Grateful Dead fans - I do get it
The Bob Dylan thread inspired me to start this thread.
I saw the Dead at the closing of Winterland on new years '78/'79. An instant Dead Head, I saw them over 200 times after that. I still listen to them all the time and never get bored. When all the instruments get in perfect sinc in an improvised jam, there's nothing like it.
Yet, I meet people often who can't stand them. They think Dead Heads are just drug-addled hippie dolts. My theory is that their brains are not wired to process the complexity of the sound and it makes them uncomfortable. Kind of analogous to people who are prone to seizures from flashing lights.
Why do you love or hate the GD?
