    More Dead Less Ratdog
    David, I love and appreciate all you do and have done for us over the years. If you recall, I came to your defense when some criticized you regarding the decision to remove the sdb's last year. I love your blog and your respect for and appreciation of the Dead's music and the entire scene. I look forward to and support with donations the GD Hour on Friday nights here in NYC on Fordham's radio station. However, I have one gripe. It is the Grateful Dead Hour, not the Ratdog Hour. I do not know if I am the only one who feels this way, but I want to hear predominately (I agree not exclusively, I enjoy the occassional other music you provide) Grateful Dead music. While I recognize Bobby is doing great things with Ratdog, I tune in for the Grateful Dead. If I want to hear Ratdog I can go see them. Thanks for listening and I miss Jerry.

    Hope to see ya at the Ledges David!
    David, good to see you are one of the first posters here on this 'new' site. Hoping to see you at the Ledges this year, I always enjoy your sets (although I cringe when you rap about your politics, you should leave that offstage IMO). I'd love to see you as the official MC at the Ledges, course that would be a 4 day commitment! Thanks for all you do to keep the music alive, I hear you here in Baltimore on WTMD commercial free! Anyway c-ya at the Ledges. I love DSO but I'm coming for You, Cornmeal and Boombox!! LOL PEACE!!

    Special Thanks to David Gans re: GD Hour Aug 1995
    DavidI still have the analog tape of the GD Hour you did right after Jerry died. It opened with Jerry singing, "Louis Collins" and we were all in tears. It had been about a week and a half from the death to the GD Hour Broadcast. That song and version remain marked in my mind for all eternity. You gave a great small mini eulogy that I will never forget. The rest of the mix was pretty moving as well (Death from Shoreline, Attics from 74 rehersal) Anywho, thanks for all you have done, and all you do, with your talents and initatives, to make sure, the Music Never Stops. Cheers! JG “The Omnipotent Grateful Dead!” - unknown

    Hey there Dave. I was just listening to an old GD hour show where you talked with Ken Nordine about the New Years show 1990. Sounded like a great time, bungie jumpers and all! What a cool interview. He seems like an interesting guy!Anyway, I saw your show at the Vibes in 2005 and enjoyed it so much a bought a copy there that weekend. Is there any place I can get the setlist for that show? Some of the songs are foriegn to me. Rock on! -Hunter "The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean."

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...
