In this, the Season 9 finale — as we've done for 1972 and 1973 the past two years, respectively — we rank the 1974 Grateful Dead shows in celebration of the 50th anniversary of that venerable year in their live history.
This will likely be the last time I undertake this exercise, as they only played four shows during their "hiatus" in 1975, and both my interest and expertise in post-hiatus Dead is considerably less.
However, 1975 is one of my favourite years for live Led Zeppelin, controversial as that may be, so look forward to lots of content on that front in the new year...
Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
