Music - Lesh is More

2010-02-23T16:16:00.001-05:00

Hartford Advocate: Music - Lesh is More:

"In the years since Jerry Garcia's death, there have been numerous offshoot bands that featured surviving Dead members — but this one is, without a doubt, the best. Those who've dismissed the various incarnations of the past 15 years (including last year's reunion of 'The Dead') should have another listen."

Grateful For Furthur

2010-02-17T10:11:00.001-05:00

Grateful For Furthur | The Cornell Daily Sun: "Sweat. Drugs. Phil Lesh; Bob Weir. In a Barton Hall insulated by thousands of perspiring deadheads and the historical precedent set by the Grateful Dead in 1977, the two old-timers set the bar again, though this time with their more recent band, Furthur. The latest re-shuffling of remaining Grateful Dead members and other musicians who have become associated with their movement, Futhur arrived intent to recreate a show that many Dead fans rank among the best of all time: Barton Hall, May 8, 1977, a show remembered not only for the music but for the blizzard..."Read the full review here.

Contacting The Dead: Bob Weir talks about going Furthur with Phil Lesh

2010-02-15T11:13:00.000-05:00

Contacting The Dead: Bob Weir talks about going Furthur with Phil Lesh:

"Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia’s 1995 death not only brought an end to the band, but threatened the friendship of original members guitarist Bob Weir and bassist Phil Lesh as they wrangled over their future.

But getting together for another tour as The Dead last year, the two now have formed Furthur — the spelling is from the destination on 1960s LSD guru Ken Kesey’s bus – with member of Weir’s band Ratdog and the singer from a Dead tribute band...Weir spoke about the group in a recent telephone call from his bus in Asheville, N.C..."

Mickey Hart's Music of the Universe Reveals the Sound of Supernova - Tonic

2010-01-26T15:39:00.001-05:00

Mickey Hart's Music of the Universe Reveals the Sound of Supernova - Tonic:

"Drummer Mickey Hart teams up with Nobel Prize winning physicist George Smoot III in creating Rhythms of the Universe, bringing to life the sounds of the supernova...Hart has been pursuing space as a raw material for his art recently, and several examples of his creations are available on the Grateful Dead website. Rhythms of the Universe recently premiered at an astrophysics convention Hart and Smoot attended in Mexico...without doubt this fusion of musical creativity with cutting edge astrophysics successfully reaches for the stars in pushing the boundaries of creative expression and musical possibility."

Grateful Dead Top Charity Auction Earner For 2009:

"The top charity earner for 2009 has surprised many people, but is a testament to longevity in the music business. Ever since the Grateful Dead began its legendary career nearly 45 years ago, the band has supported worthy causes that serve to raise awareness, lend support, and make this world a better place. Continuing this long-standing tradition of community service that has been a hallmark of the Dead and the Deadhead community, The Dead, known as one of the greatest touring bands of all time, partnered with Charity Folks to auction a limited number of tickets to their 2009 shows.

The auctions raised over $400,000 for a number of charities, including the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society..."

Brent Mydland - 1982-xx-xx - Unreleased solo album 1982 - Audio Soundboard - SHN - Tapecity Live Music Sharing:

"Mydland recorded and mastered a solo album, but it was never released. Intended for this album were 'Tons Of Steel'with Monty Byron on guitar, 'Maybe You Know , 'Nobody's', 'Long Way To Go', and 'Dreams'.

Possibly the sessions discussed with Betty Cantor-Jackson in 'The DeadHeads Taping Compendium Vol 2'.

TDHTC: 'You recorded music for a Brent Mydland solo album that was never released, correct?'

Cantor-Jackson: 'Yeah, we worked on it for a year, between everything else. Phil used to come into the studio every night and sit down and listen with a
big grin on his face. He loved it. That was great stuff. It's the best of Brent and the best of me. Someday I'd really like to put it out. You can definitely hang out inside those mixes'"
