Inspirationally touching is how I would describe how it feels for me to listen to your show. I am still buying cassettes to record the Dead Hour onto (I only have a tape player in my car.)
You always seem to play real gems that spark an attentive ear. I appreciate your wide range of "Grateful Dead related Music." I find myself repeatedly enjoying new music you introduced into my life. Thanks for all you time and energy.
Interviews are also interesting, very whole for such a short show.
I am grateful to listen from the Lou on KDHX 88.1 Saturdays at 10 pm Central. And then anytime I want, if I was home to record...............
Thank you David!

I saw my first show in Phoenix 3-5-94 (age 15), and was totally hooked- If that wasn't enough, I taped the next Dead hour which happened to be the Playin'>Uncle John's>Jam from Oakland 12-18-93... To this day one of the finest pieces of music I've ever heard, Dead or otherwise. I think I taped nearly every Dead hour for the next five years. I still have all those tapes.
Thank you David, I can't even begin to describe how much your show meant to me!

Old GD Hour podcast on DeadNet
On July 11th, 2007 dgans said:
The beautiful new DeadNet today introduces a new weekly feature: podcasts from the Grateful Dead Hour archive.
Analise Dubner created a beautiful image for the landing page.
First up is program #793, the first of a four-part series featuring an interview with Steve Parish on the occasion of the publication of his memoir, Home Before Daylight.
There will be a place for comments and requests - I'll be very happy to get input on which programs from GD Hour history you'd like to hear. You can search the GD Hour log archive here and/or here.
I heard last night that XM

I heard last night that XM won't be carrying the Grateful Dead Hour anymore......taking it away from XM was a boneheaded move imho. Whoever made the decision to move it needs to rethink that idiotic decision imho.
Sorry about that.

Taking the GD Hour off XM was part of the deal Rhino made with Sirius. I had no say in the matter.
I'm sorry to have abandoned you over there, but it appears the two satellite services will merge before too long and then we'll all be together in the stratosphere.
Download or Stream? Not so merrily ...!!

Hello David,
I can't thank you enough for all the deadication you've shown these past decades with the GD Hour and books and music ...
I'm a fan!!
So, what's up with the GD Hour podcast? Is it now a thing of the past after it barely got started? I was so happy that I could finally(?) give up all of the cassettes that have piled up over the years in place of these digital files. There are some pretty ugly things being written over on the taper's section ... And there has been no clear answer as to whether or not this is a policy change with the site or simply a technical glitch due to the new streaming software.
Do you have any answers? Any light you can shed on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Either way, keep up the great work!
We'll know more soon

I'm in New Jersey mixing a CD this week, and I found out about this change Monday morning, the same time everyone else did. I don't have a lot of information at the moment, and it's not my place to make a public statement about it in any case, but I can assure you it's a good deal more complicated than it might appear.
I've been working with these people at Rhino and the new DeadNet for several months, and I believe they have great respect for the music and the community. It hurts me to read the violent and venomous posts I've seen from some people in these pages, although I can understand why folks are upset. I agree that it's a bummer the change was made abruptly and without explanation, but I trust that there is a reasonable explanation and we'll hear it soon.
