Cover Friday
Grateful Dead - “Mama Tried” (original by Merle Haggard)
04.26.71 - Fillmore East - New York, NY
My Mom (and Dad) are visiting for the next week. They arrived Wednesday night and we celebrated Mothers Day with her a little late.

Grateful Dead - “The Race Is On” (George Jones cover)
It’s Derby weekend. If the boys were still touring, you’d be guaranteed to get this song around this time of year (the one time they would play it late in their career). This version is from the classic 5-26-73 Kezar Stadium show.

Song of the day
Bob Weir & The National - “My Brother Esau”
Thank you to The National for getting Bobby to dust this song off. I’ve always dug it.
The Grateful Dead w/ Etta James & the Tower of Power - “Tell Mama”
The WNRN Spring fund drive has begun. They are the best radio station in the area (by far) and one of my favorites of all-time. Central Virginia - show them your support if you can. I donated during the Grateful Dead & Phriends show and received an old school CD-R of 12/31/82 Set 3.
Grateful Dead - “Eyes of the World”
06.17.91 - Giants Stadium, E. Rutherford NJ
A rare Eyes show opener, which might explain why there is a lot of smiling going on between Jerry and Bruce.
