+1 Nice Transition.  Was thinking that the Ryan Adams song sounded like the dead and it led me here.

Love this.  I understand many don't like the Dead, and bet none of them saw them live back in the day.

This was the first Dead song I ever heard,  back in the day, and I'm glad I did.  Awesome!

I completely understand how many people don't like the dead... but to me no group has ever pulled as much emotion and feeling out with their music.

Godlike!

How do you overrate music that can make you weep with emotion?

I understand folks who don't "get" the music—I hated it for a long while too.
Then I saw the Dead in concert, and boy did that change things for me.
Hollywood Bowl, '72, I was young and straight as an arrow. Then dazzled.

The Dead could be the worst band you'd ever see. Then again, they could
take you to places you never thought you'd visit.
 
I couldn't agree more.

I was a late starter.  Saw them 6 times in 94 and 6 times in 95, West Coast shows.  Amazing life changing experience.

Saw The Dead in 03 and 04. Did full tour those times.  Not the same without Jerry but still good fun.

Thank you. Somehow this is the perfect song to come out of my computer. Even this rather restricted live version is fine. This song was generally the jumping off point for excursions into the vast beyond. There are some amazing versions out there that venture from this song into as many as 4 more, including Uncle John's Band, then recursively end up with Playing in the Band after 30 minutes. My wife thought of this approach as the nested do loop motif.

my very personal recommendation: take the live recordings "closing of winterland". I listened to Dark Star more the one hundred times during the last 25 years, and it's still one of the greatest guitar & band solo thing that ever happened.

When this album first came out, this song, "Me and My Uncle," and "Me and Bobbie McGee" were the ones I kept going back to. This was a boogie band that I'd seen do "The Other One," "St. Stephen," etc. many, many times that could lay down a short song with as much panache as the long, meandering suites. Although today they have as many detractors as apologists, they were special then and, I think, still. Without them, could there be/have been a Phish, moe, String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic? I'd say not.

That one's from "Deadicated". It's loaded with great covers, including Los Lobos'. Check it out.

I've always thought these guys, the Beach Boys and Pink Floyd were/are the most over rated bands in rock history.

Can't agree on the Pink Floyd / Beach Boys, but the popularity of the Dead has always puzzled me. Maybe massive doses of LSD are required? (Cool cover art though; Rick Griffin?)

Hating the Dead? I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley.
