this implies that there's actually something to "get"

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Song(s): Eyes of the World; Looks Like Rain.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Ah geez. This is too tough to answer, so I'll go with the few that pop in my head:

Song: Althea, Friend of the Devil, China Cat Sunflower, Scarlet Begonias, Loser
Album: Workingman's Dead, but I almost never listen to their studio albums...
Live: presently, 8/7/82 (Alpine Valley) and 12/29/77 (Winterland, Dick's Picks #10)...this changes frequently though.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Song: Terrapin Station
Album: does Europe 72 count?
Live Show: most of the Fillmore East run from 71, and of course many of the fall 77 shows. besides Cornell, Boston Garden and Buffalo are fantastic.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

77 ruled....too bad I was only 1...

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Dead..never heard of them...



Song: Seriosuly that Varies, Duprees Diamond Blues, Hard To Handle (almost any pig pen really)

Albulm: I don't own one studio record

Live Show : 4-26-69, Duprees, Hard to Handle, St Stephen, Hurts me, What a show

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Song: Truckin'
Album: Workingman's Dead
Live Show: Quaker City Rock Festival, 12/68 - this concert featured the Dead, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Sly & the Family Stone, and Woody's Truck Stop (Todd Rundgren). All acts were great, but Sly stole the show. And it's not even close.

yeah, I was 2. saw my first show in 92 in Boston Garden. actually a great show.

for spring break my senior year in high school, I drove down to see shows in DC, Atlanta, and Chapel Hill. those shows were very good, but as periods goe, the 90's are well behind the early & late 70's. too bad.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Right I don't think this question is answerable, 2 months ago I would told you US Blues and Black Throated wind would have been my favorite and something from 71/2 woulda been my fav. To hard to answer

oh, I listened to plenty of Phish. I saw some pretty early phish shows - 91/92 and such. I remember a great woods show from 91? I think, when they opened for Santana, and they were on fire. and I remember going to a gymnasium show at UNH in 92 or 93 where I managed to stand front row (there were only about 500 people there). my ears rang for 3 days.

1st of all, Bobby does NOT have "the voice" - I hate his cowboy songs. 2nd, I saw Ratdog a few weeks ago in Worcester, and I almost fell asleep. Quite possibly the last Ratdog show I ever go too. Nowadays, I would much rather go see Moe. or O.A.R. or Gov't Mule or John Butler Trio, etc, etc, etc than a Dead-related show. Sad but true.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

I love the lyrics to Box of Rain.

I have to say, I like Attics of my Life better.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Well hes not the Voice , but alot of people consider him, and yes I will not be seeing RD again anytime soon.

Mule's playing NYE here in NYC [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I think I might go to that

I know, that's what I want to do for NYE but can't recruit anyone to go down w/ me.

yeah, that's the one! I still have a clear memory of running across the lawn during "Runaway Jim". hey, you do some weird stuff when you're 17 and high as a kite.

I remember Possum being great, as well.

Re: Any deadheads in here?
 

Hey, finally a thread where I have some expertise [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I saw about 240 shows, from '81 to '95. Too many favs to pick just one song or show, but my short list would include:

2-28-69
11-11-73
12-31-81 (my first show)
10-15-83 (probably my fav. - wasn't there but wish I was. The China>Rider>Playin'>China Doll that opens set II is transcendent.)
1984 Greek Theater run
1989 Cal Expo run

Too much fun...

I much prefer the Buffalo show over the Cornell show. The Cornell show is just more popular because it got much more circulation on tape early on.

I really don't like hearing Phil sing. The early Phil & Friends shows I went to were very harsh, because he insisted on singing almost every song. Fortunately he has relaxed a bit and let various Friends do more singing.

RatDog shows can be good, but not as dynamic. I don't usually go see those anymore.

Unfortunately I was born in the 70's and only got to see a half dozen live Dead shows - it would've been sweet to see a bunch of those shows from the 70's live.

I also saw 60-70 Phish shows, and I'd have to agree that pre-1998 were better shows. Though I enjoyed them all.

There's a lot of good music out there now.
