For me, it's a trip back to another era (even one for which I was not alive yet)......
Here is a good live version of a song about Jerry Lee.
They don't call me the killer for nothing
Dangerous methamphetamine buzzin
Crazy enough to marry my 1st cousin
Touched by the devil, paranoid hell raiser
F*** Chuck Berry, I'm the real trail blazer

The whole Europe 72 live album is just masterful. Absolutely a must listen for a music lover. Pure Americana.
I'll have to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendation.
My Grateful Dead knowledge is limited, despite growing up 5 minutes away from Red Rocks and 45 minutes from Boulder, where they played many a show. A friend at college had the American Beauty CD, which I thought was great (and still do). That was my major introduction to the Dead, aside from "Touch of Grey" when it came out....which gives me an idea....

The chorus to this one is very appropriate for these times.....and the positive vibes of this thread.....
I love turning people on to the dead. Gotta be the most misunderstood band of all time. I don't think people are aware of their timeless catalog of over 150 originals. Europe 72 gets a lot of people to listen closer.
I'd agree on them being misunderstood......
Went to Cleveland in June of 2018. Got a good look at one of Jerry's guitars. Not my picture, but this one was on display.....

A great cover by Marty Stewart and the boys, those Fender Guitars sound so sweet!
Have a margarita or ice cold beer and a good plate of Mexican food when listening to this:

What do you guys think is misunderstood about them though? I just don’t like them because their music does nothing for me...it’s not because I think they are void of vision/talent.
Heart is so good. Chicks can wail!
I won't speak for anyone else....but growing up, I had always heard that they were punk rockers (which they obviously aren't), or that it was psychedelic noise with no organization to it.
With that being said, everyone has their personal tastes. I read a Rolling Stone article a few years ago (I think to correspond with the Dead's 50th anniversary). Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane stated that she was a bigger fan of the Grateful Dead as people than she was of their music...and it wasn't that she didn't like their music; she was just more into harder rock.
Damn...she needs to quit with the nachos and choose a salad once and a while. Yikes.
How about a little Prine by way of Tedeschi Trucks... and some Dead for good measure.

I've never met someone who has actually listened to more than the few radio cuts, who doesn't like them. People think they know what their music is, but dont know they have covered every genre extensively, classical, cowboy, jazz, blues, gospel, rock bluegrass, jug music you name it. They are all about collective improvisation, no other band before or after are quite like that. Some jam bands try, but none have the musicianship of the dead. If you dont know who Robert Hunter is, you cant say you've heard enough to form an opinion. The guy wrote the last great american songs.
OH, MY GOODNESS!!!! Someone ELSE likes these guys/this song????
I’m a big fan. Susan has a great voice but I think Trucks is one of, if not the best contemporary guitarist around. Love his style.
If that's what you got out of that, I question your comprehension. Just a troll adding nothing. Scum of the web.
Please let me know what I was supposed to infer out of your post, because I already knew everything you typed. Thanks.
Wow...I’m not even sure where I was trying to “stir shit.” You assumed that anyone who doesn’t like them doesn’t understand them. Then you attempted to condescend by throwing out a wiki page. Get some thicker skin fella. If someone not liking your music fires you up this much, I can only imagine how real life treats you. Hope no one “insults” you the rest of this weekend fella.
Saying I've never met anyone ,does not mean anyone or everyone pal. You came in to start shit. No respect for idiots like yourself. Look at your introduction to this thread. The first douchebag post in an otherwise positive thread. A trend with you.
