I was never much of a fan of the Grateful Dead at least not since the mid seventies, but last night trolling youtube while the glue dries, I came upon a couple of examples why I loved them so, at the height of their creative powers.

I am a sucker for drums and bass...check out bill kruetzmann here just POUNDING the drums and looking really pissed off. Billy never was much of a hippie, more like a euro greaser in looks, and when mickey hart was on second drums it was a real powerhouse riddim section. video is all out of sync for awhile but comes back. still can't carry a note to save their lives but the instrumentation makes up for it in my mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq8sp6WF3bQ

and pigpens masterpiece hard to handle, again some great drum and bass interplay and some nice camerawork featuring the riddim section...let it run for a while, it gets gooder the rounder they get. Bill looks to be trippin' balls!

good job Ed, not too hard though for those who followed soul music in the sixties

Bob was the Right guy for the job with the Dead. Not one to take the fore like Baker or Shrieve. But also not one to get frazzled when the tune took a 90 degree turn

Pigpen wasn't much of a Hippy either. I think given a choice he woulda rather been playing his Organ and blowin' his Blues Harp with a blues group. The only drugs he really had much use for were Distilled from Grains not Chemicals.

good job Ed, not too hard though for those who followed soul music in the sixties

Thanks. I listened to pretty much anything, Rock, My parents Sinatra, Old Blues to the Grand 'Ol Opre'.

>Pigpen wasn't much of a Hippy either

ya know that just goes to show: there really wasn't any "hippie" in those days, those guys had their own styles for the most part and it was all influenced by the cool jazz scene around SF and specifically north beach, the beatnik area. I kind of trace it all back to songs like vince guaraldi "cast your fate to the wind" which what a lot of those people were in fact doing in those days. I think that specific tune had a huge influence on the scene and on the early Grateful Dead.

I was definitely not a deadhead, but liked some of their music. The only GFD music I own is a greatest hits. My nephew is a big deadhead (VW buss, weekend events, yada yada) he turned me some more obscure tunes and I liked some of if but even the Music chart stuff they had I never really shined up to. IMO not any great technical musicians however lyricly they told great stories.

It's kind of like me. I'm a huge Zappa fan ( must be the perv in me) but most people don't get it. Frank himself was very technical and gifted, he always had a who's who of gifted musicians (many cameos by greats) that wanted to be around him as well.

Dead Head no! Like some of their music yes.

About double posts!!! Does anyone really care!!!! I posted some a couple of weeks ago that have been reposted, don't care! I'm sure I have posted the same lyrics in a different format or maybe in the same format to a song! don't care.

In my life I have bigger fish to fry than to go through 302 pages to see if someone has posted it already, REALLY. Maybe it's a new player or someone like me who has a difficult time remembering what I did five minuets ago ( ever go to the basement or garage to get something and ask yourself why am I here, It's kund'a like that)

Geez give it a break!!! We all know how smart everyone is!!!

All I am saying is give peace a chance :D Jimmy "RASS"

Capt Reverb,

I'd answer that but someone (#6033) may have posted a version of that and didn't get it verbatim. That person may have to go to the woodshed :D :D :D :D "RASS"

Give Peace A Chance was not a beatles song...it was a lennon/ono song.

Everybodys talking about bagism...

you don't think the Beatles would put out something like that do you?

I realized my mistake when I was in the shower. It's not from a Lennon/Ono song either.

Listen carefully beginning at about the 3:00 mark

Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss.
The cars keep a going faster all the time...
Bums still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"

"Once there was this girl

who wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room.
But when they finally made her, they saw birthmarks all over her body.

She couldn't quite explain it...
They'd always just been there"..
