The Grateful Dead, Little Red Rooster

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the blues, for you.

The Grateful Dead, Deal

Now that's what I'm talking about. Recorded live at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 4, 2015, I'm playing the Fare Thee Well concert bringing the Grateful Dead back together for their final performances. The Grateful Dead remain the most popular performing act of all time and it's so fantastic to hear them do what they do best once again.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. Visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com to listen anytime. Hear more Grateful Dead at dead.net and thanks to the Live Music Archive at archive.org for hosting the concert I'm playing tonight.

I can define The Great American Songbook as all the songs that Ella Fitzgerald ever sang. Similarly The Great Americana Songbook contains all the songs the Grateful Dead performed. They're an amazing band with a legacy that reaches out into the future fueled by their relationship with their audience. Now, proving that the music never stops here's "West L.A. Fadeaway".

The Grateful Dead, Cumberland Blues

All right now, it's the Grateful Dead playing "Cumberland Blues". The Grateful Dead, a rock band with influences from all over the map, including folk, country, bluegrass, and jug band music, drew first and foremost from the blues. 

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue and I'm jumping right back into this great concert. From the second set here's The Dead with "Stella Blue" and "One More Saturday Night". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, blues is the mainstream.

The Dead, Stella Blue
