Grateful Dead - Reckoning

Whats up? Only been listenin' to the grateful dead for a little over 2yrs now but have become extremely attatched to them. To the point they are pretty much the only thing I listen to. I can just get into every song and sometimes even relate. Its sucks I was born too late. Anyway, the other day was feelin' a little on the lowside. Yeah, life sucks sometimes, but oh well. Decided to go for a mountain ride and smoke a blunt. Throw in the album "Reckoning" and the fact it was actually an awesome day out, the ride ended up turning my day around. I come to realize how much i love that album. Europe '72 and Blues for Allah still my favorites though. It just moved me in someway id ont know. I'm always lookin' for more listenin' suggestions, so fill me in. thanks. keep truckin' on.

Reckoning is a good listen. I'm enjoying Terrapin Station myself. A fat j of some purple kush and this cd will definitely put you in the right mood

Yes, music is wonderful!

It affects your emotions very powerfully. And cannabis makes music even better.
Op, i know what you mean when you say that you feel specially attached to a certain album.

plus, greatful dead is always a win imo.

nothing left to do but smile smile smile... check out archive.org

Reckoning and Dead Set were the two albums that really got me into the Dead. I second archive.org. Be careful, it can be a tad addictive.

thnks guys. will be checking it out

box of rain ftw

If you want a ridiculous live recording from the Dead check out Steppin' Out with Grateful Dead '72 or live from cow palace '76. Or anything from 72-74 which is their best years IMHO

Yes...one of the best shows ever. I love when the microphone feeds back at the beginning of 'Bertha' and they all go 'Hee hee!" 'Big River' is tight, 'Eyes of the World' is great...just awesome

The next night, 1977-05-08 is even more legendary for its 'Scarlet/Fire' as I'm sure most of us are well aware

The Internet Archive is one of the best websites on the Internet and a good deal of its awesomeness is owed to their vast, vast Grateful Dead live archives

yeah internet archive is crazy!

sux they don't allow soundboard downloads anymore.. but it's still full of awesomeness.

One of my favorite albums is the Werewolves at Red Rocks show from '78.

Cassidy and Eyes of The World are my favorite Dead songs.

My parents were big dead-heads back in the day and my dad decided to give me his old dead concert jacket, It has back-stage passes lining the inside and patches all over the outside with some embroidery and what not.

Its fuckin' tight . . .

thanks agian. ill be checkin these out

dude i feel ya the dead is so good, just blazing a few joints of dank and putting on blues for allah is just awesome. also man listen to some phish or string cheese incident. jam bands mkae the best music out there. peace and love man

The first time i listened to the song "To Lay Me Down" on the Reckoning album...i almost cried..no lie. and yes i am a guy:smoke:
