The DU Lounge

so I could participate in a deeper discussion with you about this!

I am not a musician. I was a mediocre drummer in a prior life who could barely hold his own.

I guess I'm talking more about what the Dead's music "sounds like" to me...about the feeling it gives me.

I can recognize good jazz music, and that is what the Dead sound like to me.

It's all very interesting...I was playing the video in the OP on my computer upstairs while my wife was downstairs. My wife yelled up "Is that the Grateful Dead or is that a jazz group"?

That's what prompted my OP, because it got me thinking...

Thanks for the discussion!
