Any Deadheads out there?
I say the Dead close to 50 times, and Garcia solo stuff another 10 times. For some people that might seem like a lot, but for others that is a mere fraction of what they experienced. As Bill Graham once said, "They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do." I'll take a 1973-74 era Eyes of the World over just about any other piece of music ever composed. What are YOUR thoughts?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I saw a few shows. Mostly I wore out bootleg Maxells in my Datsun driving dirt roads in the mountains with the stereo loud.

I wouldn't describe myself as a deadhead but I love a lot of their music. Particularly Working Man's Dead. Pigpen is the man.

I have had a nearly lifelong love of folk and traditional music and have broadcast over 3000 hours worth on public radio here in Australia. If you search the #folkmusic tag on this site you will find an url to one of my early influences - Joan Baez who was greatly influenced by Odetta.

Seen Bob Weir. My ex's band's manager had a scam promoting a Dead reunion concert 22 years ago in NH.

ok, that sounds interesting. I'm very curious what that entailed.
They are regularly featured in my playlists still today.
I couldn't claim to be their greatest fan, but I enjoy them.

I was not a fan, but my friends took me to see them.....would have been 76-77. They were great, but I had never seen a band tune up for as long as they did.......

they were never in much of a rush between songs during the first set.76-77 was an amazing era. I didn't first start seeing them until 84.
Love the Greatful Dead but then my musical tastes are very eclectic and I grew up listening to them and three dog night with my dad
