When the Grateful Dead decided to simplify their studio process, the result was a return to the band's roots with simple, country, and folk-inspired tunes. Their next LP, Workingman's Dead  set the stage for the release of arguably the band's studio masterpiece just a scant five months later, American Beauty.     On this episode, we discuss American Beauty and what makes it so endearing and enduring, and why we believe it holds a special place in Americana music specifically, and 20th-century American music overall.   Along the way give we look into how the band got here, what other bands were rubbing off on them, and the genius of Robert Hunter.  

The Deadcast celebrates the 30th anniversary of 1991's “Infrared Roses,” the last original Grateful Dead album (with cover art by Jerry Garcia & track titles by Robert Hunter) & explores the band's MIDI years. Guests: Bob Bralove, David Lemieux, Steve Silberman, Doug Kaplan, Dave Harrington

“You want to see the most beautiful thing I've ever filmed?” Uh, maybe not Mr. Spacey. But we will take a look at AMERICAN BEAUTY and the other two releases from October 1, 1999, THREE KINGS and MYSTERY, ALASKA. Time to look closer…at Episode 61 of Opening Weekend! It's the early fall of 1999 and the boys are watching three cinematic game changers: Sam Mendes' “American Beauty” and its take on repressed, suburban malaise; David O. Russell's “Three Kings”, with its fever-dream, anti-war prescience; and the biggest game changer of them all, Jay Roach's “Mystery, Alaska”…because it makes Dan want to literally change the game…from hockey to anything else. What's creepier? The way Kevin Spacey ogles Mena Suvari in her cheerleading outfit or the way Jason and Fred ogle George Clooney in his Desert Camo? And asDan enthusiastically repeats stories he told 8 episodes ago about bad jobs, living in Astoria, bad jobs, and living in Astoria (also about bad jobs and living in Astoria), Jason and Fred reminisce about the amazing artistry they witnessed that season: Jason, with the paintings of Norman Rockwell and Drew Sturzan. Fred with the acting prowess of Ed Koch and Drew Barrymore's Mom. Put down the camera, Wes Bentley, you're freaking that dead bird out…and tune into Episode 61 of Opening Weekend!

The Grateful Dead's relationship with St. Louis went deep as the new Listen To The River box set and this Deadcast prove, featuring promoter Tony Dwyer, offstage jams at Scotty's Music, and the time the Dead crashed Richie Gerber's bar mitzvah.GUESTS: Sam Cutler, Tony Dwyer, Michael Scott, Richard Gerber, Mark Slosberg, Steve Fisher, Doug Heller, David Lemieux, Joe Schwab, Tom Wood, Bob Simmons, Thom Pallazola, John Ellis

This week, we watch the film that shows a trashbag swirling in the wind and makes teenagers think real hard about it. This film contains an amazing ensemble cast alongside great cinematography, editing, and score. It holds up even though some recent stories on one of the main actors makes it a tough watch, especially given the content of the movies main storyline. American Beauty (1999), directed by Sam Mendes.

The music you remember from The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Angels in America, Finding Nemo, 1917, and the James Bond films Skyfall and Spectre was all written by Thomas Newman. His father was the legendary film composer Alfred Newman (who won nine Oscars and composed the 20th Century Fox fanfare). His brother David is also a film composer, and his cousin is songwriter/composer/performer Randy. Thomas admires them all but still managed to find his own “voice.” Leonard and Jessie are unabashed admirers, all the more so after speaking with this gifted but unassuming musical talent.
