February 16 - February 22, 2009
This week we have four big jams for you, three of which are from 1973, and one from 1969.
Our first stop is at the Dream Bowl in Vallejo, CA, a dance hall located in this North Bay city. From this concert, which took place just a few days before the famous Fillmore West 1969 run of shows, we have Doin' That Rag>St. Stephen>The Eleven>Lovelight. Not quite the Live/Dead suite, but pretty close. And so well played!
Jumping ahead four years, we have both halves of the big jam from 2/19/73 in Chicago. The first portion features He's Gone>Truckin'>The Other One, with plenty of fine jamming throughout, and the show would end with the equally interesting sequence of Eyes of the World>China Doll, Sugar Magnolia, Casey Jones. This tour was loaded with great music, and this is certainly no exception.
Our last big jam of the week is from the very next show, on 2/21/73 in Champagne-Urbana, IL, and features the perfect combination of Truckin'>Eyes of the World. I really can't get enough 1973 Grateful Dead music.
Make sure you come by next week for music from 1966, 1969, 1973 and 1974. It's a busy week next week here at the Tapers' Section, so try not to miss it.

Thank you for this great music. Nice selections! The jam at the end of 'Doin' That Rag' is strong, groovy, and inspired to say the least. 'St. Stephen' and 'The Eleven' are next level and adventurously communicative for big enjoyment.
The 'Truckin' and 'Eyes of the World' are a brilliant and flooring pair. The drum and bass jam in between carries a transition that is worth multiple listens.
Thank you for the great music every week Grateful Dead, Dead.net, and David Lemieux!!!!

Back in the day if anyone
Back in the day if anyone showed up too late night with tapes this good they would have been the temporary late night Grateful Dead kingpin for about a week. (which comes with all kinds of fringe benefits :)
These are gems. I don't have the largest library of GD in the world but this is better than 99% of what I do have.
PLAY THE ELEVEN!!!
Great version of the eleven!! They should play that more often, yes, the circus music!!
