GOOD OL' GRATEFUL DEADCAST

As a head who never got to see Jerry, it is astonishing how the GOGDC connects its listeners to the rich and kaleidoscopic history of arguably the greatest rock and roll band to have ever put tune to ear. When I listen to an episode, it pulls me into the scene of the day or time period being featured and does so from multiple angles of perspective. A listener feels like they are there, in the action, as it was happening. The work which Jesse Jarnow and Rich Mahan put in, along with all of the fantastic interviews and commentary from David Lemieux and others, brings the Dead to life in a truly unique, thoughtful and engaging way such that even those of us who were unable to partake of that epic 30 year trip can vicariously feel as though we were a part of the long strangeness of it all. From this head, I can truly say, I’m so very grateful for this. RIP Steve Silberman, your commentary brought so much joy to the post-Jerry generations of Deadheads.

Best podcast available as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for the great content - keep it up!

Please cover the 60s! Come on we’re heading into 60th anniversary territory. This is sooo good as one would expect from the official Dead camp! Covering these 2 gems of albums is an awesome way to start. They’ve done quite a trick here by including lots of info and insights that are either really obscure or previously not revealed. So much of the Dead’s story has been rehashed so many times but here they actually add new details and present it in such a way as to be essential listening whether you’re a fan or a newb. I’m hoping they’ll go back in time to cover the 60s but also look forward to other periods they might explore. Long may you run folks!

The best podcast I subscribe to…it has been the foundation for the growth of my love for all things Grateful Dead and Jam Band! It is my go to podcast for my long runs, I just wish I had more. As my knowledge has grown I am definitely tempted to go back and select episodes that I may have a better understanding of now. I could go on and on, but I leave it with a simple THANK YOU!
