Dead Show of the Month

DSOTM#147 - 6/12/80

This months podcast takes us to the Summer of '80, when the Dead were able to play to such volcanic proportions they literally blew the top off of a local mountain.   Kind of.   For half time we get treated to some great out takes of Garcia and his PERRO friends doing their thing.  An enjoyable ride from an era we don't touch on too much here at DSOTM.

NOTE:   The first minute or so of this show is pretty rough, but it gets better!

DSOTM # 56 (Flashback) - 6/4/78

This month marks the 4 Year Anniversary of "Bob" becoming our full time co-host.  Having met "Bob" in line for tickets in 1993, he's been my buddy for years and always someone I turned to for my goofy curious nature about eras past... it seemed obvious to have him sit in with me on the podcast.  So, for this Flashback, we journey back to June of 2011, the first time that "Bob" came over and was my guest.   The show and the filler are pretty good too!
