Hey people, I just wanted to find out how many people still listen to the Grateful Dead, their music just fills me with good vibes and spirit, I also love how dedicated the deadheads were to travel and see as many shows as they could. If you have any stories share them here, Id love to hear about your expieriences.

They were a little before my time but still love their music. You can just listen, and get high, to it all day. It makes great background music. Just has a great chill like vibe to it. And yes, I've had this avatar for a while.

I love the Dead and listen to them everyday! Would be an off-day if I didn't. I wish I had been alive during their time, especially when Jerry and Pigpen were alive; but I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy their beautiful melodies all the time. Cant wait to experience my first real show in a few weeks! Anyone going to Santa Clara? :)

I hope not I feel like that would really be too much. There will already be a lot of people just because of the Dead reunion without hundreds of football fans. Two pretty different crowds in my opinion. Now I'm going to look that up :)
Thankyou for your time x)

Sup guys! I'm another young guy into the dead lol. Been listening to them since highschool but the last couple years it's almost all I listen to (because there's a lot to hear!)
Anyway I wanted to post this little story that has a place in my heart and probably my genetic make up.
Not long ago, and in my first year of tripping pretty semi frequently, I rode up north to the hunting shack with my dad. We have been downing beers and smoking chronic bowls the whole ride and mostly unknown to him I was about an hour into a beautiful, calm, visual lsd trip. I remember really feeling that we were moving, we were in a car after all, but I could almost feel the wind and space coming through the windshield and my own body as we cruised along the beautiful scenery. It was dark, foggy, and almost eerie outside when we hit one of the first swamp/gravel roads in the county and there is a college radio station with a late night program that plays a super variety of awesome music and mostly stuff I've never heard (and I AM a music head). Anyway, at this point in ecstacy is the first time I heard Ruben and Cherise by JGB. I instantly recognized who I was hearing but it was all new to me and I felt such a profound feeling. It's like I knew right then in the moment, that I would be back to revisit that spot in time again and again. Really beautiful stuff and it's one of those things you keep to smile and reflect on yourself, nobody else would get it the same way.
Thanks heads

Nice! Ruben and Cherise is one of my favorite JGB song! Such a bubbly and smooth flowing song. I'm glad you we're able to listen to it on your trip especially if that was your first time hearing it! I get so emotional when I'm tripping and certain dead songs come on. They really speak to your mind and heart and I wish more people listened to the dead and knew how great they are. There's so many versions too from different live shows... many unreleased too.. you should check out my thread on toke n talk - tokin tunes". I posted a really good version of China cat. c: @ol'StaggerLee23

Yeah their earlier songs are the best. I like the times pigpen was with them. c: those are great songs too. There are so many, and even more versions of each. :) some of my favorite albums are Mars hotel, working mans dead and Europe 72. I believe the dead And JGB has songs for everyone to love. x) I really love tripping and listening to songs like morning dew or Franklin's tower or saint Stephen. I love the sense of joy it fills you with I can't help but dance. I wish music was still the same and not just a bunch of beats and rhyming fast or just the same stuff over and over. Music seems lazy now compared to the amazing jams the dead played. Not to mention how they were to their fans.. it would be unheard of to fill the streets for a free show now for example. The dead are legends I can't wait to meet more people I can turn them on to them c:

Hell yeah! They definitely transcend a genre and blew the lid off my already very open music taste. Definitely something for everyone to be found! I think the first song that really resonated with me was a scarlet/fire. Smile so big when they transition to the opening overdrive chords to fire! Pig was the man too, alligator is my go to canoeing/lake selection haha
