             ANNUAL GRATEFUL DEAD LIVE SPECIAL ON WREK-FM!

As is the tradition every Fall quarter, WREK 91.1 FM will be broadcasting
live performances by the Grateful Dead on Friday December 27th, from 7pm
until at least 2am. Usually this event coincides with the Friday of Dead
Week, for obvious reasons, but due to extenuating circumstances this year 
the special had to be postponed.

The Classic Rock Album and Stonehenge, two programs which normally air in
this timeslot will not be aired, but in keeping with the Classic Rock
Album format, a Grateful Dead related LP will begin at 7pm. This year, the
album is a special treat: Phil Lesh and Ned Lagin's rare "Seastones" LP
from 1975, which features not only Phil Lesh, Jerry Garcia, and Mickey
Hart from the Dead, but Grace Slick and David Freiberg from Jefferson
Starship, David Crosby from CS&N, and Spencer Dryden from the New Riders
of the Purple Sage. After that, the real fun should start.

This year is at least the seventh year that this special has taken place,
as far as my recollection serves, and although both Eric and I have fairly
decent reserves of Dead show tapes, we have played most, if not all of
them in previous years. In an effort to keep this year's special fresh, we
both would like to solicit the help of interested Tech students (and even
non-Tech students) with the task of providing some bootleg Dead tapes that
you wouldn't mind sharing. We have some, but if we expect to go until dawn
as we have in past years, we're going to need all the help that we can
get. Anybody that has tapes is welcome to come down to the radio station
and hang out, and even if you're just a Dead fan without tapes we don't
mind you dropping by. It *has* been a while since the last time we all got
to see a show. :(

If you are interested in sharing your tapes with us, you can either e-mail
Eric (eric@wrek.gatech.edu) and/or myself (tim@wrek.gatech.edu), or call
up our house at (404) 892-8255.

So, anyway, tell your friends and other interested parties about the
special if they don't already know about it, and share in our strange
trip- Friday, December 27th, at 7pm on Georgia Tech's student radio
station, WREK 91.1 FM. Thanks a lot,
				   Tim
