"Celebrating July 4th with Grateful Dead Memories and Rolling Stones Reverence"
Larry Mishkin highlights a memorable Grateful Dead concert from July 1984 at Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan, which holds special significance for Larry and his friends who attended the University of Michigan. He reflects on how attending this concert was a fitting farewell for his crew as they wrapped up their college years.
The show begins with the Grateful Dead's lively rendition of "Iko Iko," a song with a rich history and a favorite of Larry's. He shares his experiences of following the Dead's tour in 1984, which included several memorable concerts. He discusses the band's performance of "Little Red Rooster," a blues classic by Willie Dixon, and how it sometimes felt like a letdown after high-energy openers but ultimately captivated the audience with its jam session.
Larry then shifts to music news, discussing the origins of the song "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, written by Shel Silverstein. He highlights Silverstein's diverse contributions to music and literature, including his work with Johnny Cash and Dr. Hook.
The episode transitions to Larry's recent experience at a Rolling Stones concert at Soldier Field in Chicago. He recounts the thrill of seeing the Stones live, especially with Mick Jagger's energetic performance and the band's enduring musical prowess. The setlist included classics like "Start Me Up," "Wild Horses," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Gimme Shelter," and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Larry praises the band's longevity and urges listeners to seize any opportunity to see the Rolling Stones live. In more music news, Larry introduces Daniel Donato, a rising star in the Cosmic Country genre, who recently performed at the Chop Shop in Chicago. He expresses his admiration for Donato's music, hinting at a promising future for the young artist.
