Grateful Dead is still alive, literally!

have you guys ever heard of Rat Dog with Bob. I'm listening to them now. They go around with Bob Weir and they play lots of grateful dead songs. They sound exactly like the grateful dead, only... with a saxaphone, and i think it is great. go check them out.

-peace

 

the grateful dead died 10 years ago.

 

It can never be the same without Jerry and Donna Jean

 

i love your sig jezmund, cant wait for widespread spring tour... hopefully!

 

yeah. havent seen anything else (tour dates) from spread or cheese. I'm starting to get a little worried.

 

LOL, yeah, I think I've heard of them.

 

If you haven't heard of them, you have been living under a rock

 

lmao

 

Ratdog kicks alot of ass....i have a great show of theres from NUGS.net......it is a radio gig and the do the best "cassidy>bird song>cassidy>bird song"....it kicks ass. and as drummin mamma said...its not the dead.....but its great to see Bobby on stage....he being one of the greatest song writers of our time. many people don't know but he did write some of the more popular Dead tunes....

 

he participated in writing some of the songs with hunter, barlow and the others but there are only few songs that bobby wrote by himself. if im correct i think he wrote one more saturday night and WRS but those are the only ones i can remember off the top of my head.

 

I saw Ratdog in early 2004. It was a great show, and I called the opener. (Shakedown street at the electric factory...it makes sense)

 

very true. but 99% of all Jerry tunes were collaborations with Hunter, Kahn or Grisman....etc....but seeing Weir/Barlow is just like seeing Garcia/Hunter....two very good song writing teams.....but every song off of Weir's ACE is a Grateful Dead classic....

1. Greatest Story Ever Told (Weir/Hunter)
2. Black Throated Wind (Weir/Barlow)
3. Walk In The Sunshine (Weir/Barlow)
4. Playing In The Band (Weir/Hunter)
5. Looks Like Rain (Weir/Barlow)
6. Mexicali Blues (Weir/Barlow)
7. One More Saturday Night (Weir)
8. Cassidy (Weir/Barlow)

 

right on.

 

Rat Dogs good as well as Phil....but its interpretations of G/D songs. The reasons why I say that is because of the drums. Now im not bad mouthin anyone at all, I Love Phil, and Bob, and I Love Live Grateful Dead music but neither of them are backed by the feel that mickey and Bill had. Its great and its diferent...and I like it, and im grateful I get to see bobby and phil, but the closest thing you could get to the G/D is The Dead (with out Warren, he's great but not with the dead.) Bobby,Phil, Mickey, and Bill on the same stage is magic and its beautiful. But yes the Grateful Dead died over ten years ago. THANKS PHIL FOR A WONDERFUL FEB. RUN!!!5 more to go, Peace.

 

hahhahhahahhahhahhahahhahahah

 

Phil is where its at!

still got love for Bobby tho.

 

phil shows are the shit! probably the best show i saw was the Mardi Gras extrodinare in San Fran feb. 05......

 

I Will See You All There Man

 

Ratdog is OK....


I'm not big on sax myself but overall I support Bobby's project.

I liked Ratdog better in their first two years.
