The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Oct 6th, 2017Fri, 10/06/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week, the Golden Road takes us across the Good Old USA to Tidewater Virginia and the Hampton Coliseum and then wends its way up the East Coast to the New Jersey Meadowlands for Grateful Dead music from the Fall 1989 Tour. This tour was notable for the first full blown use of the Dead’s new in-instrument synthesizers (MIDI) and the return of Dark Star to the band’s song catalog. |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Sep 29th, 2017Fri, 09/29/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexThis week, the Golden Road makes a return visit to the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland for Grateful Dead music recorded live on September 25th, 1976. Now long gone, the Cap Centre was the scene of many memorable Grateful Dead concerts, including DJ Lee’s first Dead show, the show featured this week! |
The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Sep 22nd, 2017Fri, 09/22/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexTonight, on the Golden Road, we set the way back machine for October 12th, 1984 and the Augusta Civic Center for the second set of this epic Grateful Dead show. The Dead always played exceptionally well in Maine (eighteen shows in all), and this Augusta Civic show may just be their best Maine show ever! Jerry was in the house on this Friday evening and every song had that extra little something special, particularly the monstrous Morning Dew that closed the second set! This show is worthy of its legendary status!

The Golden Road for 7:00pm on Sep 15th, 2017Fri, 09/15/2017 - 9:05pm | Lee MaddexTonight the Golden Road takes us to San Jose, California for music from the one-off Jerry Garcia Band show at the Saddle Rack. “The Rack,” as it was known, opened in 1976. It was a hot spot for Country Western music and with the club’s two stages, six bars and a mechanical bull (hmm, I wonder if Jerry took a turn?), the venue was the largest of its sort in NorCal. JGB’s March 7th, 1982 Saddle Rack show has to be one of the most unusual venues the band ever played and Jerry definitely came to play as we shall hear this evening!

First off we are saying goodbye to Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, who passed away last weekend. We will remember Walter with a selection of tunes from the Steely Dan catalog. Rounding out the show are a couple songs by guitar wizard Henry Kaiser from his album Those Who Know History Are Doomed to Repeat It and then Pig Pen will step up to the microphone to close out the show with Alligator.

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!
