Grateful Dead

Love your city, not that I've been there since 1971. Welcome! (There's a Dead Heads of Europe thread as well, which isn't nearly as active as this one, but may be helpful in connecting with locals.)

Welcome to the club!! Jump right in, the water is fine.

Was at Merriweather Post Pavilion last night for a re-scheduled "Chicks" concert. Great show, impressive ratio of women to men. But these children!! Yap, yap, yap, all night long. I tried my best to tune it out. One song finally got quiet when the audience was able to recognize that the video screen was filled with women & girls, and that this was a song they just MIGHT want to listen to.

Does anyone actually LOVE music anymore, FFS??

plenty tasty to me

certainly better that 8/28/88 (not a release, I know)

Welcome aboard.
Ok, baptism by fire: lol, 47 the worst?...pssshhaaw ; )
Why do you think so?

Have been a follower since the Trapeze days, loved that Madusa LP. Big fan of Richie Blackmore when he was with Purple, and of course Tommy Bolin, one of the best for sure, he was great with the James Gang and Deep Purple and finally gets his own recognition and releases two great lps and poof, he's gone. So cool to see Glenn, still rockin.
Not a big fan of Clapton, loved Cream, and Blind Faith, after that, not so much. I have seen him many times, always seen to see him on a day or nite when he just ain't there. In the 70's when I saw him, too drunk to play, in the 80's same just a sloppy drunk guy trying to play even with that great band he had in the 80[s he just seemed to always dissapoint me. In the 90's sounded like an album was playing, very homogenized and no real flair. Always wanted to catch him on an on nite, never did.
Ledded hope the Eagles don't disapoint, they have always been top notch when I was lucky enough to see them. Aerosmith, loved them in the 70's, when Steven and Joe were knows as the toxic twins. Saw Tyler fall off of a stage, hit the floor and never miss a lick in the 70s, he was quite the showman in his prime, should be a rocker too.
I was thinking about Peter Gabriel this fall but I have this great memory of his Secret World tour and I just don't think he could be better than that. Even if I could get into the same frame of mind as I was back then, and the cost is way more.
Lots of cool shows coming up, just got to poke around.

My first post here - had a hard time getting it right.. 52, lives in Denmark - Deadhead since about 1988.. saw the guys just once - one afternoon long ago.. in Sweden 1990 - gone are the days.. Not a big fan of Daves 47.. I think the weakest Pick for many years.. Probably the greatest band in the world..

Hallo All - greatings from wonderful Copenhagen..

While bouncing around the archive found a section call "Jam Cruise Jam Room".

Found a good chunk of shows recorded by Charlie Miller,,, I think mostly Steve Kimock. Like he was the official recorder for Steve. But some really GREAT shit and Great recordings. You know the man can clean up other's people recordings, but his own are VERY good.

For those in the know, I will probably be posting these shows. There isn't a lot of titles they just seem to jam, though the 20 minute "Stand by Me" was great, backup vocals sounded like Sarah Fulcher from Garcia 12.

Also, working one downloading all the Everyone Orchestra,,,, some GREAT stuff there.

Enjoy

Thinking of growing old, experiencing loss, developing health problems etc etc - I've gone through all of that myself over the last 20 years or so - and I am sure there will be much more to come ! But I'm still far happier at 66 than I was at 16. Or 26 come to that.

Hmmmmmm?
