Listen to the Oteil Burbridge Trio Jam on the Dead at The Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park – 2/13/2021 AUD

The Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park, host to the killer annual music festival hosted a two-night golf cart drive-in event. Dubbed ‘Funky Mardi Gras “Mask”erade,’ the Saturday night slot was taken by the Oteil Burbridge Trio.

Oteil, who usually opts for a more traditional ‘Friends’ lineup, was joined by Tom Guana on guitar and Pete Lavazoli on drums. All three musicians took turns sharing the vocal responsibilities. As one would suspect, the set was stuffed with plenty of Dead and JGB tunes.

Listen to the Grateful Dead Open Record Breaking Summer Jam at Watkins Glen – 7/28/1973 Soundboard

Got the summertime blues? Go on a long, strange tour with me through time. Every day in the month of July, we’ll feature a vintage recording from the Dead. Tune in on YouTube and join the chat as we explore the wonders of summer tours past. We will get by, we will survive!

After the soundcheck to the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen last night, our We Will Get By Streaming Tour continues with the main course—the Dead’s two opening set to the one day festival.

On July 28, 1973, the Grateful Dead joined The Band and The Allman Brothers Band at the Grand Prix Racecourse in Watkins Glen, NY for Summer Jam. The triple bill, behind the efforts of legendary promoter Bill Graham had an eye popping 600,000 attendees which was broke a world record at the time.

The Dead opened the one day festival and were joined by a combination of the other band members for one of the more memorable sequence of sit in jams including “Not Fade Away,” the Allman Brothers Band’s “Mountain Jam” and “Johnny B. Goode.”

While some say it was a sloppy two sets, others revel in the show’s glory. Either way, it is definitely one of the Dead’s more historic shows and a “must-listen” on our long strange trip this summer.

Listen to the Grateful Dead’s Universal City Show on This Date in 1973 – 7/1/1973 SBD

Got the summertime blues? Go on a long, strange tour with me through time. Every day in the month of July, we’ll feature a vintage recording from the Dead. Tune in on YouTube and join the chat as we explore the wonders of summer tours past. We will get by, we will survive!

The first selection on the We Will Get By Streaming Tour is from July 1, 1973. While the later shows in ’73 get a lot of attention, this stop at the Universal Amphitheater in Universal City, CA withstands the test of time. Listen for the absolutely sublime “China > Rider” to close out the first set.

The second set kicks off with an enormous 26+ minute “Playing in the Band.” A few songs later, the Dead ease into an early version of “Loose Lucy” which has a much different strut and swagger than later versions. As if the 26+ minute PITB wasn’t heady enough, Jerry and the boys went the distant towards the end of the set with a 21+ minute version of “The Other One.”

Set 1
Mississippi Half Step, Me & My Uncle, Sugaree, The Race is On, Brown Eyed Women, Looks Like Rain, Don’t Ease Me In, Big River, China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Around & Around

Set 2
Playin’ In The Band, Row Jimmy, El Paso, Loose Lucy, Truckin’-> The Other One-> Wharf Rat-> Me And Bobby McGee, Casey Jones

Thanks to Charlie Miller for the fantastic soundboard!
