Dead Show/podcast for 04/14/06

It has been an exciting week in Grateful Dead trading circles with the release of the long-lost Dark Star from April 17th, 1972. Long sought after, this was the last of the uncirculated Dark Stars from that stellar year. Naturally I decided to bring it to you in this podcast - but be sure and listen to the excellent Caution that follows - it really smokes!
