Anybody on here into the dead, I got into them being introduced through freaks and geeks.
-
i'm kinda new to the scene, but hell yeah, the dead rule! everything clicked with them on a walk this summer and it felt like being welcomed into a cool club. love em jamming, love the americana stuff, love the funk stuff. great band. also, maybe the most punk band of all time.
-
Big fan of the Dead, could listen to 70s Dead all the time ('77 shows in particular).
I was big into the jam band scene for a bit, still follow the Disco Biscuits when it's not all pandemic like.
I think it works well in videos, but seems like Matt Field is the only one who wants to use em.

Ha ha ha when I worked as a teacher for a few years I pulled that freaks and geeks trip and gave a one of my students American Beauty the year she graduated and said "you get into this, you'll make friends everywhere you go." Not sure what they're up to these days
But ya, Dead to the core. Never got to see Garcia but I've seen all the family related bands since I started seeing the Other Ones on 11/19/02. After that first show I thought "this is what I want my life to be" and hopped on. It's music of my soul. Sometimes it's just fun, sometimes it's a spiritual thing, sometimes it's everything.
Was really fortunate to catch Phil and the TFB sets at Oregon County Fair in 2019. Definitely didn't think it'd be the last show I'd catch for so long. I think what was coolest about that show, and just working fair in general, is that it's such sacred ground in Dead lore. Kesey family land. Veneta 08/27/72. Seriously, the place is dripping in lysergic energy. mmm mmm mmm
I don't really dig Mayer playing in Dead & Co these days, but it's fun to dance and see family/friends. I like what Mickey and Billy are doing, drumz being the most consistent part of any show over the past 30 years! Chimenti and Oteil crush it too. There's a ton of good family stuff out there too. Caught the the Golden Gate Wingmen a few years back, Melvin and JGB. Any of y'all on the Billy Strings tip yet? Homie is good. Google Billy Strings Wharf Rat. shit is straight fire.
The Bobby & Phil duo shows were good too. Caught both nights RCMH and night 2 in Boston. It was weird at first, the whole old man, bougie vibe inside, but man was it fun. I used to go on Phish tour and have had a lot of fun with them, but Trey at RCMH on Eyes made me think "aaah, this is the roots of Phish!"
stay dead, homies!

lots of great band references, book references, and all around fried shit I'd expect from dead head skaters, This is kind of off topic but do any of you jam/play yourselves?
@Iusedtoskatemore I'm very jealous, I've caught phil and bobby in their own projects a bunch but never together. Also props to fulfilling chill teacher prophecy.
I met Kesey's fam in Oregon, then again in SF, it was magic.
This is my all time show, its hot as hell out, they do great transitions into my all time songs, they filmed the whole damn thing, and theirs some great animations with it, you really get a good feeling of just how big the beast was getting at that point.

yeeeeeah kid. That Veneta Show is incredible. Over at the Fair grounds is where I last saw Phil! Look up the book "Heads" https://b-ok.cc/book/3315139/263f80 (https://b-ok.cc/book/3315139/263f80) A Biography of Psychedelic America." Real cool read for the most part and tells the history of Owsley and the Boys.
The bobby and Phil shows were very special. Listen to the birdsong with Trey and Girl from the North Country. Oh boy, did I get emotional with the GFTNC. Apparently Phil played a surprise set at Terrapin Crossroads recently!!!
Got me some Working Man's Dead on the turntable right now mmm mmm mmm
Cool story, hey, so this winter I wrote a letter to an old skate/tour buddy whose phone number I lost but somehow still remembered his address. Dude's probably 10-12 years older than me and was a big influence when I was a teenager starting to get more serious about skating, and when I started smoking bud he had the kind and this was the east coast 2001, so a regular source of sinsemilla was pretty fuckin rare. He was also the dude that gave me my first Dead tapes. Ended up going to a lot of shows together over the years but you know, head life can get kinda weird and druggy so we lost touch for a minute. Anyways, I'd sent the letter out and didn't hear back for a few months and figured it was how it went. Well, I came home from skating last week and there was a package waiting for me and low and behold, homie got my letter! Dude wrote me a letter and his life seems to be good and he also sent me an actual photo from the Cape Cod Coliseum run in Fall 79 that he said "some old hippy later here in town gave this to me years ago and I want you to have it now because I think it will look cool in your pad." Kinda weirder but doubly special is that it used to hang in the office of his restaurant that I used to get stoked to be invited into and well, it still smells faintly like pizza.
oh yeah, now that I skate with a single ear bud in and can listen to music, I've been skating to some early dead shows and it's kinda cool for the focus. I'm a dance and spin and flow at shows, in my car, wherever, so the GD skate has been flowy as fuck for the parking lot sesh!
love to you all

