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.brianlux said: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!
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?0 -

I think you see the GD skull on so many more things in every day life. Shirts, stickers, hats, much more Dead than Zep.mickeyrat said:mrussel1 said:

I was never a Dead Head, but I have seen them 3 times (80's, 2000's and this year at The Sphere)0 -
Stones definitely. Around the world, definitely higher recognition than the Dead. The tongue is genius.cutz said:

I was never a Dead Head, but I have seen them 3 times (80's, 2000's and this year at The Sphere)I did the Sphere as well and have tickets to three more shows in May. Bobby said they better understand how to use the technology now and the want to really take it to the next level.Post edited by mrussel1 on0 -
Read a thing about steal your face skull folklore. Was it Stanley Mouse who came up with it? representing a gd drummer who would steal all sorts of stuff from the band.mrussel1 said:

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!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
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.Loujoe said:Maybe you smoked a cigarette on a street corner under a streetlight with Jerry and didn't know it

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.brianlux said:mrussel1 said:

But did I ever see the Dead... even just once... or even see any of them around town? Amazingly, no, no. Craziness!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!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

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.HughFreakingDillon said:

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.HughFreakingDillon said:
