Tonight’s WBLM Mini-Concert [VIDEO]

36 years ago today, the Grateful Dead made their second sold-out appearance at the Civic Center in Portland. The ‘circus’ came town once again on May 11, 1980. This was the 15th Anniversary tour celebrating their first show together as the Warlocks in Menlo Park, California at Magoo’s Pizza on May 5, 1965. Next month the long strange trip continues as Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, John Mayer along with Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti  are hitting the road for a summer tour as Dead & Company. They are doing two shows at Fenway in July. And oh yeah, you can watch The Dead show at Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro from July '89 tonight at Cinemagic in Saco.

Join us tonight at 6:20 for live Grateful Dead on the WBLM Mini-Concert!

Check out this Bob and Jerry appearance on Good Morning America in 1980…find out why Jerry calls Joan Lunden “chicken”. I love it when mainstream media tries to coolly explain the weird world of the Grateful Dead.The best part is at about 3:20 when we see and hear from the devoted Deadheads.
