Week of January 20-26, 2025
Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music from 1969, 1973, and 1984.
Our first stop this week is at Winterland in San Francisco on 10/25/69, where we have a classic Live/Dead sequence of Dark Star> St. Stephen > The Eleven > Turn On Your Lovelight, with the final song of the jam featuring Stephen Stills.
Next up is another Dark Star, with a more 1973-esque sequence following, from 10/30/73 in St. Louis: Dark Star> Stella Blue> Eyes Of The World > Weather Report Suite Prelude> Weather Report Suite Part 1> Let It Grow.
Lastly this week is the start of the second set from the sixth and final night of a week-long run at Berkeley Community Theatre on 11/3/84, featuring Feel Like A Stranger> Cumberland Blues ; Gloria> Jam> Why Don't We Do It In The Road> Space.
Be sure to join us next week for more music from the vault.
