From Ihor Slabicky's discography:
The Grateful And The Dead - (BBC) Aired in the UK on January 22, 1993.
This program was about Phil Lesh, through the Rex Foundation, supporting the
publication, performance, and recording of modern classical composers, most of
them in Britain. The program featured a long interview with Phil Lesh (with
David Gans in most shots but silent), and shorter interviews with Jerry Garcia
and Bob Weir. There were excerpts shown from each night at Cal Expo in May,
1992 ("Tennessee Jed", "Stagger Lee", "Space" and "Estimated" and a short
film of Pharaoh Saunders and the Grisman Quartet. Phil Lesh was interviewed
while producing the "Eyes of Chaos/Veil of Order" radio show, during the
summer, 1992. Produced by Jeremy Marre.
