Re: Labeled a Dead Head |
I'm quite happy to be called a Dead Head. It makes me a bit unusual in the UK. These days people I speak to about my musical taste tend to fall into 4 categories - those who know about the band and don't like them, those who know about the band and like or respect them, and those who have no idea what I'm talking about. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the length of shows and indulgences, but I find that particularly among my own age group (late 50s) people have a warm feeling for the band and their fans.

Re: Labeled a Dead Head |
most people who have never listened to them just think they get up there and play the same song for 2 hours without any form of direction. ive had numerous people try to tell me this and i can guarantee they have never even heard or been to a show. just going by the "stereotypes". they dont realize how much songwriting talent jerry & bobby had. anyone who tries to tell you this, just hand them a copy of american beauty and workingmans dead to start with just to get the whole 2 hour long song thing outta their heads. then give them 5/7/77 and 5/8/77. if they dont like that then they will never understand. we're part of a somewhat exclusive club and i kinda like it that way. im coming close to filling up my second hard drive with dead shows and people think im nuts. we all know we're not nuts though. just addicted
