Wavy Gravy is an American entertainer and peace activist best known for his role at Woodstock, as well as for his contributions to the counterculture movement in the 1960s.

To counter this exploitation of fans, he created CashorTrade.org, the world's only social network where real fans buy, sell, and trade tickets for face value and avoid scalpers.

Show notes

This week on Comes A Time Mike and Oteil are joined by the hosts of the Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast, Jesse Jarnow and Rich Mahan, for a riveting hour of conversation on why the Dead were so good at channeling emotion through music, how Jesse and Rich create a Grateful Dead time machine through their podcast, and just how abnormal a Dead show was in comparison to any other rock concert. They also discuss the acutely particular circumstances that allowed the Dead to have the level of success that they did, a funny story about Jerry thinking that European deadheads are the same as American deadheads only with accents, why Jesse avoids ranking their music, and what might have been fueling the wild and exploratory versions of “Dark Star” during the Europe ‘72 tour.

Adam Deitch and Jesus Coomes Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of Comes A Time, Adam Deitch and Erick “Jesus” Coomes of Lettuce join the guys to talk about the present iteration of the band and their new album, Unify, how hip hop was a major part of Lettuce’s musical identity, and a story from Jesus about getting Kanye West’s number on his Nokia phone, and then jamming on “All Falls Down.” You’ll also hear about how Jesus and Adam met through a jam with “Lil’ John” Roberts, a deep dive on sampling and different variations of funk, and how the best musicians, including Oteil, are the most humble according to Jesus.

Lettuce is a funk band from Boston best known for their deep-pocket rhythms and buoyant instrumentation. Much of their unique style is propelled by their rhythm section- bassist Jesus Coomes and drummer Adam Deitch are the rhythmic force behind the sextet, each utilizing their experience working with legendary artists ranging from Eric Krasno to Kanye West to John Scofield. Approaching thirty years since their humble Boston beginnings, the relentlessly soulful funk outfit has essentially lived on the road, embodying, night after night, the sly wink of its moniker: “Let us play!” Their new album, Unify, comes out on June 3, and you can catch them on tour all throughout the summer!
