As reported earlier, the anual KPFA GD marathon is scheduled for Saturday, January 28, 9 am to 1 am PST.
We’ll have a live performance from the Papermill Creek Rounders (David Nelson, Banana, and friends) in the afternoon. Bob Weir and Ratdog had to postpone their live performance due to an injury to keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.
I’ve got some uncirculated GD concerts to play in their entirety, and a lot of very special treats that I’m sure you’ve never heard before. Here are some clues:
The event will be webcast via nugs.net, kpfa.org, and kfcf.org
Marc Evans will moderate a chat room, as he has for the last several years, and I will post on this blog as the day progresses.
We’re still in the process of lining up thank-you gifts for contributors. We’re expecting a nice array of CDs, books, t-shirts, and who knows what else. I have a copy of the 10-CD Fillmore West 1969 boxed set that we’ll be auctioning – not sure yet how that’ll work. I might set it up on eBay with a closing date of January 28.
Hi David.
I have one of those bookplates, designed by Jim Carpent, printed by Peter Koch Printers of Berkeley, and signed by Hunter, Barlow, Carpenter, and myself, which I would be glad to donate as a fundraising item to the marathon. They sold out pretty much instantly (included with the first 710 copies of The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics purchased through gdstore.com), and the one I have is an artist’s proof. Interested? Let me know!
–David D.
That’s great, David! Yes, please! I will email you about that.
We are also hoping to offer The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead lyrics as a premium.
