Grateful Mondays with Mike.  6 PM.  Every third Monday of the month, we will be playing a recording of an entire Grateful Dead concert and groovin’ on some of the best live music ever performed!  This month’s installment will be a show performed at the Baltimore Civic Center back on March 26th, 1973. A fantastic performance from start to finish, this was just 2 weeks after founding member Ron “Pigpen” McKernan had passed away. Along with past favorites, there’s a heavy dose of psychedelic jazz-influenced jams and songs from “Wake of the Flood” which would be released later that year in October. The first set is the typical hour and a half, but a monster second set that’s over 2 hours long! Another Monday night to state the obvious: “There’s nothing like a Grateful Dead concert”!  Ironbark Brewing Company, 2610 Kibby Road, Jackson.
