    I don't really care about a festival recording that PJ wasn't in control of to be quite honest. Nor do I or PJ want hundreds of people creating thousands upon thousands of copies of their show.

    The internet is way too powerful for the band to allow this. Sorry. There really isn't a debate. If you want to record with your little zoom recorder go for it.

    I'll ask again..Since when does PJ not allow taping and free trading of their shows?

    The point being they don't allow professional recording gear inside like the dead used to with big boom mic's etc.

    that's the difference, yup

    i have some damned great Dead recordings in my archives :)

    Love Pearl Jam. Love the Dead. But there's nobody in Pearl Jam as annoying as Donna Jean.
    Well, technically she isn't in PJ, but have you heard Hunger Strike w/ Corin Tucker?

    Difference: Sheer number of shows the Dead played vs. PJ... The Dead were seemingly on the road!

    I haven't listened to much Dead for comparison, but Boom can be kinda annoying sometimes.

    dicks picks 18

    get it if u dont got it :geek:

    Just pulled it up on spotify (all the Dick's Pick's are there).

    Love the mellow intro to Bertha. I'll let you know what I think of the rest.

    OK - this is a great pick, listened to it a few times (back to Minglewood Blues now). Really good harmonies by Donna, and she doesn't go wailing in Playin'.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol::lol::lol:

    They have about as much in common as Mike Tyson and the Queen of England, I understand if you may not have listened to Grateful Dead a lot or as much as some or maybe you just don't care and that's your right, but that's one of the most off base comments I have ever heard in my life, not just on this forum.

    The only similarities to me would be they both have a very loyal fanbase and that pj was one of the first bands to make their shows available to the public like the dead. They also used the same stage in 95 at soldier field. I dont mind the audience recordings from the dead. Some sound really good others dont. The fact they are around from the 70s is cool to me. I do like how the dead just played music. Rarely did you ever hear any stage banter. I always thought it would be cool if pj transistioned into songs like the dead. Like an in my tree, off he goes, around the bend medley. Just music. Sometimes eds "uhh you know..uhh..sometimes..uhhh" between songs kills the vibe.

    This I actually agree with. PJ shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as tGD. If music was a contest The Grateful Dead would destroy PJ in every category.

    I actually think it's just the opposite since I can't stand jam bands or their sound. Throw Phish in their as well, I know they are great musicians but that doesn't mean it's good. It's all so, so boring and my goodness it just keeps going and going and going.

    i knew u never saw jerry. some bands you need to see(&know) before you can be a proper judge

    if u knew anything important about the grateful dead you would certainly know that they always offered up the element of surprise during their live shows...where anything could happen at any time, and i'm sure you would have to agree that this very same element exists at pearl jam shows

    not sure how important this element is to you but as a touring fan it is the one of the main reasons why i love pearl jam and the grateful dead

    the other obvious commonality is how both bands treat their fans. offering tickets to real fans is also one of the most important things that both bands have/did/do

    oh...and both bands rawk and have sweet ballads-extreme highs and really pretty sweet lows. they both offer up the rollercoaster

    1) I don't need to see a band live to know if I like them or not.
    2) Wow, they vary their setlists too? Oh geeze let me change my mind now
    3) You couldn't pay me to go to a dead show.
    4) So basically the bands aren't similar it's how they treat fans that are similar.
    5) Their sound is nowhere near similar I don't care what you say.

    you've never seen a band that were better live than on record? u don't see a lot of live music, do you? maybe you should stick with your records cause they always tell the whole complete story :?

    glad you found some similarities and um i was never saying how they sound the same. not many bands can release live bootlegs of whole tours and be proud of their road shows ie) how many bands do you know of that completely change their setlist nightly, throughout the tour, so that each show is unique, and never duplicated? my guess is less than 4% of bands do this. imo it's a pretty big similarity. same goes for fan club tickets, which is something pj did before almost all bands today, except the grateful dead. right?

    who said i would give you money to see the dead?? you are already too far gone to get it

    I think a band's live sound is very important to their legacy. It can also hurt a band.

    After seeing The Mars Volta open for Soundgarden last summer, I threw all their CD's away and deleted them from iTunes upon returning home.

    Their music is similar with regard to...the rhythm, the feel, the shake,

    the feeling in "Can't Keep" for instance.

    the part that makes you want to shake your bones

    the part that makes your realize the brilliance in Riot Act..

    or Julie catch a rabbit by its hair

    that. that's how they're the same.

    and it's ok. Not everybody gets it, and that's OKAY. :mrgreen:
