Listen to the Grateful Dead Debut “Ripple”, “Brokedown Palace”, and “Truckin’” at the Fillmore West on This Day in 1970 – 8/18/1970 AUD

After over a week hiatus, the We Will Get By Streaming Tour is back tonight with one of the Dead’s most significantly historic shows in their 30 year careers during the summer of 1970.

With the Dead’s legendary album American Beauty to be released on November 1, 1970, the Dead were busy writing and debuting songs in the summer of ’70. Playing at one of their favorite venues for a string of three dates between August 17 and August 19, the Dead debuted some of the most timeless tunes in their catalogue during the second show at the Fillmore West.

On the 18th, the Dead played an acoustic set and an electric set. In the opening set the Dead debuted “Truckin’,” “Ripple,” “Brokedown Palace” and “Operator.” Wow.

While there is some speculation that the Dead debuted a lot of these tunes the night before, only a fragment of a recording of the show exists so no one can know for sure.

Acoustic Set: Truckin*, Dire Wolf, Friend Of The Devil, Dark Hollow, Ripple* > Brokedown Palace*, Operator*, Rosalie McFall, New Speedway, Cold Jordan, Swing Low

Electric Set: Dancin, Next Time You See Me, Mama Tried, Cryptical > Drums > Other One > Cryptical > Sugar Magnolia, Attics, Man’s World, Not Fade Away, Casey Jones > Uncle John’s Band

Thanks to Jonathan Aizen for sharing this truly historic audience recording!

Watch the Grateful Dead Kick Off Their Run in Tinley Park in 1990 – 7/21/1990 Video

It’s Friday and that means that Shakedown Stream is back with another Grateful Dead concert. Much to our chagrin, Shakedown Stream will reportedly become more infrequent than weekly as it has been.

This week’s stream brings us to Brent Mydland’s last tour during the summer of 1990. The Dead rolled into Tinley Park right outside of Chicago to play three nights at the World Amphitheatre, with the run kicking off on 7/21.

The highlight to look out on this one is Brent’s solo during the first set “Friend of the Devil.”

Back by popular demand, and well because there still isn’t a whole hell a lot of live music to feature nowadays, the We Will Get By Streaming Tour has extended into August!

Tonight’s show features the Dead in the summer of 1969. The day after Jerry Garcia’s 29th birthday, the Dead played a gig at Family Dog at the Great Highway in San Francisco, CA. Unlike some of the mid-sixties shows we featured last month, by 1969 the Dead had really started to dig into some of their songs for some epic extended jams.

The highlights of the show include “Hard to Handle” and “The Other One.”

Setlist
Casey Jones, Hard To Handle, Mama Tried, High Time, Silver Threads, Slewfoot, I’m A King Bee, Cryptical Envelopement-> Drums-> The Other One-> Cryptical Envelopement-> Turn On Your Love Light

Thanks to Charlie Miller for the recording.