love to you all
an awesome story, whenever I listen to the dead when I skate, its like my body gets more comfortable, like "oh yea, its time to move".
The GD and the idea of lifelong friendship and that youthful influence from an older fan and friend just inspired me super greatly, I think after the pandemic I'm going to make a film about the makeshift families and the families within the greater jam scene, and how they might reflect and also refuse a lot of western ideas of family.
This is getting way off topic, but its why I'm so grateful(!) to be introduced to the scene at a young age, the lessons to be learned from the band and the people following it are that you can do whatever the hell you want if you've got some fire in you, some friends, and some weed/psychs to coax the wheels along! lmfao

love to you all
Thank you. It was my homie Mike Kobialka's (rip)
I'm saving it for my next vest project.
I like to put one or two "non punk" bands or whatever on my stuff. Especially when there's a high stud count. I always go around 600-1200 studs with 6 or 6 patches.
having a "non punk" band on your stuff helps
you meet more open-minded musicians or artist to work with.

Any you fools catch some billy & the kids w Billy strings? Wiiiiiiicked good. So fucking good. Even if strings playing and singing sucked, which it doesn't, I'd like this better than the other family bands playing right now because strings used to shred (skate). Fuckin Bob and Mayer making lounge covers while these guys are evangelizing the grateful goddamn dead!!! Sooooo good. Yes yes yes

they've grown on me, but I'd say I'm more of a freaks and geeks fan.

I'll give some of it a listen and see how I feel on it. Tbh, most of the time I really don't dig covers of Dead songs- I dig good bands who play Dead and play Dead well - but like anything, with this newer boom of popularity of GD music, there's a lot of non-heads out there trying to play Dead and leaving out the lysergic bits and pieces. Grateful Dead ain't Grateful Dead without that component, hence Mayer trying to play Dead and being incredibly limited. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm sour and in love with it all I don't know, but I'll give that record a listen and see if it takes me anywhere. Heart of gold band

Thought I told this story before but Matt Field was sorta legendary on Dead lot when Jerry was still around. Lots of kids caring their boards through grass lots even. Books ups and Alien Workshop gear was highly coveted. Lots of ramps in the back of Penskes got broke out on eat coast lot.
If anyone has tickets to Slow & Co your that starts this week, you better be fully vaxd, out have a confirmed neg test.
I saw phish x2 in Hershey and the first night in AC. Hard to give my extra tix away. Not going to shows for awhile. Thousands of people packed together. At least in Hershey it was easy to go high up on rage side and keep distance from others. Not once did I stand in line for a beer, even though dieing for one.

no doubt. I got a Matt field the Killing floor deck with a stealie on my wall.
For the shows I don't know, but especially with the virus, I might be all set with dead & slo anyways. Last time I saw em was at the Gorge 2019 and it was too much of a clusterfuck to do again. Night one was dosed to high heavens, feel me, then night 2 was sober and the vibration/inspiration was just too flat. And night 2 was my birthday to boot. Least memorable birthday show I've had (June 8 birthday has gotten me many, many shows). I work Oregon Country Fair and caught the Phil & TFB sets a month later and it was just better music. Of course Veneta is going to bring a different vibration but I just dug the music better. You know what it is with Dead & slo for me? There's no surprises to the music. The first few times I caught them in 2016-17, those shows at the Boston Garden, man they were good.. that Brokedown encore> PITB reprise was a smoke show, but that was probably the last killer show I saw from those guys. JRAD, Phil, Bobby & Phil duo, wicked good shit. I really wanna catch billy & the kids. Of course I'll take what I can get...
But ya, I had a ticket to a day at the days between festival in laytonville with DSO, David Nelson, Stu Allen, Jerrys middle finger... but I figured it wasn't going to be comfortable for me down in Mendo right now. we will get by my brother.

