@overbrookXXX keep listening guys, you'll eventually fall into a sort of ethereal and kindred type of relationship with the Dead music. In my mind, it's evolutionary.
@Django5198 Yes! I hope you had a great time in SF! When I think of SF, I think of DCBA-25 by The Jefferson Airplane. This is a fantastic tune. It's too bad that GD didn't stay with the psychedelic sound all the way through.
@mickeymousebiker1 I thought it was the greatest city I'd ever been to besides Paris. there was nothing I disliked about it (except maybe the weather).
@Django5198 I exist in NE Ohio. At its worst, the chilly/rainy weather in SF pales compared to the lousy roller-coaster weather here. For another matter, this region of America is dull/lifeless/unimaginative.
@mickeymousebiker1 Without trying to sound rude, I have to agree that the Landscapes of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and a lot of the midwest states do look sickeningly dull. I've never been but a lot of people who have been there say it's so boring it's almost scary. But there are some nice friendly cities around there apparently. Most american cities I've been to are really friendly
@mickeymousebiker1 You can always come to Philly. We have plenty of "excitement" over here - if you love B&D and/or S&M. You'll be on your toes trying to avoid getting beaten within an inch of your life (or outright to death) or getting murdered while going about your business. (P.S. I'm a native Philadelphian and will join you in Cali. Seems MUCH less anal retentive out there than here - if my impressions are correct.)
As Phil Lesh has said, the first Dead album didn't indicate what they sounded like live at the time, but I love it anyway. It's like garage rock with good musicians, and this is my favorite track. It wasn't until their next (and IMO best) album "Anthem of the Sun" that we heard what the band was really all about.
hard tune to play live, ie like this, even though basically this is studio live for sure, which is amazing, very well recorded

i wonder why jerry didn't like this song, its such a great tune

In my opinion, this was their best. Experimental, flamboyant, raw, and pure psychedelia at its best.

As much as I dislike this band, I gotta admit it their first LP is really fucking good. Their best work for my money

@Motown65 Agreed. Lots of improve (a bit like Jazz of the late 1950s/early 1960s).

I love this album. Why didn't The Dead put out more great stuff like this instead of all the mellow acoustic stuff that came after it?

@spahnranch69 you must be new, because there's TWO MORE ALBUMS OF THIS, and those two albums are even better than this
