Grateful Dead and Friends

Hey now; Phil G here; on the final day of KBOO's "Louder than Light" membership drive, I am pleased to present a follow-up conversation withProducer, Bassist, and Blue-Note Records label President Don Was. Don and his band, The Pan-Detroit Ensemble, will be playing at th...

Though alive at the time, I had no clue about The Grateful Dead in 1976.  Thus, I couldn't share in the undoubtedly gargantuan excitement among Dead Freaks at the time when it was learned that there would soon me more live Dead shows. And what shows they were - clear...

Phil G here, this week we hit the first Saturday of KBOO's Louder than Light Spring/Summer Membership drive so I grabbed an assortment of new Releases from Jerry Garcia Family Provisions (Garcia/Saunders live in 1971!), The Grateful Dead (1973!!!) , and some GD-adjacent ...

Following a successful battle against cancer last year, guitarist Bob Weir died January 10th, 2026 due to lung issues.  Performing live perhaps more than any rock musician, Bobby's first career was 30 years in The Grateful Dead where he meticulously carved niches of c...

I know I said this show would be in May, but I honestly couldn't pull enough material together I wanted for the next 'What Shall We Say?', and I had a bunch of audio in mind for this show, so I switcherooed. This assortment of 2025 JRAD is almost half Dead, so you shou...

Sun here. This week's Anthem of the Sun will feature 4/10/82, the only date that Jerry Garcia played solo and I'll be playing most of the late show. Then in the 2nd hour, we'll be listening to Tedeschi Trucks Band with Warren Haynes on 3/20/26. Then we get into a Jazz is ...

Sun here. March is Women's History Month so on my show Saturday, there will be an overarching theme around women and a small beautiful one around rain. The first hour is all Grateful Dead. The 2nd hour will be more eclectic featuring Jerry Garcia, Joe Russo's Almost Dead,...

Phil G here, Last month, in a rush, I sent in the wrong showfile, so y'all got to "re-hear" my tribute from November to Donna Jean Godchaux-McKay. This time, i'm *pretty sure* that I sent in the right file (I'll be on a job so I can't be live) for y'all to enjoy. As I w...

Phil G here, This week I'm going to be paying tribute to the late Bobby Weir by exploring music he made outside the Grateful Dead bubble. There will be sit-ins, other projects, and lots of his own songs that were not played with the Grateful Dead. I'm betting that some o...

Phil G here, I'll be playing some of my fave releases and live shows from this year (plus I may sneak some other stuff in). Music from Grateful Dead and Members, Jorma Kaukonen, David Nelson Band, Skeleton Crewe, Oregon Country Fair, and more! Tune in and Support KBOO! P...

With this largely awful year nearly behind us, I figured why not end on a particularly high note. So it's with some fanfare that I present a new (probably) three part, rather intermittent series of shows dubbed 'Not Quite New Years.' Each broadcast will be a compilatio...
