Grateful Dead 8/1/94 The Palace at Auburn Hills MI
LIBERTY

August 1, 1994 was Jerry Garcia's 52nd birthday. I have a vague recollection of a playing card-themed backstage pass or maybe some other party favor...

"Brickshake #7" is a piece of digital audio art that sort of shuffles the Grateful Dead's studio recording of "Shakedown Street" (from the album of the same name) and Pink Floyd's "Just Another Brick in the Wall" together like a deck of cards. I've done other pieces along these lines, including one that combines seven or eight different artists' performances of "Hard to Handle." I call the art form "Mutilaudio," and you can hear more examples at http://www.dgans.com/mutilaudio/ .

You can browse and/or search the Grateful Dead Hour program logs on the show's home page, gdhour.com. Let us know if there's a particular show you'd like to hear, and feel free to post requests and comments here or by email to gdhour [at] dead.net

Thanks for listening!

Alright! Another one of my favorite GDH shows from long ago. I played this tape over and over the night Jerry died. A few months later, I accidentally erased it, yikes. Beautiful "Stella Blue", one of the best I ever heard. Also love that "Liberty". Thanks!

I vaguely recall what it was like to be able to download MP3s for my own personal and non-commercial use

I hope I do not forget what it was like before RHINOgate...

thanks for the killer 94 digital dead....those card themed "party favors" sound interesting...i can just picture a little 1cm X 1cm "postage stamp" (lol) with playing card themes on them...the art on most of those little stamps is gallery worthy...the ones that wern't licked that is....saw many themes in my day..my favorite being a wolf howling at the moon...then having phil sing "just like tom thumb's blues" at the same show...."steal your voice and leave you howling at the moon"!

thanks again dave for getting these GDH shows up and archived on dead.net!
look foward to next week!

Is this the backstage pass you mean?

Re: the music here, I still can't get the streaming to work, but this week's selection got me curious about 8/1/94, a show I'd never heard before, so I downloaded the corresponding parts of the audience recording that's on archive.org. I'm sure it sounds better in the version in this GD Hour, but however you listen to it, it's real nice stuff. I love the jam leading into Watchtower. I'm a big fan of Drums/Space in the '90s, and this bit of Space is a perfect example of why.

Hey David Gans, these last few weeks have really been my first exposure to your radio program because of my remote location (the Cascade Mountain foothills of Oregon) I can turn on my radio receiver and not get any station or signal.
Now, that I have downloaded or streamed the 6 or 7 installments posted on this site over the last few weeks, I can honestly say i have become a respecting fan.
The Steve Parish interview was completly amazing and this weeks installment (I'm mid Stella Blue now) has me emotional with joy.
Truly Great Radio !
Thank you for your hard work,imagination, incredible memory recall and innovations.
Peace On Earth,
JurassicBlueberries

David G:

Amidst my harsh criticism of the business practices of the site operator, I DID NOT mean you any disrespect.

You have been a champion of the cause and have brought a lot of fine music that none of us would have ever had the ability to hear.

I am in Philly and have diligently recording your show to HiFi VHS and have quite a collection that is played regularly once transferred to CD,

Thanks again for the music.
