We did play Memphis about four times.

I am so glad someone else did this, since I don't want Vockins beating me senseless (in bocce.)

I've always been enamored with the ideas behind the Grateful Dead, even though I have not heard much of their music or listened to what I have heard all that closely. I've been meaning to for a while.

I think it's bullshit that they were lumped in with so much other hippie detritus by the punk rockers. The Dead were at least sincere about their lifestyle and kept it going (and going) in order to prove that.

Long guitar solos played while flying on acid kicks ass, I don't care what anyone says.

Maybe. Listening not so much.

Check out Live/Dead. Everybody (not counting obsessive tape-collecting douches) seems to pretty much agree that it's about as good as the Grateful Dead got. You get the panorama of noodly psych, traditional folk songs, "noise," etc.

I think it's good enough that you might even still feel that way about guitar solos and acid after you get done listening to it.

There's a track on there called "Feedback" that wouldn't sound out of place on a Dead C record.

If you get into it and decide you want to go from there to "Dick's Picks" or whatever the fuck, I can't help you.

The only Dead I've heard is on a "Dick's Picks" CD I bought when I was fifteen.

It was pretty fantastic. "Playing in the Band" is gorgeous. Just never listened to it very much at all.

Thanks for the advice, I'll see if I can't check out "Live/Dead" from the library or something one of these days.

Nice!
