Sirius XM’s Grateful Dead channel will broadcast Furthur‘s upcoming show this Sunday, Feb 14th at Barton Hall in Ithaca, NY (@ Cornell Univ.). The venue is, of course, well-known among Dead fans for the Grateful Dead’s much-hyped concert from May 8, 1977, a show which has received plenty of praise, even from the mayor of Ithaca. If you’ve never heard it and feel so inclined, then tune in early for a special edition of Tales from the Golden Road, as they’ll be featuring recordings from the legendary 1977 Cornell performance prior to the live stream. Of course, you could also just stream the show from the Live Music Archive.
Umphrey’s McGee’s show tonight at the Belly Up in Aspen is sold out, but it will be available live on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Jam On channel tonight at 10PM ET (JamOn is Sirius 17 & XM 56). Keep in mind, if you’re not a subscriber, you can try a free online trial.
Sirius Satellite Radio’s Jam On station is doing four-part series on the history of Phish festivals. The “Phish: Festivalography” series starts tonight at 9PM ET on Sirius Jam On:
One of the most significant and culturally important elements of Phish’s history are their festivals. From their first (the Clifford Ball in 1996) to the future fests (the upcoming Festival 8 this Halloween weekend), they’ve been putting on weekend-long getaways for their fans for nearly fifteen years. During Phish: Festivalography, you’ll hear all the members of Phish reminisce about these special events – from backstage atmosphere to golf cart adventures to their unforgettable, emotional moments. On the first episode of Festivalography, the band will discuss the beginnings of their festival history, plus Clifford Ball (1996) and The Great Went (1997).
