The Dead | 04.23 | Letterman Pics from Jay Blakesberg!
The Dead performed "Sugar Magnolia" last night on the Late Show with David Letterman, JamBase is there...

phil looks so slick with that modded bass....blue leds are perfect for HD television

What did it mean when Letterman says at the end "Remember . . . there is no Dead CD" ???

i think he's referring to the fact that music doesn't die. ya know? kinda dumb but hes gotta point.

ps. im diggin this new layout for comments. its was gettin outta control with all the thumbs and shit talking.

Rock and Roll. Freedom of Speech Baby.

That b*tch that was on right before them was f*cking PAINFUL to sit through

good little run on letterman also nice to see the Dead crew gettin some love in the pictures cause the new lighting rig is phat as hell they deserve it. yea i think letterman just had a slip of tounge and covered his ass with a flaky line haha. enjoy the show tonight to all who attend!!

he ment there is no dead CD because usually bands promote CD's before they play on letterman. Earlier in the show he held up a card that said there is no dead CD

Why did Letterman cut Sugar Mag short? I was ready for them to start rocking out and Dave comes over and gives them the old heave ho.....It's not like anyone watches Craig Ferguson anyway, that guy's show is downright awful

Nice bass. I was thinking as I was watching, I guess they haven't written any new music in the last 20 years. A national stage and they are still playing a song from the 70's.

What is up with Warren did he change shirts mid song or are some of the pics from soundcheck

they did finsih sugar mag. they just didn't go into sunshine daydream.

I love the one of Phil leaning on his amp looking like a badass!

Good shit. I was tryin to figure out what Phil was gesturing at the end. He looks like hes sayin Dave Lettermen is a square? I have no idea but him and Billy are crackin up over it haha. Also did you notice warren was about to rip after 2nd chorus and then Bobby came to stop him. Phil gives nasty looks over that stuff i saw it with Jackie Greene and now with Haynes. He doesnt like solos where there is no extended time ya know ha Phil is the man keeps that shit together along with the rythym devils. So glad I caught them in DC,(which need i remind u that tipper gore guested with them on Sugar Mag hahahahaha) cant wait for rothbury and maybe if i get lucky sat at spectrum woooo.

How does Phil concentrate enough to play slithery bass licks with a dragon around his shoulder?
