Watch the Funktastic “Shakedown Street” From Phil Lesh, Robert Randolph & Preservation Hall Jazz Band – 10/27/2017 Full Show AUD

Phil Lesh and his current line-up of friends is roaring up the East Coast. After breaking in the brand new The Anthem theater in D.C., Phil hit Asbury Park and then Camden on Friday night.

The show followed the two before it with Phil, the Terrapin Family Band, Nicki Bluhm and Robert Randolph rockin’ the first set and Jazz Hall Preservation Band joining for half of the second set. While the whole show is gold, the tunes at the beginning of the second set where the Preservation Hall Jazz Band are stellar. The set starts out with a funky “Shakedown Street,” followed up a blazing “New Minglewood Blues” and a dark and brooding “New Speedway Boogie” with an ever so small “Other One” tease that slowly builds into an explosive ending.

This is one of the best line-ups Phil has had in years.

Phil and the gang have one more show in the all-too-brief east coast tour – The Capitol Theater on Halloween.

Listen to Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Terrapin Family Band Recreate Terrapin Station at LOCKN’ – 8/25/2017 Full Show AUD

One of the most anticipated acts at LOCKN’ this year was Phil Lesh with the Terrapin Family Band. The group was to be joined by Bob Weir for a recreation of the classic Grateful Dead album Terrapin Station. Terrapin Station turned 40 this year and Peter Shapiro put together an amazing way to celebrate it’s birthday at LOCKN’.

The second set was the recreation of the album, but the first set wasn’t too shabby either. Warren Haynes joined for “New Minglewood Blues” and Bob Weir joined the crew at the end of the set for “Jack Straw > Uncle John’s Band.”

In the second set, the Terrapin Family Band delivered Terrapin Station in full with the help of Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. For added vocal firepower, Nicki Bluhm joined on the Martha Reeves and The Vandellas cover “Dancin’ in the Streets.”

Listen to Dead and Company’s Patriotic Show in Bristow, VA – 6/23/2017 Full Show AUD

Dead and Company’s latest stop on their 2017 summer tour was right out side of Washington D.C. in Bristow, VA. This marks the second summer Dead and Co has played at Jiffy Lube Live.

Senator, former Saturday Night Live cast member and most importantly, Deadhead Al Franken took in the show and hung out with the boys backstage during the set break. Maybe the presence of Senator Franken and the proximity to D.C. compelled Bobby and the Company to close out the show with “US Blues,” “US Blues (reprise)” > “Liberty.”

Another theme in the show emerged in the first set with the run of “Althea,” “Peggy-O” and “Bertha.” Dead and Co put a exclamation point on the ladies’ themed set with “Man Smart, Woman Smarter.”

Another treat in the second set was John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” out of space.

40th Anniversary of Barton Hall: Listen to the Betty Board of the Historic Grateful Dead Show at Cornell University – 5/8/1977 Full Show AUD

Any Grateful Dead fan has at some point has listened to the Barton Hall show in the Spring 1977. Some prefer other Spring 1977 shows or other eras of the Dead, but most agree that something magical was going on that night. The show has reached such mythical proportions that the Grateful Dead finally did the show it’s due justice and released it earlier this week as part of a larger box set featuring an incredible run of shows from 5/5/1977 to 5/9/1977 entitled May 1977: Get Shown the Light. Variations of the box set, including a Cornell only 3-disc set can be streamed on Spotify or any of the other major streaming services.

So why all the fuss about the Cornell show? Here are some of the testimonials that the Dead have culled from the hundreds of reviews of the show:

“…the single best rock performance anywhere, anytime, by anyone.”

“There was just some kind of magical connection this night between the band members and the band and the audience – some texture, or some type of cosmic or celestial force is in the room.”

“This show is, was, and always will be Mecca.”

But the real proof is in the pudding. Sit back with your favorite beverage and enjoy this excellent Betty Board matrix of the show. Some of the better known highlights include possibly the best “Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain” of all time and “Morning Dew,” but the entire show from the opening energetic “New Minglewood Blues” to the “One More Saturday Night” encore is pure gold. A couple of other stand outs of the show include “Brown Eyed Women,” “Dancin’ in the Streets” and “Jack Straw.”

Leading up to the release of May 1977: Get Shown the Light, the Dead did a mini-documentary of the show featuring interviews from fans who attended the show. The first hand accounts of the show really are magical.

Here is the full setlist from 5/8/1977 Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
