“Feel So Bad” is a Little Milton song. I remember hearing it in the late ’60s on KMPX – not sure if that was Milton’s version, but it was a good one. “Feel so bad, like a ballgame on a rainy day.” According to Jeff Courouleau in the chat room, Elvis Presley covered it on his “Something for Everyone” album. And Tim Bogert said after the song that his old band Cactus used to do it, too. And: Freebo’s tuba solo on “I Found Love” – what a treat!

wow that was too much!
shakedown, women…hmmmm is this a not-so-covert pitch for the new Pittsburgh download series?
sly….
thanks god for this today! get me through my workday!
::dancing at desk::
\m/(-_-)\m/
wow that iko opener was TIZ iiiiitee, how bout some live sage and spirit some althea maybe how bout a 45min liberty into box of rain lol KEPPP IT UPPPP we’re all listening and supporting
Hi from England David! That Comes a Time was beautiful!
let’s hear that Shakedown one more time!
that blew me mind.
I was listening to some of that Seattle 7/21-22/72 stuff just the other day. Some bad cuts in a playing and china cat-rider. One of the days was missing the truckin > jam section; but these were complete on the other date. Definitely enough good stuff for a Download of high-lites from Seattle.
how bout some lovelight and caution, lets get some pig in there from euro 72, and these tribal drums are insane,i really want a thats it for the other one from 68 or 69 so lets get it spinning, contribution will be sent later when i find my credit card
going to have to say an epic, Lady with a fan—>Terrapin Station
i feel the terrapin, maybe some lost/circumstance, i saw ratdog absolutely dominate all three in columbus and cleveland this past year
I will be able to satisfy that Terrapin craving, and some Pig from 1972, and some 1969, and some stuff you have never heard before.
“some stuff you have never heard before”
I accept that challenge with a big smile!
keep it up, thanks for everything!
much love and peace,
Dan
i love you david gans from the dead heads of columbus ohio, you are what keeps our weeks alive in this town, but phil never comes through, and that needs to change, lets see a dead summer tour this year and more awesome coverage from dead hour every sunday
how bout a long dreamy Eyes from the 90’s with Jerry going off on with the flute MIDI effect..that would make my day…
I’m not sure if I have one of those, Yogi, but I’ll poke around the big box.
I have some complete shows, and lots of interesting little pieces of things. Studio and live, solo and band.
Don’t forget the Fillmore West ’69 auction – closes at around 11 am pst.
we are all EARS! Thanks so much D.
im bummed that the dog isnt going to play live here on the show, but a day of the dead is a day of bliss, plus im seeing the dog in new york and philly, but bobby should come back to columbus
I’ll rag on ’em about Columbus! Not that they ever do what I say.
We’re working on a makeup date for Ratdog live in the KPFA studio.
any words of advice concerning dark star orchestra, they are playing in town tonight, thinking about going
advice for DSO, have a good time.
I like DSO a lot. They do a VERY good job of evoking Grateful Dead concerts. They work hard at it, and they’re nive folks to boot.
MMM! Pigpen! MMMMMM! ’72!
i expect i will, these drums are wild, never heard them before
this really is a trip, ive been listening to dead hour for the past few months since i came across it one night with a great estimated. ive been turning on friends ever since, and this is just everything i have wanted on the shows
Excellent, daddygreenjeanz – it’s so cool that you found the show by chance!
That Olantunji stuff is amazing! Thanks, David Gans. You rock!
WAAAAAAAAAA FALLLLLLLLINGGGGGG DOWWWWWNNNNNN DRUMS SO COOL they sound sour
hmmm how bout in the midnight hour?
David – That Augusta , ME show in the fall of ’84 was one for the record books, specifically the 2nd night, where The Morning Dew shook the very ground I was standing on.
Don’t know if you’re taking requests, but if you are, that’s the one.
Now, I really have to go back to work.
Scotty Greene
“Don’t forget the Fillmore West ‘69 auction – closes at around 11 am pst.”
A must have, if you don’t already. I ordered mine in late July and it came in mid-november. Several people were selling them on ebay for $400+ by Dec. 1st. The price isn’t likely to go down soon either. Maybe never.
We opened the box, just to make sure that everything was there and put it away. I use the 1/2 track SBDs for every day listening…
Alleeee , from France,storm and rain over the Mediteranean… What a great night it’s gonna be…7 pm over here…
cousinkix, you are doing yourself a grave disservice by listening to the soundboard tapes instead of Jeffrey Norman’s beautiful mixes.
WOW we just checked archive.org and wow havent seen this one before good choice!
Thanks to Jim Wise for providing this recording.
hi david, big fan of your show, can you tell me where i could get this morning’s studio version of man smart / woman smarter … many thanks
transition into big river was the best ever, it fell right into place.
Allwooba, It’s not available anywhere except here!
big river .. ohmigod. love it !!!!!
Yeah, that was a nice transition into Big River.
Love Big River. Nice call!
roor this is so amazing
“cousinkix, you are doing yourself a grave disservice by listening to the soundboard tapes instead of Jeffrey Norman’s beautiful mixes.”
Maybe you’re right! Perhaps I’ll dig them out for a listening party; but just for me only, it isn’t really necessary.
An audience recording is all that exists on other websites. This 1-30-78 SBD is new…
Oh YEAH!
