Dead Music for Movies?

The Grateful Dead will allow access to their rather extensive archive of music for movies. It is the first time that such an arrangement has been made possible by the boys. A movie featuring the Grateful Dead music is in the works.

The Streamer's Are Voting

... and swirling to the music of the Grateful Dead. That's the Deal for the month of November on mvyradio's Shakedown Stream - a Grateful Dead podcast. For the past three weeks - in celebration of the supporters of Shakedown Stream - Jer Bear has been posting a selection of live Dead shows for the supporters to vote for. Last week's vote included a recent Furthur show from New Hampshire - it won the most votes and was featured on this week's Stream. The momentum is growing - every week is receiving more and more votes. Join us for another round of voting with a new selection of shows from Legion of Mary, RatDog and of course, the Grateful Dead. Peace, JerBear

Furthur Review

I've been part of the Stream for several years... absolutely love the Stream... I used to commute my 34 minutes each way for work and finish concerts each week. Thanks for all you do for us. For the past couple of years I've been mulling over my TOP TEN... but I found that it tended to shift with the weather, time of year, my activities, etc. So... its been sort of like chasing the wind. However, on Saturday evening, I was at the Wilkes-Barre Furthur concert... WOW... I believe I heard my top 19 in a row... the first set was a great honky-tonk set with Chimenti lighting it up with his piano and the Wurlitzer... ten minute jams of Hell in a Bucket, Mississippi Half-step, Big Bad Blues followed by an eleven minute Althea... the jams were exceptional... with my eyes closed, John K. was Jerry... and his guitar was (this may be sacrireligious) cleaner than Jerry without sacrificing creativity (I've heard him with Dark Star in the past... but
this was clearly transcendent)... the second set was clearly the best set I've ever heard... an Eyes that blew us away into a Fire on the Mountain that was true to the original but almost an up-date that was cleaner and tighter than I've ever heard... along with a Dear Prudence, Help/Slipknot, Franklin's Tower and closed with a Knockin' on Heaven's Door that Bobby
nailed... 

The Eleven on 11/11/11

11/11/11 is a unique and curious mathematical occurrence. It is said to be beginning of the age of Aquarius. Anyway, last night, Bobby & Phil continued to go Furthur with playing The Eleven as the encore in Syracuse, NY. 
Also, has anyone noticed that John K and Phil have switched sides on stage?

Phil Lesh scraps plans for Terrapin

"Phil Lesh scraps plans for Terrapin Crossroads music hall in Fairfax," says recent headline  in Marin Independent Journal posted 11/08/11 by Richard Halstead. I have mentioned Phil's plan to have a barn-type studio where he could jam, much like Levon Helm's in upstate New York. Unfortunately, it does not look like it is going happen.

Streaming in Scotland

We have a friend and fellow streamer from Scotland. Check out what he had to say in his email to Jer Bear - the host of mvyradio's Grateful Dead show "Shakedown Stream" 

Jer Bear,
Discovered the Stream June of this year - pick up the podcasts here in Scotland. Love the length and the comments by your good self. You are basically my soundtrack to the weekend.

Saw Grateful Dead in England (Bickershaw Festival) in 1971 or 1972, in Edinburgh around 1980 and again at Wembley Arena England 1990. Still a few Deadheads in this part of the world

Thanks for keeping it going.

Paradise Waits in 1984

The featured show this week on Shakedown Stream is the 2nd night of a three night run at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. Last week, we enjoyed the 1st night - Friday the 13th with a full moon with a Dark Star encore - How Sweet It Was! WE go forward to the next night with a Help>Slip>Franklin's 2nd set opener and special guest Matt Kelly on harmonica. 

This show does not receive great reviews, but may reflect some tiredness from Jerry and the Boys from the night before. However, we are still in the Scarlet>Fire - Help>Slip>Franklin's - China>Rider reverie this month. 

What kind of deadhead are you? 

A real truth is never based on facts or labels anyway. The Truth is a plural - ongoing changing thing. The conversation continues to expand.

1984 - Next weeks featured show on Shakedown Stream is the 1st night of a three night stand at the Berkeley Community Theatre. We are paying 
attention to the Scarlet>Fires, China>Riders and Help>Slip>Franklin's - they are the most popular opening tunes for the 2nd sets of 1984. 

"After the second set the band left the stage and the lights went down and they unveiled some large screens. Everyone was filled with anticipation because they started showing photos af Stars, Galaxies, Planets, and the like. Then Phil came out and stepped up to the mike and said, "We're going to do something special for you; one night and one night only.""

The Stream continues to wind around and through the live music of the Grateful Dead on mvyradio.com every week.
