The Lost Live Dead blog explored the Dead’s unusual history in the region in the comprehensive post, “The Grateful Dead in North Carolina and Virginia, 1968-1995 (Building A Bridge to the New South.” Originally playing around the Triangle in the early 1970s, Grateful Ed Ibarguen and the South Wing Band stayed active into the 21st century.

 

The Dead’s relationship with Duke continued with the 2022 launch of Duke University Press’s Studies in the Grateful Dead series, as well as Eric Mlyn’s Dead at Duke course.

 

A tribute to Deadcast friend Steve Silberman, who wrote notes for Friend Of the Devils and was a frequent contributor to the podcast.

 

Robert K. Toutkoushian’s groundbreaking paper, “Is There A Day of the Month Effect on ‘Beat It Down the Line’?

 

A photo of Cameron Indoor Stadium’s interior is often misattributed to the Dead’s appearance, but was actually taken a few months earlier at a show by the Atlanta Rhythm Section with Chuck Leavell’s post-Allman Brothers act Sea Level. Deadcast guest Joe DiMona is at right in a down vest.

    What a fabulous Deadcast! Brought back so many memories of my first Grateful Dead show. I've been in Cameron many, many times, but that show was a highlight. It really opened my eyes and set the stage for becoming a life-long Deadhead. I made just ONE photo that night, but it shows the whole band and you can plainly see who is wearing the Duke t-shirt! I tried to upload it here but it won't go. So if anyone knows how I can do that, let me know. The photo is supposed to be included in the 78 Duke CDs that are out now, but I haven't seen it because my copies have not arrived yet. Anyway, fantastic job on this one! Well done.
