As you know by now, we'd certainly have voted aye on this motion, so much so, that we've loaded up DAVE'S PICKS 49 with not one, but two complete Grateful Dead shows from the Frost Amphitheatre, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA 4/27/85 and 4/28/85.

Today, January 19th, 2024, we pay homage to a man who was as enigmatic as he was influential, a figure whose impact on the Grateful Dead, and indeed the entire 60s counterculture, resonates profoundly even today. Owsley "Bear" Stanley III, a genuine alchemist of sound and chemistry, would have celebrated his birthday today.

Prepare to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the golden era of psychedelic blues and the seeds of the 'jam band' scene as Live Dead and Brothers take the stage. Comprising actual and legacy members from the extended Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers families, this exceptional ensemble is set to revive the timeless magic of the late 1960s and early 1970s, bringing fans an experience like no other.

Old and In the Way were (ironically) mostly not old – and certainly not at all in anyone’s way! – when they gathered in 1973 to play about 50 live shows. Fiddler Vassar Clements, born in 1928 and having joined Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys at 21, was still under 50. The other members of OAITW were only about 30 at the time, give or take a few years.

Sturgill Simpson and Bob Weir made guest appearances during Orebolo's Friday night set on the opening day of Dead Ahead festival last night. Orebolo is a Goose acoustic side project featuring Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, and Jeff Arevalo (who plays drums for Goose but is on stand-up bass in this band).

Step into a world where music and history intertwine at the legendary Black Oak Ranch, affectionately known as the Hog Farm and the home of the iconic Wavy Gravy since the epoch of Woodstock. This cherished site, which in the early 90s echoed with the strums of Jerry Garcia and later celebrated the famed Pignic, has been the proud host of the renowned Kate Wolf Festival for over two decades.

On this day, January 11th, 2024, we at Grateful Web celebrate what would have been Albert Hofmann's birthday. His serendipitous discovery of LSD not only revolutionized the field of psychopharmacology but also left an indelible mark on the cultural and musical landscapes of the 20th century.
