This band seems to elicit a range of reactions from people, from those who dedicated (deadicated) most or all of their lives to this band to those who loathe and detest the band and the unique subculture of the "deadheads". Where do you weigh in? If none of the choices is exactly right for you, please post an explanation.
I always liked the Dead, I saw them 3 times (84,85 and 88) and they are a fantastic live band. I think I fall in the 2nd catagory though, some of my friends were in the 1st, and I can tell the difference. this one guy I used to know owned 500 bootlegs.
I've always been a fan, though I wouldn't call myself a deadhead. I prefer their slightly later stuff, generally, but I can also appreciate the jam band stuff they did. As I write this I have "Box of Rain" stuck in my head.
Anyone know if their very early stuff, as "The Warlocks" is available? Would be interesting to hear them during the era when they were hanging around with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.
