Deadheads - What New Years show had K Kesey and father Guido Sarducci?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

They hosted a New Years show that I had a long lost tape of years ago. I think it was around 85, 86 or 87.

Kesey was freaked out and started shreaking about FDR and such - priceless!

What was it?

[Search Party]

1. 1985

Al Franken and Tom Davis too.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. Thats right! I think thats the first time I ever heard Franken

I remember we were all around the radio in the living room (I was 10)

No wonder when I first smoked pot it reminded me of being a safe and contented kid - comfort smoke as it were. :)

Here's the next question - how do I get an MP3 of it?

[Search Party]

4. I'll look for mp3's on the web, I know a few spots.

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Not sure....

None of my reference guides say that Kesey or Franken were there for New Years 85. Maybe they were on the radio locally (NY? Kesey?!) I'm not sure about that date, Josh.

Do you remember what they played?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. I remember the commentary more than the show - you'd fucking LOVE it

its been a series of running jokes with Wolff and I for a decade at least

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Ahhhhh.....

Shit, I bet I would love it.

Here's waht the authors of The Deadhead's Taping Compendium say about the commentary:

"The DJ commentary is provided by Tom Franken and Al Davis (sic)....Disappointingly, this New Year's commentary by them is all but useless. They fail to spark any intelligent or humorous commentary........."

Huh. Usually these guys are on the money, but if you and Wolff liked it, it musta been funny....

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. The commentary I'm talking bout is Sarducci and Kesey

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Kesey and Sarducci were present giving the psychedelic play by play

I don't want just the boards - I want the radio broadcast. It was taped from the Grateful Dead Hour

[Search Party]

3. I'll never forget Franken screaming at Kesey over the radio,

"Ken, the list, where the hell is the fucking list!?"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. I remember Ken describing the float Bill Graham rode in on

There's Wagner Riding, Riding, Riding. There's John Lennon - alive for ever. There's FDR!!! HE'S GOT FDR!! HE'S GOT FDR!!!

[Rambis]

5. It's a cake , no it's not a cake, It's a representation of the USS M!

NO!, OH my god what was that (flash pot Ken) it was 1987.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Ken - This must have cost MILLIONS!!!

Guido - More than that!

[Rambis]

9. Wagner, Wagner himself riding riding riding! *

12. There's a bust or eric Clapton - he stands over 40 feet tall

[Rambis]

24. Father Guido: That's notta Eric Claptin, That's Zappa!

ok 1985 those brain cells are still alive I guess:crazy:

[RandomKoolzip]

13. THAT's right....

87. Okay, that makes sense.


You should be able to find a clean FM-SBD of that show; Any FM broadcast shows are ususally pretty easy to find amongst collectors.

SouthoftheborderPaul always wanted me to find a tape of 3/27/87 HArtford for him because it was his first show. I tried a buch of times; it's just a really obscure show, and not circulating on SBD, as far as I know.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. I don't know if you've seen this but you can download clean boards of

ENTIRE FUCKING SHOWS - in the last 4 days I've downloaded 30 SHOWS!!!!

18. Sweet! Do you know where an MP3 could be snagged?

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Paul's there?!

Right on, right on, right on....Hey Paul! Come to Chicago! Play some shows!

Shit, when are both you mugs gonna come see me here?! We should do the next "project" here; I'll upgrade my memory and get the software, and you guys can go buckwild. You'd LOVE CHICAGO.

Me thinks the next step would be, of course, upload "Theme for the Funky Viking" to DU.

I'd love to download shows, but it takes so damned long (i've tried it) and the memory on this computer is all but filled. I'm still busy burning all my tapes onto CD! (I had no idea I had so much live Dead on tape...I always consideredd myself a newbie until I realized I had more than Chris Mitchell or Travis Moody back in their respective heydeys right now....)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

23. I mean Paul's in CT

Shit man i AM at work, you know

[RandomKoolzip]

25. Oh..I thought you took a few days off...or something...whatever...

Okay. Well, yeah, that's the show Paul always wanted for me to get him. If you can find it, then make his day!

Show me how John Ashcroft can fuck!
