  • Get academic!

    I love the dead and saw the real thing many times in the 80’s as a young impressionable man.

    This series is really well done, in-depth and downright academic in its approach.

    Well done gents… I think Jerry would love it!

  • Grateful for this great podcast

    The most insightful, technical, and far-reaching diagnosis of the Grateful Dead’s music and history I personally have ever encountered. Each episode is a real gift, nuanced and educational. Better than books because of the audio content, interviews with band members etc. Nothing compares with hearing Jerry talk openly and deeply about the music they made so many years ago.
