This week we get to listen to the remainder of the incredible 2nd set from Red Rocks on 7/8/78.. This set is highlighted by a incendiary Estimated Prophet, a near-perfect Wharf Rat and in an very rare triple-encore, perhaps the best version ever of Warren Zevon's Warewolves of London.. I'm certain you'll enjoy this one and I hope it starts off your 4th of July celebrations on just the right note!

While this is a well-known recording the top-notch quality of the performance persuaded me that you'll enjoy listening...

This week we have a wonderful show from the Summer of 1988, PLUS a chance for you to win a great book!
First off, we're going to hear the first set from 7/31/88, Laguna Seca. This set features David Hildago of Los Lobos sitting in on Little Red Rooster and a very hot West LA Fadeaway, then a rare 'Gentlemen Start Your Engines'.. Next week I'll bring you the second set..

Date 7/31/88 - Sunday
One Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleloo ; Little Red Rooster [1] ; West L.A. Fadeaway [1] ; Me And My Uncle > Big River ; Ramble On Rose ; Gentlemen Start Your Engines ; When I Paint My Masterpiece ; Bird Song

But that's not all! I've been fortunate enough to receive 10 copies of the wonderful book by David Dodd: The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics.
Not only does this 500+ page book contain the lyrics of all of the original GD compositions (and many of the covers), but it also contains a huge wealth of background information on the sources and meaning of the characters and references in the songs. Its a hugely fun read, and all you have to do to have a chance to win your copy is to send me an email at: j.henrikson@gmail.com
I'll pick the winners at random next week!

Special Deadpod interview - Lee Johnson
Hello Friends!
An extra deadpod this week - this is an interview that I had with Lee Johnson, Conductor and composer of Dead Symphony #6.
Mr. Johnson talks about the process of bringing the Grateful Dead into the classical world and about why he thought their work merited being made into a symphony. I've provided several musical samples of the work as well, so you can hear just what a great job he did on this project.
Dead Symphony #6 is available at http://deadsymphony.com

Dead Show/podcast for 06/01/07
This week's Deadpod features a wonderful show from May of 1970.. While recordings from this great year of performances are much too rare we have the good fortune of listening to both the first acoustic set and part of the third, electric set. I just love listening to this primal, energetic, engaging Dead.. I hope you do as well..
