I just read this copy for Sirius XM announcements.
This New Year’s Eve, Bob Weir and and Phil Lesh and their bands are joining together in San Francisco for an extraordinary collaboration. Can’t make it? No problem … you can hear Ratdog, Phil and Friends, and the midnight festivities right here on the Grateful Dead Channel starting at 3 pm eastern!
Start the year with a truly special event – and exclusive backstage interviews that just might give some clue as to what to expect in 2009. Hear it all New Year’s Day starting at 3 pm eastern, with an encore presentation immediately afterwards … only on Sirius 32 and XM 57 – the Grateful Dead Channel!
Man, it is hard not to read between the lines here and assume that we will hear about some new Dead shows in 2009!
