Behold the Quinquagenary!
Now you say it, <kwin"-kwaj'-en-air-ee>.
This delightful, mouthful of a word refers to a 50th anniversary. Since early 2018, I've been presenting material from live Grateful Dead concerts that happened close to my air date, but about 50 years earlier.
Today starts my first two-part Quinquagenary, because I'm covering an entire run of shows instead of just one (or even two) individual shows. I'm of course referring to the (then) 'final run' at Winterland. Those five gigs also deliver far, far more music (like 18+ hours!) than I could squeeze into just one broadcast. In fact, my rough first pass through the gigs gave me well over the nearly four hours I'll have to play with, so some tough DJ decisions are forthcoming.
