The problem is most people just haven't been introduced to them properly. They played a lot of shit shows, so you can't just dive into their live stuff not knowing anything.
If you watch these both of these shows on something good (preferably lsd), you'll get it and be a fan for life sunshine daydream 8/27/72

You don;t have to. but some people, including me, need it to get over themselves and their preconceived notions of music so they can see that the dead really were the greatest of all time.

TBH, I really like a few Dead tunes. They made some good music.

SPOT ON! I think that I have seen pretty much EVERYTHING of the Dead that is on film. For an new bee, the brand new Scorcesee documentary on Amazon is quite informative.
As far as PURITY, I always found this you tube video to be a GREAT representation of what a live Dead show was like in 1977-ish. One of their best years IMHO:

oh, and one more thing: It;'s so funny, when I would try to watch video or television on psychedelics, I would always be noticing the two plants on either side of the screen flowing back and forth, or just tripping out on the texture of the "ANYTHING"! LOL!
Once when I was in high school the Dead were going to be on tv like on Dick Clark's Bandstand or some stupid shit and my friend and I took a hit of widow pain each! Last thing we fucking cared about was watching a television screen! LOL!
It's easy to fall in love with the music, but I don't care what anyone says: if you never saw Jerry Garcia live, then you never will know exactly how amazing it could be. Sand YES, I have seen plenty of piss-poor shows. But it takes all senses: Sound, site, SMELL, touch and taste to have a TRUE life experience. It's like watching porn. Having sex is so much better in every way!
I'm sure you'll agree! You have GREAT taste!

No matter bro. You "get it" and it's a beautiful place to stumble upon.
Maybe I'll see you at Dead and Co? I go cause my friends are there and it's close, but I am a true Jerry FREAK, so nothing that John Mayer can do is even close to Garcia. he was a special kind of player.

I'm a Jerry nut too. He feels like a mythical figure to me since he was already dead when I fell into it. Not at all a Mayer fan. Chris robinson said Mayer is the antithesis for everything Jerry stood for and I tend to agree. still gonna see dead n co in va this yr tho!

There are good dead songs, even if you don't like them if you listen to them enough you'll find songs you like. But the part of the dead I like the most is actually the work they did for other bands. Take, for example, Jefferson Airplane's plastic fantastic lover, which has a mindblowingly good guitar lead on it courtesy of the dead.
I'm not the biggest fan of all of their material, but even I have some songs of theirs that I like. Besides, people go to dead concerts for reasons other than the music. Or at least they used to.

Great Point. Surrealistic Pillow would NEVER had been such an amazing album if not for Jerry: credited as "spiritual adviser"
David Crosby, "If I could Only Remember My Name" Paul Kantnet, "Blows Against The Empire" (one of the greatest psych LPs ever! CSN&Y: "Teach Your Children" (That's Jerry on pedal steel New Riders of the Purple Sage: EVERYTHING Jefferson Airplane: "Surrealistic Pillow" Bruce Hornsby and the Range: "Across the River"
Just to name a few!
Grateful Dead is an acquired taste. No doubt about it. But as Jerry said: "Not everyone likes black licorice but those who do, REALLY love black licorice!".

Name one band that was 100% unique.
Jimi Hendrix. How about him?
Plus, It bothers me not that you don't like the Dead. It;s like if you told me you were gay. What the hell do I care what your musical or sexual preferences are.
Sorry, I realiZe this thread is so old. But I am brand new. I will stop now. I could actually explain how the Dead are unique, but what's the point. Like my friend SANDING BOY says (You tube him): "WHO GIVES A CRAP?"
I'm done. Thanks for reading. love to everyone! and thank God for musical diversity!