I was just streaming the Dinner and a Movie, and wondered if there was any slap action. Clifford Ball was a life changing experience, meeting so many other skaters, writers, and.kids in general from sh over.
TxR finally getting closed sucks, I know Phil says he plans to open another, but I'll buy them a venue if I can have dinner with Elliot Peck forever.
Its incredibly hard going from hearing Red Rocks from the back porch to some Mason Dixon music wasteland.

I had a lot of fun doing phish runs. Always high and always skating hahaha. We were in grid lock traffic in NYC, on the freeway, maybe 90??? and we're big as hell. My homie Jake opens the door and starts skating between cars and shit. I'm bugging because, you know how it was on the road... draw no attention. Homie refuses to get in the car and starts trying to Skitch a little while we're starting to creep along. ha ha ha
At SPAC there was a pavilion on the grounds that had granite benches we used to skate too...

Wife got me into the Dead a few years ago. She's been into them forever. I never really "got it," although I've always been super into Floyd, Zeppelin, classic psych stuff. Never really had the right intro, I guess.
It really clicked for me after watching the Amazon series on them when that came out, then it was game over. Just picked up the Europe '72 vinyl the other day.
Hope to see Dead & Company one of these days. We used to go watch Uncle John's Band at Skipper's in Tampa fairly often. Since moving to Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Bowl has had a some solid cover bands through. Grateful Shred was super good.

Grateful Dead really ain't anything like the other classic bands ;)
if you're gonna see Dead & Co, make sure you get reeeeeeal high/tripped out and it will be better. If you're gonna do it, head upstate to Watkins Glen or Spac or Darien for the dopest experience. City shows are sick too though, but I think having a place to dance for the first show can be real nice. I won't paint your masterpiece though. Just get as high as possible, like so it looks mystical and shit. You want those dready wooks looking like cavemen and shit.
JRAD and DSO, although not home to the OG players, might be more in line with the Europe 72 vibe you're into. Catch Phil and the Terrapin Family Band if you can too. Wolf Bro's is kinda meh.

Saw a Grateful Dead cover band on Saturday night. Life changing lol. Pretty much only song I know is Truckin. The musical experience wants me to dive into their whole catalog & start playing music again. The atmosphere & energy amazing. I’m not a big dancer however dancing with old timers so fun

I like some Dead songs.
Is there some kind of beef going on between former members?

why do you ask about a beef? Phil Lesh was playing separate from, Bobby, Mickey, and Billy, but the only beef I've seen is between newbs you think John Mayer is better than Jerry and those who know what's up :o

Not sure, thought I heard from my deadhead friends who used to go to shows at the Meadowlands that there was some kind of something going on with how they felt about Phil (not talking about "let Phil sing"). Anyway, glad there's no beef.
And that is just nuts that anyone would say John Mayer is better than Jerry. Are you serious?

there's always stories about why Phil isn't playing with Dead and Company. Some people argue that it's about personalities. Others, probably more correctly, attribute it to Phil's age, health, and desire to do whatever he wants rather than tour with D&C. Up til recently, he owned a restaurant/venue called Terrapin Crossroads and was able to play there pretty often with friends and the band with his kid. Really though, who knows man.
I saw Phil's terrapin family band at Oregon Country Fair (site of Veneta 8/27/72/sunshine daydream show) back in 2019 and it was dope. Didn't expect it to be the last show I saw since Covid, but anyways, go see Phil's band.
Billy & the Kids is a sick band, Billy Strings and Billy Kreutzman.... wheweee, absolute heater shows.
JRAD is pretty good, DSO is good.
Dead & Co, is eh, I don't know man. I'm a head. Grateful Dead music is my hymnal music. So, I'm gonna get what I can get, but D&C, after the first 5 shows, I'm just not feeling as much magic with them. The crowd is different. Marketing is more prevalent and corporate, etc. If you can get in, go see em, but it's not as good as the other post Jerry incarnations.

