Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

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"...

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

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 was at the show they're playin on sirius right now, Kean College, 2nd row. One of the best. Off to mushroom land!

Been out of the loop for awhile, ain't no feelin' like 18 wheelin'! Good to see the community (and the vines) growing like weeds. See ya out there... His job is to shed light, not to master...

where ya been?

Not sure where to put this, but I stumbled on this interview with Jerry from '87, thought I'd share a link. Enjoy... http://www.hulu.com/watch/11363/nbc-news-on-stage-grateful-dead-jerry-g… His job is to shed light, not to master...

well, I guess it's bound to come up sometime. r u guys gonna broadcast any of the shows??? The first "live Dead show I ever heard was Englishtown 77 on the radio, hanging out at a buudds and tripppin hard on purple microdot, after the show a thunderstorm came through and a lightinging bolt took out the transformer across the street.what a blast.

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.