Thanks, was hoping to get one of these.
i just made my contribution david, hope it helps move things forward shout outs from derf sanderson
Dave, was wondering if you could shed some light. Any word on DP 37 or a new Pure Jerry release? By the way, this show rocks!!!
David -look at the whole Augusta show from ’84 – there’s got to be room in your set for some of it -truly mesmorizing.
Donna sounds so sweet on this Jack Straw –
ya id love to hear some news on DP 37
No news on DP37, and I asked this week. The February download will be 7/21/72.
No idea what’s up w/ the Garcia estate.
greenjah, I don’t have that show with me. I put together a pretty nice collection of music, but I can’t do it all. You understand.
I am stuck at work on a Saturday with almost nothing to do. I already had Nugs.net playing when this marathon came on. Awesome surprise! Work does not seem so terrible now. Alone in the office with the music filling the air. Fantastic show, Thank you!
Thank you for joining us, kstrom!
Looks like rain, and it’s still pouring outside… Thank you California…
just a grey boring ohio day here
good thing ive got the marathon
Of course, David, just trying to pull a needle out of a haystack. So far, so good!!!!
I’ll be able to concentrate a lot better once I’m home -thanks for doing this, as the songs bring back so many great memories.
Scotty Greene
nice outside today in Delaware
This song almost brings a tear to my eye everytime.
Where having a little heat wave here in D.C. Great version of Peggy O.
Loved the shout out, David – keep the fire burning!!!
grey and dreary in berkeley too – weather wise!
but the sun is shining on the radio!!! THANKS DAVID
you got my name right david, good job
Hey, it’s better for the marathon when the weather sucks!
David, do you know if Ratdog or Phil & Friends have plans to play in Europe this year? It’s been a while since Ratdog were here, and we are pining for some Dead! You would also be assured of a great welcome if you played England, sir!
Nice and sunny here in Huntington but we’re still listening. Sorry I couldn’t make it David but I’d say you are doing just fine without me.
I’m not in the loop regarding those guys’ future plans, so I don’t know anything about any Europe tour possibilties. I hope they do!
France is waiting too… Supplication…
I’ve got another rare Mydland SBD from 4-16-88 Pasadena City College. This SEVA Benifit has some of the same songs on it.
Also a Weir solo audience tape with “stones” etc. on it too. Crosby and Nash did a fresh version of “night time of the generals” just out in time for the Iran-Contra affair…
Wow, I’ve never heard Brent singing and playing piano solo before. I thought it was Bruce before he started singing. This is very nice stuff! 🙂
Mitch Ryder! – this Brent set is really nice!
David, do you know if Phil & Friends, SCI, RRE, Donna, and other jambands have plans to play in the Los Angeles and or San Diego area this year? It’s been a while since any major jambands were here (execpt for Yonder, Ratdog, and DSO). Los Angeles is a pretty big place. its not that far from the bay area. I am starting to think that we’re on a Boycott list,
Donna the Buffalo played in San Francisco last night and headed east today. I was hoping to get them to play live on the marathon, but they had to hit the road. So I guess they won’t be hitting SD this time.
RRE just played the west coast last week.
I know nothing about the other bands’ plans.
Los Angeles & San Diego is a part of the West Coast, and I saw nothing about this on the Donna’s Tour schedule.
David–
Thanks for the kind tunes on a grey day here in the Bay…calling in a pledge in a few. Such a nice treat to hear Brent solo. My daughter is sitting on my lap listening to this Take you Home….sometimes the best moments come up and catch you when you’re least expecting them…
Everyone have a wonderful day…and to that poster who was asking about DSO…make sure you go tonight. You’ll LOVE it!
Thank you, jollymon!
This solo Brent is amazing, where can I get a recording of something like this? Hey Jude>Mr. Fantasy>Hey Jude, wow! Thanks so much for this day.
DSO was GREAT last Friday night in Chicago….4 1/2 hours! They did 3/28/73, including the pre-US Blues ‘Wave that Flag’…with all the old verses. They pay incredible attention to the details.
What’s the pledge number again? Thanks!
what do you guys eat during a 16 hour marathon?
if i was there I’d whip you up a banana-strawberry-flax-hempseed-organic rice milk smoothie and send you’all off humming…
p.s. any transcendental BirdSongs on tap?
Definitly need to find some of this live Brent Mydland, been my favorite members of GD for many years. Anyone have some that I can get from ya, I can send disks and postage
Pledge numbers are 510-848-5732 and 1-800-439-5732, or pledge online at http://www.kpfa.org/pledge
i ate bacon, eggs and hash browns while listerning to the marathon
What do we eat? I have a nice package of nori that I brought in, and some Kashi bars. In the phone room there is a nice plate of raw veggies w/ baba ganoush etc. brought in by Sandy Sonnenfelt, and we also have some vegan raw food from Lydia’s Lovin’ Foods.
I have a whole CD full of great Bird Songs. At least one will be played today.
DSO does epic 1973 shows, they do great speeded up verision of TLEO. it’s all fun
good week in chicago, DSO, derek trucks, moe., disco biscuits, tea leaf green, stw9, I love this city.
There are a few solo Brent tracks available here:
http://gdlive.com/xtras/Brentsolo/
thanks fydo
Hey David how about a playing an absolutly sick Crazy Fingers, I know you have a few.
We have to eat light at our age. (Me and clearlight, that is.)
