    CBS News covers the Dead's impact on live music technology

    Concert sound today bears little resemblance to the early days of Rock N Roll -- when acts like Chuck Berry and The Beatles swept the young hearts of the nation. The quality enhancement is due in large part to one band's drive and innovation. CBS News Correspondent Jim Chenevey reports on how the Grateful Dead paved the way for modern concert sound.

    Dead & Co on the Tonight Show
    Saw the boys perform on the Jimmy Fallon Show, they did a great job on a short version of Shakedown. Bonus online Brown Eyed Women to get the ladies in the mood. Bob gave a wooo during Shakedown as the crowd neglected their part (forgive them, they dont know when or how) Fallon is super excited for the summer tour and IMO did good in the way of getting others excited as well. John seems to me very serious about his role playin' in the band and is doing his best to give new life to our beloved GD songs. At the end of the show, when they all lined up together on the stage, Bob was winking and pointing to the Summer Tour poster like he was saying " Yeah guys, come on tour this summer...its gonna be a real good time!" Cant wait to see them in Indy and Alpine! Will I see you too?

Hey all...Just leafing through last week's Sports Illustrated magazine (Jan 25th) and noticed a piece written on Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.... I was interested in the article for many reasons.... none of which I guess I need to go into here.... but right there on Page 57 in the picture with Irsay is Jerry's Tiger. I remember that Irsay bought it many years ago... among many other interesting purchases... the guitar is not mentioned in the article but Stephen Stills and other references are made.... Thought you might find that curious.... I did. Be well all. Raymond

Are deadheads really drawn to warm indoor places? Egads, will have to reload on the mace, put the heat down and lock the doors! We must repel them at Ithaca or face them in ever-greater numbers in Utica, Manchester and Amherst where the "Earthmothers" make them multiply! ~ And it's real, and it won't go away! ~

Not exactly a "sighting," more a reference, but today, the NPR comedy news quiz show "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" followed a segment about the increase of marijuana use in US senior citizens with a snippet of "Touch of Grey."

this morning around 3 et on the Nat Geo channel "Thrill Zone" (sorry but their web site is a complete mess and I can't find the exact show) the owner of a demolition company spoke of the "bitter sweet" job of imploding the Cap Center, complete with a good picture of the band on stage there. He talked about seeing The Grateful Dead there himself "many times" as the picture was aired. Sent shivers up my spine as I reminisced the cosmic energy we shared in that place of time and space. My brother-in-law and a handful of old fiends went there to witness this sad demise when they brought Her down but I couldn't bring myself to join them.

On Easter Sunday morning... I hadn't slept very well in several days (nothing to do with drugs of any kind - I just get zonked from work and the insane schedule sometimes) and I was like a zombie in front of the TV watching the local Comcast Sports Net telecast and there's Curt Callahan the director of Cole Field House pointing out a picture of The Grateful Dead performing from a show I was at in the late '70s! The piece was on Cole Field House btw - not the Dead. I was revived again... enough to make it back across Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate. I don't know why certain things ease my mind these daze but seeing those kind of psychedelic moments seem to work best for me. It's as if I can feel like I've done my days work or something... I know, crazy.

... last night he talked about Jerry's old house up for sale and tonight he made a Jerry reference when handling a lizard the wrangler said could, "... take off a finger..." I still can't get over the fact that The Roots are his house band. How cool is that?

Seems like the best place to post this-- The Fresh Air Interview: Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band A fine interview and studio performance of Peter Rowan and his Bluegrass Band, including his reminiscences of Old and in the Way and Jerry Garcia. Well worth the listen. "A well put together unreality is pretty hard to beat." --Mark Twain

Any Sportscenter/Chicago Bulls fans out there? Last night on Sportscenter, one of the anchors quoted several lines of "Ramble On Rose" while showing a bunch of Derrick Rose highlights. Wait, he did not quote, he sang several lines of "Ramble On Rose"- "Did you say your name was...?" on through the end of that short little stanza. A beautiful ESPN moment.

I watched Pearl Jam : Live at the Garden, '03 last night, after the final song the band was a little freaked ' cause the crowd was going so wild that the stage was moving around. Eddie came out for the encores and said what they felt and a stage manager told him that that had only happened 3 times before: For the Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden, and Bruce Springsteen.

and it sounds like it might be on a somewhat more manageable scale than the extremely ambitious Terrapin Station plan, which kind of collapsed under its own overwhelmingness I think.

So does this mean that all the money raised for the 'Terrapin Station' centre through selling the Terrapin Limited 3 CD set will actually be used. I have long wondered what happened to that money. The set is still on sale in the shop here for a whopping $39.50. Is a proporion of that still going to the Terrapin project? It would be nice to know there is an account somewhere accumulating money and that it has not just been absorbed.

This isn't a media sighting but it is a far-stretch-connection-to-the-Dead sighting: I saw The Decemberists last week and during one of their songs (one of the new ones but I don't remember which), I was afforded the chance to see a Hurdy-Gurdy being played. No China Doll, but the Hurdy-Gurdy was there. Sweet instrument. J.T. Gossard http://thehallucinogenicbible.blogspot.com/

I'm not sure if this is the right section but a promo commercial for the mystery channel Cloo TV had a guy who was like an amateur detective buying a car. The seller said the car hadn't been driven far and the buyer pointed out evidence refuting his statement, including a painted-over bumper sticker of the dancing bears. It's still running on tv.

HuffPo article too good not to share. "...maybe it is the honesty in their music and a trust that, just like their audience, the Grateful Dead were simply who they were, without judgment and without apologies -- even when they were dark figments of themselves. And, maybe it's because of this that on these warm June nights, I mark another year. I reflect on being ten years old, sitting in stadium seats at my first Grateful Dead concert, the summer breeze blowing through my hair as I listen to Jerry Garcia sing "Standing on the Moon," with a weathered and tired voice that was far from perfect -- but it was entirely his own and that's all I ever wanted to hear."
