Old GD Hours on DeadNet

by

The beautiful new DeadNet today introduces a new weekly feature: podcasts from the Grateful Dead Hour archive.

Analise Dubner created a beautiful image for the landing page.

First up is program #793, the first of a four-part series featuring an interview with Steve Parish on the occasion of the publication of his memoir, Home Before Daylight.

There will be a place for comments and requests – I’ll be very happy to get input on which programs from GD Hour history you’d like to hear. You can search the GD Hour log archive here and/or here.

Speaking of Home Before Daylight, news recently surfaced that a movie is in the works. According to Rolling Stone:

…now moviegoers can start preparing for the most acid-soaked tale of them all: Home Before Daylight, a film based on the formative years of The Grateful Dead. The movie will be adapted from a book by Steve Parish, who has some real credentials: He was a Dead roadie for 35 years.

The story, which has already been endorsed by Dead guitarist Bob Weir, will chart the history of the band, focusing on those times they chilled with Ken Kesey and Jefferson Airplane in the Haight-Ashbury days. We’re totally stoked for this film, if just to see who gets cast as Grace Slick (please not Lindsay Lohan).

  1. Well, since you asked..here are a few episodes from way back that would be nice to hear again. Some of this music has never made it over to the digital realm (Weird Wasserman collaborations, rare Gans/Weir and the Furthur jam)…Thanks…this is a cool development…Jeremy
