While not my favorite band, when you are able to improvise, on the spot, for an unlimited length of time, using every modal manifestation of a musical scale, including the chromatic scale, while still maintaining musical integrity, time and sometimes changing key signatures  you may then be qualified to decide what is garbage and what is not.   :D

While anyone is entitled to believe that their music sucked.
It is undenyable that they were the most popular touring band in the world from their comeback in the mid 80s until Jerry Died. 

They're also the only 'artists' that I know of that never demanded royalties for use of their copyrights from anyone.

Q: What do Deadheads say when the drugs wear off?
A: What the heck is that awful music?

Great sight btw, very cool.  :aok

Not a Deadhead myself at all but they have some great stuff. American Beauty album, obv, and Europe '72. I've always liked Shakedown Street too but I don't think that's canonical to the hardcore fans.

Great bluegrass-y version of Whiskey in the Jar by Garcia too:

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone

Gonna leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll

In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home

Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Have you listened to their music?

I'm best friends with the drummer's daughter Reya, I've seen quite a few shows backstage.

My boss's wife got to sit-in with him (she plays percussion.  They have a place up in Woodstock and saw him at Levon Helm's place where he had his Rambles.

The 2nd best acid I ever ate had the "Steal Your Face" logo on it.

You wanna talk about shock and awe? 

Wow.

This song undoubtedly kicked off a GD revival. I'm sure whackim wasn't born yet.
