Ok. In the battle of music on this site, I’ll keep this one short, unlike others who present their case in multi-parts.
The Grateful Dead are one of this most original and creative bands in American history. Friggin geniuses who could play rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country, you name it.
And their concerts were stunning examples of improvisation. No band before, or since, could be on stage for 3 hours or more and just flat jam without an agenda.
RIP Jerry Garcia. Here’s to you, buddy.
