WATCH: Rock legend Phil Lesh gathers musician friends for a Grateful Dead Passover

“Why can’t we eat veggie burritos tonight? Will I be miracled? Will they play ‘The Wheel?’ Will Phil sing?”

 

I appreciate their studio stuff, but man, I feel 90% of the time I'd go for a live recording.

 

Yep. They were a live band through and through

 

SPAC in 1 week Hartford in 2 baby

 

Line up a long shot
Maybe try it two times
Maybe more

Good to know
You got shoes to wear
When you find the floor

Why hold out for more?

 

Can anyone recommend me some good live albums. I've gone through their most well known studio stuff but choosing something from their live disco is overwhelming lol.

 

I've been to the last 4 meet up at the movies with my mom, has become an annual tradition. The shows have all been great.

 

This post might help, but imo from the contemporary live releases start with Live/Dead for a psychedelic experience or Europe 72 and/or Skull & Roses for a more rock/americana feel.

 

wow that was super well thought out thank you!

 

No problem! glad I could help

 

caught Dead and Co last night in virginia, shit got heavy

 

Saw em in SPAC, was great. a 50 year old teacher took shrooms and then passed out. good times

 

this dude

 

Hartford:

 

SOME GOT 6 MONTHS
SOME GOT 1 SOLID
SOME GOT 1 SOLID
YEAR INDEED-EE
BUT ME AND MY
BUDDIIIIIIIIEEEES
WE ALL GOT LIFETIME
HERE

 

if you listen to one song from that show listen to "The Wheel"

Or more accurately:

The Wheel>The Wheel/Stay (Tag)>The Wheel (Reggae jam)>The Wheel

 

happy 4th, heads

remember, uncle sam hidin out in that rock n roll band

 

fenway was wonderful last night and if i weren't away tonight i'd be there again

 

Ah man I missed you! I'm here. Very excited

 

Awesome, so jealous. Hadn't seen a show at fenway before but was pleasantly surprised by the sound once I found a good spot. Hope you guys get a run like set 2 last night.

 

You think Playing>Estimated>He's Gone>Sugaree>Fire qualifies? I think so. Wow. What a fucking show. So damn good. Couldn't have wished for much better. Sound was a little off at the beginning but it sounded great from our right field grandstand seats after that. I'd comment on individual songs that were great but it'd just be the whole setlist. Maybe my fav D&C show I've seen. Also I love Donna so much, so amazing to see her out there with the boys again, warms your heart

 

'73 is the dead's best year

/hottake

 

been looking for the best Sunshine since SPAC and I'm pretty sure its this

 

honestly think the "Live/Dead" Lovelight might be the best song they ever recorded
