The 2015 Dave’s Picks subscription series kicks off with 2/24/74, so I played all of 2/23/74 to get you in the mood and show you how great the band sounded at that time (and how good the recordings sound!). Dave’s Picks is four complete Grateful Dead shows on CD, delivered quarterly, plus a bonus disc. You can sign up here.
And we get started on the complete 12/5/71, which includes the only known GD performance of “I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water,” a 1964 country hit for Stonewall Jackson. You can learn more about the song from the Grateful Dead Family Discography, an essential resource for lovers of Grateful Dead music.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from Garcia’s at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. Garcia’s DeadCenter keeps the Grateful Dead flame lit by featuring Grateful Dead tribute bands on Wednesday nights. That music is celebrated by on January 7 by with Cats Down Under The Stars. Instrumental soul and power funk duo Soule Monde (featuring Russ and Ray from Trey Anastasio Band) play organ-driven tunes on January 8. Events, information, and ticketing at thecapitoltheatre.com.
