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?

zep and the icarus and/or the symbols

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.

Zep is global

I would guess the Dark Side prism and Stones lips are the most recognizable worldwide.

A little further down that list is...

And then, of course, there's one of my favorite bands':

The Replacements!

I can imagine that, lol. Local boys drinking cheap local beer.

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.

Young guys and cheap beer. Hell, I even like Hamms and Olympia back then.

I also literally don't know a single person who listens to them. haha

I couldn’t name a single Grateful Dead song, and I didn’t recognise their logo either! (And I worked in a music store for 5 years)

You never heard the songs:

Touch of Grey
Casey Jones
Truckin'

C'mon...that's a little silly. Are you Canadian too?

Iron City is also terrible. Where I grew up (Cleveland), our terrible beers were Genesee Cream Ale, Pabst and Stroh's. These were probably just the beers we could steal from our parents.

I grew up in Greenville, OH...Genesee and Little Kings, Black Label, Weideman, Old Milwaukee, Stroh's came later (I'm guessing I'm a few years older than you) but I remember when they came out with a 30 pack that got our attention. We drank quite a bit of it but I remember not being real fond of it. Different taste for sure.

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.

I got Animals by Pink Floyd a few months ago on vinyl...I have to admit that this album escaped me until now. Probably my favorite PF album.

Perfect transition from Wish You Were Here to The Wall

Loujoe · January 3

No shame^ Great to find new old music. If you want to hear les claypools frog brigade covers animals slightly odd and wonderful.

Loujoe · January 3

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.

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.

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.

@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.

I just picked up _____ on vinyl!
