Grateful Dead

That may have been a National characteristic, and the hippie/freak - whatever- community in England may have been more laid back than the American version - but that wasn't really a characteristic of live shows by heavy, punk, rock n' roll bands I saw here over the decades. Right up into the 21st Century you were taking your life in your hands if you ventured near the front at a Cramps gigs. And they weren't visiting Americans. In fact I'm not sure all of them were Earthlings.

In some ways, American Dead shows of the 1980's -90's remind me of the early rave scene in Britain. Thousands of young people getting together, taking ecstasy/speed/acid and having what sounded like near religious experiences. You couldn't hope to get any sense of what that scene was like unless you experienced it. It didn't fit on to a cd. Not that I ever went to a rave - just my impression talking to them that had.
Incidentally, more people seem to talk about what drugs they took at Dead shows than with any other band I know of. Of course drugs were taken at all sorts of gigs, but with The Dead they seemed more fundamental to the experience.

It was quite excellent imho

I was there, I had a great time. We were sitting right down front..

Gotta be honest...I rarely listen to any GD from the 90s, so I dont know too many Corinnas. However, 6/20/92 comes to mind. And...is it 10 14 94 that has a Corinna?

Overall it is a decent jammy song, and they could do some good stuff with it.

Maybe the time is right to revisit 90s GD. I happen to have 6 2 95 in the car stereo currently.

Hyperbole, of course

However, "oh I love to eat it every day
And if you ask me why I'll say
'cause Oscar Mayer has a way with b o l o g n a"

Who wears short shorts
We wear short shorts
If you dare wear short shorts
Nair for short shorts

Brill cream
A little dab will do ya
For men who use their heads about their hair

(Huh huh....they said dab...huh huh)

Gary - I still find it weird we both had this random song roiling around our heads at the same time. A great tune with a pretty hypnotic keyboard part. Before I was familiar with that song, I remember ex-Zombie Rod Argent had this popular song of his own in the early 70s - Hold Your Head Up - with an equally great keyboard stretch out.
Good luck with the lottery numbers.

I am pretty sure in the last 2 weeks I saw a documentary on psychedelic music on AXS tv. I think they may have said that Time of the Season was the first psychedelic hit. To me that doesn't sound right, I mean Magical Mystery Tour was already out. This show is done by a group out of England. They are interesting to listen to, but I question them some. On their show about psychedelia, they followed ELP, the Moody Blues, and one other, maybe Zombies. But yet, no mention of the Beatles, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and for me the Allman Brothers Band. But it is odd, that we had the same song going thru our heads at the same time. According to my Chinese take-out the lotto numbers should be 07-11-67-64-69.

Edit: Sgt. Peppers brain fog

I always dug the version on The Other Ones’ release “The Strange Remain”. Like a pot simmering and boiling up…

Like a wart, it grew on me. My fav is 5-26-93, but admittedly I rarely dive deep and compare.

Going in to check out 5-28-95; you always steer me right Stoltzie!

How about your fav? Any recommendations?
