What was supposed to be a conversation about the Grateful Dead quickly becomes something else entirely when photographer Jay Blakesberg and singer-songwriter Steve Poltz join us at High Sierra.The two give us a preview of Working Man's Dead, their wonderfully unpredictable live collaboration combining Jay's iconic Grateful Dead photography and storytelling with Steve's music — including songs he writes spontaneously in response to stories and images he hasn't seen coming.They talk about Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and the strange magic of improvisation. Jay also recounts watching an all-white-clad Steve Poltz make his way toward the rail at the Sphere as the crowd seemingly parted for him “like Moses” — leading Jay to describe Steve as “a cross between Bob Dylan and Moses.”And then things go completely off the rails.Charlton Heston. Planet of the Apes. Paper routes. Behind the Green Door. A mysterious bag of vintage magazines. And several moments when we completely lose control of our own interview.Underneath the insanity, though, is a friendship between two gifted storytellers and a shared love of the Grateful Dead, spontaneity and the kind of live experience that can never happen exactly the same way twice.This is Steve Poltz and Jay Blakesberg — unfiltered, unscripted and very much Only in the Green Room.Steve Poltz, Jay Blakesberg, Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead stories, Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia, Workingman's Dead, Grateful Dead photography, High Sierra Music Festival, Only in the Green Room

What a treat gathering this tribe to celebrate Jerry Garcia's birthday at the iconic Greek Theater in Berkeley, California with Dark Star Orchestra. And gathering this tribe was no small feat, with my guests and I representing California, South Carolina, New York, and Hawaii, all under one roof (and later in one very cramped Uber)!The episode is recorded in two segments. First, with fellow Canterbury Saint, Paul “Pablo” Bauer and his better half, Rachel “Rāche” Whitley, our host & fellow Saint, Hollister “Paco” Keville, and my concert wingwoman and oldest daughter, Hannah Staib.Pablo and Rachel lead the conversation out of the gate with their thoughts on our collective early days “getting on the bus” in the mid-80's. Decades later, they met and discover their mutual love of The Grateful Dead and ultimately their love for each other, realizing that they were, in fact, true soulmates.We wrap up the “first set” of the interview by recapping a few highlights from Night 1 at The Greek, and we round out the episode en route to Night 2 with cameo appearances by Cary Platkin, Jad (not-to-be-confused-with “Jed”) Dunning, and Hannah Staib and a few predictions for the show to come. It was quite a ride, in more ways than one!Join us, and let's see where the energy takes us!Franklins Tower https://music.apple.com/us/album/franklins-tower-live/291317313?i=291317359Fire on the Mountain https://music.apple.com/us/album/fire-on-the-mountain-live/291317313?i=291317362Call Me the Breeze https://music.apple.com/us/album/call-me-the-breeze/672720304?i=672720451Cold Rain & Snow https://music.apple.com/us/album/cold-rain-and-snow-live-at-fenway-park-boston-ma-6-25-23/1724866648?i=1724866652Scarlet Begonias https://music.apple.com/us/album/scarlet-begonias-live-at-barton-hall-cornell-university/1204914175?i=1204914243That's it for the Other One https://music.apple.com/us/album/thats-it-for-the-other-one-cryptical-envelopment/1374273019?i=1374273412https://www.facebook.com/groups/1983015048745357