Keller and the Keels are amazing together. They played not too far from where I live last night, sold out before I could get tickets though.
I never even knew they were working together. I’ve been a fan of Larry and Jenny for years, since running into them at MagnoliaFest. And of course, Keller is a fellow looper.
1975 was an amazing year…I know David has in the past played rehearsals at Ace’s studio from that year. Can we expect any unheard rehearsal stuff this year?
Sam
A whole CD full of great Bird Songs, now that i could get behind, that’s one of my favs
I don’t know much about the keels, but there is a bunch of sbds on live music archives website
I think Keller first played with them at last year’s Haymaker Festival. That show is a must-have for a fan of either. Loser (Beck version)>Loser(Dead version), DUpree’s, Another Brick.
8/12/72 Sacramento Memorial Aud. can be track one, pookie.
jollymon – “i will take you home’ brings a tear to my eyes every time I listen to it , which is not very often due to it’s painful reminder.
What a beautiful, song -magical.
yeah Birdsong – gotta dig it. just listened to 9.18.87, 4.1.91, and the nassau 90….
makes you just want to lift off…
Huckfather, that sounds like an amazing week of music in Chicago. For the fan going to see DSO, not that I think you need my two cents after what others have said, but they are awesome at what they do.
That entire 9.18.87 is off the charts -start to finish
any plans to play any live Garcia/Grisman? haven’t heard any in a while
just out of curiosity- anyone listen to the cal expo shows from May 1991 lately?
i couldn’t believe how well they sounded…
I have a very ncie short piece w/ Jerry., Grisman, et al. that predates the Garcia-Grisman stuff by several years. You’ll like it.
No ’75 rehearsals this time.
Brent Mydland SBD from 4-16-88 Pasadena City College SEVA Benifit
http://gdlive.com/xtras/Brentsolo/
2 night run at Deer Creek a month later is good too.
Great to hear Nicky Hopkins, one of our most under-rated players, this is a nice essay on his work:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Hopkins
Hey David, Here I am in Sebastopol with the flu, but at least I’ve got good music to listen to.
Feel better, Steve!
Im so glad you liked Railroad Earth last week – what a great band!
A nice sbd of Keller and the keels from 05-28-05 smilefest is available at . http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=27115
David,
Loving the show as always – got any more Houseboat tapes to play us, that didn’t make the Dicks Picks 35 cut??
Best wishes from England,
Paul
Here’s hoping pookie gets a Bird Song.
Any chance of a good Alabama Getaway>Greatest Story Ever TOld? I’m officially hooked now, looks like I’ll be pulling an all-nighter out here in Virginia.
thx nickj
There will definitely be at least one Bird Song. No Alabama-GSET today, tho – sorry!
Remember my mantra: “Can’t do it all!”
Any chance for an early Row Jimmy?
I checked – no Row Jimmys today. Again – Can’t do it all!
Greenjah…amen…such a sweet and emotional song. I had a nice time with it today…
Ah it’s all good. Nothing you’ve played today has disappointed.
I’m glad to hear that!
Hey, I hope some of you will visit this blog again in the future. I post logs, program notes, etc. for oth the national GD Hour and Dead to the World. Plus news and reviews.
This 1975 JGB is greatly appreciated! I’ve never heard recordings of Jerry w/ Booker or Hopkins before. I really love this sublime Jerry band period, especially 76 w/ the Godchauxs. What a day this has been. Can’t tear myself away from the computer. Om shanti. Thanks again, DG
the weather is crispy down here, and the music is sweet
Can’t complain about the selection thus far. Is there a link to the GD Hour and Dead to the World to find more information? Like I said I just learned about KPFA this morning on Nugs.net.
I should go outside and smell the flowers, but I don’t want miss any of the great tunes.
The Ratdog Wiltern 2005 cd is a wonderful performance with gabby la la playing sitar on dark star, and other tunes.I was at the show, and I own the cd. I bought it that night. it a nice pledge gift.
Is that 12/10, Pookie?
kstrom:
http://www.gdhour.com
http://dttw.gdhour.com
yes just a month ago 12-10-05
Fantastic Thanks!
I have been listening to Disc 2 of that Ratdog show.
they played a sweet Dark Star, Hard Rain, Silvio, Terrapin, and Dear Prudence to name a few gems
i think the west coast tour may be a future Ratdog dvd
Hey, David, why include the Nicky was a mess comments?
David I’ve been looking for a transcript or recording of this piece for so long. GSET definately up there on my list of favorites. Thank you so much for this.
omg you have the noise of the pump im going to play guitar o wow wow
Deadhead 5877, I’ll burn you a copy of this documentary if you like. email david@gdhour.com w/ your address.
Kayatosh, good point. I’ll take that outa there.
is it .com or is it actually .com
Now the Other One from the Lyceum on 24th May 72 – now that would be cool!!!!
good call. judgments are messy things.
pookie, I was at that show too. Where did you here the news about a DVD?
Peace and great job. Your pump piece stills holds up to this day — groovy and informative.
awww, cmon David was just calling a spade a spade. PC can be so stuntifying…AND untruthful.
the guy barely had the use of his tongue…
email address corrected, daddy.
There were cameras at the shows both the Wiltern and 4 & B in San Diego. that why they had that psychedelic like background and lighting show. The talk of the show that a dvd was on the horizon. it makes sense. We’ll see.
Wow thanks a lot.
