Grateful Dead Hour no. 341
The Phil Lesh-Bobby Petersen composition "Unbroken Chain" was released on the 1974 album From the Mars Hotel, but the band never performed it live until the spring of 1995. To herald the debut, but without a recording of it yet in hand, I played a 1974 studio performance of the song (I don't know if it was a rehearsal or an outtake), from a cassette of unknown origin.
The balance of this program is a nice chunk of the second set of 5/4/86 at Cal Expo - "A generous sequence of songs, very enthusiastically-played," as I said in the back-announce.
You can browse and/or search the Grateful Dead Hour program logs on the show's home page, gdhour.com. Let us know if there's a particular show you'd like to hear, and feel free to post requests and comments here or by email to gdhour [at] dead.net

request policy adjustment
lethedoom The same sentiment of dismay I expressed about the policy ending the possibility of downloading the Taper's Section selections as mp3 applies here. Please let us make these lovely selections portable enough to mesh with how we actually live our lives.
much sadness at download loss!
Mark me as a convert to the legions of the depressed. I do the low-tech mp3 download, write to CD, head out on the bike for a spin 'n listen. Alas, no more. Hauling a laptop so I can stream and listen wirelessly is just a doomed proposition. Anyways, thanks David for all the years. I remember tuning to listen up in Ak. as well as desperately trying to find signal across the Altamont in Tracy CA. The downloads were a true miracle and I'll miss them.

hé Yo
Merde !
MP3s are back..
Ooops... Flashback to last week... My bad...
Brilliant MOVe Rhino...
Can you smell my sarcasm...!!!
Why?
With the outpouring of disgust towards the recent decision made towards the Tapers Section and the GDH, I can't help but to think that the decision to surrender the Dead vault to Rhino/Warner Brothers was the worst business decision ever made by GDP.
Not only the streaming debacle but even worse, the lack of new release output. Going from 3 Dicks Picks a year, monthly new downloads and a couple major vault releases a year compared to whats been coming out over the last year or two shows a true lack of vision and continuity the key demographic has come to expect over the last decade.
Basically it appears Warner Brothers/Rhino has reverted back to it's reputation of bad business practices. The Dead should never have sold the Vault to them.
I predict years of legal litigation between the band members and their respective family trusts with WB/Rhino.

Oh well.
This is after all a business website. I guess if I demanded free music it would put me on a par with the gate-crashers on the summer '95 tour. Thanks for keeping it going as long as you did.
Peace.

last time i checked
hey fellow/picky deadheads,
last time i checked they are still "GIVING" us free music....the streaming audio works just fine for me...
I'll take what I can get...and streaming audio is much better than NO audio.
Thanks to folks like dave...at least we get SOMETHING...he's doing us a favor...in light of the flow of new releases..this weekly post of GDH fills the void for us.
Don't let me preach to you, but why waste time complaining?

But it is nice to be able to take this with you on the go.....
This is truly sad!
Eeee ~ Gans!
No, I won't get violent, not even rude, but hey, BUD... Are we all going to have to wear this forced Rhinoplasty the rest of our miserable days between then & what now?