Bonnie Dobson wrote the haunting folk classic “Morning Dew” in 1961, inspired by the fear of nuclear annihilation. The song would go on to be recorded by the Grateful Dead, Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Nazareth, Devo and countless others—but along the way, singer Tim Rose claimed co-writing credit, beginning a decades-long struggle for Dobson to reclaim recognition for the song she wrote.Author John Einarson joins Booked On Rock to discuss his new biography, Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew: The Life and Times of Bonnie Dobson and the Story of Her Iconic Song. We explore the remarkable origins of “Morning Dew,” Bonnie's experiences in the 1960s folk scene and with a young Bob Dylan, how the Grateful Dead helped immortalize the song, the controversy surrounding Tim Rose, and the battle to restore Bonnie's rightful credit. John also shares the wonderful story of Bonnie knocking on Robert Plant's door and how Plant ultimately helped her get her song back.Pre-order a copy of Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew: The Life And Times Of Bonnie Dobson And The Story Of Her Iconic SongOrder a signed copy of Take Me For A Walk In The Morning Dew from Rough TradeFind more books by John Einarson----------
What started as a conversation about Bob Weir and RatDog turned into one of the most personal stories we've ever captured.In this episode of Only in the Green Room, drummer Jay Lane shares what it was like joining Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman despite knowing very little about the Grateful Dead, learning songs from Heaven Help the Fool, navigating unpredictable RatDog setlists, and witnessing Bob's determination to keep creating after Jerry Garcia's passing.Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn.Jay opens up about his own adoption story, his remarkable adoptive mother, Mary D. Lane, and discovering his biological mother, prior to his birth, had a daughter with acclaimed jazz bassist Donald Rafael Garrett. As the story unfolds Jay pieces together a long-hidden mosaic of family, music, and coincidence, sharing how deeply his life had been intertwined with San Francisco's legendary music scene long before he ever knew it.This is a story about music, identity, family, mentorship, and the incredible coincidences that can shape a life.If you enjoy authentic conversations with the artists behind the music, please Like, Subscribe, and share this episode.#OnlyInTheGreenRoom #JayLane #BobWeir #RatDog #GratefulDead #AdoptionStory #MusicPodcast #BehindTheMusic#SweetwaterMusicHall #David Nelson, #Ramblin' Jack Elliott, #Lorin Rowan, #Matt Jaffe, #Matty Michna, #Jay Lane# Barry Sless, #Jason Crosby, #Samson Grisman#Bobby & The Midnites - I Want To Live In America 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWscxdleZzIYouTube: @inmotion68"Not Fade Away" - Bob Weir and Wolf Bros | 8/25/2019 | LOCKN' 2019 | Relix YouTube: @RelixMaghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfnfGM77Ob8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wdteIsK1qUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6a-A7gP9Mc

Listen without ads: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Episode summary: This week we continue Allman Brothers Month!Legendary photographer, archivist and Allman Brothers tour manager Kirk West tells the incredible story of his journey from small-town Iowa into the center of American rock-and-roll history. After discovering psychedelics and Chicago blues in the late 1960s, Kirk became an IV meth user and drug dealer. He fled pending charges, landed in the psychedelic communities of Boulder and Northern California, and was eventually identified and arrested while hitchhiking through Nevada with meth and syringes in his backpack. Kirk recounts therapeutic-community rehab, heroin addiction, the murder of his drug-dealing partner, repeated arrests and the camera-store burglary that finally led him back into treatment. He found recovery through one of Florida's earliest Narcotics Anonymous communities—but after five years sober, he attempted to prove that he could drink normally. That experiment ended shortly after John Lennon's murder and ultimately gave Kirk the sobriety date he has maintained ever since. His recovery opened the door to an extraordinary career photographing Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Clash, Jerry Garcia and countless others. Kirk eventually became the Allman Brothers Band's archivist and tour manager, served as Dickey Betts' sponsor and helped preserve the group's history. He shares intimate stories about Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, the Big House in Macon—and the night Lowell George offered him cocaine shortly before his death.

Then we travel back to Dopey Episode 37 for a classic conversation with Dave and Chris. They talk about sponsorship, working the steps, honesty, spirituality, and the strange miracle of one addict helping another. Dave tells the story of Jerry Garcia using a radio interview to summon drugs after the Grateful Dead's package went missing in Philadelphia, plus tales of John Lennon's psychedelic excess and Paul McCartney's alleged plan to smuggle Owsley acid inside camera equipment. Things get progressively dopier as Dave remembers stealing fried chicken and vodka at a company party, while Chris describes shooting cocaine in Anguilla, hallucinating benevolent Rastas hiding in the bushes, chasing an imaginary car around an abandoned house, and eventually being rescued from Saint Martin by his brother. Finally, Dave recounts smuggling six bundles of heroin into Jamaica, burning through nearly everything, passing out on Valium during a press trip, and repeatedly sneaking into first class while withdrawing on the flight home. Beneath all the insanity, Dave and Chris reflect on the possession of addiction, the freedom of sobriety, and the strange comfort of no longer needing drugs to feel safe. Stay strong, Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Before the interview, Dave plays a hilarious voicemail from Australia about a first DUI, drinking gin while delivering food, accidentally racing an unmarked police car, and finishing the remaining booze in front of the cops. Dave also dives into listener emails about 2C drugs, psychedelic chemistry, his latest obsession with air fryer chicken thighs, and his fantasy "ultimate junkie cocktail"—before quickly reminding everyone how grateful he is to be sober. Then comes a fascinating deep dive into the lives of Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Dickey Betts, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, and the complicated relationship between genius, addiction, recovery, and music. Alan shares remarkable stories about Stevie Ray Vaughan's dedication to Alcoholics Anonymous, how his recovery inspired countless musicians to get sober, the Allman Brothers' heroin use, the infamous Scooter Herring drug trial that nearly destroyed the band, Duane Allman's opposition to shooting heroin despite using it himself, and Greg Allman's controversial testimony that fractured relationships throughout the rock world. The conversation also explores psychedelic culture, the legendary mushroom logo, Eat a Peach, Dickey Betts' complexity, Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and why some of rock's greatest musicians remain endlessly fascinating decades after their deaths.

