Phladelphia Stream

Rocking the ...tober on Shakedown Stream. The Philly Spectrum is ending it's venue-ness at the end of this month. Ergo, we are celebrating the life of this grand old place by playing a full spectrum of Grateful Dead shows on Shakedown Stream - mvyradio.com's very own grateful dead show.

Most stadiums are bad for sound because they were designed to be sports arenas. For some reason, the Philly Spectrum had good sound. Who knows why, I guess they got lucky. We have two more streams to feature this month of Rocktober. Find out this Tuesday at 5pm on mvyradio.com, what I select out of the 50 or so shows from the Philly spectrum. "Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around."

Grateful Dead: Rocktober in Philly!

The Philly Spectrum is coming down. Yet, before they officially end the place, October is Rocktober for the Philly Spectrum on Shakedown Stream. I wish there were more weeks in the month so we could stream lots of the Grateful Dead shows at the Spectrum over the years. We will, however, pick different shows so as to cover the best spectrum of shows. Of course, 1973 is thought to be one of great years, ergo, we will pay homage to both year and venue.

Tear This Old Building Down!

The Philly Spectrum, site of over 50 Grateful Dead shows, is scheduled to be demolished sometime early next year. October is the last month for any and all performances at the Spectrum, with Pearl Jam as the final band to jam at the legendary venue.

The Spectrum was always a special destination for East Coast Deadheads. The Grateful Dead played more shows at the Spectrum than any other venue on the East Coast - 53 to be exact. Join me as we spotlight Philly Spectrum shows for the entire month of October. May 4, 1981 will be the first show to get us going this week. Peace, Jer Bear.
