Grateful Dead Sleep Stories | Bill Graham, the Fillmore, Winterland and the Dead's New Year's Eves and more
From Grateful Dead Sleep Stories · 02:07:00
Show by GD Sleep Strories
Tonight, one man and the rooms he built around a band: Bill Graham, a promoter from San Francisco with a clipboard and a temper, and the Grateful Dead, who played his halls for most of their long working life. The Fillmore up its flight of stairs on Geary, the old ice rink called Winterland, and a great many New Year's Eves. He shouted, they wandered off, and for the better part of three decades they kept coming back to each other. A long, calm story for a long night.

Perfect for insomnia, winding down, long nights, travel, or anyone who loves the Dead and wants to drift off inside the history. Dim the lights, get comfortable, and let it carry you off. If this helped you sleep, following the show is the one thing that keeps them coming. Sweet dreams.
