  • Great podcast.

    I’ve seen the Dead over 200 times. First show was 9/27/72. Saw the wall 3 times in 74. Love the way you break down the songs album by album. I’m old school. Love 68-74 the best. 72-74 one drummer is my sweet spot. 76-79 Good not great. 5/8/77 is not the best show ever. Not even the best in 77. Was not a huge fan of Brent. From NY and never missed a tour. Keep doing your thing.

  • Highly recommended!

    I have been listening to this podcast since its inception and never miss an episode. The production quality, research, and attention to detail are all outstanding. I especially love the regular inclusion of musicians and musicologists. Above all, I super appreciate the perspective of the primary host, Jesse Jarnow, who brings outstanding knowledge of the Dead, their music, and the culture it created/developed within.
