    Cue Up the Recording of Your Choice!

    Today, we have added an exciting new feature to Grateful Dead of the Day that allows you to choose the recording you would like to listen to. For each show, we have selected a recording to feature in the player, idiosyncratically mixing audience, soundboard, and matrix recordings. For the most part, this is all you need: a sweet Dead show cued up for your enjoyment. But we also realize that some folks would like to choose which recording they listen to. Now, you can simply pick out the recording of your choice and play it here at Grateful Dead of the Day.

    The Star Rating System Explained

    The star rating on every show is a feature that we carried over from the earlier version of the Grateful Dead of the Day website. These ratings do not represent our assessment of the show. Instead, they are a compilation of user ratings. You can add your rating to the conversation by clicking on whatever number of stars you think a given show deserves.

    We also have a page that displays the highest rated shows on Grateful Dead of the Day. Some of the highest rated shows are certainly ranked that way because few folks have given their opinion on that show. And there are other shows – like a personal favorite of mine…

    Heads’ Tales Tease

    The Dead loved their teases: the infamous Cosmic Charlie from 1994 or the sweet Stephen in the midst of GSET in 1972. This is ours: we have a new podcast called Heads’ Tales that will drop Thursday.

    Heads’ Tales aims to capture stories about people’s experiences with the Grateful Dead. From going on tour to trading tapes to meeting Heads in Botswana, we will record, save, and share the rich and varied memories that people have of getting on the bus and having the Grateful Dead as an instrumental part of their life.

    Introducing Hunter’s Trix Reseed Project

    Deadicated collectors and careful listeners are already familiar with Hunter’s Trix matrixes, but even those Deadheads who do not know what this type of mix is have probably enjoyed the incredible sound of one of his 100+ releases. Mixing together soundboards and audience recordings, the matrixes Hunter creates put the listeners in the sweetest seat in the house with the crispest, most complete sound possible.
