Today on the VE:
If they had ipods in the Grateful Dead’s early days, chances are, the vinyl originals you’ll hear for the hour would have been on Jerry’s, Bobby’s, Phil’s, Mickey’s, Bill’s,  Robert’s and Pigpen’s… in perpetual shuffle. We know for sure that they earned many spins on their turntables. Songs that inspired The Dead…covered by the band on records and in concert through the years…as we bid you good night, and fare thee well.
