I have never actually tripped to dead, although I imagine i'd enjoy Aoxomoxoa and Workingman's Dead. Discuss

I have never actually listened to them while tripping. Workingman's Dead is a good album. I would imagine Skeletons from the Closet would be a excellent album to listen to. The Beatles though, listening to Magical Mystery Tour on mushrooms is a experience. Also Jimi Hendrix Experience "Are You Experienced?" is a great album. Of course Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" but I classify that more as a stoner album than anything else. Some good watches are Pink Floyd's "Live at Pompeii" and Pink Floyd's "Pulse". Documentaries about musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain are also good watches.

Oh how could I forget Terrapin station.. I really like the idea of tripping to the actual song called Terrapin Station pt 1 but never really listened to the rest of the album too intently.

um, none of them... i'd put on a live show instead... most likely something from '73 or '74... sick WRS > Mind Left Body > TOO > Spanish Jam > Stella era shit...i love me some Mickey, but the Dead were better when it was just Billy the K holdin' it down back there... more space between the notes for the head to wander...

I have a neighbor who is a tapehead. He lent me a copy of my dad playing bass with the Grateful Dead. My dad has also played with Jimi Hendrix and he was a studio musician doing sessions for most of his career. He's on a million hit songs and records. He is one of three bass players on Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed. He helped to inspire me to take psychedelic drugs. So did my mom. My main inspiration though was my friend Louis who turned me onto the Beatles in college. He was a shroomhead.

maybe Ive consistently gotten bad songs but every time I tried listening to grateful dead I just cant turn it off fast enough.
never tried listening to them on lsd, that may be a different story.

They are definitely an acquired taste in my opinion. Same with Frank Zappa. You should start off listening to songs like Touch of Grey, St. Stephen, High Time, Dark Star. Their live stuff will probably not appeal until you understand them as musicians. They definitely did some solid songs though. I would still say The Beatles are the best band for mushrooms and Shpongle (namely Tales of the Inexpressible) is the best group for LSD but that is just my opinion.

Aoxomoxoa was what I used to acquire my taste for the Dead - since then i've been hooked.
edit: Shpongle has always been a bit too intense for me during trips, however, Nothing is Something Worth Doing is the one song I can take..

Yeah - good tripping experiences with that. Actually though, take in a live show. 
Oops, wait, wrong millennium... 
I seem to recall listening to Blues for Allah a time or two while tripping as well - be hard to go wrong there.

I don't particularly know a specific song by the dead to recommend but they were a great band of musicians. Monsters Of Folk may be to your liking if you'd like something more modern.
Also, I just found a band that I fell in love with after hearing only three songs and I strongly urge you and everyone else to check them out! Every member of the band plays several instruments and sings in several different languages and they're all pot smoking, mushroom loving earth worshippers. They're by far the coolest fuckers I've ever seen as I completely envy their lifestyle, not to mention the chick is the hottest thing on this side of the sun. They play what they call is celtic neo-pagan folk music but these fuckers do it all. Some songs are very much Celtic folksy, some are down right rock n roll and I've even heard one song of them playing a beautiful Celtic infused hip hop/rap thing. They're downright inspiring in how cultured, original and dynamic they are. I've never been this enraptured by a band in my life...then again, I just really got into playing music and not just being a listener but they embody my soul, it seems. Check em out..
Omnia is their name!

Haha, yeah. They have a unique style. The talent in that band is ridiculous and they've really inspired me. I play guitar and I've really been wanting to play flute and after seeing how many instruments try can play, well I'm going to get me a flute ASAP. I also love how they are almost completely folk instrument exclusive with the exception of piano and maybe some others. Look into their lifestyle, it's pretty awesome. I mean they play the fuckin jaw harp, bad asses! I might try to take up a bunch of those instruments.

That's what I'm saying! Did you watch the video called "earth warrior" the live sneak preview version. It's him and his wife singing in their house and holy fuck, it's awesome! So natural and peaceful and he's playing on a bouzouki that sounds so beautiful.
I'd die to live like that.

You should also see their other costumes. In some they dress up as elves, they wear some elegant shit and tons of other costumes. Also if you're interested in flute checkout the castle live performance of the Wylde hunt. Fucking bonafide and the guy playin the didgeridoo is a fucking beast.

