Yeah, beautifully done. I kind of wish the Dead had stayed more experimental, exploratory - they were so versatile in those early years, thru I suppose the mid-70s.

The jam band stuff never really was my thing. Also wish Jerry had done more with the pedal steel, which he had the touch for.

Ah, the infamous 'Playboy After Dark' performance!

The January 18th, 1969 performance has become something of a legend in recent years, especially after Bill Kreutzmann’s telling of this story on Conan back in May 2015. As the legend goes, the Dead’s sound engineer/LSD chemist Owsley “Bear” Stanley slipped some of his homemade psychedelic concoction into the Playboy After Dark crew’s coffee supply, effectively dosing the entire staff for the late-night program.

The Dead have been around so long, I seem to find a good song of theirs every 5 years. I showed someone my list and he said, "Wow, that's not what I expected from someone who only has about a dozen song of theirs"

There's some good songs I found in the Bill Walton documentary
