California Counterpoints

from Celebrate Creativity Hosted by George Bartley

Send us Fan Mail Today’s pairing may look odd until you start really listening: The Beach Boys and The Grateful Dead. Two California bands. Two American institutions. Two completely different ideas of what a band is for. One built pop cathedrals in the studio and spent decades trying to bring that sound to the stage. The other built a moving city on the road and treated the studio almost like a postcard from their real life’s work. Let’s spend some time with both—and with the very different concert worlds they created. Support the show Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
