trans fat posted:Deadheads I've met in real life have seemed almost offended that I would dare to prefer studio Dead to live Dead on some occasions. Box of Rain is a perfect example of this, in that I've yet to hear a rendition of it that really, really captured what it has on American Beauty. Given how emotional and personal of a song it is, it disappoints me that I can't really hear some great soul-bearing jams. Please guide me, wiser Deadheads. It might not be their best version musically, but Box of Rain was the very last song the Dead played as a cohesive whole, so as a fan of the band, you should appreciate the Soldier Field show closer.

HollisBrown posted:Proof that their is no god. Before Dark Star Orchestra stole her guitarist when John joined Furthur, Donna and the Tricksters were really solid. You could close your eyes at a show and it sounded like being at a JGB gig in the 80s. Speaking of Furthur, since there's no dates, Phil is mostly out east from what I've seen, and not being a big Ratdog fan, its gonna be wall to wall Panic gigs for the wife and I this summer. Not complaining at all. We've started talking about Furthur in the past tense, sadly. Is there any word they'll be back on tour in 2015?

BigFactory posted:And when was the last time Billy and Micky played with them? Billy did some Phil and friends stuff a decade ago, and were all 4 together as The Dead in like 2000? Throw in Hornsby, Kimock and John K and this is pretty cool. AFAIK it was The Dead's tour in 2005(?) with Warren Haynes on lead.

OniKun posted:I really want to make those Chicago shows, but I just can't see myself managing to afford flights, hotel, plus tickets. I also bet that they are going to sell out really, really, really fast. I actually live in Chicago and I still think it's an impossible journey. If we get tickets to just one night, I'll be overcome with joy. It's gonna be the hottest ticket in town this summer for sure. We may end up just wandering around shakedown all weekend hoping for some luck.

I work in produce, and a friend of mine with deep pockets was looking to score 3 day passes for all of us. He brought his laptop into the store and set it up on the cantaloupe display. I was getting off at 10 when the on sale started, so he kept giving me updates on the countdown timer. At 10, I punched out and booked it to his car, where we sat in the parking lot fighting TM to see if we secured anything. It took close to 90 minutes, but we eventually did get 4 passes. It wasn't until I got home and started browsing Facebook and the news sites to realize how lucky we got.

I think you'd be hard struck to find a definitive biography, mainly because I'd be surprised if any one person close to the band remembers more than half of it. It would take a ton of legwork to piece it all together, and it probably wouldn't move enough copies to justify the publisher's advance necessary to take the time to do the work.

The July shows were fine. You don't go to a Dead show expecting them to perform well. You go to a Dead show hoping they pull off something special. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's the way they've always been.

me your dad posted:Do the Dead have any super spacey mellow songs? I'm thinking something like this, which is tangential to the Dead, but I would like more and it seems like they would have been great at this style: Check out Grayfolded. John Oswalt did a two disc plunderphonic mashup of Dark Star that will probably be right up your alley. https://youtu.be/e-6MUqLzAXM Edit: fun fact, it's the only officially released grateful dead album to feature every single member of the band Arms_Akimbo fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Jan 6, 2021 |

I have tried harder to simply "get" phish than I ever have with any other band. I don't need to like them, I just want to understand the appeal because there are so many better bands in the jam scene. I had always just chalked it up to them being in the right place at the right time when Dead tour suddenly came to an end in 1995. Then I heard this Antelope and it finally clicked https://youtu.be/ETBSTYHmVUI I heard a funny anecdote on a podcast recently. They were talking about all the heads that got locked up when phish played deer creek, and when they got to jail/prison, it was full of heads still doing time from the last time the Dead played there. They were like "wait, phish is the band now? How did that happen?" E: I should clarify, they knew jerry had passed, they were just wondering how it ended up being phish and not like, allman bros or blues traveler Arms_Akimbo fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Apr 9, 2021 |

Road Trips are curated shows that aren't already Dick's/Dave's Picks that are released digitally by the band. If you want a good "best of" that isn't whole sets, track down old recordings of David Gans' Grateful Dead Hour. https://youtu.be/dKU-Re1kp8o Arms_Akimbo fucked around with this message at 00:42 on May 7, 2021 |

hatelull posted:Do you notice a difference in their playing and jammy quality when the band were deep into the H compared to say, the Veneta show? I haven't gone past that '79 Winterland show ... yet. There's a few shows on YouTube between 85 and 87 where Jerry is completely smacked. If you talk to old heads a lot of them are bitter about that era, all the BS to get a ticket and get in the show just to have Jerry basically nodding off on stage

I don't think the dead would have kept touring much longer even if Jerry had lived. Tour was going off the rails. They couldn't contain all the people that were showing up without a ticket after they were already selling out the biggest venues in the city, not to mention the municipal hurdles a tour that size needed to jump. My guess is things would be pretty much the same as they are now except jgb stayed on tour and they wouldn't have needed trey for fare thee well

An ironic Bruce Hornsby?
