This week we get to listen to the remainder of the incredible 2nd set from Red Rocks on 7/8/78..

I'm certain you'll enjoy this one and I hope it starts off your 4th of July celebrations on just the right note!

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 05/04/07

Thirty years ago, at the beginning of May 1977, the Dead played a remarkable number of exceptional concerts. In honor of the thirtieth anniversary of this unmatched period in Grateful Dead history I decided to bring you one of, if not the most famous concert of May, 1977. The Dead's performance on May 8th, 1977 is widely regarded as one of the best of this series of shows. While I often prefer to bring you less well-known shows, there's also nothing wrong with listening to one of these truly classic shows on occasion. I hope you enjoy it..

One other note, KOPN 89.5 FM is holding a spring fund raising drive to try and raise funds to cover our operating expenses. If you'd consider making a contribution by clicking on the paypal "contribute now" button on the right hand side of the blog I'd really appreciate it!

Here's a real treat from 1969.. this show starts with a great acoustic set, occasioned, says Jerry, because Billy has been delayed on his way there.. this week I'm bringing you both the acoustic and electric set (I've had to remove a couple of songs who were just cut too badly to broadcast). While there are several unfortunate cuts, I'm sure you're going to enjoy this beautiful and sometimes raucous, performance.

Bumperstickers are IN! - KOPN Fund Drive

At long last, and due to the efforts of several of my loyal and talented listeners, I have brand new Deadpod bumperstickers!
I'd be more than happy to send one of these out to anyone who either makes a contribution to the Deadpod and KOPN, or if you've done that recently, to anyone who sends me a SASE.. Details below..

I could NOT decide between the two versions.. let me know which one you want when you request yours!!!

KOPN 89.5 FM is also conducting a "Keep It Quiet" Fundraising Drive.. if the station raises its goal of $30,000 by May 6th, they will CANCEL the fundraising drive.. So your contributions now will help us to substantially shorten the fundraising time! And you can get a sticker too :)


If you're making a contribution using the 'contribute now' button, just drop me an email telling me if you want the 'stealie' version or the 'be grateful' version.. same thing if you're sending me a business sized self-addressed stamped envelope. If you're sending me an envelope, I'd love it if you could send along a couple bucks to cover the cost of the sticker..


If you're sending the envelope, address it to:
John Henrikson
1605 Skylane Dr.
Columbia MO 65202-1712

be sure you have a self addressed, stamped envelope inside with that $2. :)

I hope you enjoy these, I think they came out really really well!!!

all the best,
the professor

Help me design a deadpod bumper sticker!

Friends, over time I've had different people ask if I had a bumpersticker or t-shirt to promote the deadpod... I think it might be time to try and make one! but I need your help.. I'm asking you to contribute your ideas/drawings/designs for a deadpod bumpersticker/logo to be used to promote the show..

Please email me your ideas/drawings/suggestions.. I'll be happy to send a copy of the new GD Cow Palace CD to whoever suggests the winning design..

In the "open source" spirit of the music and the deadpod, your submissions will not be copywritten, nor will I do so (you might check out the creative commons for an example of a less restrictive license that allows me to use your work on our bumperstickers)..

I know there are some very creative folks who listen to the show, and I hope that some of you might be moved to help me create a wonderful new bumpersticker or other promotional materials for the show..

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks SO much for your support!

Dead Show/podcast for 05/12/06

I've been wanting to play something from the month of May, as there have been so many great moments in GD history, but rather than play something from the obvious choice, 1977, I decided on this tight, well-played gem from 1987.. its from the night the Dead recorded the "Touch of Gray" video, and I think you'll enjoy it..

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!

Dead Show/podcast for 11/18/05

This week, I thought I'd bring you some Grateful Dead music from an era not widely represented in most collections, due to the lack of really good recordings. Most of the shows in 1980-81 were recorded on cassette tape only, and this show was too, but despite the hiss I think you'll agree its worth savoring for the energy and quality of the performance. Enjoy!

Sorry friends, but the old professor has been mighty sick all week and didn't do the show last night. Thanks to Mike Hagan for filling in on the air.
Consequently there won't be a podcast this week. I hope you'll check back next week, and I hope I'm doing better by then..
take care..
