Death and the Grateful Dead's Music - the next series at Murder Ballad Monday (we take that title loosely!)

Murder at the Dead Show - Set 1 We investigate murderousness within the Grateful Dead's repertoire in this week's installment of Murder Ballad Monday. Performances by the Grateful Dead (of course) and the Waybacks, with a few treats tucked in here and there.

Murder at the Dead Show - Set 2 More meditations on mortality in our week with the Grateful Dead--with "Dire Wolf," "Peggy-O," "Black Peter," "Cassidy," and "Box of Rain."

"Please, don't murder me."

Murder at the Dead Show - Encore This week's virtual Dead Show concludes with an excellent two song encore, including "Death Don't Have No Mercy," and "Bird Song."

Rev. Gary Davis makes a guest appearance with a stark and compelling performance.
