All right now we're listening to the Grateful Dead recorded on December 31, 1979 at the Oakland Auditorium Arena. We heard a Merle Haggard song, "Mama Tried" and then a dead classic, "Mexicali Blues". Great sound and a great show on New Year's Eve.

Now here's one of my favorite dead songs, one I love to sing, so feel free to sing along at home, "I Know You Rider".

Here they are again doing a Rolling Stones hit written by Buddy Holly, "Not Fade Away".

I've got two more songs from this amazing show. First "New Minglewood Blues", a Memphis Jug Band song written by Noah Lewis. Then we'll hear the Young Rascals hit "Good Lovin". So here they are, the most popular live band of the twentieth century, The Grateful Dead.
