This is the first of four programs saluting Vince Welnick, who took his own life on June 2. These four hours are derived from six hours of tribute programs I broadcast on KPFA June 14 and 21; the interviews are seriously shortened, and there’s a lot more music in the originals. You can hear the unedited versions here and here. Playlists: June 14, June 21.
There are some “outtakes” – music I prepared for the KPFA shows but didn’t have time to play – here and here.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from the Gathering of the Vibes, August 17 – 20 in Mariaville, New York, featuring 3 days of music with Bob Weir & Ratdog, Rhythm Devils, Yonder Mountain String Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Hot Tuna, Zen Tricksters featuring Donna Jean Godchaux, Zero, Keller Williams, David Gans and more than twenty other acts.
And from Fantasy Records, presenting Well Matched: the Best of Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia – ten tracks of live and studio material, highlighting the mid-70s pairing of Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders with guests David Grisman, Vassar Clements, Bill Kreutzmann, Tower of Power horns and many others. Well-Matched includes rare photographs, and liner notes by Blair Jackson.
Additional support comes from Sunshine Daydreams, presenting the 21st Annual Jerry Garcia Birthday Bash August 4 and 5 at the Sunshine Daydreams music campground in Terra Alta, West Virginia with Blues Traveler, 2 nights of Keller Williams, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grateful Grass featuring Keller Williams and the Keels, ekoostik hookah, Herring/Rodgers/Sipe and many more.
