Dead Show/podcast for 12/27/24

Happy New Year! ... but this NYE set by the Dead should put you in the mood to say goodbye to 2024 and to ring in a brand new 2025... This show occurred at an important turning point for the Dead, as they moved forward with many 'new' tunes and with Keith and Donna as members of the band (Donna makes her vocal debut here on 'One More Saturday Night'). The sound on this FM broadcast is generally very good and the band is tight. The boys play here with a great youthful enthusiasm.. They open with 'Dancin' In the Streets' which they wouldn't play again until June of 76.. This is a long and fun first set, clocking in at over 90 minutes.. Pig has some great moments here - Mr. Charlie, Chinatown Shuffle and Next Time You See Me are great..  All in all a great first set, we'll hear set 2 next week..    Grateful Dead Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 12/31/1971 - Friday One      Dancing In The Street [#8:29]   Mr. Charlie [3:38]   Brown Eyed Women [4:22]   Beat It On Down The Line [2:56]   You Win Again [3:36]   Jack Straw [4:31]   Sugaree [7:01]   El Paso [4:14]>   Chinatown Shuffle [2:35]   Tennessee Jed [6:41]   Mexicali Blues [3:16]   China Cat Sunflower [4:40] > I Know You Rider [5:18]   Next Time You See Me [4:30]   Playing In The Band [6:09]   Loser [6:15]   One More Saturday Night (1) [4:23#]  You can listen to this week's Deadpod here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod122724.mp3  Thanks for your support this year.. it means alot..  Happy New Year.
