Dead of the Day: 01-04-1969

Fillmore West

San Francisco, California

Back in 1969, the Dead played a show at the Fillmore West. But that was the only January 4th show the boys ever did. According to a newspaper article on the show, the setlist was quite good, including Morning Dew, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Dark Star> Stephen> The Eleven> Lovelight. Unfortunately, that is all we know about the show. There are no recordings out there of that evening or any of the others from the band’s four-night run at the Fillmore West in early January of ’69.

If you are really jonesing for a show – and why would you not be – we recommend checking out the closest extant recording to this night in ’69, the Dead’s oft-overlooked performance at the Miami Pop Festival back on December 29, 1968. And be sure to check in tomorrow when we take it back to 1979.

There are no other shows or recordings from January 4th
