Welcome back to the Tapers' Section, where this week we wrap up 2015 and enter 2016 with some Grateful Dead music from 1973, 1982 and 1991.
Our first stop this week is in Baltimore on 3/26/73, where the Dead played a very fine, and very long, show, which featured this excellent big second set jam: Truckin' > Weather Report Suite Prelude > Jam > Wharf Rat > Me And Bobby McGee > Eyes Of The World > Morning Dew.
Next is the start of the show from the tour-closing concert from Summer 1982, ith this good sequence from 8/10/82 in Iowa City: Feel Like A Stranger , Friend Of The Devil , New Minglewood Blues ,Tennessee Jed ,Cassidy.
Lastly this week we have the end of the show from 3/25/91 in Albany, NY, the second year in a row the Dead played a three night run at the new (opened in 1990) Knickerbocker Arena in downtown Albany: Space > The Other One >Black Peter >Throwing Stones>Playing In The Band Reprise, Lovelight.
