"Now watch as the ball revolves And the night time falls Again the hunt begins Again the bloodwind calls"
In conceiving Road Trips, the first archive series to emerge after the Grateful Dead initiated their business partnership with Rhino Records, the intent was to highlight significant phases of the band's performing career without impinging on previous reissues, in particular the highly esteemed Dick's Picks series. To that end, the basic premise of Road Trips is not complete concerts but rather selections from a specific phase of Dead history.
The second installment in the first volume focuses on the fall of 1977 when the band returned to the road with a collective vigor after completion of two time-consuming projects: The Grateful Dead Movie (1976) and the Terrapin Station (Arista, 1977) studio recording. Portions of this set cull ever-so-slightly from previous DP's, but the bulk, as is the intent, is made up of never before officially released performances finding the Grateful Dead in their favorite milieu—the musicians stretching out into a series of lengthy improvisations and segues that contain their (and the band's) own peculiar logic.
From Billboard.com March 28, 2008, 11:05 AM ET Gary Graff, Detroit
A Barack Obama presidential candidacy may give Grateful Dead fans reason to rejoice this year.
The Dead's surviving members got together in February to perform at a Deadheads for Obama rally in San Francisco. "It was our first straight-up political event ever," notes guitarist Bob Weir, who's now on the road with his band Ratdog. "We had fun." And, Weir tells Billboard.com, the group, which is largely dormant these days, may want to have a little more fun in the near future.
"I would be surprised if we don't get around to playing again at some point," he says. "But, really, my hot hand right now is Ratdog, and I think that goes for Phil (Lesh) with his group, and Mickey (Hart) has his project and Billy (Kreutzmann) is sort of happily retired over in Hawaii. But we'll get together again. I'm sure of that." Click here for the full article.
Small-town Alabama girl, not long out of high school, journeys to the West Coast at the close of the ’60s. The Grateful Dead hired her and her newfound love. A decade later after her lover’s death, she raises their son, helps revive the band they started together, remarries, births another boy, winds up making music with the whole family—band mate husband and kids plus assorted gifted friends—and eventually makes her way home again.
Donna Jean Godchaux-McKay was already a hit singer when she left for California, having lent backup vocals to records by Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge and others, often showing up for a recording session from cheerleading practice, still wearing her uniform.
Elvis brought her up to Memphis to sing on his 1969 comeback album. She sings on “Suspicious Minds” and “In the Ghetto,” and maybe also on “Kentucky Rain,” the sad, shimmering single from those same sessions. Is that really her echoing Elvis’s choked-up “walking through ... with the rain in my shoes?”
"With so much great music played throughout the Grateful Dead's history during the latter part of March, we'll jump right in with some tasty stuff from Spring of 1990."
Archive.org has 16 recordings from 10 different shows played on this date...including one of the few 1975 shows the band performed...some are downloads others streams...years covered are 1972 - 95...
"David Todd Rawlings is a professional guitarist...best known as the longtime musical partner of bluegrass singer-songwriter Gillian Welch....He is also known...as a producer, having produced Welch and bands such as Old Crow Medicine Show. He has recently performed under the billing of "The Dave Rawlings Machine". He has also contributed to the Bright Eyes album Cassadaga, the Ryan Adams album Heartbreaker, and the Robyn Hitchcock album Spooked."
The January 2008 San Francisco and Portland shows are now available for download in both MP3-128 and high quality lossless FLAC formats. You can purchase bundles of these two runs along with others from the fall 2007 tour including New York City, Boston, and Chicago.

Deadheads for Obama T-Shirt
The Deadheads for Obama event t-shirt from the February 4, 2008 show at The Warfield in San Francisco is now available. This historic performance in support of Barack Obama featured Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir sharing a stage together for the first time since 2004."
