I cant believe you said lonesome sounding and didnt post the lovesick blues

I actually peeked out and couldn't decide on which one LOL. There are so many. (My son calls another man Daddy) has got to be the saddest song ever.

Oh and Settin' the woods on fire another good one.

...and, I'm still stoked. Who else hates fat, redundant hippies?
Well Pin,
I really don't care how the band looked so much, it was all about the music.

Some of the longer tunes the Dead played were like some sorta magic music while taking acid.
Most of the music is old from the 40's on up.
Folk tunes and traditional covers from the days inbetween.

If you could see the music written on paper it would look like a symphony with sub rhythms.

I guess it clicks or it doesn't.

I love this vid.

Listen to all the parts of the music.

Write it down on paper. lol

Dead concerts were more about the people and music, not a stage performance.

An that changed after Jerry had a stroke.
The concerts changed and it was all about the performance and it sucked.
I stopped going to Dead concerts at that point..

Anyway, this is a good space out tune about growing plants and thunder in the summer.

Burn one and just listen.
The video is somewhat a bore.
Jerry and the boys didnt jump around on stage or light stuff on fire.

even if you dont like them you got to respect what they did for music. who else literally had people in the 60's all the way to the 90's following them acrossed the country selling grilled cheeses out of there VW busses.. im far from a jerry hater.. love me some grateful dead. even got a tattoo lol. the people i think dont like em its because the fans. im not a grimy hippy, im all about my money lol. but give the music a chance. i especially love the people that hate the dead then turn on a sublime album or someone who else was heavily influenced by the dead
(when i was a teenager i had a 5ft tall bong i made named smokestack lightning.. loved it!)
:D

I guess it doesn't LOL I HATE the dead. I'm a doors girl, but then lots folks hate the doors too, so to each his own. Pin why a thread hating the Dead?
The real question is, " Why am I the first one to make one?". The answer is simple, The Grateful Dead fucking suck. Some of their fans are assholes, too. Happy fucking robots saying OH LIFE IS FINE - they're either stupid or they're lying (probably both). Just ignore all disaster and smile smile smile? What the fuck? Seriously? Fucking drum circles, tree hugging, going with the flow, smelling like ass and pachoulli, saying no possesions while simultaneously trying to get all you can....

Fuck all that - I'll never trust a happy man.

There's plenty to be happy about. Even in the face of disasters. Would you rather go thru life being a cynical asshole distrusting of everyone? Or smile smile smile and count your blessings? Too much of either one can be unhealthy. I like to find a happy medium

This is all you needed. You could dose and dig the show with your eyes rolled up in your head and follow 'em around the country...
