Grateful Dead (Official Thread)

Grateful Dead Official Website
Grateful Dead Discography


Formed in the late 60's in San Fransisco the most famous Psychedelic band in rock history came together. Their past reads like a historical account of the wild and groundbreaking 60's. I am no expert on this band, I only have one album..."American Beauty", and am depending on the other fans who are way more knowledgeable than me to carry the torch. But I am writing this thread because we don't have one for this band, which is just unacceptable.

Here's a couple of pictures, I don't know the dates sorry guys.




Truckin'.




My only album...Groovy Man maybe you can convert me to the cause.





So let's all get aboard the Deadhead express and have some fun, everyone is welcome.

Re: Grateful Dead

No classic rock forum should be without an official Grateful Dead thread.


So, thank you Lord Grendel for getting the party started.

A very cool intro to one of the greatest American Rock And Roll Bands ever, if not the best?

I know there's some music fans out there who don't 'get' The Grateful Dead, so I've been always known to say...
The Grateful Dead aren't for everyone - but, they're for me.

It's hard to describe the Grateful Dead's music because they're ''a band beyond description''

Here's a non youtube video to get things started...

from the early days of The Grateful Dead...

A real cool tune that describes the San Francisco Haight-Ashbury scene, circa 1966/67...

Re: Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead is an amazing band. What shocks me is most teens in todays age haven't even heard the name before.

^^Hey it's GM man in the house.

I am not sure about the Best rock band, but they are legends and represent a cultural phenomenon as much as a damn fine band.

You are right RS, but thanks to the digital age(which our resident felonious feline doesn't like) their music will be there for anyone who Stumbles across it, just takes a little time for some younger music fans to broaden their repertoire.

I am not sure about the Best rock band,

I said greatest ''American'' rock band, all in my opinion of course.
