Ween: Happy Colored Marbles The Argus I'm Freaking Out I Fell in Love Today Touch My Tooter That is really tough, so many great tunes. Tomorrow it will be a list of just songs from the Mollusk.

The crazy uncle perspective makes sense. Important to keep in mind the amount of substances these guys have ingested when trying to understand their choices, taste, or relationship with reality.

Although the remaining members have earned the right to do whatever they want with their career, we have the right to give them shit for it.

Can't blame the other guys for not wanting to continue the Dead full time. It killed several of them.

Not sure why I threw Nels in there, guess I was saying that Mayer is not that great of an improv player either. It's fine if some people like Mayer, but they all seem to need to justify their taste by saying he is a great blues player, for which the evidence is lacking. Where are the great songs, solos, riffs? He's pretty good at copying other people's stuff. There are a lot of strat players that can do that, and if not for the Wonderland fame, he would not be given the time of day. If Howlin Wolf met Mayer, he would stab him in the head. And his voice is like a worse version of Dave Math

One of the best? As far as modern blues guitar players go, for which there are few, he's got nothing on Dan Auerbach, Jack White, Gary Clark, Derek Trucks. He's good at mimicking others, but has done nothing original. In the history of blues guitar players, he is completely forgettable, and contributes nothing as far as improv based music goes. Just a giant dooch. I mean, he's no fucking Nels Cline, that's for sure. Fuck that ass hat. Who would really spend there time listening to Mayer's music, when there are so many better guitar players in the genre. Just because it is a dying genre doesn't

Kind of cheating here: Top 5 Dickey Betts songs Liz Reed Blue Sky Ramblin Man Seven Turns Back Where it All Begins

That was decent, but Mayer didn't sing. Just can't stand the guy, don't want him associated with the band, particularly their final chapter. We already get enough shit from people that don't like the Dead. Mayer joining them would be a valid and indefensible criticism. He's an ok guitar player, but there are lots of those out there. He's like Clapton, if Clapton didn't have the first 10 years of his career and just went straight to the cheese.

Can we all agree that the Dead, or just Bobby, touring with John Mayer would be dreadful? It hurts my soul.

Sounds good so far. I haven't enjoyed the last 2 albums, felt they've gotten away from their identity and strengths. Maybe this will be a return to form.

Can't argue with that list. Liz Reed certainly is the one. Tough to leave off You Don't Love and One Way Out, but they cancel each other out due to similarity. You might be able to cheat and count Jessica> Mtn Jam> Jessica from one of the live albums as one tune. Black Hearted Woman is great too, but really due to how they played it live the last 15 years or so, with the Other One jam.

Nice list. I'd go with: Brown Sugar Moonlight Mile Gimme Shelter Sympathy for the Devil Torn and Frayed

Pink Floyd: Echoes Fat Old Sun Us and Them Shine on You Crazy Diamond Wish You Were Here My apologies to the other Pink Floyd songs that did not make the list.

Quality pics. I'd go with: Liz Reed Blue Sky Ain't Wastin Time No More Statesboro Blues Whipping Post

1. Crosseyed and Painless 2. Rock and Roll 3. Sneakin Sally 4. Loving Cup 5. 2001 A lot of great choices there. Dylan: 1. Every Grain of Sand 2. Blind Willie McTell 3. Tangled Up in Blue 4. Rolling Stone 5. Mississippi

I'm no Seger expert, and there's no wrong answer, but Get Out of Denver has got to be his best song. I don't understand why it's not more popular. Bob Dylan has covered it. Top 5 Seger: 1. Get Out of Denver 2. Travelin' Man 3. Beautiful Loser 4. Ramblin' Gamblin' Man 5. tie: Shakedown/ California Stars Seger really likes to leaves the g's off the ends of his words. Top 5 Wilco: 1. Poor Places 2. Handshake Drugs 3. Theologians 4. Misunderstood 5. Jesus Etc. Top 5 Grateful Dead: 1. China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider (I count it as 1 song) 2. Terrapin Station 3. Wharf Rat 4. Jack St

Here are the most details on the webcast and PPV I've seen thus far: http://shorefire.com/releases/entry/grateful-dead-original-members-to-broadcast-fare-thee-well-shows-as-live-pa#.VTgQ51msP8M.twitter

Tonight's the Night would be a good opener.

Here's a link to some audio of the splice in Half Step I referenced above. Actually goes on for about 20 seconds, and the talking is not backwards, just spead up. https://twitter.com/iwalklikeagiant/status/590535802548985856

Listening to Dick's Pics 14, Boston Music Hall 73. During the Half Step on my CD, there is a crazy audio splice that happens. Sounds like changing stations, gutiar strums, fast backwards talking. Totally psychedelic. Last about 5 seconds, totally freaked me out. Coincidentally occurred at 4:20 into the song. The same glitch doesn't show up in the youtube of the song. Anyone else notice this on their copy? Can't find anything online about it. Sure seems like something that was planted there, but maybe it is some kind of error that can occur when making CD's? Anyway, lead me to do some researc

Shapiro said in some interview they would be doing both in home and theater streaming, so hopefully the webcast option is still forthcoming. Poorly handled announcement if that is the case. Seems like they are doing their best to piss off every last Deadhead at this point. I guess if Donna shows up, we'll know that to be the goal.

Bear will rise from the grave to run sound one last time. And spike Lake Michigan.

And Pigpen. And the real Bob Weir.

Wrong thread, maybe wrong board. But for me it would be my last show, 2nd to last ever: 7/8/95. Finally figured out during Space they were trying to create sonic landscapes, and they had transformed Soldier Field into a swamp in the Everglades. Maybe it was something in the air that night, or something stronger in my veins. Otherwise a dreadful show, with the exception of Visions of Johanna.
