Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music from 1969, 1973, and 1991.
Our first selection this week is from 10/26/69 at Winterland in San Francisco, where we have this show-opening sequence of Jam, Hard To Handle, Cold Rain And Snow, Me And My Uncle, Next Time You See Me, Dire Wolf, Casey Jones.
Next is the end of the first set from the first night of a two night at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, where we have Don't Ease Me In ; Black Throated Wind ; Tennessee Jed ; The Race Is On ; Row Jimmy ; El Paso ; Eyes Of The World > China Doll ; Around And Around, including that terrific first set Eyes.
Lastly this week is the entire first set from Halloween 1991 in Oakland, the fourth show of a four night run that was also a de facto farewell to, and celebration of, Bill Graham, who had passed away just days before this run of shows began: Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower ; Little Red Rooster ; Loser ; Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues ; Let It Grow.
Be sure to join us here next week for more great music from the vault.
