If you want spacey jamming, the one that Ruge mentioned - Live/Dead. If you want their softer, CSNY-style, American Beauty or Workingman's Dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ones mooney has mentioned are the well known ones and are great albums. Live dead is also superb. They have made a lot of albums and a lot of them are worth having especially if your into collecting vinyl like yourself. My favourite album is aoxomoxoa. Great band and one of my favourites.

I'd recommend a live double album called FOR THE FAITHFUL... they were always meant to be listened to live, you can't go wrong with this one...if it still exists. i had it on cassette back in the 80's.

Rugeley Villa Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They made some good live albums and we're definitely a live band. It all depends if rob likes endless jamming. They even did a gig in Egypt next to the pyramids. They often get thrown in with bands like Jefferson airplane, the doors etc and although they are fine bands I think the grateful dead had a bit more about them. Much more diverse and could pull off the jamming better without it get boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2016 Must admit, before I heard the Dead, I thought they would be quite a heavy sounding band (probably because of the name). I was quite shocked to discover that their sound (both guitars and vocals) was actually quite thin and weedy. Still like 'em, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2016 Aaron Dessner from the National compliled an album of 59 Grateful Dead songs, covered by other artists. It's called Day of the Dead http://www.dayofthedeadmusic.com/ links to album's website, where there's loads of vids of the songs etc., and it has some belting songs on it. Take someone utterly brilliant, like Courtney Barnett and get 'em to play a song. Marvellous result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
