One From the Vault is a live album by the Grateful Dead, recorded on August 13, 1975 at the Great American Music Hall, and released April 15, 1991 on Grateful Dead Records. The concert was broadcast on FM radio, widely traded by fans on cassettes, and sold in bootleg LP versions under the titles Urubouros Deedni Mublasaron and Make Believe Ballroom. But it was not until the Grateful Dead released it on their eponymous record label that high-quality versions of the songs appeared. It was the first complete concert recording released commercially by the band. The concert also marked the first time that the then recently released album Blues for Allah was performed live in its entirety, albeit with a few other songs thrown in.

Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes from LOCKN’ Music Festival in Arrington, Virginia, where the long strange trip continues for Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir. Mickey Hart joins EOTO on the Main Stage and curates “Deep Rhythm Experience” sets in the LOCKN’ Woods. Bill Kreutzmann plays with Billy and the Kids and sits in with Jorma and Jack during their Jefferson Airplane 50th Anniversary celebration. Phil Lesh and Friends play twice, once featuring Chris Robinson, and again with Carlos Santana and Warren Haynes. Bob Weir is the Featured Artist of the Day on Saturday, so expect surprising collaborations. For tickets and info, visit LOCKN Festival.

Interview by Sarah Borque:
Tales From David Gans: Profiling The Musician And Grateful Dead Expert
“Figure out who you are. Be that self to the max. Trust your instincts. Be kind to people. Don’t expect people to be kind to you, but be kind to people anyway. Do your best work as often as you can. Stay true to it. It’s hard but it’s worth it.”
