Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Santa Clara June 27, 2015

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING Grateful Dead saying goodbye to us, their fans, in this performance. The first two shows were played near SF and were added later after the response to the Chicago shows vastly exceeded the band s expectations with tremendous demand. These two warmup shows have not been released. The song selection is a perfect complement to the Chicago shows and cover a lot of ground. Trey s performance is remarkable in that he had to learn all of this music in a few months. 82 different songs were played, only 2 were repeated: Trucking and Cumberland Blues. That is a remarkable thing and huge props to the person who captured this performance. Weekend 2 in Chicago is fully officially released by the band on blueray and CD; however, these preweekend shows are both unreleased and hard to find is why I decided to post it for all The first show really covers the bands early years and is of great interest to fans of the band s development.
