ALOUD IN REVUE: AN EVENING OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD with Ray Robertson and Nick Paumgarten in conversation

A special night of conversation and music, exploring the Grateful Dead through their seminal live performances. Writers Ray Robertson, author of All the Years Combine: The Grateful Dead in Fifty Shows and Nick Paumgarten, a staff writer for The New Yorker will discuss the bands most notable concerts including Harpur College, 5/2/1970. The Harpur College concert is where the Dead performed a legendary acoustic set featuring brand new music from WORKINGMANS DEAD and AMERICAN BEAUTY along with down home traditional tunes from that “old, weird America”. The second act will feature THE HARPUR COLLEGE DRIFTERS, a one time only gathering of stellar musicians including Gabe Witcher, Leeann Skoda, Rob Stone and players to be named later who will reimagine this famous show. An Evening of the Grateful Dead promises to illuminate the legacy of America’s most enduring band as well as give a flavor of one of their greatest live performances.
