Show notes

Thanks for tuning in! Hope you enjoy, and have a great day!

Shannon LaBrie on Past, Present, Future, Live!This week, I got to sit down with singer, songwriter and excellent musician Shannon LaBrie. She’s made her way from Nebraska to Nashville, with a lot of stops in between. Her unique voice has led to comparisons to Norah Jones, Jeff Buckley, and many others. Her songwriting style has evolved, and her current album, which was all recorded live to tape, has themes of emerging from struggle to a new place of redemption and clarity. As always, she plays a few exclusive tracks, and we share one of them on this episode!

Phil and Grahame Lesh on Eric Krasno Plus One.In this episode of Plus One, Eric welcomes Phil and Grahame Lesh. Phil talks about switching from violin to bass when Jerry asked him to join The Dead, and how he continued to find inspiration in the classical bass lines of Brahms and Bach. They also discuss the origin of Phil’s truly special music venue Terrapin Crossroads which opened in 2012—its origin, its legacy, and how it birthed The Terrapin Family Band with his son Grahame and others.

Dick’s Picks 13 on 36 From the Vault.This new episode features Steve and Rob going into Dick’s Picks Vol. 13, from Nassau Coliseum on 5/6/81.

Bob Dylan “Under the Red Sky” on Late Era. On this new episode of Late Era, they dig into an album that even Wikipedia says “was largely greeted as a strange and disappointing follow-up to 1989's critically acclaimed Oh Mercy.” Sam, Winston and Andy dive in and look at the strangeness of this record, the cameos, the time when it was made, and whether there’s anything worth going back to here. A snippet of this episode is included here for your listening pleasure!

Steve Parish on Comes A Time. In this episode, Oteil and Mike welcome Steve Parish, longtime crew member for the Grateful Dead and close friend of Jerry Garcia. The three talk about the Dead’s early days in San Francisco, Steve’s career with the band, from roadie to manager; and, why the Dead could be a model for how we should live our lives today. Steve tells Oteil and Mike what he learned 10 years after the legendary 1978 Grateful Dead concert in Egypt, and about that time he delivered a baby while Bob Weir was writing the song “Cassidy.” This is a not-to-be missed episode.

This show is from 10/5/2002 in Spotsylvania, VA. “This festival took place during the height of the D.C. Sniper shootings in Virginia just off of I-95. The Disco Biscuits were the only late-night act on their own secondary woods stage. Using the Rich Steele Remaster of John Madigan’s AUD source, it’s one of the best audience pulled Disco Biscuits recordings of all time.”
