Grateful Dead, Three from the Vault (2/19/71)
LOSER
Ratdog guitarist and Jemimah Puddleduck leader Mark Karan visited the KPFA studio on April 18 and filled two hours up with great music, including a live solo acoustic performance that you’ll hear next week. You’ll also hear some studio recordings-in-progress, including Bob Weir singing “All Along the Watchtower.”
Also in this week’s program is a track from Three for the Vault, to be released June 26 but available for pre-order now on DeadNet. It’s the complete performance of 2/19/71 on two discs, mixed by Dan Healy.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from:
Dead Symphony, an orchestral tribute to the music of the Grateful Dead. Performed by the Russian National Orchestra and conducted by composer Lee Johnson, ‘Dead Symphony’ is available now via an advance release via download at digital music service providers around the globe.
