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
Thanks for listening!

....Jerry's voice had improved quite a bit in 1986 as compared to 1984/85? He no longer sounds like he just swallowed a bottle of draino....
....that when I hook my computer up to my stereo, the sound is pretty darn good, so I'm not missing the MP3 as much as I thought I would.
David, thanks again for this GDH 341. I swear this was in my Top 3 "wish list". That 5/4/86 segment was one of the best played jams from that era. And that Unbroken Chain....whew!
These Grateful Dead Hours are near and dear to my heart and I'd love to hear these again...

Thanks!
....and the rest of us, PLEASE use this comment area to discuss the gdhour, request/recommend/beg for upcoming postings. We got our reasons for the change, they are more than legit and it is time to remember our own advice. RESPECT the site, respect the efforts of our benefactors and respect this community enough to live and love. Bask in the glory of the music, leave the negative pressing to the NFL and Senate reporters.
This GDH was near the top of my list for requests, so thanks for reading my mind. I could have sworn I saw the word "Download" when this new feature was announced last month.
I never got to listen to GDHour. Being able to tune in once a week is a pleasure I will always cherish.
Thank you, very much.
You people are ridiculous. You get the chance to listen to Grateful Dead Hour's past that you might have missed, get to listen to great stuff from the Vault, yet you still complain. The "Archive" incident happened two years ago, get over it. If you have the ability to comment, you obviously have the ability to listen. Just do that, listen and enjoy.
Thank you the two Davids, and Rhino.
It could be better, but what the hell, it is still the best.

As someone who is too young to have attended a Dead concert, recordings are all I have to enjoy this music. Also I'd say that most people of my generation are used to music in digital files, so stopping the downloads seems like a very backwards move. Way to alienate the people who can continue enjoying this music into the next century. Guess I'll have to buy some blank tapes so I can listen to Scarlet/Fire while I go running. Pretty amusing in 2007, huh?
Hey David, I believe you know that most of us appreciate your position, especially in light of all you've brought us over the many years. Peace
.... and I can't get this to even make any noise at all! Here or in that confoundit now worthless Taper's section. Whether I choose Qtime or Windows media. Nada. Just sits there. Zero. And yes I do have all those gosh dang up dates and latest software versions et cetera. But man those dang mp3s I took em out on that iPod contraption and ROCKED!
Somthin that WAS cool is now a stinky dag gone mess. Anyone there care?! Hello?

Jerry's voice did get better in '86, and even better after he returned from his illness at the end of the year.
Thank you for your requests. You're going to like the one that goes up today!
