Any deadheads in here?

[MonkeeMan]

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.

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.

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 love the lyrics to Box of Rain.

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

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.

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 the second set is transcendent.)
1984 Greek Theater run
1989 Cal Expo run

Too much fun...
