34 years ago, the good ol’ Grateful Dead returned to Blimpville for their third sold out show at the Civic Center.  The Dead had recently released two live double albums. One was an acoustic record called Reckoning, the other was the plugged in Dead Set. Join us tonight in the Big Red Love Van at 6:20 as we relive the circus that came to town on September 17, 1982, with the WBLM Mini-Concert!

Here's what they played. Pretty cool that the Portland Dead Heads got to hear Touch of Grey, almost 5 years before it was recorded!  It of course went on to be their only song on the Top 40 going all the way to #9.Grateful Dead Setlist Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME, USA 1982

Here’s High Time from that show! Livin’ the good life in Portland, Maine!
