    Please get it together
    This morning I was listening to the 5-26-93 show and it ended during drums. They did not play any of the post-drums material for this show. A recording of David Gans came on, thanking everyone for listening, then they started into the normal mix of GD tunes. This is the second time I have noticed this, however I don't remember the date of the previous occurrence. It makes recording the show difficult to say the least. Also I have noticed discrepancies between the schedule of shows listed on the Sirius web page, and what is actually being played. I should say that generally I am very happy to have this channel, I really enjoy the COMPLETE concerts. Hopefully as time goes on they will iron out all these details. Did I say I miss Jerry?

    Love Sirius!
    Man - the launch of the Dead Channel has been awesome! Great live shows and some really great stuff from Pig Pen. This channel really kicks butt! They actually played a 95 show I was at and I remembered it being a crappy show. After listening to it on the channel I changed my mind. It was a pretty decent show. Anyway - One thing that annoyed me today was the 9AM Pacific show. The show was from Kansas in 85, I think. But - with access to the vault why play a master audience tape, that sounded like it was recored in a tin can? I have plenty of those shows in my collection :) Oh yeah - i also like the little segment of This Day in Dead History, or something like that. He always plays good stuff. How come the show sounds crisp but his (I don't know who does it) voice sounds like it has been recorded using two cans and a piece of string? I shouldn't complain - the channel rocks! Just got finished a nice 60's Dark Star....they are definitely dishing up some good Dark Stars

    Just get Sirius
    I'm telling you all, between the Jam On station and the GD station, plus every major sport except baseball....you just can't go wrong with Sirius. For those of you that are XM subscribers, you really have two choices: (1) get an online only subscription to Sirius (which does you no good in the car, but is cheaper than buying a radio and paying the subscription fee) or (2) cancel XM and get Sirius.....surely the marginal cost cannot be greater than the joy you'll get out of having an entire channel devoted to the greatest band of all-time right?

    Sirius Resets to Disorder????
    Wow! I loved listening to 4 hours of the crowd montage gearing up for the launch of the station and the sweet 74 show. As time time approached, I made sure all my household chores were done, after being up for 17 hours in anticipation of the launch. Here it comes!! Oh yeah! Promised Land!!! Before the end of the first verse, my Sirious player had a Sirius Fit and switched it automatically over to what the station used to be. I looked at my player, and sure enough, it's on Channel 32, but now it says Sirius Disorder.... which is supposed to be Channel 70... WTF??? So after powering down my player 3 times, waiting for it to connect, and hitting 32 and still getting Disorder... It gets the idea that I'm highly pissed and finally reloads the channel list with 32 being the Dead channel. In the middle of Me & My Uncle. Hopefully, that will be the one and only glitch. I subscribed to Sirius specifically for this channel (and maybe a bit of the comedy.)

    Sirius Mistake?
    I was a bit unimpressed with the idea of the boys stopping by for the new radio show (on the basis that there is only so much time and energy to spare from touring) but after hearing Steve Parish field questions and give his view from back stage (streaming GDH # 796 on this site), I now believe I was wrong. I loved the story about Jerry singing/playing "to" the guy in the audience ;-) as well as the other stories. Thanks again, DG. The Dude Abides!

    I'll be grateful for whatever they contribute to the Sirius radio show but they can't be making music (touring) and be committed to everything else, from the vault to this new radio show, at the same time. I prefer to see them live, everything else is bonus. The Dude Abides!

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! "Inspiration, move me brightly"

If there's any way you can get the new Furthur song,Welcome to the Dance, into the rotation that would be nice. I hope there is a chance of a live New year's eve broadcast, or maybe a new years day re'broadcast if live ain't gonna work. Till we all fall down It'll do you fine

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?
