In the '90s, everyone at 'FMU hated, HATED the Dead. Except for Frank O'Toole. I neither love nor hate, but certain SELECTED GD (like this one) is terrific.

Tbh, given what much of the Dead's fanbase were like in the 90s, I understand why they had been tarnished with the aura of "uncoolness" among the hip, musical tastemakers of the day. Not that had a thing to do with the music/legacy, but you know...

Dead fans are known for their ability to make tons of money.
  10:13pm
watchpocket:

By "I neither love nor hate," I mean I don't love *everything* by them. I have friends who do. I love the gems like this one, and there are lots of them out there. Remember, there's probably more GD than anyone, thanks to their encouragement of the tapers, going back to the early 70s. Almost ALL the live shows over their entire career are available. That in itself is an amazing phenomenon.

gregorianpants:

One of the great things about modern Dead fans in the music scene vs the 90s scene, I've found is that you run into many whose spectrum of tastes run from indie, freak folk, avant garde, noise, etc. rather than strictly the current jam-scene Phish/Widespread/DMB etc. (not that there's anything wrong with those groups)

gregorianpants:

The GD's re-appraisal by the underground music scene in the 00s, thanks to zines like "Arthur Mag" and obvious influences in groups like AnCo really helped get a lot of hipster types on the bus and overlook/come to terms with some of the more 'hard to handle' aspects of the band and their fanbase... And of course, shows like the Avant Ghetto help situate them in a broader context too.

I gave up trying to defend The Grateful Dead in 1971 when I got into an argument in mt 10th grade English class with a guy who insisted Mark Farner was a better guitar player than Jerry Garcia. Every one in class, including the teacher was very amused as we yelled at each other. I won because I can yell louder than anyone. And of course, Jerry was better.
