This week, 14 Jun 2018, The Blue Bus route sign reads 'WORKINGMAN'S DEAD!' As Forest marks the 48th anniversary of the Grateful Dead's 4th studio album. This was probably their first meaningful focus on the power of vocal harmonies in their songs. Rolling Stone magazine readers voted it the best album of 1970! Ride on! Turn on, Tune in, Drop out! ☮ ♥ & ♫

Great show as always, Forest!!! Loved most of the artists on this show featuring Jerry Garcia & The Grateful Dead on the 48th anniv. of their 4th studio album...... it's great listening to them and a host of others artists of the 60's like Elvis, Santana, Miles Davis, Doors, etc.....
Love the Otis Taylor Remix
Definitely like Big Bad Otis here as well! Mahalo from Maui!
loved the chainsmoking song by jacob banks. great song and it reminds me a bit of ray charles.. thanks for a great show as always Forest
Yea, that's a good one! Thanks MTM!
Such a great show, I tend to love anything close to the Greatful Dead :)
Totally appreciate the support by listening and adding your comment! Mahalo from Maui!
I really liked this show: because it was even more eclectic than usual! It's fun hearing B.J. Turner's 'uncensored' "Shake, Rattle And Roll" alongside Bill Haley's "Rip It Up," where he felt he had to change "Union Hall" to "Social Hall" for some reason -- you can't be too careful! Maybe he didn't want the Comets to get ideas, and unionize or something? I also loved the (new to me) "Resurrection Blues": if I woke up and discovered I was Jesus, I'd have the blues as well... what a song. As far as the Dead goes, I love 'em. And I was hoping you'd play my favorite track off of that album, despite the constraints you have on tracks-per-album that you can play -- and you did! It's "New Speedway Boogie": some say it was written about Altamont. Some say the more obscure track (left off of "Workingman's") "Mason's Children" was about Charles Manson. Not really as upbeat and positive as the Airplane, were the Dead, eh? 👻 Add Santana, Doors, Tommy Dorsey and Elvis, and you have a near-perfect show, IMO. Not to mention the host singing: "Stand up and SHOUT!" lol Mahalo, and Ride... On... Baby! 😺
Johnny, here flashing his blade again. How cool! Hey brah, thanks so much for your detailed comments. You're the best and I look forward to your commentary on each new ride. Stand up, or even sit down and shout, my Bay Area bud! Mahalo from Maui and Ride... On... Baby! 😺
I'm pretty like drugs.
Indeed! Queen Mohican!
I'm adoptable!
