Zombies are overrated.
They use to be cool but they're now boring. The only reason people use them is when they're not creative enough to come up with actual enemies.
Jacob Davis
Fuckin love um
American Beauty is my favourite album of all time.
Alexander Reed
saw them 13 times
Lucas Cruz
A quintessential American album.
Jaxson Evans
They're awesome. Top tier band.
You lucky fuck
Wyatt James
I really, REALLY hope they do a west coast tour (including BC!) sometime soon!
Hudson Wilson
legitimately my favorite band. i've never heard a band that can do any genre of american music and do it well with conviction. easily the most american band of all time
Xavier Allen
Dead & Co., I mean. I've seen what they can do with John and I'd love to see em live. I'd go see em in Washington state but I'm a poor fuck who doesn't drive. Really hoping they come to Vancouver!
Cameron Reyes

I love GD, but I tend to gravitate towards the Pig Pen years, myself
Cameron Lewis
That's a Pepsi ghoul you dumbfuck. Besides, Zombies aren't even real.
Kayden Carter
I kind of like their studio albums but fuck off with those 20-minute live versions.
Leo Anderson
those 20-minute live versions are the only GD stuff i enjoy haha
Ian Gonzalez
I am a fan of david bowie
Nathaniel Murphy
Is this satire?
Lucas Howard
love them
Aaron Torres
i think they're an undeniably great band. You won't like everything they did, but they did a lot and experimented and had great chemistry and released some amazing albums. historically important, too, basically defined the 60s/70s
really sad but unsurprising that Sup Forums generally ignores them. I wouldn't even be surprised if over 50% of Sup Forums was polled and unironically voted Death Grips as a better band than Grateful Dead
Jacob Lopez
Sup Forums is too busy trying to listen to mucore and whatever new fantano thing to take the time it actually takes to get in to the dead. it seriously takes like a good year or two to understand the right way to find shows and shit.
>between '68 and '78
this guys got it right. im too young to have seen jerry but i did catch a fare thee well show which was great imo but im sure not the same.
being this european
the dead also deserves credit for a whole lot of how live music is experienced in the modern day. bit torrent was created by dead fans to "trade tapes" and they did the first ever concert simulcast.
Levi Ortiz
Was always put off by them as they seemed to fall into that dad rock category, stuff like Jethro Tull and Yes. Although I do like Aqualung. Probably completely off the mark here.
What should I listen to first?
Joseph Cooper
try this. its often considered a holy grail show and i think has something for everyone. bluesy, funky, disco, but with plenty of experimentation and loads of groove.
Jonathan Butler
sounds awesome, thanks!
Nicholas Diaz
I've got several first-hand cassette bootlegs of Dead sets in SF, I'll have to see if they still work
Christopher Turner
must hear
Christopher Wilson
no problem. if you wanna go more for outer space folk music try europe 72 shows and if you want serious hippies in the mud stuff try any of the dicks picks from 73 or 74. also a show from 75 called one from the vault is serious top tier jam heaven. id mostly stick between 68 and into late 77 personally, though there are gems to be found in the late 80s and early 90s.
