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! |

The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Dec 1st, 2017Fri, 12/01/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week the Golden Road takes us to Oakland, California and the Oakland Auditorium for a mix of Grateful Dead music recorded live December 28th and 30th, 1979. 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! |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Nov 24th, 2017Fri, 11/24/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week on the Golden Road, with a nod to Thanksgiving and all its good eats, we have a little of this and that, kind of like diving into leftovers on Friday. 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 |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Nov 3rd, 2017Fri, 11/03/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week the Golden Road takes us to the Berkeley, California for Grateful Dead music recorded live on August 25th, 1972 at the Berkeley Community Theatre. That’s right; this is the brand new, just arrived in the mail last week, Dave’s Picks 24 archival release. The band is fine form this evening (it’s 1972 after all) and it is a great recording to boot. |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Oct 27th, 2017Fri, 10/27/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexIt has been said that the Grateful Dead interpreted Bob Dylan’s music better than Dylan himself. DJ Lee tends to agree with this (to a point). So with great pleasure, we here at Golden Road have a special Fall Fundraiser show this week highlighting what we call the Dead-Play-Dylan. No, this is not music from Postcards of the Hanging (DJ Lee doesn’t even own the CD), but hand-selected Grateful Dead Dylan covers for your listening enjoyment. |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Oct 20th, 2017Fri, 10/20/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexDJ Lee is off this week, but fear not, we’ve got you covered, as we welcome back our intrepid former host and Golden Road creator, DJ Rodriguez (aka DJ Rod), as this week’s host, and rest assured, DJ Rodriguez without doubt has some great tune selections up his sleeve. |
The Golden Road for 7:30pm on Oct 13th, 2017Fri, 10/13/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week is a special edition of the Golden Road on the Dirt, with cherry-picked music by the Jerry Garcia Band (and a couple others artists) for DJ Lee’s wife Shelley, in celebration of their recent 20th Wedding Anniversary. |

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!
