    Maybe you smoked a cigarette on a street corner under a streetlight with Jerry and didn't know it ;)

    Lot's of deadhead friends here. As an East coast far from haight street kid, and I never went to a show. I was not really into them back then. More of a metal punk hardcore industrial experimentalhwad.  You could find me avoiding a dangerous pit in CBGBs though.

    I think you'd really like 'Dead Set' Brian. Very enjoyable not super far out live dead. My go to cd. 
    Dead Set is very good.  I do prefer its accompaniment, Reckoning.  That's all acoustic and was released at the same time as Dead Set.  Both were also re-released on vinyl in the last year or two and they both sound phenomenal, particularly Reckoning.  The instruments are so lush, separate, clear, etc.  Really well engineered.  


    Thx will get a hold of that sucker

    Haha!  I see what you did there.  :smiley:      
    I do know this, I never ran into Jerry down by the river.  :wink:

    I'll check out Dead Set, thanks!

    I'm not the biggest Dead fan around (although I do have and love American Beauty and Working Man's Dead), but I sure do like the artwork on the Dead's album covers.  These ^^^ are very cool!
    It's the art and it's the brand.  I mean, is there anything in music more recognizable than the Dead's skull (SYF)?  Or the dancing bears?  They were really great about that.  

    I know you were in the Bay area in this time.  Did you ever get a chance to see them in the early days, like in the streets or at Winterland, etc?

    I'm always astounded by my answer to this question:  No. 
    I know, unreal!  I was born in Berkeley in '51 and from age 11 months old, grew up 25 minutes south of San Francisco.  I had an aunt and uncle and two cousins in the Upper Haight through the 50s, 60s and 70's and we went up to the city and saw them often.  I lived in the upper Haight myself from 1969 to 1973 for cryin' out loud.  I saw any number of Bay Area bands, lots of shows at Fillmore West, Winterland, Keystone, and other clubs.  But did I ever see the Dead... even just once... or even see any of them around town?  Amazingly, no, no.  Craziness!  
     
    You're my hero... I would have loved to have been in the Bay area in this era.  I'm sure there was an undercurrent of menace like there is in every movement and moment in time, but the music and culture of the late 60's in Haight would have been awesome.  

    Yeah, to tell you the truth, being there on a day to day living basis, it really got to be a mixed bag.  The upsides were great- the music, the literature coming out of that time, the explosion of all kinds of new approaches to life and thinking.  The downsides were also rather potent as well, especially as the 60s morphed into the 70s. The mid to late 60s truly were like a renaissance.  By the early 70's, the whole scene itself had kind of overloaded and imploded.  
    Thankfully, even though I moved out of the city in mid 1973, I lived close enough and spent lot of time there to witness a whole new era that, though less remembered in cultural history, to me was just as exciting.  That cultural resurgence took place during much of the early to mid 80s was when post punk, new wave, paisley underground, and art rock took off, as well as a surge in gay and lesbian acceptance which created an interesting intermixing of straight and gay culture.  As "mellow" and "groovy" as the San Francisco 60s were, the S.F. 80s were high energy and fast paced.  
    And both were often quite fun!  I was lucky to experience both.  And I can only imagine how cool the late 70's and 80s NYC scene which gave birth to all of that new counter-culture must have been.  Of course, that too was a mixed bag, and there are some great books that cover that era including tow favorites- Kris Need Dream Baby Dream: Suicide, A New York Story, and Thurston Moore's Sonic Life.
    Oh to have been in two places at once, lol!

    I think you see the GD skull on so many more things in every day life. Shirts, stickers, hats, much more Dead than Zep. 
    I had to google their logo. Couldn't have told you. I recognize it, for sure, but I see way more band logos than that around.

    That’s crazy talk. But in looking at Setlist, there are only 3 pages of tours in Canada, maybe 20 shows. Maybe it’s an American thing.

    In the States, Dead people are everywhere still. There’s a reason they are doing another long run at the Sphere, 60 years after forming.

    I lived back east for two years in the 70s ('75 and '77, long story), and although I never had a Grain Belt, one of the fun things I remember back then was trying local inexpensive beer (talk about cheap thrills, haha).  The one I remember actually liking and everyone telling me I was nuts because of that was Iron City Beer.

    Do you mean the Little Kings "King Case"?  That was great, little 8 ozers.  But cream ale sucked.  I don't know why we drank it.

    52 cent score. I really like him. Pleasent, easy, poetic feel good tunes.  Grabbed it then put it back grabbed it again. This stuff seems real early. Cool man. Dig it.

    Love to still be able to buy something groovy with pocket change.

    I'm not the biggest Dead fan around (although I do have and love American Beauty and Working Man's Dead), but I sure do like the artwork on the Dead's album covers.  These ^^^ are very cool!
    It's the art and it's the brand.  I mean, is there anything in music more recognizable than the Dead's skull (SYF)?  Or the dancing bears?  They were really great about that.  

    I know you were in the Bay area in this time.  Did you ever get a chance to see them in the early days, like in the streets or at Winterland, etc?

    I think you see the GD skull on so many more things in every day life. Shirts, stickers, hats, much more Dead than Zep. 
    I had to google their logo. Couldn't have told you. I recognize it, for sure, but I see way more band logos than that around. 
    That’s crazy talk. But in looking at Setlist, there are only 3 pages of tours in Canada, maybe 20 shows. Maybe it’s an American thing. 
    I also literally don't know a single person who listens to them. haha
    In the States, Dead people are everywhere still. There’s a reason they are doing another long run at the Sphere, 60 years after forming. 
    oh absolutely, I'm not at all claiming they aren't still a force. I just think outside of the US they are kinda like the Tragically Hip outside of Canada.

    The Replacements!
    That’s a terrible, terrible beer. 
    No, it’s a fantastic beer. As a born, raised and lifetime resident of the state of Minnesota, Grain Belt is by far the best “cheap” beer ever brewed. We will fight for this! It’s iconic here and to believe otherwise is sacrilegious.

    I got off the sauce nearly six years ago. I don’t miss it at all,  but occasionally I’ll get the craving for two things: a glass of red wine and an ice cold Grain Belt, especially on hot summer days.

    Probably a good analogy.

    @mrussel1 Have you checked out any of the Rhino High Fidelity pressings. I am seeing great reviews.

    Yes I updated several records with the new Rhino. Dead Set, Terrapin Station, Reckoning, Blues for Allah. They are great!  Really sound good and the prices are on point.

    That’s surprising to read. The Hip are basically unknown in the states and the dead are well known worldwide. Maybe not sold  out thirty residency shows popular but still well known.

    and too bad about that money losing planetarium toy in Vegas that Dolans silver spoon kid built in Vegas. Even with a variation of the dead filling it a bunch last year, it still loses hundreds of millions of dollars and Dolan expects it to be subsidized by non sports fans paying for knicks games on cable . Strip it down and ship it to Abu Dhabi.

    Is it losing money? Tell me more please. 

    I have seen the Dead and U2. And I have tickets to the Eagles next month ABs 3 more Dead shows in May. I’m in Vegas a fair amount for work so it’s easy for me to go and I have clients that love music like me. So I love it there, it’s next level. It could be the future of concerts but not if it loses money.