I thought about seeing them when they were at the Capitol. Might check them out when they come around. How many shows have you been too roughly?
I always smile when this comes up on my playlist:

I had halloween tix at the Cap in 2019, maybe 2018... But I had to get back to CA for an emergency =(
I'm only 36, so I never got to see Garcia, but I've been going to shows since '02. Couldn't really tell you how many, but with The Other Ones (which imo was the best post Jerry incarnation), the Dead, and Further, excluding the first 2 years of Dead and Company, I've generally gotten at least a few each year. No D&C last year, but the years prior we did the Gorge and Eugene. West Coast venues are really spread far apart and with ticket prices being what they are, a run of 5 shows is gonna cost well over a grand. I'm too old to be hustling on the lot anymore, so it's what it is. But it used to be really easy to flip a zip in slices in under an hour and pay for tickets, gas, food, balloons, etc. Also, from my home to the Bay Area is at least 6 hours in the car. To Eugene it's 6 hrs. To the Gorge it's at least 13 hours. Thankfully, there's some legit bands that stop in and play pretty often! Still haven't been to a show in 2 years though!!!!
There have been years when we might do a run for a week or 10 days. Then all the GD family bands- Ratdog, Phil and Friends, JGB, DSO, cover bands etc. When I was living in New England, it was pretty easy to hit a bunch of shows in a row.
Phish is worth seeing if you have any inkling of interest. I haven't seen them in a long time but what I hear is some of the best Phish I've heard since I started seeing them in 03. Dose up and get down =)
If the Bobby & Phil duo plays again, try to get a night because they were good. I got 2 nights at Radio City and one at the Wang in Boston. Pretty special shows, for sure. I love the old theaters.
Anything with John Kadlecik is going to be sick. A lot of people seem to dig Grateful Shred.

considering goin' down the live show rabbithole haha. I have only listened to live/dead a handful of times and dead's hits. im uniniatited
@IusedToSkateMore can you recommend some live shows to a noobie like myself? :-*
-
I like all of their music, but my favorite era and most listened to is 69-72 live shows. Dick's picks 26, 16, 11, 8, 4, and 2 all come to mind as an introduction for that era.

08/27/72 is my favorite
Many call 5/7, 5/8, 5/9 1977 the best shows, and they're good, for sure.
But 8/27/72 at veneta is exceptional. Its it's got components of jazzier dead, rock n roll dead, and some of the 60s bluesy dead on there, andddd, its psychedelic as fuck without being unbearable at all. The show is played as a fundraiser on Kesey family farm (merry pranksters).

@tonitonne @IusedToSkateMore much appreciated, gonna dive in

look up without a net also, it's a compilation of recordings from 89-90 and it's some of the finest later era GD.

what show did you catch? I think I'm all set with dead and company as long as Mayer's still playing. musics slow and the scene is not quite my thing.
Phil's band/bands are really hot right now. I'm bummed to have missed him so far this summer. Pretty crazy he opted to play a shitty festival in marshfield mass rather than Oregon country fair again, but so it goes.
thinking about trying to get down to Days Between on the Eel next month, get some DSO, Melvin & JGB, stu Allen etc
Phish is hot right now too, man. fuckin a. what shows are you gonna hit?

Heyyy my first post on here, just saying whattup to the deadhead skaters, and thanks to my lady for getting me into them after years and years of me writing them off. All it took was a beautiful road trip through Vermont and Blues for Allah. It was just exactly perfect.

Alpine ripping so far. Last time I was at that she'd was for the Grateful Dead "reunion" in 02. Real good from my couch this weekend though.
Only caught Mann and MPP so far this year.
0 desire to sea Dead & Co at this time. Not taking trash, just not for me. It's rather go see Phil. Bummed TxR closed. Traveled to see him there a few times.
I did luck in the first Terrapin Family Band show in the middle of the woods at the first Lockin at 2am. No one knew it was happening.
I've seen Phil in one form or another almost 200 times. Got lucky to catch the first Unbroken Chain in Philly at one if my first shows.
Missed only one show of So Many Roads tour.
Saw 2 entire Quintet tours, not missing a single show.
The irony is I'm getting a divorce/mediation this Friday because my Wife, who never did tour, can't stop disappearing for days to go to shows. We have a 5yr old blessing of a son, and it's just sad. She never did tour in her youth, but to be 43, go to Fri AC show, and just text "Someone else can watch (our son). I'm busy right now. Your Mom can figure it out" I was working 12 hr shifts and AC weekend was her custody time. Cocaine really is a helluva drug.
Sorry to rant. Really going through it the past 2 months.

yo brotha, that 02 run was my first. The Other Ones... maybe I'm biased cuz it was my first, but they were the best post Garcia incarnation by a long shot.
My heart hurts to hear about your wife and son. I've seen similar things go down with families too many times. It's shitty how tour can really beautiful but also really enable BS. I never understood the cocaine addiction thing but one of my homies lost his whole everything, farm, homes, wife/kid, fucking deadhead/tour empire if you will with an intravenous cocaine addiction a few years back.
It's weird man, real weird, after counseling numerous kids whose parents were/are tour rats and don't make the right choices for the kids, I've been having a real hard time with aspects of the scene. Anyways, not tryna drop my shit on you, it's just been a weird juxtaposition.
Hit me up in the DM if you wanna chat. love n respect

on my way back from a rainbow, 6 hours each way, listening to the dead there and back. Never been a huge fan but it is indeed great music for to have drive, hang out, and play.

