  • Jerry and Bob appear in four of the show's eight segments, chatting with Dave and performing "Deep Elem Blues" and "Monkey and the Engineer." Also included is the Cold Open, where Dave teaches Jerry how to play "Proud Mary," the show intro and opening remarks, and the show close, where Jerzy Kozinski offers to disguise himself next time as Jerry.

    I am 25 years old as I write this, and I discovered the dead roughly two years ago when a college friend showed me and I jumped right on that bus! I have now seen dead and co. a couple times and listen to shows from all years daily. I cannot express my jealousy towards all you old cats reading this! I wish I had a Time Machine!

    I put myself in the place that never heard these guys before & I can’t help but think how wrong most people are when they think of these guys. Mastering these fun folk tunes is certainly not what I would’ve guessed the dead were about - before I knew them so so well like I do now. Know what I mean??
