      @endo I thought your post might be directed at me,but when you didn’t tag me I thought you were putting it out there for everyone. When they did the 50th Anniversary tour I didn’t go to that,because I just want to keep my memories of the band intact. I guess Wayne had some material and I’m sure that there was no shortage of musicians wanting to play with him,and he was keeping The MC5 alive,so to speak. Don’t think it would have garnered as much interest/attention if it was just a Wayne Kramer solo album.

            I've been working on a cover version of this album with a couple friends off and on for a few years and the youtube algorithm blessed me with this tonight

              Just thought I’d throw this up here for any Matthew Sweet fans. He had a stroke on tour and needs help.

                    @goosehd damn, sad to hear that.

                    Always felt kind of alone here in the UK as a fan of the dead, but watching films/reading about their story and sporadically speaking to folks I'd met at dead tribute shows in London, it was easy to feel like you knew each member of the band...

                    Fare thee well.

                        @GraemeE I know most Deadheads will advocate for their live shows to be the definitive way to experience the music, but for me, there's just something so wonderful about listening to Workingman's Dead/American Beauty back to back on a certain kind of cool, sunny morning.

                        They conjure such vivid pictures in my mind of a far away land (America), decades before I was born, and just for an hour, allow me to escape to a sunshine daydream of a world where I roam free with nothing but the open road in front of me and memories of a long lost lover in the rear view mirror.

                        Brokedown Palace > Truckin' are the closing two songs on my funeral playlist, and I don't see that ever changing.

                          @T4920 I'm in a similar camp .
                          The live stuff (or at least the recordings I've heard) doesn't grab me as much.

                          That being said I have, and enjoy, every studio album from anthem to wake of the flood and a few stragglers from the later period

                              @GraemeE @T4920 there’s honesty so much live stuff that it’s sometimes (imho) hard to find what suits your fancy. My favorite live Dead iteration was the slim 5 piece that existed for a little while during 1971. Gator strat, lotta kinda southern rock influence, no Donna Jean. If I recall correctly these were the Houseboat tapes that were discovered — originally given to Keith Godchaux so he could learn the parts. Anyway, it rips and it’s my favorite shit.

                              For anyone not using Spotify, it’s Dick’s Picks 35.

                              RIP Phil ❤️

                                I love the website www.relisten.net which has every Dead show chronologically by year. Has the set list,and ratings of every recording. My Dead project last year was listening to as many New Years Eve shows as I could. Lots of times when I’m editing photos I’ll just pick a show and have it run in the background.

                                  That might be part of the challenge for me although I do have fond memories associated with listening to shows on cassette.

                                  When I was around 19 I spent a season working at a winery where the routine was that the owner handed you a homemade bong (made from a 7 up bottle) first thing in the morning and then proceeded to play dead tapes until quitting time.

                                        @GraemeE I've listened to all the 'classics' when it comes to the live shows, and will occasionally stick a random Dick's Picks on, but I'd rather focus on discovering new music the venturing too deeply into the Dead rabbit hole, as much as I love 'em..

                                        Bumping Aoxomoxoa this morning though!

                                            Check Dick's Picks 19 Morning Dew for some serious Phil bombs.
