    I don't see the "Feedback" emails. If you emailed me directly, I apologize for not answering. I wish I knew what to tell you. Sirius XM doesn't seem to be very good at putting information online. Gans/GD Hour blog

    concert listings on sirius
    I can't seem to find a reliable source for concert listings on the Grateful Dead channel on the sirius Dead site .Sometimes it's there, but most of the time it's not, makes it difficult to set up a deck for recording.I've asked David Gans via feedback but no reply.Is there an alternative place for this info?Any help would be much appreciated.

    I had let my XM subscription lapse until Sirius bought them out. Of course, as soon as I found out that there was a GD station, I started it back up, and have NO regrets. Now I don't have to rely on my iPod all of the time. Don't get me wrong, you can fit a shitload of Dead on an iPod, but it's the gems, and the mix, that makes the station work so well. Now all is well on my daily commute.

    The decision was made before I came on board, but I think it's a reasonable one. Let the music speak for itself most of the time. Gans/GD Hour blog

    Track info
    I have been fighting the good fight about track info since Day One. Problem is, all he different receivers handle that info differently and it's not possible to make all the information available to all sets. Still working on it. I can't explain the repetition of Keller's Loose Lucy :^) but I like it too! Gans/GD Hour blog

    GADEADHEAD & Ted (hey that sounds like a great duo - you guys should think about hitting the road together! hahheeee).... I agree - it'd be awesome to see WHERE & WHEN these wonderful selections were played. ALSO - as cool as Keller is, I've heard his version of "Loose Lucy" twice in the last 2 days...sheeesh... ;) You still da MAN, Mr. Gans - hope to play w/ you again sometime soon!! ~ Pappy www.theCAUSEjams.com "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

    Although I am thrilled that the GD channel is finally on XM, I sure wish the date and venue would be listed as each song is played. (XM unit and on line player)

The two vehicles I have (2014 VW and 2013 Ford) both have Sirius in them I am not an over the top audiophile, but the sound quality on the GD channel satellite broadcast is poor. Very Compressed, muddy and un-dynamic....it is painful to listen to at times, esp on the live material The internet feed at home evidently has a higher bitrate and sounds a whole lot better, crisp and clear I want to support the band beyond description and really enjoy the programming (esp Tales of the Golden RD). It would be grate if GDinc could work with sirius to improve the sound quality of the broadcasts, as my gut is telling me it is not the source material, but rather the satellite transmission

They offer a sound quality upgrade but why shouldn't it all be high quality? Sirius is living in the past. The GD channel is the bomb but the Sirius/XM tech is out of date, think Pandora has it on them. Sucks I am a lifetime Sirius subscriber. No wiggle room when it comes to the poor quality of their product. 24/7 GD music is nice but thats all I like about Sirius. Just my opinion. And thats nothing to shake a stick at

I am wondering if anyone knows what the song/date is for the music played in the background while Dave is doing his intro on today in grateful dead history on SiriusXM. I don't mean the late 60s Dark Star but the music that sounds like a supercharged Fire on the Mountain jam but with early 70s guitar tone/phrasing. I actually emailed DL about this but the music is added by SiriusXM people and he doesn't listen to the show. Anybody know what I am talking about??? It's driving me crazy so somebody please help me out! :)

Interesting organ playing from Keith from the Nassau Coliseum on 9/7/73 during the Truckin' jam going into drums. I'd never heard this before! Tune in today during the GD History segment at 6 pm central, or anytime if you have an internet log-in subscription.

A few months ago, I was listening to Alligator being played on Sirius XM. About halfway through it, another song started playing, abruptly ending Alligator. It was jarring and certainly not what we expect from a radio station that pretends to understand its listeners. I went to the Sirius website and complained but never received a reply. I don’t know whether anyone else has noticed any bad edits from Sirius, but if you do, I encourage you to give ‘em feedback.

Never heard this before, nice first set, with a breezy easy feel. Mean Jerry slide on Litle Red Rooster, sweet Bird Song.
