Bravo, and thank you... 
All this was ever meant to be was a thread where people who don't like the dead can come in, and voice what they feel.. I am not downing any fans, because i will admit i went to maybe 20 to 30 shows over the years.. I have friends who are still card carrying lot kids, and who are some of the nicest people on earth.. I totally agree their message, and the vibe around the show was maybe the best thing ever.. It's just the music it's self.. But hey if you love the dead, then by all means that is cool, and i will never knock any fans.
OK that's pretty low hitting Dylan.. Mr Tambourine man was not a great singer either i must say, and i never claimed to like him. .
Carlos Santana will always be my favorite of that era..
Steve Vai: Passion and Warfare.. nuff said..
But i will not take back what i said.. I feel the dead was like going to a great party in the beginning, and seeing friends who you only see at that time. It had a miserable middle when they played, but kicked back up in the lot after.. My opinions only..

garcia may have not had a great voice by conventional standards...but it was perfect for the music he played. ive heard his songs covered by people with much "better" voices and it just doesnt sound right. give me garcia's cracking voice, forgetting lyrics anyday over someone with a "good" american idol type voice.

I don't understand how you can describe the dead like that? I know its what you think but I feel the opposite about most of the things that you said, but I really love the dead, they hold a very special place in my heart and life.
So count me out :P

 I'll reccomend to you what got me started on the dead. Never liked their studio stuff. Then, song by song I started listening to the album "Birth of the Dead" - the live songs. It's like 14 songs, all live obviously, from their real early days. It's nothing less than incredible, I assure you. Try it out if you want. Listening to that on acid yesterday made my brain

You'll listen to the Dead one day and it will just click. If not, well..that sucks.

Agreed. You just gotta search around, there will be that one era or one song that will make it all click for all of you.

It's true. I thought the dead weren't anything special until I heard a recording of them playing althea at rockpalast

Anyone ever wonder why you keep seeing threads about how the shroomery sucks now? Threads like this one don't help. So you don't like the dead? neither do I but SO WHAT? What? do you want a prize or something? Go ask your mother what you're supposed to do when you don't have anything nice to say.
And really, what's the end game here? is this what it takes for you to feel like a man? Shitting on other peoples joy?
I don't see you writing music that millions of people enjoy or starting a movement that spans decades and touches lives in a possitive way. untill you do, maybe you could keep your shitty opinions to yourself.
