Never heard of the band, but, then again, I was one of the first to post on the "Any Classical Music Lovers out there?" post.

I lived in Marin county, CA. grew up there.  my father was moonlighting as a ferrier and got a call one night after he had already shod ten or so horses that day ...from a man who turned out to be the manager of the Grateful Dead.  Within two months time, he and his family moved into our six bedroom victorian house with us.  I got to feed and water the six horses they brought with them.  I was eight years old.  He and my father were longtime friends and the stories are rich.   My father passed almost fifteen years ago but, i still run into the man in santa barbara occasionally.  He made a big impression on me... and the trip goes on:)

Who are the Grateful Dead, and why do they follow me where ever I go?

Went to a lot of shows when I was living/growing up in Santa Rosa. Also saw em with Bob Dylan and John Foggerty.. Awesome live and best viewed back in the day at the Shoreline Amphitheater down in Mt-View. (IMO)

 

That said I was never Dead Head but had friends who were and I was always up for a concert to which it seemed they were always playing. Never made it into the New Years events but passed many eves partying at the Oakland Coliseum parking lot to ring in Father time... Hands down the best concert crowd out there!

 Prankster, may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows yer dead, and may yer caket be honed from the finest wood of a 200 year old oak planted this day.

I remember back in '95, I was in Boston for the MacWorld computer show when we learned that Jerry had died. Went to the vigil they had at Tower Records. It was a sad night.Cry

I like the dead, but you might be going a little crazy with that statement.

Yes Gratefull Dead.Aoxomoxoa is the best album for me.I have read at an article that at their lives many fans were drinking orange juice with LSD!!It's not hard to believe it.1965-70 it was a "dangerous" period..I like them and everything about psychedelia,progressive such as 13th Floor Elevators,Eloy,Camel,King Crimson,Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band,Kaleidoscope,The Byrds,Trees,Van Der Graaf Generator,Jefferson Airplane,IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,H.P.Lovecraft,Agitation Free and many many more

But first of all are Pink Floyd for me.You can tell me your opinion about them if you want.I have a forum at my profile
