Season 12 finale of the Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast is out now!

this week on the good ol’ grateful deadcast, @sg-marshall.bsky.social & i flip the side on “blues for allah” & get into “crazy fingers,” legit one of my favorite dead studio cuts, capturing a delicate place that virtually all live versions (outside 1975) miss. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /1

on this week’s deadcast, @sg-marshall.bsky.social hit “the music never stopped,” tracing from jam to song, exploring how the music almost stopped & the band had to sell their record labels, & getting into high times magazine & the ‘70s pot biz with @seanhowe.bsky.social. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu...

on this week’s grateful deadcast, @sg-marshall.bsky.social & i get into the weird & heady lesh suite, “king solomon’s marbles”/“stronger than dirt.” the 2nd idea seems to have been in lesh’s head since ~1962, per this image from one of hank harrison’s infamous books. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /1

today, @sg-marshall.bsky.social & i launch season 12 of the good ol’ grateful deadcast by (at long last!) welcoming dan healy, longtime grateful dead sound wiz, who virtually invented the job of front-of-house engineer, among many other innovations over 3 decades. www.dead.net/deadcast/dan... /1

Our president is clearly aligning with Putin and Russia. What the fuck is going on???

My best investment advice

True.

very honored to have written liner notes for the forthcoming 50th anniversary reissue of robert hunter's "tiger rose," the only full album he made with jerry garcia. 1st time the original mix/vocals are on CD, also the only format for my notes & the alternate takes. store.dead.net/en/grateful-...
