Description:

In a dancing blaze of tie-dyed glory, the late Dick Latvala was offered a Deadhead's dream job when he became the Grateful Dead's archivist in the mid-1980s. In the first episode of The Latvala Files, culled from exclusive interviews with Dick in the late-1990s, Dick talks about how he became a Deadhead, why he started taping, and how he fulfilled his life mission of exposing people to the Grateful Dead experience through the ongoing Dick's Picks series of reissued GD live shows. Includes Bill Walton (host of One More Saturday Night on Sirius satellite radio) and Dead percussionist Mickey Hart, who both shed light on Dick, the Dead, the music and the fans.

Dennis McNally, longtime public relations guru for the Grateful Dead, calls the episode "superbly edited" and a "very funny juxtaposition of lyrics with Dick -- great work!"
