Sadly lost to us last week was Robert Hunter, lyricist with The Grateful Dead - In celebration of his life tonight's featured LP is American Beauty where he co-wrote with mostly Gerry Garcia almost every song on the album.

This also happens to be my personal favourite of all the band's records and tonight we will be playing 5 tracks all from the vinyl.

Also on tonight's show we will be hearing from Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Delaney & Bonnie and many others.

All from the vinyl, just the way it was meant to be heard.
