My school bus driver turned me on to the Dead & NRPS in 1972. I was a sophomore in high school. He was about three years older than me and knew I smoked pot. We both played guitars so after school after everyone was dropped off we'd go to his apt, get stoned, play guitars and listen to tunes and jam. We're both still alive and best friends to this day 50 + years later

The Album that drew me to them forever in '70 (at 14 yrs old). Now, looking back, the Bands music has become bookmarks in my life.

[@mikegalvin9801]

Summer 1970 I was 15 (going on 16!). Not quite old enough for dating so pretty much all my allowance and money earned mowing neighbors lawns went to the record collection. Years later I found an old receipt from the record shop in my suburban village's downtown that showed one day I bought this, Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart and Let It Be. Wish I could be that kid riding my bike home eager to hear this for the first time.

[@jeffdawson2786]

A long time ago, when I thought the Dead were stupid, I became a baker. I came to the café to start rolling the dough for the breads and make the cinnamon rolls and pastries. Someone had left a cassette tape next to the little stereo on the counter, Workingman’s Dead on one side and American Beauty on the other. Reluctantly I put it on. I tell you the truth, I haven’t stopped singing along to these songs for 35 years. 🌹

[@chrislamberto5443]

When I was an early teen my older brother introduced me to the Dead and I didn't care much for most of it at the time, except for American Beauty and Working Man's Dead. The rest grew on me over time, but it took years. Today, I consider the collective work as an American treasure. Hope you're still baking. Cheers!

[@jdub1922]

Agreed! I was a punk into some country and jazz, go figure, but thought the Dead were wasted space. Then one day I heard a song I had heard as a kid, and was like I love that what is it?? Turns out I had been listening to Workingman's Dead as a kid without knowing who it was! My neighbor gave us his records when he moved, I was like 8, and loved this album. Then I forgot. Then I was reminded. I LOVE THE DEAD!!!! But not all of it... But this album is one of the great albums of all time!

[@classicrocklover1234]

I swear that’s how everybody starts, my buddies dad followed the dead and my buddy always was trying to get me into the dead and I didn’t care for their music besides American beauty workingmans and europe72 (he has those on vinyl) but it all grew on me and now there’s no date or dead era of shows I’d refuse to hear it every show from every year has something beautiful to offer no matter if they were on fire that night or not

[@classicrocklover1234]

The imperfection of a not so good night blended with the few moments of magic that still happen to slip out during jams is enough to Keep everybody around at least that’s how I see it

[@danielbennette7247]

I'm a Muslim convert who stopped really caring too much about music 30 years ago and was never a Grateful Dead fan. I wouldn't say I am now either. I have no connection to the community and probably, despite some definite overlaps here and there, wouldn't agree on very much with the band if we talked politics or philosophy. I have no cultural or peer-pressure reason to say anything good about this. But I'll tell you what... this record is one of the very few I've consistently listened to all my life. It's just a solid piece of music and even non or anti-fans will admit this if they listen. For me what sets this apart is something about the emotion in the voices and melodies. It feels like you're sitting down with a real friend. Even if you might roll your eyes at his stories sometimes, you can't help but feel empathy and want to hear him out.

[@aspringwind]

If you ask me this was a genuine break through album. The Dead landed from the cosmos and put their feet on the earth, focusing on developing vocals and exploring their American Roots through the songwriting. And developing their studio production skills. A masterpiece on so many levels. For those of you who don't "like" the Dead give it a listen. Nothing else like it.

[@mikegalvin9801]

@@ericmeacham9532 I believe he was in the whole European tour. He quit that summer but I think he did his last show in Bay Area then. I'm sure the serious Deadheads know all that stuff. My first concert was either end Aug or early Sept, '72 at Folsom Field just before I started my freshman year at CU Boulder (a magical time and place though I know everyone thinks of their youth as such). We didn't save ticket stubs as it didn't occur to us to do so. Also concerts were cheap so we went to lots. I did find an old stub from a concert earlier that summer in my old desk at my childhood home - the Rolling Stones with Stevie Wonder opening, Gen Admission $7.00. LOL. By the 80s I was in San Francisco in my working 60 hour week phase and didn't have time to follow the Dead although we used to go to their New Years shows in Oakland. I had friends who lived in the Adams Point area there and we used to walk down to the old Stadium I think it was called. All perfectly safe in that more innocent era.

[@913KCED]

In the late 70's, I attended The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. It was a "hippie" college and the campus would be empty whenever the Dead played anywhere within 200 miles. I wasn't particularly a fan at the time. Well, I did some announcing at the campus/community radio station (KAOS), including every other Friday night from Midnight to 4AM. The guy who followed me was named Martin and he WAS a Deadhead, so his show was always three hours of Grateful Dead tunes. One morning after I got back to my off-campus apartment, my radio was tuned to KAOS and Martin was playing some acoustic stuff recorded at a barn somewhere in Oregon. The music was BEAUTIFUL and even though I really needed some sleep, I stayed awake to listen to the whole set. I never became a Deadhead myself but ever since listening to Martin's show that morning, I've appreciated what they brought to the table, especially the Americana stuff on this album and "American Beauty," and how they understood that there is so much more to music than just selling albums.

New Speedway Boogie studio is still probably my favorite Garcia vocal performance

[@BardOfEarth]

FUCK! 1970 was FIFTY years ago? Dill Asher, Guitarist with Louisvilles Oxfords introduced me to it on cassette just before we went to do a 'retreat' ( lay low from the law ) on his grandmothers farm near London Kentucky. "New Speedway Boogie" has been a part of my life ever since. Very significant song, on a par with "Get Together" an "Somebody to Love". Thanks DEAD!

Flocking murder of Ravens gave me my totem there at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ- the po-po then so corrupt (now been busted and remastered, aha) they got my buddy Noel's brother for the Owlesly Acid, strapped him down to club his kneecaps & Noel being well, hard core, he blew up Sgt Rick Reeves car by his house, so darn boom-boom the whole house blew too. We were grateful, already dead, nothing to lose save our souls and our heads the schlitz hit the fan, and we just played run and gun with the man, then came these 2 clean & capable badges we respected, Harmon and Zangetti- like Billy Jacks, they just cleaned house, the staties came and arrested them all- Off. Joel Smith so big, he had to be put in the trunk with another officer sat upon, we came back for a long great Shakedown Street and some blues, got a call and mom said run and run far. Been on the move now, since I don't stop. Love your post. I am 62 and I can out play, out perform and out run most anyone, all over from JA to Bali, to Accra, to Juarez - never stop the music and nothing should ever stop you. Bard on !!! ~RaVen~

Wow a classic gem redone to a better perfection, my favorite, it was my first LP of GD, cool beans. First time is often the best...

[@FreshTake01]

Where’d I be without these guys and salsa dip.
