This week's Deadpod drops us into the Spring 1992 tour, catching the band at the Nassau Coliseum for a rockin' first set that showcases both Phil Lesh and Bruce Hornsby — in what would turn out to be Bruce's final tour with the band. The set runs a bit short, but that was pretty typical for the latter-day Dead. No matter — the band is in fine form. Phil kicks things off leading the charge on 'Greatest Story Ever Told,' followed by a rousing 'Bertha.' 'Stagger Lee' is another Lesh showcase, though the whole band locks in beautifully by the end. 'Beat It On Down The Line' opens with a full nine-beat intro before Phil delivers a genuine surprise — a standout vocal on 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues,' one of my personal favorite Dead covers. Bruce then steps forward on a heavy, honky-tonk-tinged 'Tennessee Jed.' The boys close out the set on a high note with a spirited 'Promised Land,' Bruce adding a nice solo to send everyone home happy.

in 1968, The Grateful Dead recorded and assembled their second album. "Anthem of The Sun" was a mix of recorded studio tracks as well as live tapes blended together in order to create something sonically new. What they created was their most experimental album ever and a landmark of the Psychedelic era.  Also...If you would, please make a donation of love and hope to St. Jude Children's HospitalMake an impact on the lives of St. Jude kids - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (stjude.org)Listen to previous shows at the main webpage at:https://www.buzzsprut.com/1329053Other Items of Interest:Pamela Des Barres Home page for books, autographs, clothing and online writing classes.Pamela Des Barres | The Official Website of the Legendary Groupie and Author (pameladesbarresofficial.com)Kathy Bushnell Website for Emily Muff bandHome | Kathy Bushnell | Em & MooListen to more music by Laurie Larson at:Home | Shashké Music and Art (laurielarson.net)View the most amazing paintings by Marijke Koger-Dunham (Formally of the 1960's artists collective, "The Fool").Psychedelic, Visionary and Fantasy Art by Marijke Koger (marijkekogerart.com)For your astrological chart reading, contact Astrologer Tisch Aitken at:https://www.facebook.com/AstrologerTisch/I'm listed in Feedspot's "Top 10 Psychedelic Podcasts You Must Follow". https://blog.feedspot.com/psychedelic_podcasts/Support the showPlease feel free to donate or Tip Jar the show at my Venmo account@jessie-DelgadoII

This week on the Deadpod, we roll into the second set from the band's show at Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, on February 21, 1982. The set kicks off with a lively China → Rider that flows effortlessly into a spacious Estimated Prophet. The jam here has a jazzy, relaxed vibe, with Bobby laying down some especially tasteful rhythmic textures. Eyes of the World follows — played at that brisk early-'80s tempo that might not be everyone's favorite, but Garcia's soaring fills more than make up for it. After Drums and Space, the band launches into a fascinating Not Fade Away, led off by a wonderful Phil Lesh intro that gradually gathers steam as each player adds their voice to the mix. It builds into a full-on whirlwind, topped by some of Bobby's trademark calls to the crowd. A heartfelt Brokedown Palace encore closes things out beautifully after a spirited Sugar Magnolia.   Grateful Dead Pauley Pavilion - University of California Los Angeles, CA 2/21/1982 - Sunday Two     China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider > Estimated Prophet > Eyes Of The World > Drums > Space > Not Fade Away > Stella Blue > Sugar Magnolia Encore     Brokedown Palace You can listen to this week's Deadpod here:  http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod022726.mp3 Thank you so much for your kind support

In this episode Jason discusses the legacy of the Grateful Dead after the passing of Bob Weir, closely on the heels of the death of Phil Lesh in late 2024. He views the Dead through a lens larger than their music, including their ethics, their business innovations, and the community they built that stands in ever greater contrast to the dominant American culture of crass consumerism, greed, inauthenticity, and vulgarity. The DZA website is here.

Marin County singer-songwriter, community and music collaborator Jon Chi joins “Only In The Green Room” as the first guest under the show's new banner—recorded in the Sweetwater Music Hall Green Room before Jon played to a packed house for his birthday show at the iconic venue. In a conversation full of gratitude, community love, and live-music philosophy, Jon reflects on how the Terrapin scene helped shape his musical orbit, why vulnerability is where the magic lives, and how live shows remain irreplaceable—no matter what AI does to recorded music. Special guests Stephanie Salva (Tumbleweed Soul) and Elliot Peck (Midnight North, Phil Lesh & Friends) pop in before joining Jon on stage, adding stories about collaborations, harmonies, and the deep relationships built through the Bay Area music community. Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host Creators & Guests Tami Larson - Host Dennis Strazulo - Host   The “how lucky am I to have stumbled into this community?” moment—and why Jon leads with love The Terrapin Crossroads/Marin/Bay Area musician ecosystem (and all the overlap that makes it work) - spawning collaborations and lasting friendships Jon's musical roots: Massachusetts → Berklee College of Music → Bay Area scene The JP McClean (Melvin Seals JGB)) origin story: their first day as students at Berklee,  a chart that looked like “hieroglyphics,” and instant respect  Vulnerability on stage: choosing connection over perfection The “Yoga Mafia” crossover: how Now Yoga in Corte Madera became part of the music ecosystem Dead nights + mashups: blending Bee Gees, Biggie, Lou Reed, and more into jam setsWidespread Panic as Jon's “first jam band show”—and later collaborating with bassist Dave SchoolsThe passing-down tradition: Jon's kids performing and singing at shows Guest drop-ins: Stephanie shares what she's working on (Tumbleweed Soul, new trio, gigs with Dave Nelson Band) Elliot talks first duo collaboration with Jon, returning from hiatus, and community support Jon Chi's Birthday Show All-Star lineup: Sean Nelson — Drums Angeline Saris — bass Jordan Feinstein — keys Minglewood Lewis Jr. — percussion Patrick Byers, Natalie John, Andrew Ferren - Horns Elliott Peck and Stephanie Salva - Vocals Memorable moments & quotes: “I mean, I want to talk about how much I love everyone.” “I'd rather make a bunch of mistakes on stage and stay open to connect with people.” “If you're willing to share vulnerabilities, that's where deeper relationships grow.” “Even if AI disrupts recorded music—how do you ever replace live music?” Topics that hit hard: Why this scene works: It's collaborative, supportive, and built on people being decent humans and strong musicians.Why live music wins: Because it's shared presence, unrepeatable moments, and real connection.Why mashups matter: They expand the audience and keep traditions alive without turning them into copies. If you're new here… This episode is a love letter to the Bay Area's live music ecosystem—where jam culture, original music, yoga communities, and deep friendships all collide in the best way.Tags  John Chi, Only in the Green Room, Sweetwater Music Hall, Terrapin Crossroads community, Bay Area music scene, jam band culture, live music podcast, Grateful Dead community, improv music, vulnerability on stage, post-COVID live music, Now Yoga Corte Madera, Elliot Peck, Stephanie Tumbleweed Soul, Dave Schools, Widespread Panic

Chris and Jim share their thoughts about the musician they have seen and recorded well over 100 times through the years, Bobby Weir.

Weir helped to create the San Francisco sound of the 1960's, bringing a Western Music influence to the Grateful Dead with his covers of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Marty Robbins songs. He creates a unique approach to the guitar, writes some great songs, and becomes the front man for the weirdest band in town. Grab your pink guitars and short short shorts while Chris and Jim talk all things Bob, explain the "More Fun than a Frog in a Glass of Milk" view of life and tell you how to find the best parking lot grilled cheese. Thanks for the ride Bob, it was mighty big fun.
