The Grateful Dead

[ADF]

I've always been a big fan of Achewood, but not until now has someone been able to describe my absolute loathing for the Grateful Dead. (http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/autaux?b=M%5ea11f09b8576e606bcb5038dfdb92fb821&u=http%3A%2F%2Fachewood.com%2Fcomic.php%3Fdate%3D0 2282008) A gaggle of toddlers banging on homemade percussion instruments could produce something more musical than those aging hippies.

I couldve gone along with "fez looks homeless" but this is too much. Leave Jerry alone!

I'm sure they're all great guys. I love hippies, deadheads, and the like... they're great people. It's just that their music is god-awful.

Hmmmmmm......


Nah

[ADF]

Look, I can appreciate the fact that they were an experimental band that went off the beaten path. I like people individualists and creativity. The music just doesn't suit me. I'm sure the majority of you would hate my music as well. The main thrust of the thread was about the comic strip and how it reflected my own personal opinion of The Grateful Dead's music.

[Bossanova]

But expect to get some heat sir.

[TeeBone]

There is just no room to argue against the power of the Dead in the 70s thru the mid 1980s. They were a fucking incredible live band.

Fair enough.

Thank you in advance.

The thing that bothers me the most is the guy in it considers "Touch of Grey" a good song!

[nevnut]

The thing that bothers me the most is the guy in it considers "Touch of Grey" a good song!

Worst song ever.

Every Dead-head knows they only did that song to make the top-40. It was kind of a sell-out.

[Bossanova]

Every Dead-head knows they only did that song to make the top-40. It was kind of a sell-out.

That is my most hated song, right in front of Casey Jones

[PhishHead]

It is my most hated song by them as well.

I tried to stay away from this thread but I couldn't.

[FezPaul]

So Dead-Heads hate the only two GF songs I've ever heard?

Interesting.

[Death Metal Moe]

I feel the same way about The Grateful Dead ADF. Problem is we're not high. That's what I always hear. A 45 minute jam with a jug and a banjo must be spellbinding on acid, but it doesn't cut it for everyone else.

[nevnut]

A name like FezPaul and you only know of two Dead songs???

Is that the "driving that train, high on cocaine" song?

I hate you

Correct.

[drjoek]

If I had more time I would go on a long diatribe about by favorite band and why I like them
ADF and others here don't like them thats fine. If you don't get it you don't get it. Im not going to battle you.

Help>slip>Franlins

[DiabloSammich]

Correct.



Fuckin love that song.

"Drivin that train, high on cocaine....Casey Jones you better.....watch yo speed!"

Cmon everybody, sing with me!

[Bossanova]

Fuckin love that song.

"Drivin that train, high on cocaine....Casey Jones you better.....watch yo speed!"

Again, I hate you

Trouble ahead, trouble behind.

One of my favs, and i fixed it for ya'

[TheMojoPin]

Until recently, I'd be right there with ADF, and I think I still loathe most of their shit from the last 25-30 years, but before that, the proto-alt.country stuff I've heard I really like. If I could hear more of that stuff, AND ONLY THAT STUFF, I'd probably hate them a lot less.

And Trashcan Sinatras are awesome.

i dont care what any dead head says about Casey Jones, i fucking love that song. its probably cause its the first dead song i can remember hearing on the radio when i was a kid, so its the first song i knew.

[mikeyboy]

I wouldn't call myself a Dead fan per se, but every so often I get in the mood for some mid-70s live Dead. I've been in one of those such moods lately, so I recently downloaded and have been enjoying the 6/11/76 Boston Music Hall show.

this is why I love mikeyboy so diverse!

In mikey's honor and actually for mojo as well (because they are both awesome) I have infracted Kevin 3 times which i think means he cant post till the infractions go away.

The "holier than thou" attitude is far too common in people that call themselves deadheads.

most deadheads are probably dead

Very nice choice mikeyboy BUT might I suggest that you find a copy of the show the next day 6/12/76 or the day before 6/10

I went through a Dead hating time - but I was mostly confused about their purpose... and I didn't smoke pot at the time, which is pretty important here. Also - it seemed like a bandwagon thing to latch onto so that you had an identitiy and could play hackey sack and not take a shower.

Later - I found pot. Then I found that the Dead considered themselves "off center" at their own shows. They'd play front and center on a stage but were really part of the experience that became such a frenzy.

I'm an American Beauty fan I admit but I can appreciate them and I'll never forget seeing them Giants Stadium '95. I was glad for that experience b/c then ol 9 fingers died. I guess God needed another rythym guitarist.

[midwestjeff]

I guess God needed another rythym guitarist.

Jerry played lead.

[Sue_Bender]

In the late 80's, I received a novelty device: a chip that you place in a toilet paper tube.

It played "Ripple" whenever I yanked at the roll.



I've been a fan ever since.

[ahhdurr]

Jerry played lead.

get out of town. my bad.

