Dead Show/podcast for 6/16/17

This week's Deadpod features a classic from the Wall of Sound era - June 23rd 1974 - from Miami FL. This is a great big first set, to go with that great big sound stage - clocking in at over 1:47, and featuring some excellent versions of Dead standards along with the only time they ever played the great 'Let It Rock'. The sound is a bit muffled at first, but clears up fairly nicely, there are some anomalies here and there -this setup had its issues - but overall it sounds great. There's a fine lead in to Mississippi Half-Step and Jack Straw is really rockin'. Jerry does an excellent version of 'To Lay Me Down' and getting the entire 'Weather Report Suite' is a treat. A China Doll closer to set 1 shows us just how unusual this first set was..    Jai-Alai Fronton, Miami, FL (6/23/74)   One   Ramble on Rose Black-Throated Wind Mississippi Half-Step Beat it on Down the Line Row Jimmy Jack Straw Let it Rock Cumberland Blues El Paso To Lay Me Down WRS Prelude WRS Part 1 Let it Grow China Doll   You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod061617.mp3     Hope you are having a marvelous summer!  I'm envious of those of you getting to see Dead & Co!
