Here is a wild “Positive Friction” from Shakori Hills 10/11/09 – Donna the Buffalo with me sitting in. (CORRECTED A TYPO in the URL – it works now.)
And “Yesterday” – Rubber Souldiers a cappella at MagnoliaFest 10/25. We can do a lot better, but it’s okay.

THE PUMP SONG (GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD)
GRANMA’S COOKIES
“Greatest Pump Song Ever Wrote” is from the first radio show I ever did, on the KFOG Deadhead Hour February 18, 1985. I had audio clips of Robert Hunter, Mickey Hart, and Bob Weir talking about the unique history of the song “Greatest Story Ever Told.” Mickey was kind enough to invite me to his studio and pull out the multitrack master reel and play the original pump track, the log drum overdubs, etc. “Greatest Story” was one of the first songs that hooked me on the Grateful Dead.
I did an interview with Rich Reardin for Jason Wilber’s WFHB (Bloomington IN) show In Search of a Song.
Performance at Berkeley Bob’s Coffee House in Cullman, Alabama 10/20/09. Video by Uncle John. Song by Jim Page. Studio version is on my CD The Ones That Look the Weirdest Taste the Best.

Event Will Raise Funds for the Exhibition The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society and for the Grateful Dead Archive, UC Santa Cruz
In support of the new exhibition The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society (opening March 2010) and the Grateful Dead Archive, the Historical Society will hold a fundraising reception on Wednesday, October 21, 2009, co-hosted by business leaders Brian Harris, Robert Lapidus, Tom Marano, Billy Procida, Brad Settleman, Emanuel Stern and Marc Warren. Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead will be guests of honor at the reception, where they and other attendees will have the opportunity to preview select highlights from the Archive.
The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society traces the career and achievements of a band that became one of the significant cultural forces in 20th century America. Through a wealth of original artwork and documents including concert and recording posters, album art, large-scale marionettes and other stage props, banners and decorated fan mail, the exhibition will explore the musical creativity and influence of the Grateful Dead from 1965 to 1995, the sociological phenomenon of the Deadheads (the band’s network of devoted fans) and the enduring impact of the Dead’s pioneering approach to the music business. Materials in the exhibition will be drawn almost exclusively from the extraordinary holdings of the Grateful Dead Archive at the University of California Santa Cruz, established in 2008.
When: Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 7:00 p.m.
Where: The New-York Historical Society, Two West 77th Street, at Central Park West
Who: Brian Harris, Robert Lapidus, Tom Marano, Billy Procida, Brad Settleman, Emanuel Stern and Marc Warren, Benefit Co-Chairs; Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, Guests of Honor
