Regardless of what some may think about them, they are a successful and capable band. To deny that is just flat out ignorant. They aren't everyone's cup of tea, but you can't discount them as musicians and as an important band in history.

I can discount one or two of them as musicians. I don't think anyone is denying that they were successful.

Mickey Hart springs to mind. A drummer who can't keep time.

from Billboard:Quote
The Dead’s last performance with Jerry Garcia, who died in August 1995, was at the same 55,000-seat capacity venue on July 9, 1995.
The sense of closure is no accident: These shows are likely to be the finale for the “core four,” as the surviving members are now known: Bob Weir, 67; Phil Lesh, 74; Mickey Hart, 71; and Bill Kreutzmann, 68.
“These will be the last shows with the four of us together,” Weir tells Billboard.
Sure sounds like the definitive end, the 50th anniversary of the band, the 20th anniversary of their last gig with Garcia at the same venue, and a Gather-Ye-Deadheads one more time all rolled into one. Jimmy Herring (sp?) might have been a musically warmer choice than Trey; no need to pull in the Phish generation too if this is the last hurrah.

Fare Thee Well co-promoter Peter Shapiro's Relix Magazine reveals that the 60,000+ envelopes are "requesting an estimated 350,000+ tickets for the three nights." We knew these shows would be popular with fans, but not to that level.

Anyone care to bet they'll add more shows?

he was a drummer in the military marching band, I'm sure he can keep time just fine when he wants.

Love the Dead.
Any Stones fan should be able to find some common ground. I was listening to Promised Land last night. Weir's vocals are great & Garcia has some nice guitar licks as well as back up vocals. I recall an interesting Dead version of Satifaction from JFK. There are loads of others & I can understand how some of the more far out suff (space) may not appeal to everyone but both camps could probablyl learn from each other. Certainly I would like to see the Stones get ticket prices down/keep them out of the secondary market & play some smaller venues.

dead guys have that weird floppy pulse..one can see it in the right arm of wier above versus mayer...dead style guitar players don't damp or play chord partials enough and instead strum through the whole chords every time.. that is in part why their Chuck Berry type stuff sucks ass.
gimme bill charlie n keith or Sly n Family Stone of James Brown any day
I love a solid pulse and the Dead do not play that way.

Ian McLagan wrote in his book that he was invited to join the Grateful Dean but he turned it down, even though it would have meant a lot of money, because he just didn't get the music...
