LoloYodel Notes (2015) :
With time, it seems that the originally posted acoustic songs have now dissapeared ... "Deep Elum" is still there, "Dire Wolf" also (but the audio is false, it was taken from the "Reckonning" album) ...
Here, the audio quality is NOT the best (notably "On The Road Again") ... but that's the best I can do.

Tom Snyder was host of "The Tomorrow Show" (aired late nights from 1973 to 1982). It was a talk show unlike the usual late-night fare, with Snyder, cigarette in hand, alternating between asking hard-hitting questions and offering personal observations that made the interview closer to a conversation. Very cool at the the time !

Now, regarding this evening's presence with members of The Grateful Dead, this was during a GD Tour break, between two Nassau Coliseum (Long Island) concerts and notably after the 5-6-1981 show, which was exceptional, and later became a "Dick's Picks" release.
