    Thanking my lucky stars everyday for Sirius 32
    I'm a bit concerned reading TxJeds comment above... Any truth to that? I, for one, would go into a sirius depression if it were to ever go away. I'm glad this thread is here... I have a space to voice my appreciation for this station and the guy (that means everyone) who does what they do there... Everyday, first thing i do when i get to work is put on my headphones and start streaming. Meetings get postponed or avoided because they take me away from my computer and the music that fills me with joy... i have to plan my bathroom breaks between songs and shows... people think i'm nuts when they catch me playing air guitar, dancing in my chair or sometimes singing out loud despite my best efforts not to... but it's all good and hasn't gotten me fired yet : ) One of the best parts of this daily experience for me (besides Today in GD History... LOVE that show...) is the station's ability to bring back the thrill of being at a show...not knowing what they're going to play next... and playing the guessing game... I can name that tune is 3, no, 2 notes.... WOO HOO I knew it!!! It's that comforting thrill like recognizing then embracing a long lost friend. These voices...that sound... like being in love. It's the sweet anticipation of what's coming next...and knowing that no matter what it is, it will be sweetness to the soul. Every song brings back great memories and quite simply, brings me comfort.... havin' a high time, livin' the good life...even if it is while i'm 'at work'. HA! if they only knew they paid me really good money to jam to dead tunes all day long! So THANK YOU sirius 32... from one of your biggest fans, Janet from CT "it goes to show you don't never know"...

    concert lineups on serius Dead website
    Does anyone have another source for the schedule on concerts broadcast 3 times a day ? I've tried repeatedly to find out why the schedule is not updated or posted at all. I've put on a message on this site through feedback but have gotten no response. It's really frustrating to not know what shows to record in advance, we only have so much hard drive, I just want to know what's upcoming so I can record the shows I went to.Does't seem like a lot to ask since we do pay for this service! Serius is useless as far as caring about customer service or input, I've talked to at least 3 live bodies there(itself not an easy feat) and all have assured me that someone would get back to me, what a joke! Any help would be appreciated

    Spring Tour on GD channel?
    It would be kinda cool if they would broadcast one show or more llive on the GD channel. From what I understand, Jimmy Buffett is going to broadcasting all of the shows on his upcoming tour live on his Radio Margaritaville channel on XM. That would be the best of course but I don't think it will happen that way with The Dead. But maybe they do like they did with NYE on play the show the next day.

    Does anyone here have any info on the pending bankruptcy? Any insights that we won't get from the MSM? I sure hope they can pull out of it. Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor.

    I'm really enjoying the GD channel on XM . It's just about the only good thing that has come out of the merger of the two services. I like the Today in GD history segment and I am sooo happy that there are no DJ's on the channel. Most of the Sirius channels that were put on my XM radio detract from the service as whole with yapping DJ's telling you to upgrade your radio subscription package. These pitches to get you to upgrade can range from annoying to obnoxious. At least on the GD channel, it's just about the music.

Shares of Sirius/xm rose 3 cents yesterday and are now at 13 cents a share. They need someone to refinance their debt to keep them out of bankruptcy.

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?

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

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! -pugdog "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 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!

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!

and thanks for the live Worchester show. My only complaint is that everything was turned up a couple clicks higher than the drum mix and there wasn't enough thunder, esp. on songs like Terrapin. As for the show, I thought One More Sat. Nite and a little four minute Johnny B. Goode encore was a disturbingly lame way to end the show. I know $100 to the boys holds about as much value as a penny does to the rest of us and they cannot understand the sacrifices their fans have had to make to attend these shows. But overall I thought they sounded pretty good and their were some very enjoyable moments.

If the Dead want to play One More Saturday Night I wish they would try doing it as a first or second set opener. I hate it when they close the show with it cause when you here the opening notes you know the show is over and then start hoping they'll play a good encore. As for Johnny B. Goode, if it's not a part of a 2- song encore, don't bother !

I keep going to Sirius and there's a spot that says to "watch this space for info on upcoming broadcasts" but there's never anything there and nothing to click on. I know the Spectrum is coming up Sat. I hope I didn't miss any other shows. What am I doing wrong????

... on Mondays at 9:00 PM Eastern time? Why can't we have the complete and uncut concerts back in that time slot? Sirius advertised that there would be 3 concerts per day. Now for some reason on Mondays we only get 2 concerts. Haven't these Guest DJ shows been rerun about 10 times anyway? I never understood why they decided to use the scheduled concert time for these DJ shows... Is help on the way David, or or will changing this be a slipknot of towering confusion? Thank you for your consideration in this matter... :^ )

the storyteller makes no choice... Howdy, I'm happy to say that my very own "Head Set" airs tomorrow (7/3) on the G.D. channel on Sirius/XM! I read short sections from my new book, Growing Up Dead: The Hallucinated Confessions of a Teenage Deadhead, and put together some other intros to accompany the tunes. All the songs are from shows between 1987-1989. The show airs tomorrow (7/3) at 5PM EST. For Sirius/XM subscribers, the Grateful Dead channel is #32... but if you're here, you already know that... Cheers, Peter

is in error... Was supposed to be 8-16-91, and the first was played as advertised. The problem is that they played the second set of 8-18-91. Is there any way to straighten this out before the replay on FRIDAY, AUG 21st at Noon Eastern Time? Thank you very much for any help, in advance! I would try to contact Sirius myself, but they are just a bit less than say, responsive...

I think Sirius responds to things written on Deadnet with songs. There have been a lot of times I've written something here and then a short time later will here a song on Sirius that seems directly related to my post and it seems like it's happened way to many times to be coincidence. I also think Ratdog and the Dead have been inspired to play a song in their sets a couple times from what I've written here. I'm sure they won't tell me though being the Pranksters that they are. Maybe it's just sirius synchronicity and strange coincidence but I like to think they're listening.

I enjoyed tonight's show, as usual. I appreciated the insights about muscians "borrowing", "stealing", "Interpreting" other artists' songs, styles, etc. This is what truly keeps the music alive, isn't it? I was especially touched by the idea that everything a muscian gleans and absorbs from other artists through research, playing or listening to their music contributes - over time - to that muscian's own voice and style as an artist. I can't think of a better example of this than Jerry Garcia, who was a true music academic - ever seeking, exploring and learning his craft. PS: Can't wait till Furthur on the East Coast!

I can wait. From what I've heard so far, the drummers sound good, Jeff has impressed me,very enjoyable. As for John's guitar, I've found myself cringing way too much. I hope the boys can teach him a few things so I don't feel like I'm listening to a amateur copy-cat who needs to find his own musical, oh I don't know, "soul"? I hope by the time they hit the west coast I can say I've heard a vast improvement. Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you care?
