    S2E13: Go To Heaven

    Always late for the bus, that’s us. But hey, we made it to the season’s lucky 13th episode! The Dead sure were lucky to snag Brent Mydland after Keith peaced out of the band then this realm of existence. Casey, Eduardo, and Kevin all agree that Brent’s gifts are many, but we’re not so sure we wouldn’t return his two (!!!) compositions on Go to Heaven for store credit. But all conflict, internal or external, melts away in the rainbow light of the Dead. Or maybe it’s just the gummies talking. One more synchronicity: we put this episode to bed on the anniversary of Brent’s death on July 26, 1990. RIP, dear one.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    S212: Shakedown Street

    Ever tried to scrape cocaine out of a shag carpet? We haven’t personally, but if we ever found ourselves making the attempt, there’s a decent chance Shakedown Street would be on the Hi-Fi. In this episode, the gang examines one of the least beloved long-players in the Grateful Dead’s catalog. How an album partially produced by the legendary Lowell George of Little Feat ended up one of the Dead's least-beloved studio releases is an enduring enigma. We don't attempt to solve it so much as explore the realities it represents. With plenty of opinions, obviously.

    S211: Terrapin Station w/ Rusty Sutton of The Glow Management

    Was the Dead’s hiatus shorter than ours? What even is time anymore? We figure a global pandemic is almost as good an excuse as trying to finish The Grateful Dead Movie. Thanks for your patience as we hit pause and hunkered down—it’s great to be back! Spring seems like the perfect time to appreciate the progressive confection known as Terrapin Station as we collectively unclench. Up front, Casey offers his mea culpas to the Great Lost Year of 2020, then the gang talks turtles with Rusty Sutton—a manager and head of marketing at The Glow Management, repping acts like Wye Oak, Sylvan Esso and more. All that plus a track-length version of the Dead to Me theme, available now at our Bandcamp page. Happy Spring! We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.

    S2E10: Blues for Allah

    Freshly back from hiatus, the Grateful Dead delivered the potent yet polarizing Blues for Allah in September 1975. Containing soon-to-be set staples like “Help on the Way,” Slipknot,” Frankin’s Tower,” “Crazy Fingers,” and “The Music Never Stopped,” Blues for Allah has all the hallmarks of a classic Dead record. Still, it’s hard to make the case that these versions are definitive, especially with so many incredible live takes yet to come. In some ways, Blues for Allah is like software in beta—absolutely necessary to future iterations, but still a little buggy. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth revisiting or checking out for the first time. Stately, intoxicating, and occasionally impenetrable, this is a record that demands your full attention. And that’s exactly what we give it. We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.

    S2E9: From the Mars Hotel

    In this episode, the Dead to Me crew check into the Mars Hotel, where rooms are cheap and the vibe is high. In March 1974, the Grateful Dead unleashed their fabled Wall of Sound live audio system at the Cow Palace in San Francisco—a few weeks later they holed up in CBS Studios on Folsom Street to lay down tracks for their second album on their very own Grateful Dead Records. From the Mars Hotel showcases a well-oiled band with a handsome assortment of tunes that run the gamut from psychedelicized ballads to raunchy rockers, with experimental flourishes courtesy of computer scientist and synthesizer enthusiast Ned Lagin. The last studio album before a year-long hiatus, Mars offers such Dead staples as “Scarlet Begonias” and “U.S. Blues,” along with a pair of delightfully obtuse Phil Lesh compositions, “Unbroken Chain” and “Pride of Cucamonga”—both featuring lyrics by Phil’s buddy Bobby Petersen. We consider how these songs fit into the Dead’s songbook and ponder the captivating and confounding aspects of a record that stands among the finest in the band’s catalog.  We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.

    S2E8 - Wake of the Flood (with special Guest Dan Horne)

    It’s hard to believe, but we’re finally back from set break. For our first number, we’ll talk to Dan Horne of Circles Around the Sun and Grateful Shred. Mark your calendar to catch both bands at the Skull and Roses festival, which takes place in Ventura County, California on April 2-5. Dan tells us how he stays chill and musically on-point, and what it means to move on with the Circles project after Neal Casal’s passing. Later in the show, Casey, Eduardo, and Kevin tackle Wake of the Flood—the first release on Grateful Dead Records, which arrived in October 1973. Spoiler alert: We like it!

    S2E7 - Set Break Part Two: Skull & Roses / Europe ‘72

    If we spell out what the Grateful Dead actually wanted to call their 1971 live album, we’d end up in Facebook jail, so let’s just refer to it as Skull & Roses. A funky little nugget by any name, it’s a snapshot of a band with evolving aspirations and an expanding songbook. We also dig out our passports for Europe ‘72—a release that deserves every ounce of hyperbole it gets (and there’s plenty of it to go around in this episode). In addition to highlighting some of our favorite songs from a record with no shortage of sensational performances, we investigate eternal mysteries such as how the Dead got their beleaguered label to send forty-three freaks and their equipment on a musical field trip across the Atlantic. We also celebrate the late, great Robert Hunter, whose contributions to the Dead are a big reason this show even exists. No Boomer jokes, but we do have Mailbag! And don’t fret: we’ll return with regularly scheduled episodes shortly. We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.

    S2E6: Set Break Part One with Jonathan Hart of Brokedown Podcast

    For this special set break episode, Jonathan Hart of Brokedown Podcast pops by to talk about three Dead-adjacent albums that helped shape the band’s creative evolution. Originally conceived as solo efforts, Jerry Garcia’s Garcia, Bob Weir’s Ace, and Mickey Hart’s Rolling Thunder each brought something special to the Deadiverse, including songs that would become staples of live sets for years to come. Jerry’s album gave us “Deal,” “Bird Song,” “Sugaree,” “Loser,” “To Lay Me Down,” and “The Wheel.” Ace delivered “Greatest Story Ever Told,” “Black-Throated Wind,” “Looks Like Rain,” “Mexicali Blues,” “One More Saturday Night,” “Cassidy,” and the ultimate jam warhorse, “Playing in the Band.” And speaking of “Playing,” Mickey’s Rolling Thunder also features an embryonic version of the tune, then known as “The Main Ten.” So why did the band choose to reveal studio versions of these classic numbers on non-Dead releases? Jonathan and Casey talk about the possible reasons while offering insights on several key cuts. It’s an Osiris Network crossover for the ages! We’re part of the Osiris podcast network.
