On Sunday, May 4th, "Tales From The Golden Road" reprises its debut program from this past January. The subject is the Trips Festival, the watershed cultural event held at San Francisco's Longshoremen's Hall over three days in January 1966, which helped put the Bay Area psychedelic rock scene, and especially the Grateful Dead, on the national map.
Hosts David Gans and Gary Lambert speak to filmmaker Eric Christensen, who attended the Trips Festival as a teenager and recently made a fascinating documentary on the subject. Other expert witnesses include Bob Weir and Carolyn (Mountain Girl) Garcia, both of whom where there, and Grateful Dead historian/biographer Dennis McNally.
As this is a rerun, we won't be taking phone calls. But listeners are invited to join the discussion every other Sunday from 4 to 6 pm ET, when "Tales From The Golden Road" is broadcast live on Sirius 32, the Grateful Dead Channel.
