Episode Description:
In this deeply personal edition of The Lyons Den, host George Lyons pays tribute to the legendary Jerry Garcia during what he calls "The Jerry Cycle"—the reflective nine-day span between Garcia's birth on August 1st and his passing on August 9th.
George shares heartfelt memories of his own journey as a Deadhead, including the impact of Mickey Hart’s words at Garcia’s memorial and how they helped inspire his path into broadcasting. He then takes listeners to one of his favorite venues of all time—The Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University—for a full playthrough of a beloved Grateful Dead concert from May 6, 1989.
With the band in peak form and Brent Mydland's contributions shining brightly, this episode offers four uninterrupted hours of live Dead magic. It's Jerry, Jerry, and more Jerry—served with reverence, energy, and unmistakable Lyons Den soul.
Tune in, turn it up, and celebrate the music, the memories, and the magic of Jerry Garcia.
