In this edition of The Golden Road, we climb in the Wayback Machine and set the controls for Providence, Rhode Island for a truly magnificent set by the Grateful Dead recorded live on June 26, 1974. This show was one that employed the band's infamous Wall Of Sound...the greatest sound reinforcement system ever to be placed on a stage. Also included is some choice live Jerry Garcia Band material for a return to the good ol' planet Earth!

Here's a real cool vid of the Wall of Sound being assembled at San Francisco's fabled Winterland Arena prior to their October 1974 run:

About Wayne Hagen

Wayne is a founding member of the California Jug Band Association (CJBA) and a member of its Board of Directors. In 2002 Wayne and his banjo-playing buddy Andy began the International Jug Band Festival in Sutter Creek, California. The festival has given birth to new jug band festivals as far away as Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the CJBA.

Wayne has been playing jug since 1979 and he'll pull out his jug and play with anyone. He also tries to play the mandolin and is a big fan of Vol Stevens and Yank Rachell. His passion for jug band music has turned him into a walking encyclopedia of the genre. Go ahead, ask him a question -- we dare ya. He says that getting a chance to share his love for jug band music on KDRT is a great joy.
