5 Hour Grateful Dead "Jam Only" Compilation 1971-1983 - 1st Edition

[@Frankybroadcast]

I've been as good as deaf in my right ear for almost 26-27 years. My left ear isn't great either. My wife got me bone conduction headphones for Christmas. The first song I put on was this one. I almost started crying. I'm hearing the Dead for the first time in a quarter century IN STEREO! My wife was crying just seeing my reaction. Best present ever! 🎁

The Grateful Dead - Tricking people into liking jazz since 1965

[@ericswenson322]

Ha, yeah, right there wit ya. Loved it then and now...

[@Jantom0714]

[@matthewcannon2560]

Whenever I tell people that I got into jazz because of The Grateful Dead, they give a condescending chuckle and say "no way." . . . Their loss!

[@tobyspeeks]

Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt, according to wiki, were some of Jerry's jazz influences, but as much as I appreciate your comment, those two and jazz are probably the least influential of Jerry's and the band's repertoire.

[@bunnybeckman8029]

Oh my word there’s Jerry in the print ! I love this ! Can’t wait for my trip to start !

[@karlnewman4184]

So gratefully earthed

[@Gabe-1997]

I've developed an appreciation for the Grateful Dead with time. Their music isn't as much about writing phenomenal songs or anything that can be described as flashy. More than anything else, the Dead is an exploration of sounds and sonic textures and positive vibes. Their music is something that can be easily visualized (very round and colorful, just like psychedelic visuals), so much like the psychedelic experiences that inspired it, sound and sight are seamlessly combined. EDIT: I wrote this when I was first getting into the Dead. I now recognize just how great their songwriting is, especially on American Beauty

[@done1675]

Oh no - they were phenomenal songwriters. That's my main complaint about Phish - they can't write a hook to save their lives. The GD were vastly underrated songwriters.

[@Gabe-1997]

@@done1675 you're absolutely right. I find the song "Unbroken Chain" absolutely stunning, just pure beauty. that and almost anything on American Beauty.
