Every week in Wednesday Intermezzo we throw you a link to the latest edition of the Grateful Dead’s Taper’s Section. If you haven’t been clicking on that link and downloading all the tracks on the page, you are truly missing out.
David Lemieux and the archive staff are releasing tasty rare nugget after nugget each and every week. For example, this week’s edition features the band attempting a take on John Lennon’s Watching The Wheels from a 1995 rehersal.
Everyone jumped on the Dead when the organization put the kibosh on downloading shows from Archive.org, yet nobody’s giving them credit for making chestnuts from the vault available free on a weekly basis. So we will… ::golfclap::

Good to know! I’m gonna let that spam stay there just because it made me chuckle.
Meanwhile, how awesome is Phil’s bass on that Watching the Wheels? Incredible! I love the bombs. (Sorry, didn’t mean it, don’t put me on a watch list.)
Thanks again! I’ll get you guys at Hidden Track some love from the ‘cast in teh coming weeks.
Does a Scarlet>Fire ever disappoint? And speaking of Phil, just listen to him hitting the Fire theme – brilliant. The Grateful Goddamn Dead, boy they were good!
