The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Jan 5th, 2018Fri, 01/05/2018 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week on the Golden Road, we are going for the trifecta of Grateful Dead New Years shows with a trip to Daly City, California and its famed Cow Palace for Grateful Dead music recorded live on New Year’s Eve 1976. After hitting their stride in the fall, December 31st, 1976 found the band in fine form, having fun on stage, and setting the table for 1977, one of the most memorable Grateful Dead years, ever. This was a very good show with many highlights as you shall hear. |

Up this week is the second set from this very fine show. The set starting and ending Not Fade Away is a NFA sandwich filled with musical treats with a side of Branford Marsalis, who sits in on saxophone. There is some mighty fine music in the offing this week and is the last live broadcast of 2017. |

The Golden Road for 7:30pm on Dec 8th, 2017Fri, 12/08/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week on the Golden Road, DJ Lee is featuring what he calls “IA Tunes.” What are IA Tunes you may ask? Well the short answer is songs about railroads, coal mining, steel mills, and labor. These songs will run the gamut from the romance of the railroad to life in the mines to the loss and despair caused by deindustrialization. DJ Lee has been thinking about this show’s content for some time, and the inspiration for this show dates back to the early 1990s as an idea for a mix tape that was never completed, until now! |

When Brent Mydland joined the band in April 1979, he immediately injected new energy into the music and after six months of touring, the band was firing on all cylinders at these New Years shows! |

We will be Scaring the Children with Bob and Rob and then some good old Grateful Dead music from the Great American Music Hall but first a few tasty musical treats. |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Nov 17th, 2017Fri, 11/17/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week the Golden Road is very pleased to host a pair of special guests. Our first guest needs no introduction, as he is well known around these parts: DJ Rodriguez, and our second guest is a friend of DJ’s Lee and Rodriguez from the old days on Dead Net Central: Craig Camus. Craig is a taper and he is bringing some cherry-picked tunes chosen from shows he has recorded in the years since Jerry passed. The Dirt will studio will be rocking this week |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Nov 10th, 2017Fri, 11/10/2017 - 9:10pm | Lee MaddexThis week the Golden Road takes us to San Francisco and the corner of Post and Steiner for Grateful Dead music record live at the Winterland on November 9-10-11, 1973. The centerpiece of this week’s show is, of course, the forty four minute musical palindrome of Playing in the Band->Uncle John’s Band->Morning Dew->UJB->PITB, which the Dead played a few times in late 1973 and early 1974. Great stuff, that is really cool and totally Grateful Dead |

We are now up to the third host on Golden Road. How can KDRT have three winners in a row? Alligator is the latest star lighting the way down the Road, and an informed host he is bringing bits of Dead history and info to add to the show fun. Tune in for a good time.
Thanks to Lee for bringing some great vintage Dead to our ears! We love the program!
