In the meantime ...
... have videos of Deadhead TV ever made it into the 21st century? I don't think I ever caught an episode, but I have always kind of wondered if anything interesting came up.
You're not missing much. I lived in the Bay Area at the time and would tune in just in case something cool would show up but sadly nothing but parking lot scenes and some set list info. Every once and awhile they would play some music in the background but they were just clips. Since the show wasn't affiliated in any way with the Dead, they weren't allowed to put video of the band up. It was better then nothing and you could tell the show was made with love but without any offical input, it played about as well as you could expect from a cable-access show. I think I've seen an episode or two floating around the internet but that was probably 10-15 years ago. Derf
