Yeah....I really know what you mean. The Dead have always had this sort of charming, honky-tonk rambling quality, loose but clean too. And Jerry's soaring, inspired guitar work. Beautiful tone, and he never crowds his solos or other work with useless note clutter. He's masterful for his silences, and the notes he doesn't play. Jerry understands pauses and silence--and that's part of the reason his playing is so subtle.

If you are a lyric guy, they essentially had a top notch poet on hand in Hunter. The Dead's catalogue is essentially endless.

They blow my mind in my sobriety as much as they did in my non sobriety. The Dead were the quintessential American rock and roll band.

Btw if you guys really want to break down where the Dead sound comes from Phil Lesh the bass guitarist was a violinist playing classical music when young changed to jazz saxophone as he aged and ended up playing bass for the Dead and his style is influenced by Bach. Jerry Garcia the lead guitarist plays anything with strings (banjo pedal steel etc) and he played folk country and bluegrass early on Bob Weir the rhythm guitarist was originally into folk and blues and he is influenced by the jazz artist McCoy Tyner in his playing. The drummer Bill Kreutzman was originally into R and B and jazz. Two other members Pigpen McKernan on keys ,until his death was strictly into the blues and Micky Hart (not on this cut) was their second drummer and he was into International music. Put it all together and you get the Grateful Dead

As Jerry said to paraphrase since I don’t have the exact quote, the Dead are like licorice, not everybody likes it but those that do really do.

Type of music: Grateful Dead 😎

"The Grateful Dead arent just a band, theyre an environment " if youre on the bus you know.

The Grateful Dead are the originators of The Jamband. Live, improvisational jamming of any genre but with a hippy feel. That’s kinda their bread n butter 😉 They also, to me, are a fusion band. They play rock, jazz, funk, folk, bluegrass, country, Motown n everything in between

The first song, China Cat Sunflower, was created by the Dead themselves, the 2nd song was an old country/folk tune that they reworked in their own way. Jerry Garcia, their lead guitar was actually deeply into Bluegrass, as a banjo player, in the years before the Dead came together. Their bass player, Phil, was studying and composing modern Classical music, before he took up the bass to join the group.

The Dead like Pink Floyd are a genre unto themselves.

The greatest band ever! The Beatles with balls!

This is what country X rock X funk X jazz X blues X Motown fusion sounds like. This band is comprised of several members with varied genre abilities and backgrounds creating this unique fusion. Plus they were the early pioneers of psychedelic rock which has the highest level jamming and improv allowing them to maximize the fusing of these genres.

This is one of my most favorite pieces of music ever

They are the ULTIMATE "jam band." They never played a song in exactly same way twice, they made up their play list on stage as they played, and--as in jazz--they played off of each other. As for style, they were country, blues, bluegrass, rock, jazz...and pretty much anything else. They played what they felt. The thing I love the most about the Dead is the upbeat atmosphere of their music. You just can't help but feel good when they play. Welcome to your Deadhead membership, guys.

I was introduced to the Dead by cosmic accident in '74. My parents took my younger sister to the music store for her birthday and a cassette copy of Europe '72 had found it's way into their bag. So my first listen was Cumberland Blues. I grew up listening to Hank Williams, Johnny Cash etc. I liked what I heard but thought that sure is a strange name for a Country & Western band.

A couple of freak brothers from Iowa City staying at the same lodge were playing the Europe 72 tapes every day all day. My first listen was Cumberland Blues and at first I just could not get my head around the Dead's music. After about a week I managed though. Still glad I did.

Stop trying so hard

Jerry is easily the most underrated vocalist and guitarist ever if you combine both into one category. All the great guitarists love Jerry.

The transition between the trippy, dippy "China Cat Sunflower" to the CW/rock "I Know You Rider" is so-o-o smooth. Your heads were bopping on your shoulders. This was a live album from their Europe '72 Tour. You'll enjoy the vids of them playing live. Such a great band performing in the moment.

One of my favorite memories of the Grateful Dead: My brother Ray and I drove down to San Francisco for the closing of Winter land. Had no clue how we were going to get in, but not having a ticket when arriving at a Dead show had never been an issue. We figured it would work out. The Dead hit the stage a little before midnight and played til it got light outside. Breakfast with the Dead on a bittersweet New Year's Day morning.

The best from the best. This is there best live album. Many great songs.

