Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

I'm sure it will be available on XM eventually. They're just getting started on the process of integrating the two platfroms. Gans/GD Hour blog

Looks like the Grateful Dead channel won't be part of the best of Sirius package for XM subscribers.[dangit!]

heard a "Comes A Time" that blew my mind

I heard a great Samson & Delilah Saturday afternoon. Had to crank it to the max! What a sweet concert this morning! If you get confused, listen to the music play!

Ya think you guys could play some Jerry and John live acoustic, also love the song "And It Stoned Me" I dare you guys to play that Sante Fe 83 show (cold rain & snow encore) on or before the 25th anniversary and see how happy it would make us.

Not sayin it didn't happen cause I can't sit in my car all day, but I didn't hear one Jerry show during Jerry week. Mountain girl was great though.

Would love to hear the show from the Marin Civic Center, Halloween 1983. Have never heard a tape but remember it as a great show. Also, Sante Fe Downs 1983, was there and had a tape for a few years, if the whole show can't be played how bout Goin Down the Road..., One More Sat. Night, and Cold Rain and Snow. Awesome stuff! Thanks!

Well it appears the merger went through without Mr. Adelstein's proposed changes (he ultimately voted against the merger). It appears the Republican Deborah Tate cast the deciding vote after both companies agree to pay fines related to the exclusive agreements struck with equipment manufactures. The "a la carte" idea seems to have survived so next year I'll see where that ends up and hopefully I can purchase a system and service (finally). I still think the business plan was unnecessarily complicated for both XM and Sirius and I expect to see advertising at some point in the future. Unfortunately the most greedy folks I've ever met are shareholders of publicly traded business and they will, at some point, demand that revenue from Madison Ave. As for terrestrial based radio, I feel this deal is unfair and a sad footnote to it's history but ultimately their demise was set in motion years ago and included elements not directly related to this argument. "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

the GD (in all it's forms) will be considered a treasured public service, hahahaha ~ ; - ) "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

I didn't take it as having anything to do with the GD Hour's commercial prospects. I figured you were saying the GD channel is a "public service" like CSPAN or something. We may think of the GD as a precious cultural resource, but the world at large may not agree. Gans/GD Hour blog
