Thoughts on Sirius sound quality

The two vehicles I have (2014 VW and 2013 Ford) both have Sirius in them I am not an over the top audiophile, but the sound quality on the GD channel satellite broadcast is poor. Very Compressed, muddy and un-dynamic....it is painful to listen to at times, esp on the live material The internet feed at home evidently has a higher bitrate and sounds a whole lot better, crisp and clear I want to support the band beyond description and really enjoy the programming (esp Tales of the Golden RD). It would be grate if GDinc could work with sirius to improve the sound quality of the broadcasts, as my gut is telling me it is not the source material, but rather the satellite transmission

They offer a sound quality

They offer a sound quality upgrade but why shouldn't it all be high quality? Sirius is living in the past. The GD channel is the bomb but the Sirius/XM tech is out of date, think Pandora has it on them. Sucks I am a lifetime Sirius subscriber. No wiggle room when it comes to the poor quality of their product. 24/7 GD music is nice but thats all I like about Sirius. Just my opinion. And thats nothing to shake a stick at

Background Music During Today in Grateful Dead History Intro...

I am wondering if anyone knows what the song/date is for the music played in the background while Dave is doing his intro on today in grateful dead history on SiriusXM. I don't mean the late 60s Dark Star but the music that sounds like a supercharged Fire on the Mountain jam but with early 70s guitar tone/phrasing. I actually emailed DL about this but the music is added by SiriusXM people and he doesn't listen to the show. Anybody know what I am talking about??? It's driving me crazy so somebody please help me out! :)

Today at 2 Pacific on Tales from the Golden Road

So Many Roads Conference Co-organizers Nicholas Meriwether and Michael Parrish will be talking about the conference today at 2PM PDT on Sirius XM's Grateful Dead channel on the channel's talk show, Tales from the Golden Road, which is co-hosted by Gary Lambert and David Gans.

9/7/73 Nassau

Interesting organ playing from Keith from the Nassau Coliseum on 9/7/73 during the Truckin' jam going into drums. I'd never heard this before! Tune in today during the GD History segment at 6 pm central, or anytime if you have an internet log-in subscription.

Inadvisable edit on Sirius

A few months ago, I was listening to Alligator being played on Sirius XM. About halfway through it, another song started playing, abruptly ending Alligator. It was jarring and certainly not what we expect from a radio station that pretends to understand its listeners. I went to the Sirius website and complained but never received a reply. I don’t know whether anyone else has noticed any bad edits from Sirius, but if you do, I encourage you to give ‘em feedback.

TIGDH. 2/26/81

Never heard this before, nice first set, with a breezy easy feel. Mean Jerry slide on Litle Red Rooster, sweet Bird Song.

Today on TALES

Today on "Tales from the Golden Road" we're interviewing Peter Conners, author of Growing Up Dead: The Hallucinated Confessions of a Teenage Deadhead. I like this book a lot. The title is more sensationalistic than the tale itself. 4-6pm eastern on Sirius 32/XM 57. Gans/GD Hour blog

Sat. Nite

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 !

great job Sirius dudes

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.

Tipper Gore interview...

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!

satellite dreams

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!
