KPFA Grateful Dead marathon 2/26/22
Saturday, February 26th, 2022Rare 1975 JG poster for KPFA
Saturday, February 20th, 2021
Jerry Garcia 1975. Photo by Frank Moffett
Tom Stack has donated five more copies of this rare poster for KPFA’s benefit.
Were asking $100 for the poster, and Tom will pay for shipping.
First five people to contact me (david@trufun.com) can have ’em.
This picture was taken at Winterland Arena in San Francisco, California by the late Frank Moffett. Though originally booked as “Jerry Garcia and Friends,” it eventually morphed into a full scale Grateful Dead show, right in the middle of their “retirement year,” 1975. This was one of only 3 impromptu shows that year.
Taken side stage via special access, it shows Jerry in the midst of a contemplative solo.
Printed on thick stock, and measuring 14” x 20 ½”, this incredibly rare poster is one of a few left from an edition of roughly 500, and was personally approved for licensing by Jerry himself. All copies are out of circulation and in sole possession of a local collector, also an ex-employee of the band. This will serve as a beautiful addition to any Dead Head’s collection.

Changes at Dead to the World
Thursday, November 5th, 2015I have retired from regular hosting of of Dead to the World (Wednesdays 8-10pm on KPFA 94.1 fm Berkeley).
I sent this letter to the management on October 28:
Dear colleagues –
I need to step down as the primary host of Dead to the World. I have a book and a CD coming out in November, and I need to focus my attention on those two projects.
As I have been working on the record and book all year, I have been less and less engaged with my KPFA program. I don’t feel I am able to do justice to the gig, as I have less and less time to prepare for it. My musical career is on the rise everywhere but in the Bay Area, so I am on the road more than half the time these days. My travel is only going to increase in the near future.
Tim Lynch, my cohost, is fully engaged and delivering a first-rate show every time he takes the reins. I have discussed this with him and he seems willing to take on more of the work. I hope you will allow him to continue as the lead host. I will host DTTW occasionally – maybe once a month, more or less.
I will, of course, do the marathon (with Tim’s help) next February and every winter for the foreseeable future.
I will continue to serve on the LSB until my term ends, and I will continue to support professionalism among the staff and community.
This is an entirely positive development. I’m on the road a lot these days, pursuing my own musical adventures. Because of the increasing demands on my time and attention, I don’t think I’ve been doing a very good job on DTTW. Tim has been covering for my absences for several years, and I made him the official cohost a while back because he was doing it more than half the time anyway. I wouldn’t hand the show over to just anybody! He’s great on the air, and deeply committed to music and to KPFA.
I needed to do this for a number of reasons. I feel my identity has been confused here in northern California: I have always seen myself as a musician with a radio show, as opposed to a DJ with a guitar, and this move allows me to be clearer about who I am.
So from here on out, if you have an event or a record you want to get on the air, please contact Tim. I’m out of that business.
