Join Deadheads Alex and Dave - except this time, just Dave - for the last WP episode of 2023! For this end-of-year extravaganza, we're looking at the 4 shows from December 26th 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982, all from the Oakland Auditorium Arena in Oakland, CA. From those 4 shows, we'll build a "mega set" for the ultimate 12/26 imaginary playlist!
