    Show #1000
    I'm still working on the plan for #1000. Program #999 will be a sampling of CD projects I've had the privilege of working on - GD and Garcia boxed sets, the Persuasions' GD album, etc. Program #1000 will include a wonderful interview with Mickey Hart, talking about the early days of GD music. Not sure what else yet. GD Hour blog Station list

    KGNU Boulder/Denver Sponsors Deadhead Party in Denver
    From Tie Dyes to Ties and Back: A Denver Grateful Dead Party for KGNU's $1390 for 1390 campaign! Hi all, I'm a Denver Deadhead who wears a tie to work but still has tie dyes in my closet... I'm also a Board member on KGNU. We host the Grateful Dead hour each Saturday at 7:00 pm (hear us anywhere at www.kgnu.org, 88.5FM Boulder, 1390 AM Denver). Our recent expansion into Denver inspires this party! And by the way, we'll have a six-hour Dead special during our membership drive Saturday evening, October 20. So come to my party to meet local Deadheads, learn about KGNU and the Dead, enjoy some microbrews, finger foods and a special brew from Amsterdam. I'll even cut off your tie if you'd like. My whole family room will have rare Dead artwork on the walls. Bring your favorite noncommercial Dead concert recordings so we can put together a collection of 20 Dead CDs for anyone who pledges their support for the $1390 for 1390 campaign (that's $58/month over two years). Bring a towel for a dip in our 8-person hot tub after dusk. Thursday, October 25 56:30-8:30 pm in southwest Denver. Phone 303-895-5937 or email deadhead@kgnu.org to reserve your space and for directions. "If your cup is full, may it be again." --Jerry

    Twilight Zone or What??
    Thanks for your quick reply David ... I'm actually stunned by the sense of entitlement and all of the negativity ... the "All or Nothing" attitudes that have surfaced on the tapers section posts. It is interesting that some of the most venemous postings are from people stating that this goes against everything that this community stands for ... well, so do the assumptions, ultimatums and personal attacks that comprise these posts. It has been encouraging to also see some cooler heads prevail (such as yours). I guess it's natural to "assume" cause and effect, when a change w/no explanation occurs. ... I couldn't help but think of an old Twilight Zone episode ... life imitates art and vice versa! Oh My God!! I only have a closet full of GD CDs and Cassettes !!! ... I guess I'll continue to listen to 'em while I await another official release to purchase!!! Thanks again.

    ~ David ... Keep it up and keep it spinning, Dave. You and I are quite aware that longevity, necessitates that patience becomes a second natured virtue. I'm glad I have all the wacky tunege one man needs on them 10 inchers that I can throw on the ol' 3340S there over my left shoulder when things get goofy in the ionosphere, or the new fangled fobs and knobs of today hit the rough patches in Glitch Road. And in closing: I know you don't need to hear this, but much appreciation for this... here. My hideout in the reeds of the all-encompassing pond of ether. ________________________________ Not another Silly Bunny . . .

    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. - DG GD Hour blog Station list

    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!

Years ago my local radio station skipped over the GDhour show, which featured 5-17-77 end of first set. A top High Time in my opinion. I had recorded the other portions and was looking forward to that show because of the Sunrise and High Time. I missed out, but emailed him and he replied & eventually I got a copy of that program in the mail. Kind of funny, this is the first time I used this forum to post a comment and when I was checking my GDRadio app on my itouch, guess what show is playing right now 5-17-17 thanks again. You provided many enjoyable Sunday nights in Columbus, Ohio for me.

I've been hosting a weekly GD two-hour radio show for over ten years, and I'd like to share the set lists here, but I see that the forum has been locked. Why is that?

Ever a thought of doing a boxset of key/significant GD radio hours...i.e. band member interview episodes...
