Grateful Dead Hour no. 293
By David Gans

Week of May 2, 1994
Another all-music show, with a particularly wonderful musical reference to the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This five-note musical figure plays an important part in the film's story of inter-species communication.>

This is how a lien to GD Hour.... Poor man way!
I think this show was decent. Heard it before I believe... not sure. The St. St was cool in all yet kinda slow. I like when Jerry played his guitar solo. So fresh. Donna never stops rockin eh....? Cool GD hour.....

What a NFA !! . The O1 . This tidbit of Dead music you aired in spring 94 is just hair raising stuff .
The not fade away rips and rips and rips ; Its a MONSTER !! : ) A good mosnter , dont get me wrong ..
Great Around & Around too ; These f**rs were on fire in Eugene in 78 .. !!
I didnt hear the Dead hour ai think in the spring of 94 ( I wasn t familiar w the program yet } . Its really curious , the opening music on the broadcast has stuff from American B . And I obtained that Cd , i think like a month before your broadcast ( I d heard it for about a year } But i remember that spring just being in total awe at the music in it . Its one of the band s best and most perfect works
Thanks for reminding me of how great it was to prepare oneself to see their first couple of shows ( for me it was that summer in ' 94 ] . I was totally pumped and the scene in Noblesville IN blew me away . I loved it .
Did you get aorund to seeing a PInk floyd show that summer , Dave ??
Great re broadcast ..
