Shakedown Stream - July 7, 2009

We are all set and ready to stream. The premiere of this week's podcast - starting at 5pm on myradio.com - will have something for everyone. In the 1st hour,we will hear some classic Grateful Dead chestnuts and a tune from The Dead's '09 spring tour. However, I am most pleased to be airing Part 1- an interview with Mark Karan along with a couple of the songs from his new CD "Walking Through the Fire." We'll also hear some RatDog - who started their summer tour on July 5th - and The Bear Essentials will celebrate the birthday of Joan Osborne - July 8th.

The feature show this week: 40 years ago on July 7th, 1969, the Grateful Dead played a free afternoon concert in Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Georgia (Someone following me on Twitter suggested I play a '69 show). And because the feature is a shorter show than most of our feature shows, we will have a lot of extra time for some sweet stuff afterwards - like Jerry Garcia from 1979 with a horn section as well as something for the Buck Moon of July. You won't want to miss it - we have not featured a '69 show in awhile. It is time for some primal Dead.
