What do you enjoy about the Grateful deads Music and the band overall?
I really like the freedom of the music and the wide range of sounds and such!! Hard to really compare a band to them.
Also is anyone just getting into them like me? Ive only been listening to them for like a year and think the music is just awesome!!

sometimes i think these guys were just average musicians but just took a lot of acid which made them GREAT! All my favorite songs Alligator, the other one, spanish jam, were all made when they were on heavy acid! thats where the magic happens!

I'm not sure if you can download shows off that site, but they have an app for smartphones or ipod touches or whatever that's the same exact thing as that website. it's called the Dead on Demand app or some shit idk

They have music you can just move around to. It all has a very positive push to it's sound. To be honest though, I didn't understand it until I listened to it while tripping once.

Archive.org has over 9000 dead shows I believe, though whoever owns the rights is stingy and lst I checked only audience shows were up for downloads.
But you can stream all the soundboard shows besides commercially released ones, and there are some quality aud recordings too.
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

The best thing about the Greatful Dead is the music is honest. Each rendition is unique as the passing moment it resides within. It's what music is all about.

5/8/77 at Barton Hall is widely regarded as the best Dead show ever.
Take a step back, and another step back, and another and another, take a step back...
What I like best about the Grateful Dead was all of it.

What do I love about the grateful dead?
Everything! I love how they combined numerous genres/sounds to create their own unique sound, I love the family feel one gets at shows. I like their musical exploration. The dead has been a constant in my musical repertoire for many years, it always comforts me when I need it, puts me in a great mood, heals my soul.
I listen to all sorts of music, but nothing tops the dead for me.
Some shows I suggest.
5/15/77 10/11/77 11/24/78 4/22/69 2/11/70 5/15/70 2/19/71 12/6/73 6/16/74 10/27/79 11/9/79 9/6/80 10/9/82 10/10/82 10/14/83 10/15/83 10/21/83 6/14, 6/15, 6/16/85, all the greek theatre shows from 81-89, I really like those 85 shows though. 7/29/88 10/29/85 11/1/85 11/2/85 12/30/86 7/2/88 all the Hampton 87 shows all the Alpine Valley 89 shows 10/8/89 & 10/9/89 Warlocks! most of spring tour 90 is amazing as well
those shows are a good place to start.

those are amazing shows.
i love that live they really stepped up their music. one of my favorite things about them was brent mydland. he was an amazing keyboard player who pushed the band to crazy limits. and then with jerry's leads and bobby's amazing rhythm guitar style, phil's awesome bass playing, and mickey and billy's drumming, they were an amazing fucking band. i love the grateful dead with all my heart. i'm actually wearing a dead shirt right now.

This whole show is spooky, I have read about it and people were leaving during dark star because they were freaking out. This dark star will take you there brother, wherever there is is up to you intrepid traveler.
