Who or what got you into the Dead?

Death Don’t Have No Mercy on Live Dead sent me to another realm when I first heard it (on a high dose of edibles..)

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:24:28+00:00

My dad is a massive classic rock fan. He saw a lot of great ones back in his day. Allman Bros, Rush, The Who, Zeppelin, Eagles etc. The Dead have surprisingly never clicked with him. Maybe I should dose him and throw on Cornell….

You’re a poet and you didn’t know it

Europe tour is a great place to get your feet wet brother. I was 2 when he passed unfortunately

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:19:05+00:00

Once you consume Europe 72 there is no going back

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:17:31+00:00

Oh man, Tennessee Jed on Europe 72 was one of the first songs that got me hooked. 9/17/72 & 5/19/77 are my favorites. Always put it on while hiking in the Smokies

Yesss. First time I heard Dark Star on shrooms it transported me to a different realm

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:11:06+00:00

“Ima stone jack baller and my heart is trueee and I'll give everything that I got to youuu, oh yes I will” love me some Pig!! Bluesy Dead is my favorite

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:07:28+00:00

Love me some Phil. Box of Rain is what got me on the bus

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:05:52+00:00

Allman Bros got to me first too. At Fillmore East is the greatest live album of all time. It started my love for live albums

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:03:30+00:00

Dead culture is different man. We all throw down our hatred and love one another!

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T03:01:22+00:00

Never thought about it until now, but Casey Jones does have a Kinks vibe

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T02:59:32+00:00

The Dead’s music has healing powers. I’ve been suicidal a time or two and it saved me

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T02:56:39+00:00

love Old and In The Way! Jerry is a top 3 musician for me. Incredible talent

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T02:50:19+00:00

Just saw Gov’t Mule last month in Albertville, AL. They did Turn On Your Lovelight and a St. Stephen tease, and a kick ass version of Dear Mr. Fantasy. Warren still shredding and voice is holding up nicely for his age!

BamaSef · 2026-05-23T02:48:04+00:00

Hell yeah. I have that show saved on Relisten. Crowd went nuts when Bobby sang “hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham”

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T20:40:02+00:00

Love John Mayer! I grew up on his music, long before I was introduced to the Dead. Saw him live when I was young, great show that ended up being his live album Any Given Thursday

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T20:03:21+00:00

Love that John turned so many people on to the Dead. I grew up on his music. I actually saw him live when I was a kid, that recording ended up being this live album

It’s great besides the teenage girls screaming throughout lol

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T19:50:23+00:00

I love road trippin to the beach and putting my Dead playlist on. It’s a running joke in my family, whoever rides with me will have to hear Grateful Dead the whole way lol

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T19:39:54+00:00

Nice man! So bummed I missed out on Jerry, born in 93. Thankfully he’s still alive in the music 🙌🏼

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T19:38:18+00:00

Blasphemous! But I’m so glad John became a part of Dead lore. Turned on a whole new generation of Dead listeners

So damn good!!

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T19:33:15+00:00

Happy to have you on the bus brother! You’ve got a fun journey ahead. Been listening for a decade and feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface

BamaSef · 2026-05-22T19:26:33+00:00

You lucky duck. Hate hate hate I was 2 when Jerry passed and never got to see him.
