Chuck Berry - 1980-09-01 - Seattle  WA (SBD)

In their 30 year career spanning over 2300 concerts, the Grateful Dead played 484 different songs. Only 17 of those tunes were played more than 400 times each, and two of them were covers of Chuck Berry songs - Promised Land (427) and Around & Around (417). The Dead also played Johnny B. Goode, probably Chuck's most famous tune, 284 times live. In December 1971, the Dead played Chuck's Run Rudolph Run a half a dozen times live. Two other Chuck Berry tunes, Let It Rock & You Never Can Tell, were often played live by the Jerry Garcia band. One other connection between The Dead and Chuck - the two appeared on a double bill at the Fillmore West in San Francisco on March 19, 1967. This soundboard recording captures Chuck live in Seattle on September 1, 1980, 37 years ago today. The set list includes all 3 of Chuck's songs that the Dead played most often!