Hey longtime Deadhead here. Just wanted to share that there's an app on Android called 'Deadhead archives' that has all their shows cataloged by year with multiple recordings of most of the shows. Hopefully it helps newer listeners hear more of their stuff.
An old Deadhead buddy of mine got me into the habit of not looking at setlists, and playing shows from start to finish. I highly recommend doing this. You get the same feeling of being at the show and wondering what they'll play next. Also by skipping around the show to songs you like, you might miss some incredible versions of songs that may not be your favorites.

PhilCo was pretty good, but I may be biased. Saw the quintet over a hundred times. Study spot for Uncle Phil what's.
Phish Dick's is good so far tonight. Phellowshipping from my couch all weekend. Page and Jon both real nice and heavy in the mix. Saw every show of the first 8 years at Dicks, but it looks so crowded now.

Tickets are actually a LOT easier to get this year, so I’m guessing it’s a bit less crowded with the extra day.
Im supposed to go Sunday, but jacked up my knee real bad last week and have been on crutches. Hoping I can still make it but we’ll see.

Hell ya. We have KMUD here in Humboldt. I hear GD at least 2x a day, usually more. Gotta love the weed growers community radio station. There's a phish show. Backwards down the number line with frying pan Dan down in salmon creeeeek, Tuesdays 8-10pm. Also streams at kmud.org

Growing up with parents into the Dead and other influences around who were into the "jam band" scene, it was probably inevitable that I got into it too. The Dead are always a band that I can come back to at any point in life and enjoy, the epitome of American music for me.
Rusty was really into the Dead too, his relatives even performed Ripple at his memorial service, definitely shed a tear on that one!

Gave me chills to read that about Rusty's memorial.
I'm very conflicted. I've seen Phil almost 200 times. Spent many years doing nothing but that, but now at 46, with a sweet 5 year old son, I'm divorcing my wife solely because she continues to go to shows over being with our family and son. She continues to take him to festivals when in her custody, and now I'm fighting for full custody for that reason. Makes me feel like a traitor to the scene, but his mother has definitely chosen to go down the wook path or whatever you want to call it. Id feel different if she was coherent with him at the shows, but those powders sure get ahold of people. Today I picked up my take-homes and I'm finally single digit dose. From 180 down to 9. 6 years since I used a thing. Hasn't been easy recently though.

yo if any vinyl cats are interested in preordering the new billy strings album he cut with his old man, there are some nice color variants..

Love 'em, saw them 12 times mostly between '87-'89. In terms of listening I can hang with any shows between '69-'81 with my favorite era being between '71-74 when it was just Bill on drums (not a fan of Mickey's goofy marching band style, he just got in the way. Bill on the other hand is a fantastic drummer with solid jazz/r&b chops and swings/grooves like a motherfucker). In addition to shows also still love listening to the lps Live Dead, Skull And Roses, Europe '72, Workingman's Dead, Mars Hotel, Dead Set and Reckoning. Top five tunes-Unbroken Chain, Dark Star, Morning Dew, Dire Wolf and Deal(which I know is technically a Jerry tune).
-
I'm a huge fan myself. I saw the Dead & Co. live at dodger stadium with John Mayer last summer. Also, I saw Bob Weir recently play in my college town.

This is a cool interview with Jerry I came across from 1985. I definitely recommend giving it a listen. Pretty wild hearing him ripping lines throughout the interview. This was 6 days before he was busted in Golden Gate Park for smoking base in his bmw.

Interesting that you saw Brent live but still can’t listen to that stuff! There’s so much good stuff from the time period you cited that you really don’t have to bother too much with the 80s. I got a DVD box set for Xmas that includes the Dead Ahead show from 1980 that was quite good. Just so hard to watch unhealthy Jerry in the later years.

i’m a big 83 fan. brent is my favorite of all the keyboard players. crazy you saw it and can’t rock with it in retrospect