I hope so, as that show was definitely in my personal top 5 of theirs.
The last two times ratdog played the Wiltern it was magical. most performance I see at The Wiltern are special. I’ve seen ratdog, sci, allmans, and phil, and those were all on my personal top 10 shows I seen performed. The Wiltern is Los Angeles’s Warfield.
Hey David,
Fantastic job thus far. There’s no better soundtrack to a day of college hoops than non-stop Dead.
One quick question: Have you heard anything about who will be playing with Phil on his upcoming tour? He usually doesn’t wait this long to release that info…..
Keep up the great work!
Jerry singing comes a time in albany 93 melted me.
then i found yoga.
8^)
there’s my whart rat!
Yeah, you’re right about that. I was at that Wiltern show in May03 and had a great time as well. It’s pretty neat to see the progression the band has made in the 3 years that Robin Sylvester has been playing bass. I loved Rob too!
truthful or not , it’s gratuitous. To these ears, Hopkins was intelligible. Where’s the mess in being a friendly Brit who maybe had a couple? Jim Morrison at the show in Fla. where he may or may not have exposed his jimmy “was a mess.” Just trying to keep it pos., levYogi, like any yogi worth his malas would.
fair enough….to each his own…i thought hearing Hopkins was a ‘mess’ only added to the allure….
you still touching your toes over there Kaya?
rubin&cherise, I am out of the P&F loop. I don’t know what they’re planning, and they seem to like to keep that stuff a surprise anyway.
yeah man that ratdog Wiltern show on 05-17-03 with that opening set of Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Cassidy > Bird Song > Lazy Lightning > Supplication, and a 2nd set Standing on the Moon ; That’s hard to beat.
THat Wharf Rat was flawless. The tempo changes get butchered so often, but that one was perfect.
I heard rumors TODAY of a Phil Trey, and the dead drummers doing a show.
Is David Nelson in the papermill ???
right on. I am, Yogi. Had a nice 90 min. yoga class this morning. I’m off to Kripalu at the end of Feb. for more toe touchin. peace, friend.
rubin maybe its bc theyre planning a dead summer tour we’re crossing our fingers. david could you do some prodding???
trey and the dead drummers did a show, where did you here about phil joining in
a buddy of mine who at work and listening to this stream told me. His rumors are pretty accurate for the most part. Trey needs to do something
i dont want trey touring with the dead as their guitarist
that would be an interestuing show
YAH !!!!!!!!!! David Nelson
i am not sure if the phil & trey is going to be a “DEAD” project
maybe Barry sless will be the dead guitarist
they should all get together and play a massive festival
Are you thinking of Serialpod? Trey, Mike Gordon, and Bill Kreutzmann?
that could be, that line up sounds interesting
i wonder how many years will go by before the next Phish tour
you people scare me
They’ve done one show so far (hopefully more), at the Warren Haynes Xmas jam. I can burn it for you if you want.
Any one catch the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam in Asheville where Serialpod played? I’ve heard mixed things about it.
They were pretty decent, definately would pay to see them again. Cumberlan BLues>Chalkdust Torture was really good. Interesting covers, Nirvana and Van Morrison, and closed with Loose Lucy. I kinda felt like we lost Trey a little bit in the middle of the set, but other than that they were good. Kreutzmann/GOrdon were great the whole way through. The real highlight though was when Trey and BIll came back out at the end to play I Know you Rider with Warren, Marty Stuart, and Dave Schools.
phish, you mean JEMP?
Trey should not tour as a dead guitarist, I agree. He is amazing but I don’t like the idea of him playing with the dead. Maybe I am alone on this but, oh well.
Yeah it sounded like a great set list, but a bit loose at times is what I was told.
You’re not alone, I love him and respect him. But i would much rather see herring or haynes with the dead
Haynes with the Dead was death, IMHO. to each their own though.
Hey David please don’t forget Chicago 78 set 2! I hear there’s a nice Ship Of Fools in there?
Leaving work now, thanks this was a lifesaver today! Have link to pledge when I get home.
Long live the music of the Grateful Dead!
peace to all!
Dan.K
Newark DE
kstrom555 im with you and dank too haynes wasnt quite there idk somthing was lacking but it was better than that chick toured with them that was hell
i Agree with dank, Warren was not a good addition, just too many guitar players. Herring was fine with joan doing some vocals. 2003 dead was the sh%##@ T
Trey has lost a few steps…
he couldn’t keep up with the 60 year-olds anymore.
Thanks for the great day of music. Finally made it through work and will definetly tune in at home.
This is a great day, This is the Super Bowl of GD on the radio (streams) thx david
Steve Kimock should tour again with the Dead
YEAH !!!!!!!! Kimock, and Barry Sless
Yeah Kimock definately, might be interesting to see COl Bruce Hampton or Derek Trucks or….Carlos Santana, ahhhh a guy can dream can’t he?
There are a bunch of those Merle Haggard covers and parodies!
Oakie From Muskogee – Grateful Dead & Beach Boys – 4-27-71 Fillmore East
Hippie From New York City – David Peel & the Lower East Side – The Pope Smokes Dope 1972 Apple Records
A**hole From El Paso – Chinga Chavin & Country Porn – the High Country Santa Cruz Calif. 11-25-78
David, great voice on those songs!
How about David & The Dead ’06?!
cousinkix, there is also “I’ll Fix Your Flat Tire, Merle” from Big Brother and the Holding Company’s Be a Brother album.
