Grateful Dead

I see they are doing a series of concerts playing acoustic GD music. Should be interesting but I’m some thousands of miles away. I’ve put the dates in my icon. Who knows if it’s legible.
EDIT: No they’re not legible. I’m sure an internet search will find them.

Check out Kawaika Bowman’s new track called Grateful for Bobby !! It’s on Spotify and amazing!!

Enjoying this, brother! Thanks for sharing (10 years ago, LOL)

Thanks for the heads-up! Always great to hear about solid Dead tribute bands, especially ones playing outside the usual U.S. circuit. I’ll check out the Hebden Bridge show on Bandcamp sounds like a fun set. Appreciate the recommendation!

This album is 100% instrumental and conjures up images of those long '69 through '72 Dark Star jams. They use a combination of twangy guitars and pedal steel to create an incredible spacy soundscape. w cubed dot twangrila dot com travelling-through-time-and-space-with-the-barry-walker-unit-at-the-13th-moon-gravity-well

They have 11 shows on the archive,,,, I'll bite.

Will download shortly.

UPDATE - Downloaded shows, nice. Best part, GREAT soundboards,,,, no audience!

I hope this is the right place for this, but I have not posted anything here for a very long time. For us deadheads in the UK (and elsewhere naturally) I would recommend the Grateful Dudes. Their latest show at Hebden Bridge is available on Bandcamp and it’s a cracker! They are always on the lookout for new venues too. The October edition of International Times has a great article on them and various links.

When they push the jamming on the live stuff it has that same burning, big bang propulsion that only Hawkwind seems to know how to play, the fact they do it with acoustic instruments is even more impressive. It is definitely string band/bluegrass, music, but it sits on the edge of time. Greensky Bluegrass can do it sometimes, especially on courage for the road, but most jamgrass bands seem like singer/songwriters cloaked in banjos and weed. Strings and his band are true cosmic champions.
