Steve Haynie Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 That wall of sound always looks cool to me. The Grateful Dead have a legacy that helped research into better sound systems. Alembic instruments have an origin within the Grateful Dead camp.
BoogieMKIIA Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 The band after LSD. They could “see” the music two or three stories high.
Menehune Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 I bought Blues for Allah. I enjoyed it. I didn't buy any other Dead albums.

Dutchman Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 What I'm wondering is how did he step on those pedals in a rack like that. You'd have to be a Kung fu master?? To do it so fast no one see's it... wizardry? Magic? Slight of foot??

RobB Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Who TF would want to own the gear this mangy, crackhead played through? Plus, this: This pic should be the disqualifier.
Steve Haynie Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 I don't get it either, but those guys had a heck of a following.

crunchee Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Makes me glad I already own a Fender Strat, as I don't/won't need another one, especially this one: PRS unveils the latest evolution of John Mayer’s signature guitar – the ‘Dead Spec’ Silver Sky, inspired by Jerry Garcia’s Alligator Stratocaster | Guitar World
Steve Haynie Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 As as I saw "Dead Spec" I immediately thought "Stratoblaster." Yep. It has one.
hamerhead Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Do any guitarists actually seek out his 'sound'? His cat's-tail-under-a-rocking-chair tone is only slightly less annoying than Buddy Guy's. Mind you, I don't think their playing isn't necessarily bad. But their tone is painful.

Steve Haynie Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Wellllll... When I was searching for JBL K120 speakers I ran across a lot of references to Jerry Garcia as if they were identified with him. The truth is everybody in the 70's who wanted JBL's was using K120's except Duane Allman and anyone who had a Fender amp with factory JBL's. But, wait! Someone posted pictures of his recreation of Jerry Garcia's rig. If someone was not after the sound, they were after the gear. In 1978 or so I bought the Grateful Dead album, Steal Your Face. It never sunk in with me. In the 80's I gave that cassette to a kid who was getting into the Grateful Dead. It is possible that my resentment toward the Grateful Dead is more about the way those people started messing up the audiences at Allman Brothers shows. I cannot say much about the fanaticism when I try to follow KISS or Alice Cooper as much as I do. There probably IS someone out there worshiping Yoko Ono and planning a touring tribute act. There are definitely people stupid enough to pay to see it.
Cboss Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 How would they mess with the audiences at Allman Brothers shows?
