I always loved this site.. and loved this song. artsites.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/direwolf.htmlThe Annoted Grateful Dead. The site didn't come around long after Jerry left us (3 years later) and it is one of the oldest sites online. It was cool to be part of the internet back then (mid-late 90s), and even cooler to have been a lifelong Grateful Dead fan. I just thought the deadheads might appreciate this one. And also people who never listened or cared for the band, or are simply too young. This kind of stuff transcends generations. I see so many young people at Dark Star Orchestra and Dead & Co shows these days, it really is wonderful to see the music carrying on, long after most of us will inevitably be gone. I beg of you, you don't murder me! Please don't murder me!  |

Donna's voice became a little too powerful for even the Grateful dead towards the end and she had to go her own way, but yes. She wanted to go, also...

I think Donna showcased her voice on Terrapin Station and after that not much else was heard from her.. I may be wrong..
I do think her voice is amazing and could have had a successful solo career if she wanted to go that route.

Not a fan of their music but I respect the hell out of what they did and how they did it. Never been to a show but I have watched a lot of documentaries about them. Many of my friends have seen double digit number of shows. One was even arrested for running around naked at a show but that story is not to be retold...

Ran around naked at a show but that was when it was considered run of the mill I guess.. Didn't get arrested, got a lot of support for what I did though from fellow fans, however. No idea what I was on that day. Probably just high on life and music. |

Thats the main guy we all wanted to hear, Capn Trips. |

I cant even stand to watch the ball drop on new years anymore. The music is AWFUL.

I seem to distinctly remember Jerry Garcia saying to his business manager back in the 80s who said that he hated the Dead's music "you need to have taken LSD to truly understand our music".
His reply was "Sorry. I ain't no druggie".  |

The old generation is supposed to hate the new generation’s music. It’s just the circle of life. |

The old generation is supposed to hate the new generation’s music. It’s just the circle of life. It really is terrible though... Also my generation grew up on the blues music from the 30s and 40s and gospel and folk and country... Thats where OUR music came from. This stuff is just terrible, and even most of the millennials arent listening to it. Its just bad. Miley Cyrus??? What is that?? Can someone explain? No depth, no substance, just vapid trash. I'm sorry. |

I totally agree about today's music ... very little worth listening too. Luckily, our generation put out enough to satiate me through the rest of my years!  My last Dead Show was in 1994, Buckeye Lake Ohio: www.concertarchives.org/concerts/grateful-dead--102It had been raining before the show and caused a delay to start. When they finally came out, they opened with a cover of the Beatles tune, "Rain" ... phenomenal! |

I could never get into the Dead. I did all of the appropriate things, but I guess it wasn't in the excess needed. I like Workingmans Dead and a couple of songs from other albums, but most of the rest I don't get.

Loved The Band..Lavon Helm...what a voice...Arkansas hillbilly, from Turkey Scratch, Ark....and The Traveling Willburys a conglomeration of the best musicians, IMHO. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne...fabulous sound...all playing in Jeff's kitchen for their "recording studio". Just a bunch of guys having fun.

the Masked Marauders was a hoax, but the Traveling Wilburys was real and released 2 albums of their music.

thebriarpatchforum.com/thread/2914/daily-chronicle?page=390&scrollTo=287072A few years later, right as Shoreline ampitheater in Mt. View Ca. opened, I was headed to LA in the big truck, stopped at the 7-11 as usual right down the street from the new venue...one guy working. Right as I was getting my coffee a caravan of Deadheads rolled up in school buses, swarmed the place, one guy put a can of beans in the microwave and hit the button resulting in a pretty blue flash...while the cashier was attending to that, several others scurried out with 12 packs under their serapes...they really picked the place clean.

The problem with the Dead is they could never do the same song twice and sound the same. They used to play Vegas every June back in the 90s bringing with them unwashed dead heads selling bootleg cassette tapes and acid. If not for the acid they could have been the worst band ever live. Of course poor old Jerry has been gone for 24 years now he just could not stay sober or un-drugged along with diabetes and that did him in.
