Greatest Live Songs And Albums Of All-Time

I was and still am a Dead fan so Skeletons from the closet but oddly enough I also liked Terrapin Station ...

Friend of the devil, Casey Jones, Sugar Magnolia, Trucking.....

I was all over the place when it came to music from the dead, the doors, jethro tull to loggin and Messina...yes Charlie Daniels , Fleetwood Mac Dan FogelbergI, James Taylor, The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Fun some nights ....never was a fan of Peter frampton sorry guys. I like lyrics so if I had to put a best in that category by far Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel but lots come close.

You picked me up where the bolding starts and kept on trucking'...
 
I've been limiting myself to one post a day on this thread, but I think maybe I'll do two today.

 
I’m listening to a James Taylor Line Em upright now...

Yeah well most dead heads didnt, I painted the dancing terrapins on my glovebox in my beatle lol.

That's how you can be sure it's a good one. Anything Dead Heads thought was bad was probably something I would approve of. And if a Deadhead
secretly liked Terrapin Station then they'd keep it quiet so as not to draw the scorn of the rest of the bunch.

I could tell some stories, but suffice it to say that going to a couple of Dead shows convinced me that the hippie thing was
just not my cup of tea. I still like some of their music, but......counterculture? Not too much. I found them to be far less tolerant and
way more conformist than they made themselves out to be. No wonder they "need a miracle every day". None of them thought to bring food
or money to the weekend festival. Who knew, maaannnnn?

Great musicians with a huge body of solid work and an even huger cataglog of just awful filler bullshit. My favorite Dead (or was it Garcia?) song is probably "The Wheel"
which is a beautiful song once you skipped over the 15 minutes of trippy nonsense that precedes it. It's probably considered a piece of shit by the herd, but
I couldn't care less.

I used to feel sorry for Jerry Garcia. He never wanted to be Jesus to those people. He was trapped.

Damn it I just spit out a very good Pinot noir all over my counter lol....
I’m guessing you were a Peter Frampton fan 😂

Nah, not really. I suppose at that point I was more a rocker type than a hippie, but back then things all sort of blurred.
Picture a Boston guy who couldn't stand being around idiots and that was probably me.

Byrone Sneakerlaces. I had a conversation with a genius who called himself Byrone Sneakerlaces and, according to
him, I "was a bum-mer, maaannnn". This was because I didn't share his narrow worldview about adherence to the
bizarre Deadhead code.



73 HS or grammar school?

I don't know what this means. I graduated HS in 73, if that is what you mean.
 
Going to throw a left-field one in here.

Sinatra's "In the Wee Small Hours" from 1955. One of the first-ever 'concept' albums and it's a real gem. A lot of lonely, heartache in the music.

Isn't that a studio album, and not a live album?
