Grateful Dead thread

the major scale and the mixolydian and dorian modes

yeah true but i mean, is there anything beyond that? i know he does alot if chromatic runs, but essentially i should just practice my major scales and modes?

Check out the Dick's Picks series of live shows, there's 36 of them total. They're all on Spotify. Check out ones from different eras to see how their sound evolved over the years. Early 70s Grateful Dead sounds a lot different from what their sound was like by the early 90s.

i made the mistake of smoking while drunk and on acid at dead and co last month and holy shit i was blasted into space. not very nice and i comepletely forgot the second set in which they played scarlet>fire

Also check out this really good compilation album. It's various live tracks selected by the band's bassist. A lot of variety in it, and the songs are all from different eras

Comfy thread. I'm a noob, so I'll be checking out some of the recommendations tonight. Thanks user

Can we make the logo a happy Pepe?

Have you been listening to many Dead and Co live shows? If so do you have any recs? I have yet to see them live and just found that they've got a lot of live albums on Spotify.

Get real high if you can. I know it sounds kind of lame but you'll appreciate the band a lot more, their music is basically meant to be listened to on drugs

Such an underrated era. They definitely played some shaky shows but the good stuff is amazing

find backing tracks, find what key the song is and just jam over it. Althea is a good starter

I want someone to make a dancing bear Pepe

nah i just go to see em live. Great experience overall, show and beyond, worth going to every year. just keep listening to dead, i just listen to the shows i went to once or twice for sentimental value. if you go make sure you go with some buds and tailgate beforehand

89 they were on fire. First half of 90 was comfy and in good spirits until Brent passed away. From there on out Vince brought some new energy to the band but Hornsby really held it down until 93. My favorite Althea is still Boston Gardens 93, absolutely smooth

WAKE UP TO FIND OUT THAT YOUUU ARE THE EYYYYES OF-THE-WORLD

Hornsby was a great addition to the band, he fit in perfectly and added a very unique flourish to their live sound

Jerry learned these scales by sight reading Mel Bay's scales for clarinet and similar. You can approximately get there just by exploring 1/2 step notes aroun the penatonic, major and minor scales. Also just playing the vocal melody and then wobbling it works wonders.

late 80s early 90s dead is best dead. I used to think it was because that was the era I was seeing shows but no, it really is. Jerry was the ultimate showman, and when his vocals started to crap out he compensated by turning up the jam levels to 11.5 his chemistry with Brent by the time it matured in the mid 80s was stellar.

Omni 1990 Althea then just let the recording ride, the back half of that show was amazing.

I used to listen to this live album all the time when I first started to get into Grateful Dead. 1989 is probably my favorite year of the band. I'm surprised there haven't been more official live releases from that year.

The casuals dictate marketing and most people never get past "late 70s coke dead is the pinnacle" yeah its high energy and good but listen to enough shows and you realize Jerry was very formula at that point and not taking many chances.

Yeah agreed, I think the late 80s-early 90s shows are way more re-listenable compared to late 70s. They're just way more interesting and weird sounding

post coma he came out a different player. The change is subtle but its there.

My dad was at this show. Also the '93 Omni with the last Dark Star.

Yeah I've noticed his on-stage demeanor seems different post-coma too, you can really tell he's approaching things in a new way

Yeah that whole tour was fire. I've often wondered if it was fire because they planned to put Without a Net out or they put WAN out because that tour was fire. Either way I'm glad I saw most of it although the memories are faded and concurrent at this point.

>tfw alive and in Atlanta in 93 but didn’t get into the dead until 2003
why bros

Damn. Did you see the (living) dead at Hi Fi Buys in 03 or 04?

Nope, have never seen them

Part 5 has the best musical references in all of JoJo, with bands like King Crimson, The Clash, Talking Heads, The Beach Boys, Kraftwerk and, of course, The Grateful Dead.
