Grateful Dead
I have heard some pretty positive rumors of our carrying at least one show from the tour. Stay tuned.
I hope our buddies at Sirius are doing well. I'm wondering if they are going to turn us on to some live Dead. I think a Madison Square Garden show would be worthy of a broadcast through-out the world and across the universe, maybe a Shoreline too!
thanks for the heads up!
I contacted David Gans and have gotten a lil brainchild of mine to come to fruition...The "Tales" on March 8th will be a special on the subject of GD Tribute bands keeping the vibe alive and well...plus turning countless post-Jerry era fans onto the magic and love of The Grateful Dead (like myself)...this particular "Tales" will include interviews with Jimmy Tebeau-founder of "The Schwag" as well as some samples of their tunes....The Schwag hold summerlong camping festivals in a beautiful campground located in Salem, MO featuring all types of great music and of course shows by The Schwag....lots of vendors...LOTS of LOVE! So yeah, tune in this Sunday and enjoy! The torch is still burning brightly and there are masses new fans being turned on due to these tribute bands...Now Gans is even on the lineup for "Springjam" April 17+18! He's gonnaq experience the beauty firsthand...plus we'll get to hear him jam....NRPS is gonna be there, so is Donna Jean...in May Billy Kreutzman is gonna be there too...i encourage any/all to come check it out...visit www.theschwag.com for further details....Stu Allen from JGB with Melvin Seals is now on lead guitar for The Schwag....his Jerry vocals are fantastic....sounds just like late 80's-90's Jerry! Check it out...and tune in to the Tales From The Golden Road on March 8th!

"In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."
I've posted this before, but have not seen any responses. Does anyone else have a problem with serius not posting schedules for three times a day concerts on their Grateful Dead site? Spotty at best,most of the time it's not posted. REALLY HARD to do this ,I guess.Makes it really difficult to record shows we've been at or might want because it was a great show.Lots of posts about their financial state, but none about the lack of service we get? W.T.F.? Oly- bob
Liberty Media Corp. will lend Sirius/xm $530 million dollars. It also says S/xm has 20 million subscibers which means they should be bringing in, if I'm correct, over $200 million per month. I wonder why they can't get by on that? Could someone inform me?
what a sigh of relief!

The deal went through yesterday[somewhere around $500 million]so Sirius/XM is fine for the next year or 2.
That seems like a good fit for both parties involved. Hope it goes through.
Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor.

Loved the Tipper Gore interview after she jammed with The Dead the other night. While they were doing the interview Bobby comes by and they start talking and Tipper starts a rap about the spiritual side of drumming and Bobby's like "I've heard That before", and then "I'm gonna go get a drink". Hilarious!
