Uncle Sam; An interview w/ Sam Cutler

Days before Phish's Curveball Festival was cancelled, Mike had the opportunity to talk to one of the most important characters in the long, strange story of the Grateful Dead, the one & only Sam Cutler. Sam brought the Dead to a whole other level of touring, success, and fame. Utilizing the tools he picked up working with the Rolling Stones, he was able to steer the Ship of Fools into new waters, and any Deadhead owes him a big thanks! Enjoy Hosted on Acast.
