This recording captures a very special live performance by Grateful Grass – a project featuring Williams, Keith Moseley (The String Cheese Incident), and Jeff Austin (Yonder Mountain String Band) – performing not-so-traditional bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead favorites.  The collection, recorded February 8, 2006 at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, is available at iTunes and other digital retail outlets.  100% of the proceeds from REX (Live at the Fillmore)  go to benefit The Rex Foundation, the charitable non-profit started by the Grateful Dead which gives grants to worthwhile causes. www.rexfoundation.org

Mazzy Star - In The Kingdom

Grey Street is only one song of an incredible set list from the October 14, 2010 show at Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  The handpicked show is now available for  pre-order as Live Trax 27. The crowd in Argentina was one of the most energetic the band has encountered and the band fed off this energy as evidenced by their supercharged performance. The full setlist features a wide range of songs from nearly all of the band’s albums. Highlights include the one-two punch of Big Eyed Fish » Bartender in the beginning of the set, #41 in the middle, and a scorching Two Step to wrap it up.  A full audio recording of this show has not been available until this release, making this a volume you’ll definitely want to add to your DMB collection!

This was recorded almost 17 years ago on 9/6/94 at Finns on Atlantic Blvd in Virginia Beach, VA. The song is called "Get On Up/Sanford and Son". It still appears in my live show today but with lots of loop jams throughout. This version was before all the looping crept its way into my show. It is also the first song on my first record "Freek". This version was recorded on cassette off of a powered mixer that I hauled around in a Mazda pick up with my trusty husky Sheeba. The guitar was an amazing Takamini 12 string with actually 12 strings on it. And tuned to pitch. Today my 12 strings have 9 strings and tuned 1 to 5 steps below pitch so this is different from how my guitars sound today. This guitar was either left on the street or stolen out the back of my truck right around the time of this show. I was young and dumb and worry free and quite forgetful. I was also doing like 6 shows a week (2 of those being in Virginia Beach). Finn’s on Tuesday and Kiefer’s on Wednesday. Man I miss that guitar. I didn't notice it missing until I loaded in the next night.  The replacement guitars never quite sounded as good to me so a lot of the old recordings from this time frame don't pass my rigid inspection for release.  But this does. In fact, I have plucked several songs off of this recording to share. Finn’s was owned by a college buddy of mine for about 8 months. A circle of friends would bartend and free drinks and shots would flow freely. Maybe that's why it closed 8 months after it opened. The song was made up a couple of years earlier and it’s about a weekly gig I had in Fredericksburg. The Windsor Tea Room (which is now J.Brians) would move the tables aside on Wednesday nights and let me play from 8-10pm to a bunch of underage hippy kids. Ahhh…good times. I was recently given a hard drive containing something like 800 shows of mine dating back almost 20 years. All I need is a computer…and some kind of plug to go between the two…and some software to decompress the files…and someone who knows how make both work…and about 150 hours to listen to the stuff. And then of course babysitters. So it might be a while before I dive into this hard drive. I wish I could plug some headphones into it and press play. Someday, I will discover what lies beneath the mysterious plastic shell of this hard drive. And when I do, I will share some with you. Until then, please enjoy.

This delicious cut has four levels of getting cheesed.  First you get a nice jam, the you move on to an always fun trip-echo, into a an electronic breakdown with nothing but a bouncy groove to get you moving, and finally you land at inevitable waving puddle on the ground that is your face, as well as the jellyfish of a being you formally called your body.   SCI is dangerously fun.

Keller & His Compadres - Chillin' Like A Villan -> Black Clouds - Keystone, CO - 12/21/12

This version of "Terrapin Station" was recorded on piano by Keller and can be found on the album 'Keys'.  'Keys' is available on iTunes (MIDNIGHT ON 2/11/13) for purchase (itunes.apple.com/us/album/keys/id598782779), and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Rex Foundation.  And now a word from Keller:

"It’s no secret I have an unhealthy fascination with the Grateful Dead. Whenever I sit down at the piano it seems the only thing that comes out are Jerry ballads.  Even though these songs are not all Jerry ballads, I have sort of made them that way.  The lyrics, although I've been singing them most of my adult life, are not 100% perfect. Like any other music I play, I've taken liberties.  All of the proceeds from the sale of these songs goes to support the Rex Foundation, which was started by the Grateful Dead, in the 80's, so you can feel good about that!  Gratefully yours, Keller"

Brooklyn, NY -- Lettuce releases the bonus track “Star Children,” previously only available on the rare Japanese version of their 2008 album Rage!. Because of the limited release, “Star Children” has only been heard by the most devoted Lettuce fans. Lettuce's Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff had this to say about the release:

“The track was named "Star Children" to pay tribute to some of the great Funkateers like Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, and George Clinton. Neal Evans absolutely crushes the Modular Synthesizer. This is a free track from everyone here at Lettuce, so turn it up Loud, Blast Off, and Enjoy the Ride.”

Lettuce has enjoyed a booming Spring 2013, consisting of main stage plays at Buku, Summer Camp, & Purple Hatter’s Ball Music Festivals, as well as sold-out club plays in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Denver, New York City, and New Orleans (Annual Royal Family Ball). The band will continue to build momentum leading into an electrifying summer, highlighted by their return to the legendary Fuji Rock festival in Japan, as well its primetime slots at Electric Forest, All Good, and the Catskill Chill music festivals.