Thank you for your kind words, kstrom!
Does any one know how many times Dylan and Jerry sang together, and also were I might find some songs with the two?
you gonna blow our minds tonight like usual david!?!?!?! 🙂
i’ll make my donation then, like usual!!
yee-haw!! ’69 sounds GOOD!
…..just had a pipe dream, Willy Nelson with the Dead..well, the ballads anyway, he does noodle well. (i better check my pipe blend) anywho, this is a great Marathon!
Thank you David! It’s a wonderful gusty drizzly day here on the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains (aka Outer/Upper La Honda) and the music is Perfect 🙂
Georgia aka GeoBear
Georgia – great to se your name on a pledge card!
kstrom555, this site has a list of every time Dylan played with the Dead, I assume that’s what you mean… http://taco.com/roots/dylan.dates.html
Most, if not all of these shows should be available at the live music archives at archive.org
Dave, I was just wondering why there isn’t, to my knowledge, a website that pretty much says what is in the GD Vault and what isn’t. It would cut down on a lot of requests for SBD’s in the future.
I guess the folks at GDP consider that private information?
Deadhead,
Thanks for the sites. Yeah that was exactly what I was looking for.
I feel sorry for people who get tired of listing to live music, becasue I wish this could go on for weeks.
I was living in Boston going to college at the time this was recorded, and I did see the Dead once at the Boston Tea Party, in 1969 I think (I’d have to check Deadbase), but ironically I would have been home for Xmas vacation in the Bay Area so I missed it! Great stuff!
Pigpen! Now, that’s what I’ve been waiting for!
Yeah same here jackaroe, that Easy Wind earlier was real good, very laid back. Hoping for a Mr. CHarlie later on.
When is GDM going to put out a Pigpen boxed set, that’s what I want to know!?!
“cousinkix, there is also “I’ll Fix Your Flat Tire, Merle†from Big Brother and the Holding Company’s Be a Brother album.” I forgot about that one.
I don’t recall an entire Jerry Band set grtting plated on a marathon before. Not a bad idea…
I have a friend who claims to have some unreleased Pigpen solo stuff on vinyl, havn’t heard it yet, but I’m going to transfer it to CD for him sometime. Not sure if it’s pre-dead, or if he was working on it when he died, or what the story is. Anyone know about this?
Whooo, I just called in my pledge and picked up the 3-CD Fillmore West set. Yay!
Mason’s Children! Sweet… 🙂
Keep up the good work, David!
Thank you for your pledge, fydo!

Mr. Gans has played some solo Pigpen stuff on the air before. I wonder if it’s some of the same stoff?
There’s a woman at my office named Casey Jones and everytime I have a meeting with her I get this song stuck in my head.
David, you have any songs from back when they were called the warlocks?
re: Pig on vinyl- You never know when new stuff is going to turn up. I would be great if it pans out but I would guess if it’s on vinyl it’s has probably made the rounds. Ihor Slabicky compiled everything several of us could put our hands on a while back. It should be listed on Deadlists or Archive.
I don;t know of any recordings of The Warlocks.
There was that “Emergency Crew” demo from 12/65 that was released on Birth of the Dead.
David thanks so much! I have been listening to your show since 1991! thanks for the great tunes! I rolled a bomber just 5 minutes ago and will be with you till the end! Greetings from Asheville Nc. The music has ment so much to me all these years Peace!
you are a true jedi master
Porky!
Friends, we’ve got a 30-minute break at 6 for the KPFA evening news.
Just so you know.

Porky,
I went to school at Mars Hill- have you heard of it?
Spent many of nights at the Orange Peel and Civic Center.
cool! i am havin a highland stout in your honor! peace and have a great night!
Cheers I got a Yuengling!
Asheville is such a cool city. Went down there for the first time back in Dec. for the Xmas Jam, never realized what a heady little town it was. Very well kept secret.
Great town, Asheville!
thanks for the great music.
i think you’re missing Russian Lullaby on your playlist.
Ah, thanks! I’ll update
Asheville is a great city to see a show in as well as just hang out. If you have not been there, go.
Great music – how about Phil and Friends with Trey and Page – Phish “Terrapin Station” cover from “98 – Leigon of Mary “My Problems got Problems” it just fits my chotic life right now – La Bamba cover from MSG “87 (pure joy) – facemelting jam from 77 – pretty Garcia Acoustic song (Driver’s Choice!)
I’ll keep listening from warm Minneapolis – corey – live it
dancin was amazing, ive never heard this, came in around the middle and thought it was dark star jam
How about Railroad Earth playing Terrapin Station from Birthday Bash ’04?
ya im really wanting a terrapin still
I have a Terrapin in the queue, Daddy.
I don’t have that RRE Terrapin with me, but I have played it on the GD Hour before – a sweet performance.
Abbey Road was the last album recorded by The Beatles, although it was released second-to-last, on September 26, 1969 in the UK and October 1, 1969 in the US. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records…
info from Wikipedia There is abootleg of the 12/30/66 rooftop show at Abbey Road studios floating around too.
ah nice
Thanks, cuz – I think it’s clear that the GD were listening to Abbey Road at that time!
