Grateful Dead fans Drew Hamilton and Mike Widmer are finally back to review the albums Blues for Allah , Terrapin Station , and Shakedown Street from the time period 1975-1978.

Show Highlights (or Lowlights depending on your viewpoint): 36:40-37:22 Think Wid Kid prefers his Samson and Delilah live? 43:25-44:00 Talk much, Hammy? 52:35-53:10 Hammy sings France ‘s praises. Or does he? Next episode? Keith and Donna’s exit from the band. Brent Mydland’s entrance. A review of Go To Heaven . And we finally usher in the 80’s. Hop on the bus for this long, strange trip through another time’s forgotten space…on Shakedown Speak!…

Grateful Dead fans Drew Hamilton and Mike Widmer tackle 1972 and review Jerry Garcia’s Garcia, Bob Weir’s Ace, and the Dead’s Europe ’72 .

Grateful Dead fans Drew Hamilton and Mike Widmer are back and ready to usher in the 70s. This show covers the period 1970-1971, as Hammy and Widdy review Workingman’s Dead , American Beauty , Skull and Roses , and Bear’s Choice . The band’s sound was changing like Peter Brady’s voice in puberty, but Widdy has you covered with all the insight you need. Crack open a coldie and have a high time counting how many times Hammy says “absolutely” and how many songs Wid Kid considers “great.” Show Highlights (or Lowlights depending on your viewpoint): 15:35-15:45 We’re gonna need some forensic evidence to determine what that noise is 20:23-20:40 Hammy’s stellar analysis of Black Peter is can’t miss commentary 1:06:22-1:0710 Widdy reveals his senior yearbook quote Once again the boys got a little aggressive in their estimate for the next episode. Episode 3 will only cover Garcia , Ace , and Europe ’72 . Wake of the Flood and From the Mars Hotel will have to wait until Episode 4 to get their time in the spotlight.
