George With No Voice: Deep Cuts & Dead Classics in The Lyon’s Den


Listen Later

This week inside The Lyon’s Den on 91.5 KUNV Las Vegas, George Lyon may have lost his voice — but the music does all the talking. Broadcasting from UNLV’s Greenspun Hall, George curates a four-hour journey of deep cuts, rare grooves, remixes, and legendary performances, delivering the unmistakable soundscape that makes The Lyon’s Den one of Las Vegas’ most distinctive late-night radio experiences.

The night opens with atmospheric, downtempo, and trip-hop selections from the James Taylor Quartet, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Rockers Hi-Fi, Lamb, and Olano, weaving a cinematic blend of techno-organic grooves. From there, George digs into essential cuts by Morcheeba, Depeche Mode, Saint Germain, Portishead, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan, adding context, history, and signature storytelling between the mixes.

A highlight of the episode is George’s tribute to guitar virtuoso Uli Jon Roth, including personal memories from touring Japan with him and insights into Roth’s iconic 32-fret Sky Guitar — a technical marvel matched only by his musicianship.

The centerpiece of the show features an uninterrupted live Grateful Dead concert set, recorded November 17, 1973, at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion — sourced from the exclusive Dave’s Picks archival series curated by Dead archivist David Lemieux. The entire first set plays out as it was performed, offering Deadheads a rare, immersive experience.

George closes the show with reflections on the healing force of music, a preview of next week’s live set, and a reminder that The Lyon’s Den continues the tradition of old-school FM radio: long sets, deep catalogs, and a passion for sharing the treasures of the music world.
