Tales From The Lot - Grateful Dead Show Experiences

Ever found yourself reminiscing about your first psychedelic experience while listening to the Grateful Dead? Or how about that time when you unearthed your love for genres you didn't even know existed? Join my dear friend Kurt and I as we take a trip down memory lane, discussing our shared love for music, and our unforgettable concert experiences including our time at the Grateful Dead concert at Deer Creek in 1992. Kurt opens up about his musical journey, how he transitioned from '80s rap to alternative music, and eventually got hooked on the Grateful Dead.
A trip to our younger days wouldn't be complete without our local hangouts and our penchant for camping and Waffle House visits. Remember the era of cassette tapes, copying our favorite music, and sharing it with each other? Kurt relives these moments, along with our longest concert at the World Mardi Gras watching P-Funk. He also introduces us to his passion for MIDI music.

Our musical journey doesn't stop there. We also explore the modern bands that have caught our attention. Bands like Goose, with their amazing guitar player, and Corey Wong's funk-rock sound. We dive into the realm of 'sad dad music', particularly the tunes of Gregory Alan Isakov. And who could forget the exceptional drumming of Bill Kreuzman from the Grateful Dead's early days? Tune in for an episode steeped in music, memories, and laughter.

Join us as we journey through George's transformation from a club kid to a devoted Deadhead, and get a glimpse of the Grateful Dead culture through his eyes.

TFTL Ep 21 You Were All Part of the Band - Englishtown, NJ 9/3/1977

Join us on a sonic journey as Tommy Kennedy takes us from the electric buzz of a Bob Dylan fandom to the psychedelic swirl of becoming a Grateful Dead convert. The episode kicks off with Tommy's rich storytelling, painting the scene of his first Grateful Dead concert where the air was thick with excitement and faces were adorned with vibrant paints. His tales extend beyond the music, revealing the tapestry of experiences that hooked him into the Dead's unique culture, and how one album, "Wake of the Flood," served as the catalyst for this transformation. We navigate through Tommy's recollections of the contrast between East and West Coast Dead shows, the ingenuity of sneaking an ice chest into venues, and the community spirit that saw him through an incredible 187 concerts.
As the conversation unfurls, we find ourselves reflecting on the broader picture of music appreciation, evoking memories of a time when ticket prices were a fraction of today's costs and each venue had its own distinct atmosphere. We share laughs over a Bobby Vinton concert and wax nostalgic about the Grateful Dead's dual drummers and the shift in their performance sound.
The episode culminates with a heart-to-heart about I Hike for Mental Health www.hikeformentalhealth.org, a nonprofit co-founded by Tommy after a chance encounter that married his love for hiking with a cause close to his heart. We examine how hitting the trails can be a balm for the mind and the critical importance of mental health research and trail preservation, efforts that Tommy's organization champions. A touching tribute to Brent, the "new guy" who left an everlasting imprint on the Grateful Dead, rounds out our discussion. His legacy, like the music of the Dead, continues to resonate with fans old and new, a testament to the enduring power of community and song.
