GREAT IDEA for a forum!!!the dead by far was the best band to see live. they were journeys into another dimension.sounds funny i am sure to the uninitiated but if you have been there ,you know! their studio cuts were good,bootlegs much better.but,the live experience was what they were all about

I think working mans dead is the only studio album worth anything.

Originally posted by FMFOutstanding! I just recently realized that all of the dead shows that I have on cassette tapes in a box in my attic and then some are now available for free download. Of course it now seems obvious but I just never thought to look until I saw mention of it on your profile.

And much to my delight I found the first dead show I ever went to at the Boston Garden, September of 1982. I'm listening to it now and am getting a chill up my spine listening to Wharf Rat as I remember being there 27 years ago (at age 16) almost like it was yesterday.

Originally posted by FMFThanks but I'm not much of an expert I'm afraid. Years ago I enjoyed some tenticles, t.dream etc but lost interest when stopped getting stoned. Gradually becoming mostly mainstream, big floyd fan always, hawkwind, marillion too in 80's but but got bored with them quickly, loved zappa's sheik yer booty. Love all zeppelin stuff, (but not genre I know). Was considering Live Dead on amazon??

I'm guessing you've never heard 'American Beauty'.
