I also love how Captain Trips & The Boys always looked like they were having a blast in those old photos from Haight Street, even when they're standing next to garbage... |

Just leaves me cold. Sounds like generic bar blues to me. There seems to be nothing remarkable about either the musical or lyrical content here. I'm stifling a yawn.

As Joe Strummer said: "F*ckin' long, innit?". That's the thing about bands in the 60s - you sure got your money's worth with track lengths ;(
Maybe track length should be shown in the song metadata on RP so's we know how long to mute for when a Sucko-Barfo comes on?

Ya totally missed the point of the comment. Feel free to diss anything and everything to your heart's deepest pleasure. My point is the obvious tendency among a fair proportion of the commenters on this site to denigrate the enjoyment that others get from, oh let's say, the Grateful Dead. You don't like a band or a performer or a performance? Great. But since music is so personal and preferences so idiosyncratic, my idea of good music is not actually better than yours. Some seem to get pleasure from explaining how much they do not like something that others like. This is something that simply does not make much sense to me. That's all. |

About half way through the show however I realized that they truly loved America. America the brave, America the free, America the beacon of liberty. Since then, I've moved to Canada for all kinds of reasons, but I still carry that sense of what America used to represent within its borders and around the world. It's sad that its lost so much of that. And now, thanks in part to the Dead, I'm a proud and patriotic Canadian.

It's not any sort of loathing or particular criticism of their music, I just don't like them. No, you're not the only one. During their time, I was listening to music of two types: astral/space rock (Yes/ELP) and music that sounded best at megawatt levels (Mountain/Cream). Never enjoyed their easy, folksy style, although I have grown to like a lot of their stuff, and this one is good. |

Never was really a deadhead, but this I like a lot, along with Workingman's Dead and American Beauty.

Positive or negative, it's the place for everyone to voice their comments. I like this song!  |

I want to copy your response and paste it whenever someone has felt the need to proclaim that one of the bands that I love is complete trash. I'm not a big Dead fan, but I totally see what others like about them - especially tunes like this. bam23 wrote:Why do so many of my fellow humans (recording their wisdom on this web site) feel a strong urge to express their dislike of experiences that others enjoy?
