Happy Thanksgiving!

Shut the front door!

Great band .... love what they are doing !

I've been knocked out by the clips I've seen of this band. I'm wondering, Marc, do you chart this all out? I'd be curious to see some of the bass charts!

Ditto.

Yea, everything is written out, our poor bass player. Phil parts are crazy but our guy Paul nails it. Been trying to get some of these charts to Phil but no luck. I think he'd at least get a kick out of seeing. Also, looking to publish all of these in a book soon. I think at least a Phil book would be pretty cool.

Hey, we're live on the air on John Platt's long running Sunday Breakfast show this Sunday 12/16 at 10 am on Fordham U's 90.7 WFUV in NYC. We'll be playing Uncle John's Band, Cumberland Blues, Operator and Mississippi Halfstep and talking about our upcoming shows at Sellersville 12/23, Tarrytown Music Hall 12/28 and Infinity Music Hall CT 12/29. Please tune in or listen on line. Thanks. http://www.wfuv.org/programs/sundaybreakfast

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all. Finishing up our nice little 6 gig run this weekend with 2 back to back Workingman's Dead American Beauty shows. Tarrytown Music Hall Friday 12/28 and Infinity 12/29. Special thanks to Sellersville for the really nice reception last Sunday!

Hey, Donna in my icon pic. So cool to be able to play with her once. I was 13 when I saw the Dead at Nassau colliseum in 73 and she was there singing Eyes Of The World. Then, all these years later there I was standing next to her singing the same song. Sometimes I get lucky! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkGENMe29w with Steve Kimock and his killer band.

Happy to have a few new dates confirmed. 4/13 doing 71-72 show at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock NY. http://www.bearsvilletheater.com/events ... m=4&y=2013

Also doing a special 4/20 Cream Of The Crop show, picking favs from our catalog of 70-74 material at the Newton Theater in Newton NJ. http://www.newjerseystage.com/articles/ ... on_ref_map

Also working towards Halloween show back at Count Basie in Red Bank NJ. It will be a double drumming show. 1st set 60's, 2nd set kicking off with Help On The Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower and continuing with everything danceble beyond.

Totally different selections from the 4/20 "best of" show happening at Newton Theater. Thanks and hope to see some folks. FB page is always updated. FB/deadonlive

Rehearsal today. 2 new songs, St. Stephen studio version, as heard on the record. Fun fact: The crazy jam before the final verse, Bob and Jerry are playing to a slow 4/4 count, whereas the drums and Phil are playing to a fast 3/4 time! Can't wait to play this live. The other song is Brown Eyed Women, a nice Keith and Phil feature song. Beautiful parts played, note for note by our guys John Pittas on piano and organ and Paul Avrutin on Bass.

Off to Woodstock this weekend. Thanks to Brett and Jimmy at WDST Radio Woodstock for all the support. Cool news for our Stone Pony show 5/18. We'll have special guest emcee, legendary tour manager to the Stones and the Dead, Sam Cutler. Sam can be heard introducing the Stones on Gimme Shelter, Get Yer Ya Yas out. He was also tour manager of the Europe 72 tour, which our pony show will be based in. He'll be doing meet and greets and speaking before we launch the 72 set. Nice!

Have a great show , Marc and Co.