Jimmy Buffet is not the son of Warren Buffet - Sailor
Les Miserables is not set during the enlightenment - Thebazile78
Jerry Garcia was a lead guitarist - midwestjeff

Since the merged channels has given us the Grateful Dead Channel it is on the other 21 hours I'm not listening to Ron and Fez. A few thoughts. It is a great station. It is particularly good for traveling distances as I did yesterday. They program it well spanning the 35 years and all the solo stuff. Love hearing legion of mary a Jerry side project. Full concert every day. Today in GD history. Couple of musical things. Nothing pisses me off more than Bob Weir playing Jerry Garcia songs. GD versions of Bob Dylan songs are almost always great and help to show what a genius Dylan is. Pigpen was fucking amazing
Nothing left to do but smile smile smile.

[midwestjeff]

I am not a big fan of Phil and Friends.

I've seen them a couple times and they weren't bad
but every tune I've heard from them on the great channel 57
seems to be lacking something.

Ratdog is much better, not that it's a competition.

[yojimbo7248]

There is lots of godawful Dead music out there. Few would deny that. However, back in their prime, they were a very good live band. Listen to Europe '72 or any recording from around that time.

[ESDonLSD]

Just started listening again after almost five years of abstaining from the Dead. For some reason I had to hear Wharf Rat which led me to Loser & on and on... Gotta say, great fucking band, but I totally know how it sounds to people who don't dig it. The thing is that if you look at all their styles, the sheer number of songs, & the 30+ years performing-I guarantee that there are appreciable nuggets for everyone. Def not for everyone but if you deny the strength of their songwriting teams or overall musicianship, you aren't informed enough to comment. Yes there is a LOT of noodling and needlessness, but they could freaking cook when they were on the mark.

[Puggle_kicker]

it takes a while to get used to the dead. and another big thing is you have to have a good ear to appreciate the dead. Its not pop and the melodies dont hit you upside the head. You have to listen for it. Unless you have a good ear or are willing to listen, a lot of it will just sail right over your head.

Just got inspired to throw in an old tape:

Me too. But they play Uncle Johns Band too much. I am always catching that tune on 57.

[midwestjeff]

Alright.

If you really want to here Phil and Friends eating cock tune to 57 right now.

They are playing last night's show.

Right now is what can only be called a slow motion retard version of Come Together.

It's listenable, but barely.

Holy shit. Channel 57 has been on fire tonight!

Playing things like Crazy Fingers that don't get on much, some terrapin stuff, a great Franklin's/Help/Slipknot and now a "Why don't we do it in the road?" cover.

Also, heard a live Dead version of Rubin and Cherise last night during the daily concert.
Apparently they only played it four times. Sounded great, I'm surprised it didn't make it into the rotation.

Hat tip to Tennessee Jeff for the current concert on xm 57.

A great "I know you rider" on now.

[drjoek]

Their one and only stop in Witchita.

[weekapaugjz]

I think I could go the rest of my life without hearing Casey Jones and be happy.

[midwestjeff]

Their one and only stop in Witchita.

Cool.

I keep wishing that the show ends with Kansas City because that would make me laugh.

There's some weird cuts in the audio.

[drjoek]

You gotta remember these shows were recorded on reel to reel
Back it those days. A lot of time the cuts were tape flips. Back in the day you'd hope the drums or space took place some where in the 90 minute range to change tapes. Damn I miss the old days "on the bus".

[Enabler]

I heard a version of "Are You Lonely for me Baby" yesterday on 57 but I didnt catch where it was from. Anybody catch it? My searches only lead me to 3/25/72 which is not the version I heard. It was excellent. And Im pretty positive it was Grateful Dead and not Garcia/Saunders because Phil and Donna were both singing.

I am listening to Stella Blue - they just came out of the big solo/jam part and it struck me so perfectly - I remember 1995 Giants Stadium after the break... they did this and the whole stadium went blue with lights... so fantastic.

I'm an American Beauty type Dead fan. I've seen them once.

I love this friggin' song right now.

[midwestjeff]

Alright, this hasn't happened for a long time but I just
heard a Dead song that I didn't know existed.

It was called "California Earthquake". It wasn't exceptional or anything but I enjoyed it.

Dr. Joek, how about a history lesson on this song.
I'll hang up and wait for your reply.

Only performed once I believe, 10-20-89 in Philly after the World Series earthquake. Rodney Crowell song. Classic example of dead's ability to be pertinent and relevant through 30 years. Pure awesome-ness.

ps. Im only answering in Drjoe's stead because hes at a spring training game prolly.

[midwestjeff]

Fuck Dr.Joe.

Thanks for your prompt response Enabler.


Edit*-Also, while I'm here, the concert on 57 tonight is rockin'. 11/29/'79 in Cleveland.
Actually, the first set had a couple weak spots but the second is killing me.

[Dirtybird12]

Worst song ever.

Every Dead-head knows they only did that song to make the top-40. It was kind of a sell-out.

RE - Touch of Grey
I know its hip to hate the "hit" but actually the live version is pretty fucking insane.
Not a huge fan on the studio version - but more than a few times, I've been blown away by it live.

The music and jams are brilliant. Great musicians who own the art of improv

Also, in reference to DirtyBird, I like Touch of Grey. Fuck it.
I was 6 or 7 when it hit MTV and it led me to seek out more.
Not when I was 6 or 7 but later on.

They've played that Cleveland show a couple of times this week, I always end up catching bits and pieces of it. Loved it but, as always, hated the drum songs.

I stand corrected. Just don't like the version they play on FM but since the merger and listening to 57 I've heard a couple good versions.
