Same here. GD = excessive quasi-muisical masturbation. They are the origin reason I despise jam bands.

you'll find ramblers from East and West telling high of `fire on the mountain` and zipping around `going down the road feeling bad`

Haters will hate

It seems to me you know nothing about the greatfull dead 

Or music 

Am I wrong?

Touché^^^^^^

Was thinking from a musicians point of view

Talent wise 

I realize not everyone is going to like certain types of music

And now realize there is nothing to know

You either like what you hear or you don't 

I was wrong

Carry on

Listened to the Dead almost exclusively for 4 years. Dove way deep into the catalog and went to all the different cover band shows and various resurrections. I only occasionally put on the dead now. Much more into Phish these days becuase well... I can actually see them. 

Concerts and climbing have been the two sparks in my life. Music fills up my soul. Climbing satisfies my spirit.

you guys should check out dave matthews bands

Naw, too mainstream. I’m into underground stuff like Jack Johnson. You probably haven’t even heard of him.

No I’m honestly surprised no one has even heard of him, he is a skier but I still thought most climber’s would know what I’m talking about. I guess I proved my theory wrong.

I could count the number of pro skiers I could name on the fingers of all the bigwall aid climbing belayers I've ever trusted to not fall asleep while belaying. 

Also, Phish > Dead

Jam bands are like climbing, the trick is to surrender to the flow.

I keep coming back to 2/14/68 and "ladies and gentleman". Love the loosey goosey, unrefined feel of their earlier shows especially when they forget their lines lmao. Pig's dirty filthy toasting is such a visceral treat. Fuckin RIP buddy. Love to get some recs on similar shows.

I went to see Dead and Co, it was a nice experience and they opened with here comes sun shine. What I didn't like was all the police carrying machine guns.

I’ve seen 115 Phish shows. The Dead are far superior

You necro'd a 4.5 yr old thread for that important comment?

you know Chris benchetler is a dead head because Atomic gave him a van to go film a ski movie and he immediately went surfing and rock climbing instead.

Also the atomic bent chetlers look pretty cool but I could just spill a bunch of paint over my current skis for the same effect

I bet Tre can rip some bumps tho

So y’all want to continue this? Ok.
ALL jam bands suck monkey butt. Phish and the dead are merely the worst.

And THIS:                                                         They say every man needs protection             They say that every man must fall                     And yet I swear I see my reflection Somewhere so high above this wall

Yeah I searched to see if a name for one of my new climbs was taken and found this. For every boulder I establish I make sure there is no other climb in the country with that name.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
