Grateful Dead Appreciation Thread - Page 2

This is the thread I have been looking for. The Grateful Dead are the GREATEST band and musical influence to walk the Earth. I never got to see them with Jerry but I am blessed enough to have seen Bobby and Phil and Mickey more than 150 times throughout their different tours and I got to see them all get back together for Mardi Gras earlier this year.

I would have to say that some songs that stick in my mind (not necessarily favorites as I would call all of their songs my favorites) would be:
St. Stephen, Franklin's Tower, China Cat Sunflower, Terrapin Station, NFA, Sugar Magnolia, Scarlet Begonias, Ripple... I'll end up listing their entire history if I keep going. I love finding new shows that I haven't heard yet and jamming along with the band on my harmonica.

What else can I say? I love The Grateful Dead.

Always Grateful.

Love the Dead.

The closest I ever got to a show was the parking lot of a show they played in Boston, in '93 (i think.. maybe '94). I wasn't able to get a ticket, but I did trip out on acid for the very first time that night.

anybody get tickets to the show at penn state?

maybe i should rephrase...anybody got an extra ticket to the show at penn state?

i'll be in the parking lot hoping for a miracle.

ticketmaster pulled such a cruel joke..it let me get all the way to the checkout before telling me that tickets are SOLD OUT. AGHHH. gutted like a fish.

Sources confirm that the surviving members of the Grateful Dead — guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann — are planning to tour in April and May of 2009. There’s no word yet on the band’s configuration — previous configurations of “The Dead” and The Other Ones have included singer-guitar hero Warren Haynes, guitar ace Jimmy Herring, singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi, singer Joan Osborne, keyboardists Jeff Chimenti and Rob Baracco, as well as guitarists Mark Karan and Steve Kimock.

Man as a kid my dad used to play Workingman's Dead on cassette when we would travel to go racing. To this day I still fucking love every song on that album.

kush452 · #28 (**permalink**) 12-07-2008, 05:52 AM

well i dont really care for the grateful dead so much. they just never turned me on in a music sense. However, I appreciate everything they stand for and the culture they helped inspire. Although, if someone puts them on I am always down.It is just not stuff I listen to by myself.

Bliss junkie · #29 (**permalink**) 12-07-2008, 11:02 PM

i love love love the Grateful Dead

throwing stones is an amazing song
and anytime i have a panic attack all i do is play sugar magnolia

nuggeteer · #30 (**permalink**) 12-08-2008, 03:10 AM

Best band ever. Now we've got Bobby and Phil doing their own stuff, which is still awesome to see. Mickey too i guess, although I haven't checked that out. However rumors of a reunion tour in the spring.. lets all hope it happens!
