The new Grateful Dead channel is like an instant flashback machine. I just heard the "Quinn the Eskimo" encore from a Foxboro show I was at on 7-2-89. Jerry sang "when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, Everybody's gonna wanna dose" and I remember the entire place lit up and people went nuts. That was one of my favorite shows ever.
heres the set list: http://www.archive.org/details/gd1989-07-02.schoepsmk2
Ahh, shit, I taped that show.
And I have XM...fuck.
Im listening to it right now. dont worry XM and Sirius are planning a merger :DQuote:

Shit, gonna have to renew my sirius subscription to hear this on the way to the hills this season.
the Jam channel has some pretty awesome live Phish tracks too. heard a "Run like an Antelope" that went on for like 20 mins earlier today. I was four wheeling in the snow at the time and it was awesome.Quote:

Have you guys heard the soundclip of the guy on the Grateful Dead channel saying "Uhhh..... does anybody wanna buy a remote? Cause' I haven't changed off the GD channel ever since it came on."
Clever. I chuckled.
I do switch back and forth a bit, though. Even though Jam On does repeat a lot of songs (lately seems like Umphreys, ALO, and Tea Leaf stuff a lot,) the frequent drawn-out drums/space stints on GD are getting painful.
I'm glad there are people here that think of this as a good thing. We are everywhere. :wink:
I have been loving it. Space does get rough, though. Without fail, I have a 15 minute drive. Jump in the Jeep, and it is fucking Space for the whole ride.
I had Sirius for years and then got rid of it cause I wasn't on the road as much. But..... I rented a car not long ago and it just happened to have Sirius. The Dead channel is awesome. I couldn't believe how great the song selection was when I was listening.
Do they still have Bill Walton's 'One More Saturday Night' show on? His
long ass stories that somehow connected the dots at the end cracked me up.
Agreed on the repeats.Quote:

The Jam On DJ's were happy when the dead channel came out cause they didnt have to play dead anymore. They seem to hate dead.That one smoky voice chick Steph on Jamon sound like she doesnt take the needle out of her arm .She's always nodding. "Heres a 20 minute Widespread song and I'm gonna shoot up"
jam on was basically a GD channel.
As with the Stone's channel. they play every song I don't want to hear five times a day and every song i want to hear about once a week.
I saw this tour up at Alpine Valley, north of Chicago. For some reason its all a blur though.Quote:

My buddies and I were still super lit after the show. We hung around the scene at the stadium lots and didnt make it back to the car until the sun was already up. It was kind of funny to see our car being the only one left on the front lawn of this house. The family were all looking out the windows at us drinking beer on their front lawn hoping we'd just go away. Sensing the tension, my buddy politely went to the door and told them we'd take off as soon as we came down. I thought they were going to call the police, but they never did.
This sucks. I just bought a honda that is xm radio ready. Anyway you can get it to run sirius?
you'll just need an aftermarket. it will not run through your current head set.
There is a simple adapter that will make it work. Sirius sells them. No need to buy a whole new unit. Course, it may cost as much as a whole new unit, but c'est la vie.
great channel, now i dont have to carry around a load of shows on cd :)
btw, anyone know how well those portable stilleto receivers work while skiing? im wondering if the changing aspects of the terrain would interfere with the signal.

I love that channel, Steve Parish is a crack up. Jam on is another great channel.
Are any of you going to make it to the Golden Gate Park Dead and Co?
Big Steve is awesome. He can be a major asshole for one caller and the next person he loves. Funny listening for sure.Quote:

I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I'd tried to make a go of it in the Bay Area in the early 90s. I get jealous when I hear about these concerts. It was sure fun to visit. My cousin settled there in the mid 90s and lasted about 27 years before it got too expensive to live there as a school teacher married to a school teacher.
I wouldn't waste too much time on that. The Bay Area is super over populated with not the nicest people. Criminals literally own the streets in parts of SF. The city does nothing to protect businesses. Union Square, the shopping mecca, is boarded up and all businesses left. Oakland is down right scary.
I get in and then get out ASAP. There's still fun to be had, living there not so much.
