Next is the start of the show from the middle night of the New Year’s run on 12/28/80 in Oakland, featuring Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo > Franklin's Tower ; Me And My Uncle > Big River ; Bird Song.
Lastly this week we have the end of the show on 6/28/88 at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, NY, the last bit of music the Grateful Dead would ever play at SPAC: I Will Take You Home> Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad > I Need A Miracle> Stella Blue > Not Fade Away, Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to join us here next week for more music from the vault.
