The final release in the Dick's Picks series finds the Grateful Dead in fine form.
Excellent shows from August 1971, long-lost at sea The Grateful Dead were far ahead of their time in many respects, but none perhaps more so than the breadth, depth and quality of the tapes they archived (and as will be described below, occasionally lost) from their legendary live shows. The Dick's Picks series was named for and originally curated by the band's tape archivist, Dick Latvala. Following Latvala's passing in 1999, the series was continued by the band's current archivist David Lemieux. In contrast to the multi-track remixes released under the [...]
Grateful Dead : New Speedway Boogie [ purchase ] First of all, let me wish all of our readers a very happy new year. To start our "New" theme, I wanted to share a song by the Grateful Dead. So, I had to decide whether to post New Minglewood Blues, New, New Minglewood Blues, or All New Minglewood Blues. I could even have gone with an obscure version of the song that is not the Dead at all, called Even Newer Minglewood Blues. I decided to avoid the problem [...]
It's that time of the year where you're sure to hear all the classic Christmas songs -- the exact same songs you listened to the year before. Snooze! Enter the indies, adding their own twist to y... Continue reading "Listomania: Ten Best Indie Christmas Songs" >
By maintaining a daunting touring schedule and encouraging tapers to share this live experience, the Grateful Dead developed a devout social network nearly 20 years before the birth of Mark Zuckerberg. Now with the technology to bring all these Deadheads together, Curious Sense Inc. in partnership with Grateful Dead Productions and Rhino Entertainment are developing a crowd-sourced Grateful Dead video game entitled The Epic Tour. As RollingStone.com points out, the band recently launched GratefulDeadGame.com , where users can design their own Dancing Bear avatar and cast votes for their [...]

One of my friends is obsessed with the Grateful Dead and he found this dubstep mix to one of their songs. Freddy Todd released this chill dubstep mix to Truckin, which puts the song on a whole other level. Its hard to change such a classic song but Todd wasn't trying to take away from [...]

Comedian turned U.S. Senator Al Franken has never hid his love for the Grateful Dead. Franken helped get the band on Saturday Night Live, was featured in skits and interviews featured in the GD concert film Dead Ahead and used Terrapin Station as the theme for his Air America radio show. Last night at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C., Franken emerged at the start of the show to offer a hilarious introduction of Grateful Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra .

Each and every day in November Grateful Dead vaultmeister David Lemieux picked one gem from the band's archives to share as a free MP3 download with Deadheads as part of 30 Days of Dead . All in all the 30 tracks he wound up sharing ranged from 1967 to 1992 and was a well-rounded collection of tunes from the group's repertoire. If you missed any or all of the tracks Dead.net has compiled all 30 in one zip file for your downloading and listening pleasure or you [...]
Back in July Grateful Dead / Furthur guitarist Bob Weir delayed his first-ever acoustic tour due to what he called "unforeseen circumstances." We hadn't heard much about when those shows, originally scheduled for the first week of August, would take place until today. Bobby has just announced that he will hit the road starting April 24 in Knoxville, Tenn. and running through a May 1 date in Portland, Maine. In between the Knoxville and Portland dates, Weir will visit Charlottesville, Virginia (April 26), Wilkes-Barre, Penn. (April 27), Westbury, New [...]
The fans, the fans, the fans. It's who all bands take the time to acknowledge. At concerts, artists will always shout out partially histrionic statements like, "We couldn't do this without you...the fans!" And as a result, every fan's devotion soars through the roof (if not eternally). It's somewhat silly, though, not to realize that the fans do make everything possible. People like bands, so they buy their records, see their shows, sometimes blog about them (hey there), "Like" their Facebook pages, live chat with them on Twitter, and on super-rare occasions, even get to meet them . It's [...]
And that we did when the Furthur bus rolled into town. The night began with some pre-show "tailgating" in the parking lot, (even though it was a blustery November night in Wisconsin) with stories of first shows, how many shows attended, Jerry shows and post-Jerry shows being shared. Ahh... some things never change and that makes me smile. However, being the wimp that I am, freezing my ass off overtook the nostalgia and I didn't last long in the parking lot and had to move it on in. As Bob and Phil waltzed on [...]
A great night for the Grateful Dead, recorded back in 1977.
Según reporta Deadline , la agencia International Creative Management ( ICM ) se aseguró el acceso al catálogo de Grateful Dead para el desarrollo de un musical basado en sus canciones. Aparentemente se tratará de una producción similar a la realizada en el film Across the Universe , en el cual se utilizaron versiones regrabadas de The Beatles para contar una historia. No es casualidad que el agente de ICM Bruce Kaufman también haya encabezado el trato. [...]

Filed under: News Tim Mosenfelde, Getty Images As our Moviefone colleague Alex Suskin points out , licensing Beatles or Led Zeppelin songs for film is darn near impossible. "Unless you have a massive budget to spend on music rights (cough, Cameron Crowe), the likelihood of using 'Hey Jude' or 'Misty Mountain Hop' in your movie are close to zero," Suskin writes. For years, the same was true for [...]
With a documentary, feature film appearance and new album with the Rumour all looming, 2012 is shaping up as a redemption year for the under appreciated Graham Parker. We thought we would get a jump on the action with a sample of covers spanning Graham's career.
It had been many years, but a couple of weeks back upon (re)hearing the 'jam' section, i.e. the latter 3/4, of the Dead's 1971 live interpretation of Otis Redding's infallible R&B staple "Hard To Handle", my reaction was something akin to 'fucckkkk' or 'holy shit!' Eloquent? No, but emotion rarely is in my experience. And [...]