See you in a little bit David.
david is this the news or are we just truckin
30-minute break for the KPFA evening news. Back at 6:30
LIBERTY
Cousinkix,

Don’t Let Me Down
I’ve Got A Feeling
One After 909
Dig A Pony
I’ve Got A Feeling
Don’t Let Me Down
Get Back
(all the above are the complete rooftop concert)
Plus the following other songs;
The Walk (complete version)
Oh! Darling
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer
Across The Universe
Gone, Gone, Gone
Wake Up in the Morning (w/Linda)
She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
Sausages and French Fries/Early in the Morning/Hi Ho Silver
Stand By Me
Harry Pinsker (Hare Krishna Mantra)
Two Of Us
It is Yellow Dog 015
If you would like a copy, email me at smarcus@well.com with your mailing address and I will be happy to burn you a copy.
Ahhhh St. Stephen, now things really start to get interesting, hoping for a WIlliam Tell bridge into the Eleven.
Not this time, Deadhead5877.
You got a Dark Star on hand for later on?
Alright, Not Fade Away works just as well.
Hm, do I have a Dark Star? Damn good question!
My friend had the rooftop concert; but I wasn’t aware of the extra music. I’ll get in touch about this later. We have a lot of music here too. Best to discuss that in private messages. Gans is rockin…
Please tell me there is a morning dew coming later in the evening.
Oh this works! Not dancin’ in the hallway there, but dancin’ nonetheless 🙂 (my Dad loved this song … he always thought women were smarter 😉
Bertha was the first Grateful Dead song I ever heard, so it holds a special place in my heart. Do you remember yours?
I believe Bertha was the first GD song I heard live, 3/5/72.
David,
Loving the show. Are you brodcasted over nugs.net weekly or is this a one time thing? If so what is your schedule? If not lets make it happen. The show is awesome here out east. Love to be able to listen to you more often. Does KPFA.org allow me to listen to your show over the net?
Hey what was the name of the winery David mentioned….?
kstrom, we hook up with nugs.net for the marathon every year, and when I have a live band in the studio, to.
The winery is http://coturriwinery.com – Phil Coturri is a Deadhead and a longtime friend of Dan Healy et al., and his family has been making organic wines for decades. My wife used to sell ’em at the Inner Sunset Community Food Store in SF nearly 30 years ago, when Coturri was pretty much the only organic wine you could get.
Temple Ball – is that you, Rick?
David, can I still catch your show at KPFA.org when you brodcast?
Yes, Howdy David, Happy New Year & Thanks for the Great Day full of music!!
Blessing to you my friend!!
Thanks for the Vino link as well…Organic….yyyyyyuuummmmmmm
kstrom, DTTW is always streamed live on kpfa.org and kfcf.org, and archived for at least a week after.
Rick, great to see form you – last time I saw you I was being helped out of your venue and taken to the hospital!
Yeah, I recall. I’m glad John & Beth were on the scene, I know it wasn’t a good time for you.
Looking forward to your next trip our way !
Hoping to be on the West Coast (Bay area) sometime in the late spring , early summer.
Peace, Love & Mama Dips !
All I needed was a couple of liters of saline. I rested up w/ Beth and John, changed my flight so I didn’t have to drive back to Jacksonville, and made it home in one piece.
For those Widespread Panic fans out there. Tonight they are on Austin City Limits (2:30am) a rebroadcast, so tivo it if you can and hang out with the marathon.
whens the ratdog coming
what a sweet stella!!!!
RIP Jerry
🙂
(thanks david!)
Fantastic transition
Raise your glass or whatever you have in front of you for David!
I don’t know if I’ll get to the Ratdog. I have a Bob Weir and Friends thing from 1983 that’s coming up next.
Werewolves of London on that?
No Werewolves – sorry!
Hey David, have you considered podcasting GD Hour or DTTW?
GD Hour is available for download. Email david@gdhour.com
Can’t do it all right- i have been listening since 12pm and only one word comes to mind awesome! David your the man.
It’s a privilege and a thrill to be allowed to do this every year. I was just telling my lobby-dancing pals that this is a HUGE hit of community, a great reminder of the best aspects of the long strange trip that will never end.
For those who have access to itunes, there are a few grateful dead podcasts out there. of the two listed below one updates weekly the other monthly. to find go under podcasts and search for the names:
The Dead Show on KOPN 89.5
and
Through the Years
Just a few more outlets for us krazed dead heads
“Thanks, cuz – I think it’s clear that the GD were listening to Abbey Road at that time!”
Same here. I picked my copy up at the old Oddyssey Records as soon as it came out…
More Nicky Hopkins, David?
EXCELLENT ear, Jerry! Yes, it’s Nicky Hopkins.
Anyone else just catch Widespread Panic on Austin City Limits? Sorry I had to leave David, surely you understand.
Deadhead,
Watching them in a few hours. When it gets showed out east. How was it?
Looks like a goog time in the office.
Awesome. They really know how to listen to each other when they jam, Schools in top form. Kstrom, you got any Panic shows you want to trade? My collection is pretty unimpressive and I’m looking to expand it. My email is BushofArabia87@aol.com if you’re interested.
Thanks for the hours, David. Should I expect a solid Deadset after 11 pm? Maybe something ’79-’82? Or whatever…peace out, keep it up.
btw, David, podcasting the Dead hour would just involve setting up a blog with enclosures containing the mp3s. It can be done very easily if you’re interested.
The sticky wicket is in licensing the music.