McNally transcript Stu Levitan welcomes historian, author and music publicist Dennis McNally, whose new book is The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties. And while it's mainly about San Francisco, with a bit of New York and London thrown in, it does feature several individuals and events pertaining directly to Madison. So that's why you get to hear about it here. Dennis's first book was include Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, the Beat Generation and America, an outgrowth of his doctoral dissertation at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst; then came A Long Strange Trip: The Inside Story of the Grateful Dead, which he wrote after serving many years as the band's publicist; and in 2015 the award-winning On Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom, tracking American music from minstrelsy to Bob Dylan. He also edited Jerry on Jerry, transcripts of conversations he had over the years with Jerry Garcia. Here's our conversation about The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties.
PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This Dopey Replay goes back to Episode 34, a classic early Dave-and-Chris-only episode packed with old-school Dopey chaos. Dave opens by reflecting on the early days of the show, Chris's role in shaping it, and how tiny the original Dopey Nation was back then. Before the replay, Dave plays a voicemail from Eric about doing huge lines of coke in the courthouse bathroom before a DUI hearing, then reads comments from Patreon and Spotify about the previous replay. The original episode is pure OG Dopey: Dave and Chris talk about wanting listeners to email them so they'll do Facebook Live in disguises, read old listener names, and dig into stories from active addiction. Chris shares stories about drinking and driving, puking into his shirt so a state trooper wouldn't see, shooting coke paranoia, translating his Japanese girlfriend's emails, and burning his arm in boiling water while drunk. Dave tells some of his all-time early Dopey stories: working children's parties while completely loaded, including showing up as a Power Ranger and then as a disastrous Big Bird with bare hairy legs; getting high while trying to host music TV interviews; insulting Bob Weir by only asking about Jerry Garcia; and finally the infamous Ibogaine story, where he arranged for Ibogaine to be shipped from Europe to Canada, smuggled it back across the border taped to his leg, tripped at home, met a “loser alien,” and still got high the next day. You'v e heard me tell these stories hundreds of times - but this is the first time... Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Janda is joined by Behind The Song podcast producer Christian Lane (her husband!) for a conversation about what makes the Grateful Dead continue to compel fans to “get on the bus,” more than 60 years after they played their first concert. The conversation explores the various entry points into the band's world and the philosophy of fun outlined by Jerry Garcia that still resonates with DeadHeads both new and old today.

Jerry Garcia never wanted to be the leader. He was the reluctant heart of the Grateful Dead — the quiet, bearded wizard whose guitar could take a song and stretch it into an all-night cosmic journey. But whether he liked it or not, the band revolved around him, and the counterculture found its soundtrack in his hands. Garcia was a profoundly complicated man. A devoted family guy who cherished his children, yet locked in a lifelong battle with addiction that would ultimately claim his life in 1995. He was equal parts dreamer and self-destroyer — a walking contradiction who somehow made that tension beautiful. What defined Jerry most was his restless creativity. The Grateful Dead was never enough. He dove into bluegrass, folk, jazz, and avant-garde with a rotating cast of side projects — from Old & In the Way to the Jerry Garcia Band — always chasing a new sound, a new collaboration, a new way to express the inexpressible. He wasn't just a rock star; he was a musical explorer who treated every stage like uncharted territory. Today, his spirit lives on in every jam band that refuses to play a song the same way twice, in the Americana revival, and in generations of artists who understand that music isn't about perfection — it's about the journey, the risk, and the willingness to get lost so the audience can find something unexpected. Jerry Garcia: counterculture icon, reluctant leader, family man, addict, and eternal innovator. The ripples are still spreading. Episode Playlist Check out this week's Episode Playlist.
