This week we return to the post-coma Dead of early 1987 - this show took place on March 3, 1987 at the Kaiser Convention Center in Oakland. I happen to think the band, and Garcia, shows a real rebound here and hope you agree.

  • Where did the episodes go?

    I had looked forward to several years of enjoying a new episode every day. Suddenly 13 years of episodes are gone; and the many shows before 2006 were never in my feed. I checked for a “donate” button or “contact us” button but none of several websites had one. Unfortunately, it appears a review is my only way to contact the professor.
