This months show takes us up to Oregon for a typically laid back, and supremely weird "event".   It goes without saying:  You will like this!!!   Halftime gives us a glimpse of a global superstar preparing for tour... 1970's style.  Have a great time with this one!

This months show is a nice sample of what the band was up to in the Spring of 1989.  Often over-looked by its big brothers, the Summer and Fall, this tour shows the band was already on a tear when Summer came around.  Halftime has a fun few moments with the David Nelson Band, with Bob Weir playing the role of David Nelson.  Enjoy this months show!!!

A great show from an epic era of Grateful Dead, when every night was something new and very exciting... an era of amazing Dark Star's and other worldly Other One's... The Fall of 1972!  "Bob" brings in some Gregg Allman for halftime, and this months show is a sure-fire pleaser in any household!  Enjoy!

I was out of town for the New Year, but am back and coming at you with some Good Old Grateful Dead from the odd year of 1975.  At halftme, "Bob" brought in some guitar-god work from the likes of Clapton and Beck.  Good times at the DSOTM Podcast... have fun!!!

This month takes us back to Oakland to compare a few shows we have spoken about over the past few months... I think you all will enjoy this one a bunch, the other show we heard a few months back (Episode 212).  For halftime, "Bob" brought in some great Neil Young w/ POTR.  Happy Holidays to you all, and may 2025 be all that it can be!

This months show is one of those nights with the Grateful Dead where everyone seems to remember the date.  Hard to think we waited  this long, but here we are.  For the intermissions you just get an extra dose of the two of us... too good of a night to even have to think about anything but an amazing show!  Enjoy ya'll.

While this months show flies under the radar, Your Old Friend Dave had an amazing night being there... in person, 33 years ago.   Crazy!   A little Pearl Jam for halftime, and I think you guys and gals will enjoy this months listening experience.
