re: Grateful Dead

did you ever catch any dead shows in person? i've been able to turn friends onto other bands in my living room, but the dead is admittedly a tougher sell, almost futile for some....at room volume, they definitely come off as lighter fare compared to others, so i guess sometimes it's hard to tell how powerful they really were unless you actually saw/heard it at 120 decibels. i was lukewarm about 'em until they crushed my ribs in person (particularily with phil's bass bombs) & i was onboard ever since
