On the heels of the start of Season 5 of the “Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast,” Grateful Dead Productions have premiered one of the more interesting Dead lectures courtesy of Dr. Graeme Boone of Ohio State University.
The professor of musicology shares a multi-dimensional exploration of one the Dead’s most historic and mysterious songs, “Dark Star.” Dr. Boone shares a brief history of the classic Dead tune and then dives into it’s musical intricacies before sharing a choice “Dark Star” from early in the Dead’s 1972 European tour. While I’m not one for anyone chatting with me during an epic “Dark Star,” Dr. Boone provides a fresh perspective on one of my favorite Dead tunes from an academic angle.
Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the awesome production.
