Grateful Dead - 1988-03-12 - San Francisco, CA (FM)

In 1977, Dennis Erokan, publisher of Bay Area Music magazine, founded the Bammies, of Bay Area Music Awards, designed to recognize the best musicians and musical performances by San Francisco area bands. The Bammies ran for about 20 years, finally fizzling out in 1997. Each year's awards ceremony was highlighted by musical performances, and would inevitably end with everyone onstage together for a free-for-all jam session. This FM broadcast captures the Grateful Dead & friends at the 11 Annual Bammies on March 12, 1988, 33 years ago today. The Dead swept almost all the awards that night, on the heels of the commercial and critical success of the album In The Dark and the single Touch of Grey in 1987.
