    The Grateful Dead are far and away the greatest band in the history of popular music. The Dead were the soul of America encapsulated in sound, due to their incorporation of just about every American musical style imaginable (jazz, bluegrass, country, folk, rock and roll, blues . . . the list just goes on and on), and yet they had and continue to have an universal, pananthropic appeal. And yet, for all their greatness, they have never received the recognition they deserve from the general public.

    The greatest musical era in the history of the human race. God bless you Jerry.

    great memory - around '77, I was cranking Franklins super duper loud in my room - my mother started dancing in the doorway -

    I'm 43. I grew up in the punk era on the east coast of the US. However, I like all kinds of music. I'm glad the technology exists to allow over a million people to view this piece of history, 34 years after it happened.

    Being a deadhead isn't just liking the music it's living the life of the dead and their music speaks to you.

    My mom and dad saw them several hundred times. The Dead weren't always on as some claim, but they always had a great time at Dead concerts while they followed them around the country. I was too young to remember anything significant at the Dead concerts I was at but have become a die-hard Dead fan growing up listening to their albums, listening to stories about the culture and watching performance videos on RUclips.
    Greatest band ever. Anyone who says differently is a philistine.

    In a rare interview, Jerry said: "I hope to learn the guitar before I die." This is some of the finest guitar playing that I witnessed live. Straight from God!

    12 years old searching for tix outside this show with my 18 year old sister and her boyfriend only to be denied. I was a little intimidated by the fact she told me everyone danced and a 12 year old boy didnt particularly want to dance. less than a year later at the ripe old age of 13 i finally got in at the garden and danced my ass off....

    I was at the Portland Scarlet Bags into Fire in '80, never been so scared and so ecstatic at the same time. These were some of my first years 'On the Bus'. This was Aural Alchemy. I'd dance for hours without ever touching down. And now they got me cryin' again, I can hardly stand this majestic and terrible beauty.

      Joe, that is SOOO cool!
      From 1975-1979, I saw The Grateful Dead in concert about 2-dozen times. What can I say?
      What other band was THE San Francisco Haight-Ashbury counterculture band that were THE house band for Ken Kesey's outrageous Acid Tests? That scene sparked a revolution that eventually radiated out and affect much of the entire world. Then, The Beatles caught a whiff of The Scene, "got on the bus" and took the counterculture vibe worldwide. The combination of the two changed the world.
      The Grateful Dead were an experience. The Grateful Dead were a philosophy. The Grateful Dead were magical. They rand hot and cold, but no other band toured nearly as much, not nearly. When they were on, it was like you were in another dimension of Bliss, Joy and Love. I've seen Paul McCartney live and in concert, and even he did not surpass the magic The Grateful Dead could, and DID, create when they were on.
      They had the greatest sound system of any band, much of it driven by McIntosh amplifiers and the like, truly among, if not, THE very best. I believe these guys will reverberate down the halls of time as a wonderful legacy for decades, if not centuries, to come. How excellent is that? Very!
      This old-time responsible hippie says, peace, joy and joy to you.

    Just as I remembered it from my fourth row seat. I am just blessed to have been given the opportunity to see those shows and a bunch more from 77 on, though I never had better seats for a Dead show than this night. I kinda liked Keith and Donna when they were with the band, at least when Donna was singing well. Playin' was never the same after she left the band. Brent was good; he looked whacked that night.

    @bambudude 14 лет назад

    Originals in so many ways... The first "Unplugged" shows in early 80's, first real Jam Band and had jam sessions with jazz musicians on their tours. Most of all it was just a real great time. As the old t-shirt said. "The Grateful Dead- It's not just a job, it's an adventure." Glad to see there are young, up and coming Dead Heads. Welcome to the tribe! May the blessings of the Buddhas and the Gods rest always upon the Grateful Dead!
