On this day back in '72, in just the second of 50+ shows at the Spectrum, the Dead put on a scintillating performance. The entire show is superlative, but the Dark Star> Morning Dew is something extra-special. After 30+ minutes of DS, a perfectly beatific acid-bluegrass jam emerges to take it into a lustrous Morning Dew. But stick around for the NFA> GDTRFB> NFA at the end, which is a barn-burner of the first order. Hell, listen to the whole damn show at Grateful Dead of the Day.
The Dead open today's 1982 show with Playin'> Crazy Fingers, which sets the stage for the action that follows, including a stand-out Big River, incredible High Time, first-ever Throwing Stones> NFA, and so much more. Check out all the magic from the Garden at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Count yourself lucky anytime you get to literally "see" the Grateful Dead back in 1974 as you do on this vid. Big River, China Doll, and Row Jimmy and a tasty jam are all here. Watch it now!
