i can almost guarantee that there's alot of dead heads on this forum terrapin and i'm pretty sure most of the people on here who say they've never heard of them are messin with you
i love the dead. i have listened to them since i was young and when i listen to them now, its like a nostalgic feeling. Jerrys guitar playing gets into my bone and makes me want to dance. i think robert hunter is one of the best lyricists of his time. I just think that they played incrdible together. there are sonme records that i'll listen to for a month and won't look at again but i always come back to listen to the grateful dead
no one ever gives Barlow any love, and he wrote half the (non-cover, non standard) cataloge with Bobby!
phil makes me giggle. bobby is a cutie. jerry i miss him. mickey... he's got the crazy eye. brent had the crazy eye too. donna jean. i don't give a shit what people say about her, i love her. bill. him and mickey together=magic. pssh. i don't feel like writing anymore.
I can't say they are one of my absolute favs but what they did for a movement and a genre of music is undeniable. They are the Beetles of jamb bands.
one of the best bands ever! great music! the ultimate mix of country,roots,rock and psychedelic music.
