    GD is so underrated
    Good point Far-L. Apart from Touch of Grey Buzz in the late 80s, GD has never been really recognized by main stream society. That might be kind of the point, or just how us Deadheads and the Band want it. But as years go by, I can see GD being recognized more and more for being ahead of their time and being major contributors to all sorts of things, both musically, socially, and more. That would be interesting to see GD stuff on Idol. I'm sure they would Cheese the sh#t out of it, but hell, it could be amusing!

    Grateful Dead on The Voice and American Idol
    I know it sounds crazy but I think the time has come for the bastions of American Pop Culture, the tv shows #AmericanIdol and #TheVoice to celebrate the songwriting and lyrical genius of The Grateful Dead. I created a facebook page DeadIdolVoices to start gathering a petition of "Likes" to see if the producers of those shows will take note. Please feel free to hit the page and show your support! I mean seriously... if Justin Timberlake is wearing a "Stealie" and Taylor Swift is praising Bob Weir as an inspiration then why the heck not? Seems like a good way to add to the fun of celebrating 50 years and the amazing influence the Grateful Dead has had on music.

    go to Dead50.net and follow the directions there. Mail order is over; online presale is coming up in Feb: Tickets will be offered through Grateful Dead Ticketing mail order and a public on sale via Ticketmaster. Wow! We re excited (and humbled) to discover that your enthusiasm for Fare Thee Well matches our own! We have received an overwhelming number of mail order ticket requests. In an effort to honor the history and spirit of the Grateful Dead, we are going to try to fill as many of these orders as possible. This means there will be no other pre-sales. In order to give the good folks at GDTS TOO time to sort through the 60,000+ (!) envelopes received so far the new public on sale is Feb 28th @ 10 a.m. CST via Ticketmaster. Public on sale is Feb 28th @ 10 a.m. CST via Ticketmaster.

    It could be from Bobby's solo project, titled: "Ace". Maybe you're searching for the Dead when it is really a solo by Bobby. Just a guess.

    In a Flatbush Zombies rap music video they've got many Dead memorabilia, such as the skeleton with a headband of roses, and Zombie Juice is usually wearing Dead t shirts. It's like his beard is a tribute to Jerry

    Featured a joke along the lines, The Griffin family makes Stewie stand out and shine like The Grateful Dead did for Bob Weir... Controversy!! I ain't often right, but I never been wrong.

    Acoustic Dead release
    I assume you may be referring to this rare show from the Family Dog at the Great Highway billed as Mickey Hart and His Heartbeats and Bobby Ace: http://www.dead.net/store/1970s/family-dog-great-highway-san-francisco-… It was originally released on vinyl as part of last year's Black Friday Record Store Day.

For I don't no how long, I've always looked forward to seeing the Dead Movie on VH1 or other channels through Comcast/Xfinity. It's almost a year since it appeared in my weekly favorite searches. Does anyone know anything about this?

It's a shame to see history being changed because of a few songs that may have a gun fight, dating 14 year olds, and other lyrics that may be offensive to some.

Hello all, I'm from Europe and not really a Grateful Dead fan, I listen to a lot of music from the 60's and 70's though. After visiting an American music forum I noticed that a lot of Deadheads were Trump supporters and this confused me. How is this possible? The band as I understand stood against everything this band represented. Would you say that Grateful Dead has always been a band which followers are mainly Republican as crazy as it sounds?

Anyone catch Ari Melber interview Weir today? It was a fast interview, but enjoyable. Looks like they had to edit it down to fit on TV but it was nice with some substance. Cool! Have a Grateful Day! :-)

P.S. The interview just happened so it hasn't been uploaded yet, but when it is it would probably show up here:

Here is a weird encounter. My family has a summer house in Bryant Pond, ME, Two properties down there is a studio that Tucker Carlson (yeah, that guy) broadcasts from. My brother and I were taking a walk and we saw ol' Tucker working on his vintage pick-up. As a good neighbor I introduced myself, and we had an interesting (non=political) talk - in his studio was a picture of his circa early 90's with Jerry Garcia. The dude had been to over 50 concerts! Who knew??

Does not Ann Coulter get into Dead, too? Someone should tell them Sen. Al (Kissinger on Dead Ahead) Franken gets into the band quite a bit. Hey repo, check out his bona fides on his knowledge of jams...

During the NFC Championship game just now, when they went to a tv break the music they played during the transition was Estimated Prophet. I saw another game recently where they played Saint Of Circumstance. Those are pretty deep cuts for the NFL.

Has anyone heard anything about Grateful Dead Meet up at the Movies for 2022? Before the pandemic, movie theaters would show a Dead concert on Jerrry Garcia's birthday.

Season 6 of Billions - someone producing that show knows their Dead
Besides the reference to Steve Parish in episode 8 or 9 the Deal to close out the season with Jerry on Slide is out of this world. If someone could point me to the show where they got that from I am going to say late 70s early 80s I would be GRATEFUL!!

The producers for fox sports who do the effects are big time Jam band fans. You will hear a lot of Phish, Dead, Panic ,Moe as they cut into commercials. If you google it there are some interesting articles and the producers even have some pics with members of the band.

Hey fam,

one of my favorite podcasts, Midnight, On Earth w/ Jake Weaver, had Wendy Weir as a guest on this week and it is shockingly amazing. It goes so deep into to spiritual aspects of the GD experience, and really adds a lot of powerful information to the whole thing.

Literally everyone who is a GD or Jerry fan should check out this episode.. OMG!

Midnight, On Earth w/ Jake Weaver

Episode 108 - Channeling Jerry Garcia & The Metaphysical Grateful Dead w/ Wendy Weir

Its on all the streaming platforms, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.. and the show's website

This is MUST LISTEN episode for all GD fam... no joke.. there are some things that have never ever been discussed before about Jerry and Bob.

I actually really love this podcast. there is no other like it out there, the guests are amazing. the host asks the best questions, and its always compelling. The host is also a big deadhead, so in the midst of the big topics they cover Jerry usually pops up from time to time. CHECK IT OUT!
