Further Notes on the Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead's claim to fame was it's extended musical live jams and
long instrumental improvisations. The Dead are well known for their Wall

Yep - they did some good stuff, but not center aisle stuff, imo.

Well, I guess I'll admit that I couldn't get into the Grateful Dead either in a
real way, although I warmed to them at a certain point. On a musically
unrelated point, I never liked Neal Young either; his voice stresses me out.
Jethro Tull, OTOH, rocked my world.
Probably the best studio recording of the group was done by Elektra
Records who sent a producer, Barry Friedman (aka Frasier Mohawk), up to
Seattle to cut some demo tracks. They thought we were a bit ahead of
the times. You won't get that from listening to Maggie or much of the
Jerden cuts.
