There are some good songs from that era like Viola Lee and cream puff war, but on the whole they kinda sucked back then

Radio Spiricom posted:late convert here -- just started listening to the dead the other day on a whim and for the past 3 days they've been all i've been listening to. i guess it was bound to happen that it's finally clicking in a way it didn't when my friends in hs tried selling me on em (was always more into punk/hardcore/post-punk) but really how could i possibly dislike a band that tried titling an album skullfuck? If you really want to dive in with both feet I’d say you’re ready for Mickey Hart’s Mystery Box next.

It was almost unlistenable. It’s like they couldn’t hear each other. Maybe the monitors weren’t working.

You’d assume that’s it’s Billy who’s responsible for having to do all the songs half speed, but it might just be Bobby. His stuff with the wolf boys or whoever they are is slow as poo poo too.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=--podlMpJP0 Man, Phil sounds trashed on this one. This is probably many people’s favorite Grateful Dead song, period. And RIP Robert Hunter. He was a very talented guy that probably didn’t get the recognition he deserved as a songwriter because he was associated with a dumb musical thing for a lot of his career. But he wrote some really great lyrics. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Sep 25, 2019 |

I saw Merle and Melvin play a show together in basically a bar one night 20 something years ago and it was one of the best shows I can remember. Both really talented dudes.

He hasnt really been worth seeing in at least 10 years, but he’ll be dead one of these days and I’ll be sad I missed a chance to see him when it was easy to go.

I listened to that again recently and it is pretty good but there’s this one part in the encore where they do that sick st. Stephen and then a completely dull and long NFA and right at the end of it Phil takes the worst bass solo I’ve ever heard. It make me laugh out loud. Worth listening to the show just for that.

I think Brent started the 80s off strong but at some point someone told him it was ok to go full jingle bells with his keyboard patches and it just ruins songs for me.

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: In short bursts they have stuff that sounds like lots of different parts of that song but not a dedicated song other than Space and who knows what you’re getting with Space. It was usually boring. It’s been decades since I’ve listened to it, but check out Infrared Roses. Might be something there you like.

hatelull posted:Not sure there is a huge amount of overlap between this thread I've been silently lurking in and the vinyl thread but here goes anyway. The Paris 5/3/72 show is getting a Record Store Day release. I haven’t heard it either but that was pretty much their peak. Even an off night is going to be good. I have one of the other nights in Paris and it’s killer.

Scalper tickets for the pit in Mansfield are almost $900 before tax and service charge. Who a) has the money to pay that much for a ticket and b) would want to be in the pit for Dead & co?

If you’re talking about heroin it was pretty much all of the 80s and part of the 90s except for periods where he got clean. And I’m sure he was doing tons of blow all through the 70s.

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. They were pretty fuckin up tempo in 76/77/78. I suspect the dressing rooms looked the Christmas display in a department store window. But as far as Jerry’s playing went, I think he was pretty boring in the late 80s. He got in a nice groove with Brent sometimes but a lot of it sounds paint by numbers to me. I’m sure the shows were a blast to go to but the music wasn’t that inspired. I think I even prefer some 90s runs when Jerry’s voice was shot. He seemed to be more engaged. I think I’ve said it before, but listen to the scarlet fire from 10/01/94 that opened up the 2nd set. It’s the best transition between the songs I’ve ever heard, better than anything they did in the 70s. They were locked in. I think he was clean in 94 and relapsed in 95. https://archive.org/details/gd94-10-01.pmb.pujol.15079.sbeok.shnf Listening to it again, the scarlet fire transition is great, but the transition from slipknot into franklins sucks just like it always does. How come they always botch that? The studio version is perfect and every time they played it live that I’ve heard it’s awkward. Even on one from the vault they eat it on the transition.

The Grateful Dead were really good. It’s too bad Jerry couldn’t get clean and stay clean. They could still be touring. At the time it seemed like they had been touring forever, but looking back now it was kind of a short run. Phish has already passed them and they’ll keep playing for years. Springsteen did it longer and he’s probably not done. Plenty of bands who do big touring schedules like they did have passed them or will soon. Like dumb jam bands like String Cheese and Moe have been around for over 20 years. They’ll outlast the Dead. I don’t even want to jinx it but Dylan’s been touring for just about 60 years and he was doing over 100 dates a year not that long ago. Edit- saying it’s “too bad “Jerry couldn’t get clean is stupid, it’s tragic he couldn’t get clean. He was wonderful. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jun 21, 2021 |

Sharks Eat Bear posted:My counterfactual fantasy would be Jerry getting clean but pivoting away from the Dead and just playing smaller acoustic/bluegrass shows into old age. Jerry dying is a tragedy for sure, but not because it robbed of us another 20 years of Dead shows IMO I had more fun at DGQ shows than just about any concerts I can think of. He could have joined.

Arms_Akimbo posted: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
