Can anyone convince me that the Grateful Dead's music isn't a complete bore that inadvertently causes comas?

Answer 1

This is a true story...I saw the Dreadful Great, as my friends and I like to call them, in the 80's and I swear I fell asleep during the concert. I think it was the part where Bob Weir does a long drawn out boring solo. I verged on a coma for sure!!!

Answer 2

even as i'm no longer partial to theirs both, this remains an insipid question. I got here to words before with the actual undeniable actuality that different human beings's tastes in each and every thing from track and literature to nutrition and structure in many situations do not replicate my personal. You of direction have not, because you're soliciting for purpose motives concerning something that is very subjective in nature.

Answer 3

I take it you never saw them live in concert--or maybe you did but weren't in the right frame-of-mind...if you catch my drift. Not that one needs to ingest entheogens to appreciate the music, they just help to better understand where their ideas come from.

Download some shows (for free--and legal) from various periods and decide yourself. Nobody can make up your mind for you--especially if you already have a prejudicial opinion. There are a great many Dead-heads who preferred Jerry Garcia Band to the Dead. Perhaps you should listen to him in that setting and then work your way back from there.

But--as with and band, genre, or even entheogen--nothing is for everybody.

Answer 4

I think you have to appreciate the music not just the songs. Lyrics aren't as important as what the musicians can say just with there instruments. I can't change your mind and that is a good thing because in their day they sold out all their shows and I for one would rather have your seat go to someone who can appreciate what the band does and stands for.

Answer 5

I can't, but I'd like to add the Rolling Stones to that question.
