Dead Show of the Month

This months show is yet another one that you probably have heard... but perhaps not with this mix.  We are all so used to hearing the Official Release from this show that we forget about the  2 tracks that circulate.   This one sounds really nice!  We hope you ALL are enjoying the ride!!!

This months show is a nice sample of what the band was up to in the Spring of 1989.  Often over-looked by its big brothers, the Summer and Fall, this tour shows the band was already on a tear when Summer came around.  Halftime has a fun few moments with the David Nelson Band, with Bob Weir playing the role of David Nelson.  Enjoy this months show!!!
