Let's remember that 'great music' is a matter of opinion. The original comment was sincere... simply expressing that, in his opinion, the music was not the main attraction. |

the dead were a force of nature. and just like nature, day in and day they continually changed. some days they shone brightly, other days not so much. but it always felt good to be surrounded by gentle, caring souls enjoying music designed to make you feel good.
and i have to admit, i think the dead jokes are kind of funny because they contain a kernel of truth, even if not entirely accurate.

That would be just your (unenlighted) personal opinion.

But DAYUM I love this song!
Best rhythm guitar I've ever heard. |

There are other versions of this song that are more musically interesting. Not my favorite Dead song.

Did you actually use the term, "gayest" as an insult?
Wow, I'm SO glad that I'm not you - stuck in the macho seat, needing to feel superior, searching for a witty riposte and coming up with "gayest."
Insults are the last bastion of fools and the ignorant.

Radio Paradise is almost as good for the messages the listeners leave as for the music it plays... excellent :D |

The Dead performed this one probably 200 times, most of which are readily available in circulation. Certainly you can find a version better than the Los Lobos. |

And even though it says "rain or shine", the show was actually a few days later since Roosevelt Stadium became a mud bowl after a steady rainstorm  . Like most concerts I attended back then, I only have fragmented memories  ... but I was able to listen to that show again recently to hear what I forgot via a download from http://tinyurl.com/39kv2
Hey I was there too, I remember you.  First time I saw them was right before they went to Europe, 1972. Pigpen was alive then, will never forget it. |
