I just signed up here and wanted to tell you my story with the Grateful Dead. I am 56 and consider myself a pretty sophisticated listener of rock music, but I admit I never really listened to a lot of the Grateful Dead. Recently I got hold of a lot of their catalog and am loving it. I do prefer the early albums, they sound unrehearsed, off the cuff and simplistically produced, but it gives them so much charm. The albums in the late 70's seem over produced to me... too slick and missing the raw charm. I now know why these guys were so revered in concert. I just listened to Dead Set and was stunned at how good it, and they are live. Astounding really. So far ahead of so many bands. The heartfelt vocals are so damn good. Truly an eye opening experience for me. I took me too long to get here. All the best.

No. Just no.

holy moly the podcast is amazing... so many things right with the way the people run the dead now.. the vinyl releases.. the amazing podcast... thank you!!

unfortunately, bands with as big a cult following as the dead can garner a wide variety of people in their fanbase, and the trump crew is not exempt. most every deadhead i know is vehemently against fascism, many of them outright anarchists or at the very least socdems. i wouldn't let the trumpists represent the dead just because they have big numbers in the community. jerry did not stand for fascism, racism, or bigotry in any form, and he absolutely would not want his music being used to support that ideology.

Exciting to hear this music in brilliantly remastered form, not to mention 7/2/71! One comment, all the original live tracks on the new release show Fillmore East. I believe three are from Manhattan Center and one from Winterland?

It is absolutely outrageous that Dead and Company would push the covid vaccine on its fans. The vaccine has killed 10s of 1000s of people, is experimental and untested, is not a real vaccine and u have a much greater chance of dying from the vaccine than from covid. It is outrageous and reckless and will kill deadheads. U r not doctors or scientists. Watch this video and wake up and immediately remove any vaccine policy to see ur shows and save lives:
