This week on the Golden Road, we are trucking up to Buffalo for the Grateful Dead recorded live at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (or just the “Aud”), on May 9th, 1977. The April-May 1977 Dead tour is legendary and among their all-time best tours. And we here at the Golden Road think the Aud show is arguably the finest show of the spring 1977 tour! So, you be the judge!

This week the Golden Road takes us to Philadelphia, Pa and up I-95 to East Rutherford, NJ for Grateful Dead music recorded live at JFK on July 7th, 1989 and Giants Stadium on July 9th & 10th, 1989. The band was on fire the Summer of 1989 and the music was blistering hot!

This week on the Golden Road, we set the wayback machine again to summer 1993 for part two of the Grateful Dead recorded live at the Buckeye Lake Music Theater in Hebron, Ohio on June 11th, 1993. This week we will hear the second set of this great show in its entirety (well almost)! Rounding out this week’s broadcast is more music from Deer Creek 1993. For Vince Welnick (1951-2006).

This week on the Golden Road, we are going to try something a little bit different. We are going to play tracks from the new Jerry Garcia: Before the Dead release and then play later versions of the same songs as performed by the Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia. But starting us off this week we are going “out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels” with the incomparable Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band recorded live at the Beacon Theater, NYC on March 27th, 1976.

DJ Lee will not be in the Big Red Chair for this week’s Golden Road. But no need to panic, we’ve got you covered this week! Fortunately, KDRT is one big family, and Rodriguez, intrepid former host of The Golden Road, has kindly agreed to take the helm in my stead. We have no clue what Rodriguez has in mind for this special edition of the Golden Road, but you can bet your last dollar that it’ll be good stuff!

This week the Golden Road takes us to the Big Island! Yep, the Island of Hawaii for the Jerry Garcia Band recorded live at the Hilo Civic Auditorium in Hilo on May 20th, 1990. Jerry had the presence of mind to record the concert and this show was recently released as GarciaLive Volume 10. We are going to dig deep into the new eighteen song release on this week’s show. Plus, a couple of surprise songs by Jerry and Sara from May 4th, 1963!
