Hi Professor,

I think the link to the 01-18-08 podcast is broken--maybe a misprint of 01-18 as 01-16 is the culprit. The result of clicking on it is transport to an error code statement. I hope you can fix it--I always enjoy your fine music offerings.

Professor-

You know... this is one of those shows that is so bittersweet. What a gift we were given by being able to have the Grateful Dead in our lives, and what terrible thing to have to lose.

This show is so remarkable. You had mentioned that Jack Straw was the standout,but I think is the Tennessee Jed... normally Tennessee Jed is sort of a second or even third tier song for me... but here it is performed so well that it, like so many of the shows you offer, made me look at the Dead from yet another (how is another even possible) angle...

Thank you SO much... would you consider running this whole series of "From Egypt with Love" shows?

From Vermont,
James

I just want to say, I've really enjoyed the recent Jerry solo material. Any chance of a Godchaux-era Garcia Band show? I'd love to hear something highlighting Jerry/Keith interplay outside the Grateful Dead.

the professor said...

Larry - yes you can download the shows and listen to them - on the computer (depending on whether you are on a Mac or PC) right click and choose save link as.. (that's how it works for Firefox on the PC)
The show is on itunes - if you go to podcasts then do a search on Grateful Dead you'll find it easy enough and can subscribe there..

thanks!

A very good set all the way around, I particularly enjoyed the Stagger Lee, a song that continues to grow on me.

I gotta say that I thought Donna's new song was VERY good In fact, I don't think she's ever sounded better! Good for her!
