At http://dlarmy.wordpress.com, Dave Lawrence's homepage, legendary Grateful Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux speaks with Honolulu DJ/broadcaster Dave Lawrence in an on-demand interview podcast not to be missed. She shares not only details about her new life with Donna Jean & The Tricksters, but tons of fascinating stories about her life work of being a musician with some of the biggest names ever in pop music culture. This excerpt features Donna Jean and Dave speaking about the Grateful Dead's historic run of shows -- groundbreaking at the time and still to this day -- at the Great Pyramids in Egypt. These fall 1978 shows were just acknowledged in a major way by the Grateful Dead with their new Rockin' The Cradle 3 disc set of audio and video from these concerts, the first-ever full-length release of any kind featuring the Egypt dates. That is just one timely bit of dialogue in a fascinating conversation covering Watkins Glen, Englishtown '77, Europe '72, and many other Grateful Dead tales. Donna Jean also takes us into the studio and around one of the other icons she worked with in this personal, candid, rapport-heavy conversation that is unusual in both it's depth, and precision run-down of key Donna Jean offerings. Working with Elvis Presley, perhaps one of music's most influential figures, is a chapter in her life rarely dug into, and in this monster, 30 minute interview, Dave Lawrence gets one of the longest segments ever recorded with Donna Jean discussing her time working with 'The King Of Rock n Roll', Elvis Presley. She tells stories of working with Elvis that are so vivid, you feel like you're standing in the studio with them. That and a lot more in the full length interview, in the "Current Interview Podcasts" at the Dave Report, a cool feature on Dave Lawrence's website with all these great interviews with the rock bands that have made a difference: The Police, Guns N Roses, Kiss, Styx, War, Jefferson Airplane, and much more. It's crazy.
