These are two of my favorite songs that The Dead have ever written. Here’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about, if you want to take a few minutes to listen to some pure bliss. They’ll play one song, go into a 100% improvisational jam for a few minutes, and then slide seamlessly into the next song. When they play live, the concert never actually stops. And that’s the special thing about their concerts. The instrumentals are better, the vocals are better, they’re more energetic, and the music is just all around more enjoyable to listen to.Īs I said previously, The Dead are the epitome of the jam band. Any true “dead head” know that their studio albums don’t come anywhere close to their live concerts. The Dead are one of those bands that you have to listen to live. But when one looks past their questionable drug habits, and looks purely at the music, they can appreciate The Dead for who they really are and what they did for music. The Dead were known for indulging in illegal drugs from time to time, such as marijuana, LSD, magic mushrooms, and heroin. Seriously, when one pictures a hippie, odds are they’re picturing something very close to a member of The Grateful Dead.
These guys are one of the most stereotypical groups of hippies you’ll ever lay eyes on.
He is accompanied by Bob Weir on guitar and vocals, Phil Lesh on bass, and a slew of drummers and keyboardists throughout the band’s history. The Dead are lead by the world famous Jerry Garcia on lead guitar and lead vocals, one of the most well known musicians in the world. They are a mix of country, folk, bluegrass, and psychedelic rock. The Grateful Dead have been around for quite a long time, gaining popularity around the early/mid sixties. Today, we’re gonna be talking about The Grateful Dead. This is the band my dad raised me on, the band that never bores me, the band that constantly amazes me, the band that makes me feel nothing less than perfect no matter what else is going on in my life. To get underway, we’re gonna talk about probably my all time favorite band.
