A bit of a deviation from our norm: Bob Weir, who died in January, would have turned 79 on October 16, so this week is all Grateful Dead, from his 42nd birthday: October 16, 1989, at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, released in 2001 as Nightfall of Diamonds. "Feel Like a Stranger" and "Let It Grow" come from the first set. The rest is the second set's long, connected run from "Dark Star" through "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band" and a jam, into "Drums" to close it out. Happy Birthday, Bob, wherever you are.
