Show by GD Sleep Strories
Tonight, the winter the Grateful Dead made the Carousel Ballroom on Market Street their own room, and the night Jerry Garcia grabbed Phil Lesh at the top of a dressing-room stairwell. Lesh had frozen on stage, still grieving Neal Cassady, and nobody who was there agrees which night it was or what happened on those stairs. The tape was rolling, and those Carousel reels were spliced with studio sessions into Anthem of the Sun, the strangest record the band ever made. A long, calm story for a long night.CHAPTERS0:00 Settle in1:35 The Carousel Ballroom6:36 Ron Rakow and the glass doors11:48 How big was the room16:56 Bear's tapes, always rolling22:12 The band and Warner Bros.27:16 Neal Cassady32:19 The first live FM broadcast37:31 Which night was it42:49 Eight bars of silence47:44 At the top of the stairs52:41 The free show on Haight Street57:41 Sorry, man1:02:37 A tape too hot to place1:07:34 Building a collage1:12:47 Dan Healy at the mixing desk1:17:47 The producer who walked out1:22:53 Mickey Hart and two drummers1:28:02 Tom Constanten's prepared piano1:33:23 That's It for the Other One1:38:52 Alligator and Caution1:44:06 The trip east to record1:49:15 The record comes out1:54:33 The remix1:59:24 Can you bottle a live night2:04:37 Drifting offThe Shakedown Archives Sleep Stories are long, calm, spoken-word journeys through the real history of the Grateful Dead, made to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