I saw these guys in Palo Alto…Not many band that played the Keystone had more equipment – handlers – trucks etc. esp when Billy Cobham joined. Tim Bogart looked just like the WKRP guy then…He was in a Jeff Beck project, and Vanila Fudge too – but I was ignorant of Cactus…Learn somethin’ everyday…
Recieved renewal notice this month – plan to reply when tax time passes…
We’ve been listening long enough to get “Women are smarter” twice?!!
Nice…. ; )
That was actually the THIRD version of MSWS. I’ve had two studio versions from 6/81.
How odd that that would be the only (?) song repeated.
ya way to go kim im in that club too lol
I think there were 2 Dire Wolfs, or would it be Dire Wolves? I think I’m feeling a Terrapin Station coming up soon. Can’t believe it’s been 13 hours, how ya holding up out there David?
On a side note; I love to hear all the N Hopkins! – Is this him on piano only, or was he with that multi key set up . . . Man it was great when I got see him with Terry And The Pirates….Must be him on Organ here right?
If you’re listening….you know what I am tryin to say!
The guy knew what was meant when someone said “He pulled out all the stops”……
my BIRD SONG !!!!!!!!!!!
Dave Garland was playing organ and sax on that show – Nicky was just playing piano.
I’m doing fine, Deadhead5877 – this is a very energizing event for me!
Speaking of pulling out all the stops Gans – This is the best marathon ever!
((Oh oh – I’m gettin all misty on ya))
Thanks David Today has been great! If I felt better, I’d be dancing… or I’d be there answering phones… or I’d be at work… Altho I must admit that Olatunji this morning had me dancing! Course, that wiped me out for the rest of the day!
And on an unrelated note, when I first started seeing the Dead, travelling 4-5 hours just to get to the nearest show (from Bar Harbor Maine!) they played Men Smart Women Smarter everytime! I decided they really believed it!
THere’s my Terrapin!!
It’s also really fun to hear names from all over the world!! We Are Everywhere!!!
That’s just what I was looking for. Sounds great in Wine Country!
We’ve gotten pledges from The Netherlands, England, Hong Kong – I can’t even remember all the places, but it’t been great fun knowing people are hearing this all over the world.
Bernie!! Nice to see from you. How’s life on the Western Edge?
“What a way out window man, you deserve it…”
I think some of these recordings made ’79 -’81 are tops…
Was this about when Rythym Devils was recorded?
I guess the tours at this point carried what we all saw in the new years run 79-80, with the expanded jungle gym set up…
I went to a From Egypt With Love Winterland show, Spartan Stadium, the big set up behind the drums was added in between the tours that year right?
David Play Samson
Life’s good! My brother heard you thank me (he’s in NH), and he wants you to know that HE’S the pretty one!! I loved your love song to Rita! And I’m glad to hear you calling her your bride again. You’re such a romantic! I hope all is well with you and yours–sorry to hear about your friend with ALS
You brother is more beautiful than you? I am: skeptical.
Rita and I are still pretty dang blissful after 11 years.
Awwwww….. 🙂
’74 is always tight with me…
Hey speaking of Norfolk, Virginia, just found out that Ratdog is coming through there in March. Yay!
Thanks to everyone @ KPFA for a long day and a great time. DG, great show!!! Your work is perfect!
David, much earlier someone mentioned the Augusta ME shows from 1984. I can doubly attest to the wonders of it!! Oh such fun!! Would love it if you could find it for future broadcasts
I probably have it somewhere in the unsorted heap.
David:
The long trip continues. Thank you.
Do you have any out-takes from the many summer concerts at Frost Ampithreatre?
Jerry always liked to come back to his town (and Pig Pen’s) where he used to teach guitar in the local House of Music store.
Palo Alto Brand
I don’t have anyhthing from the Frost with me tonight, but I have a zillion pleasant memories of seeing the GD there.
Also: the only time I have ever thrown up from drinking alcohol was at the Frost in 1971 or so, and I swear to god this is true: Eric Burdon and War were doing “Spill the Wine.”
I’ll chime in again…’74 means Wall of Sound era…
I was not disappointed, but this is a board right?
I am knd of wondereing what the best sounding ‘aud.s’ of “The Wall of Sound” era are like to hear….
I guess I could take a chance on free downloads…
any suggestions?
Jerry Moore’s audience recordings of Miami 6/74 are terrific.
Thanks.
I’ll look ’em up, in fact -I just looked at details for his tape of June 26 Providence, RI
Or back in 1971, was it Ripple you were drinking which we all learned to avoid? I’m sure that Eric, being a good English lad was not thinking of our Central Valley plunk when he wrote that song. And unlike the Greek, Frost has all of those trees close to the where we sat so you didn’t have to miss much of the show.
I still complain to the University for stopping those great shows where there was room to park.
Hello to Dead fans around the world. This is John in Sydney & I have been enjoying the music for the last 5 hours. This is my 3rd (or 4th) marathon & I nearly missed it as I assumed it wasn’t on till Feb like last year and haven’t had a chance to listen to DTW for a few weeks. It has made my summer Sunday afternoon as we prepare to watch the final of the Australian Open tonight. Any tennis fans out there? You must see Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus play (no, I hadn’t heard of him either till this week). Unseeded 20 year old, he beat Roddick, Ljubicic & Nalbandian this week & takes on Mr Federer tonight! And, unlike most male tennis players these days, he actually has a great personality.
