Grateful Dead - Midnight Hour (Live at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, CA 12/31/1985)

"In the early days, Midnight Hour was a Pigpen-led showstopper, complete with a big jam section in the middle similar to what the Dead did with Dancing In The Street and Good Lovin'. After the Dead's final show at the Fillmore East 4/29/71, it was dropped until 1982, when it returned 12/31/82. It was played 25 more times 1982-1994, including being the first live Grateful Dead song I ever saw the band play when they opened the show with it at my first show 3/26/87 in Hartford." - David Lemieux

Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? There's no better place to take a long strange trip with the Grateful Dead than right here. We've got music from every single studio album and a bevy of live albums, to boot. There are celebrated live performances from the 70s and 80s and official videos with more skeletons than you can shake your bones at, an exclusive seaside series on what's to come from the band's rich catalog and details on meet-ups all across the promised land. If it's community you’re after, try your hand at our yearly DEAD COVERS PROJECT competition and connect with fellow Dead Heads around the world. Heck, keep your eyes peeled you might even catch a glimpse of Pigpen on keys, Jerry in a GROOVE, Bobby tellin' tales, Mickey talkin' space, Phil and friends, Bill on the beach, or anyone from our extended family.

It's all happenin' right here. Subscribe and you won't miss a thing.
