Now it is time for you to graduate to Zappa 😉 excellent video by the way!

New Year’s Eve three years ago I listen to a Jerry Garcia band album called electric on eel. JGB being more blues influenced it was easier to digest than the dead. Once that got the hook on me the dead clicked!

I don't like either... lyrical miracle glazing...

I’m late but this is such an amazing video essay. I am a guitar player who sort of always stayed in the casual jammer bracket as far as musical progression. I am 34 yo, been playing since 12. I’ve also been a big GD fan since my teens. Lately, I have rediscovered my love for guitar and as I did, I started getting into the GD more. Listening to them and jamming along to them while studying music theory has completely blown my mind and opened up my style. It’s allowed me to breakthrough this wall. I love that you chose to discuss your love for Terrapin Station, and more specifically, Estimated Prophet as the catalyst for your exploration into the live albums. I had this same epiphany. Love this video.

So, I'm here. It's sort of a bucket list, I guess. Never understood the draw of the music but yet feeling like I am absent of experiencing an entire earthly culture. I'm about to watch your video to see if it's now or never. 😊

I grew up surrounded by this culture with my family and there friends but none of it ever grew on me maybe because I was just so used to it, but I never just was only into rap I loved all sorts of music but mostly melodic and angst sounding tunes, I recently have been around a group of “dead heads” and was curious what makes them scratch that itch about all of this, I guess I’ll give it a try but I don’t involve myself with dr*gs and that seems to push me away a bit but I’m sure I can still appreciate it without involving that.

Hey man. Where did you go? Are you ok?

It is one thing to listen to an album, or to watch a live concert video of the Grateful Dead. But to have been in the audience, to have felt Phil Lesh's Bass line in your chest, to hear Jerry and Bob sing and play live, is a whole different experience. First show was 9/6/80 in Lewiston, Maine, and my last show was 6/24/95 in Washington, D.C., with many thousands of miles and smiles in between. I am glad you are appreciating The Dead, but there is no replacing the actual live experience. RIP Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland and Vince Welnick. Without you there was no Grateful Dead.

Now go down the Meshuggah rabbit hole and report back in 5 years.

update us when you finally accept that you are a deadhead, lol

Thanks

I hate it when I find an amazing under appreciated channel that I binge watch in 2 days only to find out they have stopped uploading 3 years ago 😔

Your voice sounds like Anthony Jeselnik. Lol By the way Grateful Dead? Best Band Ever!

You had to hear it at eleven

I'm not a deadhead lol😂😂😂😂😂 me either pal

Rap sucks imo

Catholics have the Pope. Buddhists the Dhali Llama. We have Bobby.

The Dead have an uncanny way of writing and performing some the happiest ("Don't Ease Me In") and depressing ("Warf Rat") songs in American music. And their audience wants to hear them all. The only other artist (and ensemble) that affected me (musically) in this way was possibly Miles Davis. Phil Lesh explains it his book: (paraphrasing) "...We discovered, in rehearsals, that we had four types of music we learned to play..and found that our audience wanted to hear all of it..our own songs, "space jams", classic rockabilly and Bob's (Weir's) "cowboy songs". The Dead raised the bar so high for live recordings with both sound quality and performance that it may NEVER be surpassed by ANY working band. Caught my first Dead show at 16 (Capitol Theater, Port Chester NY Feb '71...) Been "on the bus since '73" and member of Dead.net. Today I have more "Dead" recordings than any other band. Miles is a close second. Not sure what song did it for me...but I loved the "Skull&Roses" album when I was still in HS. Maybe because I had an aunt who's name was "Bertha". In Oct' '73 I attended the "Wake of the Flood" tour in Madison WI (complete with Wall-of-Sound 1.0) and my musical life was changed forever.

I’m a huge dead fan now and was originally a rap fan and did this subconsciously and he just put it into words.

Jerry said playing music in a studio was like building a ship in a bottle but playing for a live audience was like rowing a boat in the ocean.

The Grateful Dead, imho, is a philosophy. They’re the closest example of music theory in action. St. Stephen 5/5/77 is transcendent for me. Jerry had a quote about songs that I have to paraphrase. He basically said that music is out there in the universe and he catches a song and shares it with the audience through their performances. Music should always be that way.

A video about why this guy had a hard time liking Grateful Dead, waste of time

My guy, check out Widespread Panic. Listen to the panic in the streets album live in athens georgia. You will not regret

MF DOOM was murdered in hospital, completely neglected by the hospital staff and couldnt even ask for help. It genuinely breaks my heart that he died after falling out of bed trying to ask for help

I think they're a horrifyingly over rated band. While i appreciate their musicianship and ability on their instruments to me most of their songs all sound the same. They all have that kind of aimless meandering tone and then Gerry's plodding aimless leads. I watched a classic live concert tape they did and I couldn't help but think when ever a new song started up.. "Gee it sounds exactly like the last song" I will never change my opinion that they're helicopter music for hippie chicks.

I'm going to be 100% honest. I got into the Grateful Dead because I really like dropping acid. One day, I got some tabs that had the Dead Set live album cover on them so I decided to give em a listen. I started with Dead Set (of course) and AoxomoxoA because it had a cool name. Eventually I found a great Dark Star/St Stephen/ NFA/GDTRFB/NFA from '71 at the Fillmore West while I was tripping balls and it absolutely blew my mind. After that, I discovered just how obsessed one could be with a band. But they were more than just a band. Out of all the people who do what they did, they were the first and they did it the best... but I sure hope they won't be the last. Ladies and Gentlemen... The Grateful Dead "Listen to my music, Hear what it can do There's something here that's strong as life I'm sure that it will reach you" (Wait, wrong band)

An interesting thing about Europe 72 is some of the songs are Matrixed' They came back and listened to the tour recording's and didn't like some of the parts , so all their equipment was set up like they had it during the tour and re-recorded some parts in the songs and dubbed that over the track.. Amazingly few know this..

Freddie 🧹

MF DOOM is that guy who never has to try and still sounds better than anybody including Freddie Gibbs.

One of my friends said it best they’re not a band that makes listening to them casually easy

Amen, brother! The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began!

This is very relatable, I’ve had a similar experience with them. Thanks for sharing 😊

Nothing left to do but smile smile smile

I'm with your thesis, but rap might not be a relatable example. I have to FORCE myself to turn off my brain enough to appreciate rap. Even then, it's still just, blah.

I'm just now getting into the Grateful Dead but everything you said is exactly how I felt When I first discovered King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard they are like the modern day Grateful Dead

You are so valid about how you became a fan. Personally, the song that drew me in was Good Lovin on the Shakedown Street album. I just loved how catchy and groovy it was. Then I listened to the live versions and it blew me away

Try dosing and listening to them

I couldn't get myself to like rap if my life depended on it.

Check out pretty lights it’s the modern electronic hip hop funk soul reincarnation of the dead

You would love jazz as a genre. It’s all about standards and spontaneity, and every version of every song is different every time it’s played. Highly recommend Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz as a good starting point

“Once in a while, you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right”

Bjork is not pop music.

It isn’t a rap album.

Great video, I needed this, thank you.

Love the way the show “Freaks and Geeks shows how you might get on the bus

great video bro. i'm the same way, die hard rap fan my whole life until my sister took me to a dead and company show.. life changed

I used to really dislike country, then I started listening to the Dead, this was back in the 70s.

I went into the Dead through the '60s stuff; there was always a line that I drew with certain periods until I eventually got to the point where the line didn't exist anymore. At first, it was '60s primal Dead only, then no post-Pigpen, then not past the '70s, but I love it all now. Each era has something to offer as well as something to get used to.
