Deadhead here. Was lucky enough to see them 5 times, but only from 88'~92'. Like a little bit of every era of dead, but I agree the 90s were depressing.

The ETREE mobile app for iphone is the best thing to ever happen to mobile technology. I used to need an entire bookcase for my XL-IIs, now the entire collection fits in my pocket.

Android has a new one called Deadcast. Gonna install it on wifes phone later and check it out.

Rolling Stone description of the Dead 1969

""As weird as anything you can imagine, like some horror comic monster who, besides being green and slimy, happens also to have seven different heads, a 190 IQ, countless decibels of liquid fire noise communication, and is coming right down to where you are to gobble you up. But if you can dig the monster, bammo, he's giant puppy to play with."

- Rolling Stone, 1969

Saw them in 1974. I was high on some good blotter. They mostly played "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" stuff I think..
At the end of a 4 hour show, Jerry came back out and said the band had so much fun that night, and they had nothing to do the next day.. He said if we wanted, they would play again the next night for $1 per ticket to cover the cost of the arena...I went back the next night, just tokin' and really enjoyed the show..

Recent Dead Head, they're all I listened to for a couple months straight! China Cat Sunflower, Black Throated Wind, One More Saturday Night, Dire Wolf, they're fantastic!

Egypt, 78; Rockin' The Cradle has got to be ONE of my favorite albums.

i love the 1970 harper college accoustic set. the '77 cornell shows are another favorite for me as well the capitol theater shows from 71 that surfaced in the early 1990's. '77-'78 had some great st. stephen's. i had a couple hundred dead shows on DAT back in the day--with lots of soundboard->reel to reel->DAT. nothing like a grateful dead show. first show was buckeye lake 1991, caught about 30 shows in Jerry's last 4 years. my last one was in Vermont on 6/15/95, did the entire boston garden run in '94. i knew going into each show that he was living on borrowed time, so never took a show for granted.

harpur college, that should be... had it on tape before dicks picks chose it for a disc release making it available to the masses.

Hey everyone,

The grateful are one of my all time favs
Although I've only known about them about the last 10 years or so I like to class myself as a uk dead head !

Thanks

thought hawkwind was the UK equivalent, though the music is much different (metalesque psychedelia versus folk/improvisational).
