Casey Jones was among the first batch of "new" songs that would signal the start of the Dead's Americana era, along with High Time and Dire Wolf, with the rest of Workingman's Dead's songs and American Beauty's to follow. Always fun to hear

Troy, NY, Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
1978-05-07

Indianapolis, IN, State Fair Coliseum
1973-10-27
China Cat Sunflower and I Know You Rider were joined together in September 1969, and from their first time together it sounded like a natural fit. As the years went on, the Dead developed an intricate, composed jam to join the two, as heard here

Hint: A song that took a 17 year hiatus from the live set, returning for the final six years
Albany, NY, Knickerbocker Arena
1992-06-12
Attics Of My Life was in the repertoire quite often in 1970, and a couple of times in 1972 before it was seemingly dropped for good. Thankfully, though, it returned in October 1989, and would be played 30 times 1989-1995.
26
Uncle John's Band
Hint: Rolling Stone magazine famously referred to the studio version of this song as "without question, the best recorded track done by this band."
San Francisco, CA, Winterland Arena
1977-03-18
The track that opens Workingman's Dead signals a new Grateful Dead sound, the Americana acoustic Dead focusing on vocal harmonies. It was often played as an encore in 1977, to very strong results as heard here

Shakedown Street>Estimated Prophet>Eyes Of The World
Hint: A classic trio of songs from 1973-1978, all of which stuck around for the duration after their debuts

1976-10-01
The two tours that surrounded the Fall Tour of 1976 (Summer 1976's comeback tour, and Spring 1977's tour of excellence) often overshadow this tour, but there are many great nights from September and early October 1976, including this great show in Indianapolis
30
He's Gone>Truckin'>Drums>The Other One>Stella Blue
Hint: A second set jam sequence that is about as classic from this era/year as it gets, featuring songs from 1967, 1970, and a double dose of 1972. We always try to go out with a bang during 30 Days Of Dead, and this certainly fits the bill
Austin, TX, Austin Municipal Auditorium
1972-11-22
This sequence is an example of the hour long jams the Dead were doing most show in Fall 1972, usually centered around an Other One or a Dark Star. Thanks for joining us for another 30 Days Of Dead.
