Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have Grateful Dead music from 1977, 1980 and 1981, a short but excellent span of the Dead’s performing career.
First up this week is music from the Grateful Dead’s stop in Albuquerque, NM on 10/7/77, where they’d play this second set sequence of Ramble On Rose ; Passenger ; Terrapin Station > Playing In The Band. This tour was filled with great music right through the 11/6/77 show in Binghamton, NY.
Next up is the entire first set of one of the majestic three set show in 1980, this one frpm 10/7/80, the most interesting of the acoustic sets from 1980. From this greta night of music, we have Iko Iko ; Dark Hollow ; Rosalie McFall ; Monkey And The Engineer ; To Lay Me Down ; Heaven Help The Fool ; Deep Elem Blues ; El Paso > Ripple.
Lastly this week is an interesting second set sequence from 9/30/81 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Grateful Dead’s only performance is Scotland. From the Europe ‘81’s tour-opening show, we have Feel Like A Stranger ; Ship Of Fools ; Samson And Delilah ; Never Trust A Woman.
