Welcom to the Grateful Dead season of Cosmic Lion Radio!!! It's the Deads 60th anniversary and Cosmic Lion Productions' 20th anniversary so we are doing whatever the hell I want, and what I want is to talk about the Grateful Dead. This ep we go era by era and cover the Dead from 1965 to 1995. The Prime era. I go into some history, play some killer jams and lay a basic overview of the career of the greatest rock band of all time.
