Live in Twangville: Grateful Dead Give-Away

Thursday, October 09, 2008 By Kelly Dearmore

In my mind, there is no denying that The Grateful Dead is a classic, iconic American band. In my opinion, the Dead represented a true alternative to mainstream rock of the 60’s and 70’s and were in the forefront of blending rock, country, funk and even jazz into a concoction that few people knew what to really call or describe it as. It is with great anticipation that the recordings of their work in front of the Egyptian Pyramids are being released soon as a 3 disc DVD/CD combo entitled Grateful Dead: Rocking the Cradle – Egypt 1978 from Rhino Records.

WE HAVE A WINNER!! Congrats to Shawn! Thanks for playing!

I have ONE COPY of the CD/DVD COMBO in AWESOME PACKAGING to GIVE AWAY! Leave a comment on this post naming your fave Grateful Dead Song (use a valid email address), and a winner will be chosen at random on Friday 10/17

About the author:  I likes me some wine, women and waffles, not always in that order (but usually). Chaucer is cool, but fart jokes are even better. You feel like spikin' your country with a little soul or mix in a little rock without the roll? Lemme hear from ya!!
