S2E13: Go To Heaven

Jul 27 2021 20 mins

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

S212: Shakedown Street

May 04 2021 25 mins

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

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

Mar 24 2021 33 mins

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 unclen

S2E10: Blues for Allah

Feb 25 2020 29 mins

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 versi

S2E9: From the Mars Hotel

Feb 11 2020 32 mins

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

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

Jan 14 2020 48 mins

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 t

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

Nov 11 2019 51 mins

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

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

Sep 24 2019 46 mins

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 l

S2E5: American Beauty

Sep 03 2019 38 mins

This episode is dedicated to Neal Casal.We honor the dead by living. Sometimes that’s not an easy thing to do. That’s why we’re grateful to have friends and music to get us through—it reaffirms our connection to what’s essential. American Beauty was written and recorded at a time when members of the Dead were bidding fare thee well to loved ones, and they channeled their

S2E4: Workingman's Dead

Aug 26 2019 40 mins

The Grateful Dead had a topsy-turvy 1969, the year the countercultural underground became a global youth phenomenon. There was the bum set at Woodstock. There was the nightmare of Altamont. And there was major financial stress, with large sums owed to Warner Brothers. Making matters worse, Mickey Hart’s father, Lenny—who the Dead brought on to manage their money—made off with
