Grateful Dead Live at Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, June 18, 1994

Non "Deadheads" take a listen...

This mid-nineties show exhibits the kind of "nahenahe" Garcia finger picking as well as the brisk country rave-ups that made the Grateful Dead so popular in the islands and endeared them to 70's Hawaiian bands like Billy Kaui & Country Comfort. (The Dead's influence can be clearly heard on CC tunes like Railway Station, Honkey Tonk Wines and Country Palace, etc).

Standout tracks here are Sugaree, Tennessee Jed, Me and My Uncle and Candyman. Echos of both slack key master Ray Kane and improvizational jazz pioneer John Coltrane can be heard here. Splendid!
