Grateful Dead Hour by David Gans

Week of April 17, 1995

Grateful Dead 1/22/68 Eagle's Auditorium, Seattle
ALLIGATOR

Grateful Dead 1/20/68 Municipal Auditorium, Eureka CA
CLEMENTINE->
NEW POTATO CABOOSE->
BORN CROSS-EYED->
SPANISH JAM->
CAUTION JAM->
DARK STAR

Request by Dennis Gore. Kick-ass jamming from the period that gave us Anthem of the Sun!

"Clementine" didn't stay in the GD repertoire very long. We used the 2/2/68 performance for the boxed set So Many Roads (1965-1995); this one is cool, too.

You can browse or search the Grateful Dead Hour program logs on the GD Hour web site. Let me know if there's a particular program you'd like to hear, and feel free to post requests and comments here or by email to gdhour@dead.net.

Thanks for listening!

The disappointment I felt yesterday when there was no new Grateful Dead Hour posting reinforces my understanding of how much I enjoy listening to these offerings. I was very happy to see that you had managed to get the posting finished today.Thank you David.

You have a great ability to select great sounding music

Real nice 68 material . The song born cross eyed always creates a sensation that sitting down , have to get up . I think the song may carry a lot of energy or something .

This Jan 68 performance from Eureka , and the alligator from Seattle are swell . It makes me glad this band , even in their very early days kicked ass [ and were caught on tape for us 40 years later to enjoy , how nice ] Peace

p.s. my only caveat is that Dark star lasts for about 2 minutes then fades off . No prob Dave . Keep these great programs rollin ' please . For us , who live thousands of miles away from the US , anything is appreciated = ) Peace & wisdom

what CAN u say about alligator

Loved it! An excellent selection this week. I just love anything related to the Anthem sessions. A psychedelic masterpiece indeed!

If there was one, 343 would go in by unanimous vote in it's first year of eligibility. This one is sublime.

Incredible recording

Totally awesome recording. I can't believe it's 40 years old. Just the fact that someone had the foresight to tape these shows blows my mind. Thank you David and Dennis!!
