Join us for a ride in the Wayback Machine as we go to June 8, 1974 and the 2nd Day On The Green ever promoted by Bill Graham in Oakland Stadium.  On the bill that day was Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, The Beach Boys and of course, the show was headlined by The Grateful Dead.  You'll hear them all on KDRT and The Golden Road, Friday May 23rd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Here's the show poster...were you there?!

Hey all! 

Just wanted to shate a few helpful videos that our much loved Pietr Pastoor has made. The first involves help creating a blog, and the second discusses how to save your recorded shows. I hope you all find them as helpful as I did!

Some vocals by Billie Holiday, Anita O’Day, and Ella Fitzgerald; some cool jazz from Miles Davis, Billy Taylor, Kenny Burrell, and Gerry Mulligan with Chet Baker. A little funk from Howard Roberts. It’s an eclectic hour of mellow jazz tonight.

Six decades of jazz!

An hour of soul jazz and bop; featured artist Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

Jesse Deere and Joe Fike join me in the studio for a lively discussion about the benifits of vinyl vs. compact Discs. As a treat we will be playing some vintage vinyl... 

By the end of the show you will be educated to the benifits of both.

In this broadcast of The Grapevine, we hit the streets with a soulful beat!  In addition to some of the all-time soul sounds by artists such as James Brown, Isaac Hayes & Sly Stone, we have some brand spanking new material from the Ged Soul record label out of Nashville that nails it.

Here's the link to the April 30th broadcast:
