Dead Show/podcast for 12/20/24

Here's a bit of a Christmas present from the Deadpod - a great second set from December 12, 1973 at the Omni in Atlanta.  This features a fine combination of classic tunes and some unusual combos (see Mississipi Half-Step into Me & Bobby McGee, as well as Wharf Rat> Me & My Uncle>Eyes). All the songs here are first rate - the China >Rider is wonderful as is the GSET.. then we get a complete Weather Report Suite..Eyes of the World into Morning Dew is one for the ages..    Then, after this massive set, I've included the soundcheck for this show, which has some really fun versions and even some Holiday sounds! I hope you enjoy!     Grateful Dead The Omni Atlanta, GA 12/12/1973 Two      Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [7:23] > Me And Bobby McGee [5:06][0:12] China Cat Sunflower [6:48] > Jam [1:29] > I Know You Rider [4:57][2:01] Greatest Story Ever Told [5:10] Row Jimmy [9:05] % Weather Report Suite Prelude [1:21] > Weather Report Suite Part 1 [4:33] > Let It Grow [11:11] % Wharf Rat [9:05] > Me And My Uncle [2:48][0:18] Eyes Of The World [12:27] > Morning Dew [14:41] % Sugar Magnolia Encore      Casey Jones Soundcheck: Sleigh Ride Rip It Up Blue Suede Shoes Peggy-O Jack Straw Cumberland Blues Thirty Days You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122024.mp3  I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, and Winter Solstice! thank you for all you kindness and support...
