really liking the 77 show....great quality too ....


5/8/77 is usually up at the top when fans compile lists of the best GD shows ever. Usually its either that show or 2/13-14/70 (most of which is available on "Dick's Pick's Volume 4", one of the greatest live albums ever released) that I see atop those kinds of lists.

As for actual cheese, that's a life long obsession that I hope never goes away...

The "Scarlet>Fire" of 5/8/77 was the only GD I ever TRULY delved into (junior year of high school) and it's really great to revisit it now in light of the finale of Freaks & Geeks.

I used to post music videos on Facebook, everything from Yes to Flaming Lips to Radiohead to Parliament. No comments. I post a Lady Gaga video as an experiment, 11 comments. :banghead:

Why people get mad when an artist who specifically tries to appeal to the biggest fanbase they can is more popular than their favourite? Lady Gaga wants to be ubiquitous, the Grateful Dead just want to chill out and smoke weed or whatever it is that they do.

It's not just about favorites. I like and admire The Grateful Dead, I'm not crazy about them.

But they are one of the most important bands in the development of rock music in the late 60s, who continue to influence music today, they have a massive discography of impressive music extended through 30 years.

Lady Gaga has ONE record of mediocre pop music, one on the way that everyone already thinks is gonna suck, even her fans. 30 years from now Lady Gaga's greatest contribution will be being remembered as "that chick who used to wear dresses made out of Kermit the Frog puppets".

I saw this article in The Atlantic awhile ago about how business theorists study The Grateful Dead as a model that can generate hundreds of millions of dollars and whose influence can be seen in the way various corporations like Apple create consumer value. The devil turns everything around for his ends. Though it could be the other way around, depending on how you look at it I suppose.

Well the gulf between what is and what you think should be is something you ought to pay less attention to (when they are completely out of control, that is). If you don't you could turn into a cynical, misanthropic poster on an online music forum.
