50 Days of the Grateful Dead: Uncle John’s Band

Day 38 – Uncle John’s Band

By request, we turn back the clock to December 26, 1979 for this classic version of Uncle John’s Band at the Oakland Auditorium.

To commemorate and celebrate the 50 year musical legacy of the Grateful Dead, an iconic American band and California favorite, we bring you “50 Days of The Dead”.

We are curating a list of fan favorites around the country from among the thousands of shows featuring the Grateful Dead, The Jerry Garcia Band along with a few surprises from artists who faithfully continue to carry on the spirit of the Dead.

Every Deadhead has their own favorite list of performances from thousands of shows. We’ll be touching upon just 50 picks culled over 50 years from fans who enjoy sharing the music.