Lovely Stella Blue, etc. Thanks, David. I’ll throw another prawn on the barbis for ya. (We don’t say “shrimp.”)
Hello, John! I knew we’d hear from someone in Australia eventually!
Man, I had such a fine time in your country a few years ago – can’t wait to get back.
St. Michaels, if I recall correctly, it was Red Mountain Pink Chablis. And yes, the bushes were close enough that I could lurch over there, unload my stomach, and go right back to enjoying the music.
Total for the day: $21,522
Yay us!!!
samson?
David, I have just opened a Tyrrells Verdelho 2003 from the Hunter Valley to go with dinner & the tennis. Beats the shit out of Pink Chablis any day!
Yes, we’d love to have you here again. Let me know if you do.
I don’t think there’s any way to get to Samson in the time that remains, daddy. Remember: “Can’t do it all!”
Downunder, my wife is the oenophile in the family, and I know she’s fond of many Australian wines.
daddygreenjeanz, have you ever heard the original version of Sampson and Delilah by Blind Willie Johnson? Same song, but it’s called “If I had my way i’d tear this building down”. from 1927. words can’t describe it.
That Blind Willie Johnson version is amazing. What a voice!
Rev. Gary Davis’s ain’t half bad, either – and you can find that one on The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead.
Oh hell yeah, I think Dark Was The Night has got to be the most haunting piece of music I’ve ever heard, Skip James’ Devil Got My Woman is up there too.
Yeah… one more Saturday Night….
I mean Sunday morning! ; )
She’s on the right track. This Verdelho is excellent. Great “Saturday Night” too with loads of energy..
Have you had Canadian Serena Ryder on your show? She is gigging in Sydney again next week – good singer.
a sort of funky casey jones, im liking it
DownUnder:
I’m your Pacific Rim neighbor in California (Palo Alto) but believe me we have all graduated from that Pink Chablis. But I have just returned from your Oceania neighbor country, New Zealand where they LOVE the Dead and where they are making some stunning red wines. Unfortunately VERY few reach us here on the Dead Coast of NOrth America.
David, you must go there. It is a paradise, even better than West Marin and Kiwi fruit is almost as good as Osley’s finest!
Brand
I’ve never herard of Serena Ryder. I’ll look her up.
I’d love to go to New Zealand, StMichaels. My new manager has some conenctions in Australia and thinks he might be able to get me into a festival there in December.
David:
Great work for this unique radio station. Is this a new high number for the marathon?
Also, I’ll put in a plug here to all on the Internet for the music that KPFA plays on Sunday afternoons. It was Jerry and Old and In the Way that turned me on to that style of music. Can we ever honor JG enough for all he has given us?
Wow.
pretty….
And now Sing Me Back Home. 2 Wows. Please don’t forget that we love your doing this special program for all of us and KPFA.
By the way, when you go to New Zealand tell them you are from No. Calif.
I knew you couldn’t go 16 hours without a Dark Star.
Dunno about their reds (except for their pinot noir) but the Kiwis do make stunning Sauvignon Blanc. I bought one yesterday. NZ definitely worth a visit – the landscape is so completely differently different from Oz. I’m amused that wine has sparked more comment from you Yanks than the tennis – quite right too!
I must go and have dinner & watch Marcos – fish & chips or “fush & chups” as the Kiwis say.
Is that really Dark Star for sitar? Terrific!
Thanks David for yet another incredibly great show! Good night good morning everyone… Nice to hang out with you all again…
StmMichaels, the KPFA GD marathon peaked at just under $50,000 several years ago. But this was a perfectly respectable result.
DownUnder:
The Sitar is to tuck us nicely into bed as it is 12:50 in the morning here.
Yes I went to NZ in search of Pinot Noir (I grew up in Santa Barbara County and if you saw the movie Sideways you will understand) but was amazed at all of the reds. Had a Cab-Merlot from Hawkes Bay last night with friends. They all thought it was stunning. Definitely worth the short flight to your neighbor to the east.
Peace to all,
Good night
David Gans making me stay up till 4 in the morning listening to Grateful Dead. What a crazy, amazing, long strange 16 hours it’s been. Solo Brent was a treat to hear, Olatunji was cool too. Great selections all day, I appreciated every note of it. Thank you David and everyone else who made this possible. Can’t think of a better way to spend 2/3 of a day then with David Gans and the good ol’ Grateful Dead. Looking forward to getting Greatest Pump Story! Take care everybody. Peace.
No, we can’t honour JG enough.
And thanks also from England – 36 years sharing in this great music but my first time listening to the show live from across the ocean … just got up and returned to hear that great version of ‘Bring me back home’ – many many thanks David

It was so nice gathering Party for Jerry’s 10th Memorial.
I did see Sideways so I get your drift.
Baghdatis was just broken Federer.
http://www.australianopen.com/ if anyone’s interested. Marcos alrteady has the ultimate accolade – he has had a souvlaki named after him in Melbourne!
Good night and good luck.
Deadhead good call on this Austin City Limits Panic show.
So downunder what was the deal with the ladies finale?
Nabe, I would love to play in Japan!
Jeez, thank you so much for posting this! It is gonna aid me when I am thinking about going to Masters Cinemas 7 in Augusta! I am from Vancouver so I am not familiar with Augusta. Next time I see my family will be so much better! Fab!