That's awesome, man! You've got to tell me how that goes, haha! Play the Wylie hunt as you peak, just my two cents! Haha. Or their Celtic chanting song, forget the name. Also check out the song that starts with a K, can't think I'm so tired but its a pagan deity, the flute he uses I can't identify but it pierces the whole music and cuts it in two so beautifully.
Till tomorrow, man!

One time I took lsd and was walking down the street at like 3 am listening to tales of the inexpressible and all I heard was "get the fuck on the ground" and I turned around and there was k9 unit parked diagonally and like 5 cops pointing their guns at me. I kept walking like "holy shit your just tripping it isn't real" and I turned around like 5 seconds later and nothing was there haha.

Seriously? if this is what you contemplate with psychedelics, take a fricken higher dose. People are always wondering what the best documentary or movie or activity or album or whatever and they just can't shut up long enough to let the stuff work. LISTEN TO YOUR BRAIN. If you take a substantial enough dose, then you won't be thinking about the grateful dead, you'll be making images with sound and things much much more interesting, bizarre, peculiar. C'mon people, get past the "woah I was tripping my balls off at a concert" stage. Its alright to do that but its noob-ish. Make your own realities with this sacred substance.

Your opinion is "noobish", music is the language of the soul and experiencing it while psychedelics bring you into the spirit realm or whatever you'd like to call it is THE PRIME and ultimate experience of life. The essence of freedom and spiritual awakening is in your soul and your soul must listen and it must speak and you can't achieve this with your close minded thinking.
There is a reason that ancient tribes all over the world played music while takin psychedelics, duh, even the most basic shamans were playing the drums or pipes while drinking their psychedelic brew. Your statement is completely WRONG and that's the way it IS.

I like the Dead and they were a great psychedelic band. The live concerts were...well, as they used to say, there is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert. So true. 
Never been anything wrong with that... If you get confused just listen to the music play.

Sorry for flaming ya'll earlier. GreyMorph, I love music, but it's not "THE" language, it is "A" language and very often a guide for shamans... Yes I understand... But reality is contorted by all sorts of languages. Why don't you ask a shaman about listening to your CDs while tripping, its totally different than what they're doing. Shamans/primitive cultures aren't the be-all, end-all of the experience anyway. Far from it. All I was trying to say it that if you're completely loaded, these songs won't really matter because you'll be in a totally different place. THAT'S why the shamans sing their icaros, to guide them through. SINGING is different than LISTENING. It has different physiological effects.

Language is a form of self expression and soul searching, I don't understand why you don't see the light in it. The shamans culture is just a prime example and try had much more experience and knowledge of the experience than we have and there are shamanic cultures all around the world or at least there were and they were more experienced and knowledgable than us so I wouldn't downplay that aspect of our history or we will be doomed to repeat our mistakes and lose such knowledge once again. You can connect with music no matter how far you're gone, of course not every time but still, music is vital and yes, you're right about actually participating and singing, dancing, playing instruments however sometimes that's out of the question which is one of the reasons ancient shamans almost always used psychedelics in groups.

Nah. I sing and I play instruments and I listen, it all works exactly the same way. Just look at any FMRI study of people listening to music as opposed to making music - same activation centers, just to a different degree. 
Sure, they aren't necessarily musicians (though musicians have been studied) and they likely aren't shamans, but that's a pointless division anyway, as most anybody can study shamanic methods and learn to apply them (I have) - with or without drugs.

Can't forget Live/Dead, one of the greatest Dark Stars they ever played in my opinion.
Honestly though, it's hard to talk in terms of albums with the Dead, it's all great, but the live stuff is key, just about any live show will take your trip to some cool places. Anthem was a good album because it was essentially a "collage" of the band. It has segments of live shows edited into each other as well as songs made in the studio and overdubs etc.
Come on though, Europe 72

This. All of this. That Dark Star was the one that fully converted me. Heard it accidentally one day while frying and never looked back.

Rest in peace Lou Reed. He was amazing.
Wow Lou Reed died. Thanks for your post man. Even though it's only been a few days missed that one. Venus n furs time. Sorry to get off topic...
Not a huge dead fan but i like the idea of a band having a following like they do. Like psychedelic juggalos but in the best pissible way when comparing anyone to a juggalo
Lou Reed...

Every single one is good, great actually.
If I had to pick just one, it would have to be a live one, the Dead are best live. Considering which albums are under their "Discography" it would be between Europe '72 and Dead Set, imo. But what do I know
