I was a late-comer Grateful Dead fan starting in the late 70s, up
until the band was no more. I smoked a lot of weed and could sit still
for hours, thinking about everything and nothing, while enjoying their
bluesy noodling and thoughtful lyrics.

Then, along came Phish. I tried and I tried, and I've tried, again.
But, still, to this day, they seem like a bunch of bored ivy leaguers
sitting around a stuffy living room making that **** up as they go
along.

What am I missing? I want to love this band named Phish.

They both suck ass. I find nothing at all appealing about the
Grateful Dead....suck ass music put out by drug addled losers. They
led a generation of idiots further down the road to drug addiction.

"Don't Fear the Raper" was a good song, though.

I voted for Obama.

I once attended a Grateful Dead concert at Sandstone in Kansas City to
see what all the hubbub was....the whole place was filled with people
looking to score acid...hippies walking past me saying "doses". I
would say that 95% of the crowd needed very badly to take a shower as
well....the body odor was overpowering the marijuana smell. The music
sucked ass....but I did not alter my reality in order to listen to it.

I attended a bunch of Grateful Dead shows - showered and sober. Your
view is skewed. Saying they Suck Ass after one bad experience is like me
saying you're a moronic dolt after reading one of your posts. Capice?

So you're in the 5% that are showered and sober. And I didn't say
this one experience made me think they suck ass....I felt they sucked
ass before, but was talked into going by those who don't think they
suck ass....I came away thinking they still suck ass. And after
reading Tom Davis's (of Franken and Davis fame) new book I came away
thinking they suck ass even more than I'd ever imagined anything could
suck ass.

It depends on how drugged up Garcia was. The slow version

I'd still like someone to compare and contrast the general styles of
the two bands (Phish and The Grateful Dead) to see what it is that I
may be missing, related to my dislike of Phish, specifically.

So I went to the Phis website and heard this sound describing what
you said. Interesting though.

I always heard that one song they played on the airways of the Dead, and I absolutely
hated that song. That was the only song I ever heard until MTV. I was down
at Nags's Head, and the Dead were playing at a little pub down the street.
Didn't seem to get any interest on going there that night. This was after the death
of the dead. Sombody did find an old Dead CD in the parking lot. Was it thrown out ??
