Grateful Dead - Fire on the Mountain - 4-27-77

epic - siiick-tiiiight

Thank you for this wonderful video - this incarnation was my favorite GD format and I think they did their best work then - and Jerry was playing at his best. The misty ghostly quality of the video also fits perferctly with the music. and Jerry plays some beautiful lyrical guitar here - Jerry was not the most technically polished musician, but when he was "ON" his lyricism, taste, sensitivity and inventiveness were great and unique and this clip showcases some of the best of his work.

obviously it depends on yr needs: frank is great for vegas, rap is great for, um, pretending yr a badass polymorphous gansta even if in suburbia, but the gd is key for transcending the pitfalls of genre-obtusity, and rather letting yr body instead do the talking.

Wellspouted!

i miss them so much. but it was great while it lasted & i'm happy i got to be a part of something that i doubt will ever happen again.

i think that the dead did some of their most groundbreaking shit in new jersey

Frank Sinatra sang. That is obvious. He sang slowly, but he sang. Just because your 'ideas' are new, doesn't make them good. You need to grow up a bit.

Yeah it takes a lot of skill and soul to push a button on a drum machine!

@Alfrunk that is exactly the point i am trying to make it takes zero talent and heart to rap @DeA2875 im sure Frank Sinatra would fall over dead if he heard you comparing him to rap and I'm also not saying that I could make a record i just think its sad that so many of these untalented people are getting paid for their "music" if we look back on the genius of the past such as the Dead we can see that rap is just Retards Attempting Poetry

Not necessarily a positive thing... sometimes weed makes me care/notice about the shit happening around us more!!