Saw them many times live from 1977 to 1993. Such a great sense of community and joy. A lot of dancing amd tripping lol🎸🥁🤣😎

Rock promotor Bill Graham once said of the Grateful Dead they aren't the best at what they do, but they're the only ones that do what they do.

For those of you who didn't know, that's Bob Weir on lead guitar from 4:40 to 6:04.

First of all... thank you for the great reactions that you share on your channel, your perspective on the rhythms and the quality of the mixes is always appreciated. I am a long time Dead head and so it is good to see that you guys are heading down the rabbit hole of their songbook. I know that many fans are going to push for you to go after their live performances and I encourage you to also... I would just suggest that you first sample some of the Grateful Deads own live releases before you start into the mass of bootleg performances, which can be great but also uneven at times. The album Live Dead is a great recording of the Dead in the late 60's, Dead Set is a good one from the early 80's, and Europe 72 another fantastic recording of the band. Don't shy away from the studio releases also. American Beauty is a masterpiece, Terrapin Station, Mars Hotel and Touch of Grey are just another few that are well worth a listen.

the sound of a Fender Stratocaster when played by a musical genius

It is a badass tune!

Maybe my single favorite Dead cut. The guitars in "Rider" sound like sunshine glinting in a million directions as it passes through the pouring rain. The whole crazy locomotive of American music was roaring through the theater that night.

So much of their bluegrass and jazz influence comes through in this live performance, and it becomes a uniquely Dead brand of funky groove. 1972! This is the perfect example to spin when someone asks “why are their live recordings so much better than their studio stuff?”

The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began.

Bob Weir and Wolf Bros. are touring right now, you should catch a show. The same awesome music and a great time. Love it all.

If you were ever at a concert as they transitioned from China Cat to Rider, you have never seen an audience on their feet and dancing together like that anywhere else in your life ... pure joy!!!

Y’all should check out their song “eyes of the world” from 8/6/74… a limitless exploration of music at its finest

Here’s a Steely Dan “Kid Charlemagne” connection with the Grateful Dead. Steely Dan wrote that song about Owsley Stanley who most famously was the chemist behind the best LSD that was being produced in the 60’s and early 70’s. He was also a live sound engineer for the Grateful Dead and recorded many live shows of theirs early on. He also poured a lot of his money into the Grateful Dead’s legendary live sound system and out of that would spring Meyer Sound which is now one of the most famous and respected live sound reenforcement companies in the world.

You guys said it . They were a Jam Band . Definitely best heard live . Used to love trading tapes back in the day .

I bob my head the same way when I hear this tune. (Which is frequent. This is one of their best. Endless great versions abound).

They took every American genre of music (folk, country, western, blues, R&B/Motown, rock n roll, and even a little disco) and put ‘em in a blender. Then they performed it with the improvisational traditions of Jazz, Bluegrass, and Dixieland. The end result is something completely new and unique, yet feels strangely familiar and comfortable. People can argue about the “greatest” American band, but no band is more “quintessentially American” than the dead. “They aren’t the best at what they do, they’re the ONLY ONES who do what they do”

Jerry Garcia was an amazing banjo player as well. If you guys are ever up for some throwdown, his band Old & in the Way is Bluegrass heaven.

Grate reaction, guys!! You're right, they can't be pigeonholed into any one style, there's elements of EVERYTHING in their music. I spent years playing in Grateful Dead cover bands, and it was an amazing experience, to play with the loose roadmap of a chord progression, and essentially improvising over the changes, and playing off the other musicians . There's always an element of spontaneity.

As a good jam band lover like the beloved Grateful Dead, I mentioned in another comment that checking out the Dave Matthews Band live is worth a shot. They're an experience live. They mix in jazz fusion, while Dave, as down to earth as he can be, sings with his acoustic guitar while his incredible band takes off like a rocket in the jams and solos. whoa.

THey are kind of a hippie-jazz-country rock kind of thing. BUt definitely a jam band--they would hand out acid in their early shows in the 60s early 70s in the smaller venues and have psychedelic light shows that would show both on the screen behind them and on the audience, too--and the audience would hippie dance to the music--total free form in the light and music. They are a San Francisco based band and all about free expression.

One of the best jam bands to have ever existed.

Mickey Hart (one of the drummers)has said that the Grateful Dead were really in the transportation business, the music was how they moved people, like a taxi driver uses a cab. And we did call it Cosmic Country Music, Jerry came from a Bluegrass background.
