The 8/15/15 Billy & the Kids show is available as a free MP3 download! Other audio formats also available. Check it out here.
Here’s what I posted about it on Facebook on August 31:
I’ve been listening to that free Billy & the Kids download for several hundred miles. I am loving it!
This is exactly what I want from a band playing this music: a deep, satisfying, often profound conversation in the language of the Grateful Dead and in the unique collective voice of these particular musicians.
And if you ever had any doubt that Bill Kreutzmann is the heartbeat of the Grateful Dead, this recording should clear that up for you.
This is the swingin’, jammin’ SHIT!
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from:
The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. Acclaimed indie-rockers The Demberists play The Cap on September 24. That Saturday, September 26, classic-rock icons Cheap Trick offer fans the music they know and love. Events, information, and ticketing at thecapitoltheatre.com.
The WELL, a pioneering social network featuring a Deadhead community that’s been telling stories and sharing information since 1986. There are thousands of other conversations in the WELL, too, and no ads, no animation – just words. Grateful Dead Almanac editor Gary Lambert is also a longtime member.
