Another prime feature is Today in Grateful Dead History, in which the Dead's official archivist, David Lemieux, plays a selection from the Dead's touring past that took place on or near that date, together with his personal rembrances of particular venues or interpretations of what stretches were or were not artistically successful for the group.[1] The Channel also broadcast live the band's 2015 Fare Thee Well shows.[2]
