Week of December 26, 2022-January 1, 2023
Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we roll into 2023 with Grateful Dead music from 1977, 1982, and 1986.
Our first stop this week is from the start of the second set from opening night of a five night run in New York City, at the Palladium on 4/29/77, where we have Samson And Delilah; Sugaree> El Paso ; Brown Eyed Women.
Next is the start of the second set from 4/6/82 in Philadelphia, where the Dead played this magnificent sequence of Shakedown Street, Lost Sailor>Saint Of Circumstance>Terrapin Station.
We hope you don’t mind another Shakedown Street, because this week we’re going to end with another version from this 4/1/86 sequence to open the second set in Providence, RI, where we have Shakedown Street ; Estimated Prophet>Eyes Of The World.
Be sure to stop by next week for more music from the vault.
