On Sunday, May 2nd, The Golden Road will take the cover off of the shiny, gleaming spaceship and take 'er for a spin around the cosmos...it's been awhile!
Our featured sounds will be from a 1996 release entitled, "Gray Folded". This release was produced by a fellow named John Oswald who was given an open door to the Grateful Dead's legendary archival recordings vault. Once inside the hallowed halls of the vault, Oswald culled portions of over 50 live versions of the Dead's all-time improvisational & experimental tune, "Dark Star", and blended them into a sonic journey that is unlike anything you have ever heard before.
As Jerry Garcia once said in an interview, "I have a long continuum of "Dark Stars" which range in character to real different extremes. Dark Star has meant, while i'm playing it, almost as many things as I could imagine."
During this broadcast, recordings from the Merry Pranksters "social mixer" events will also be part of the sonic tapestry on hand.
Tune in live from 7 - 9 pm or catch the replays on Friday, May 7th (10 pm - 12 midnite) or Saturday, May 8th (3 - 5 pm)...or, of course, any ol' time at the K-Dirt website.
