Members Chriss Posted October 15, 2005 Members Share Posted October 15, 2005 Jerry Garcia: God of endless, goes nowhere, boring, out-of-tune wankery. The Emperor's new clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Filterbank Posted October 15, 2005 Members Share Posted October 15, 2005 Obviously Garcia's playing is a matter of taste. But out of tune? I've listened to probably hundreds of live Dead performances and I can't think of a single show that featured out of tune anything.In fact, I think Garcia was one of the most emotive, soulful guitarists. His leads, at their peak, were beyond melodic. I'm not trying to convert anyone since I know that won't work. I'm just saying that most preconceived notions of his playing are not correct. You could go to archive.org to listen to some free music. I recommend a 1972 show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PB Wilson Posted October 15, 2005 Members Share Posted October 15, 2005 Originally posted by rikshaw did they actually use all of those speakers? Yes they did. The Dead and Alembic came up with the idea of LOTS of wattage and LOTS of speakers for the clearest sound and massive amounts of headroom. It only lasted a short time since it took so long to set up and break down. Those roadies definitely earned their pay that tour! I've heard from a couple people who saw them with the wall of sound in the mid '70s and they said it sounded stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Microwave Walrus Posted October 15, 2005 Members Share Posted October 15, 2005 i love the dead i can't believe they don't get more recognition here... is it cause you guys don't like drugs? you don't have to do drugs to listen to the dead, imo. but, hey, to each his own.

Members lagunabeach Posted October 15, 2005 Members Share Posted October 15, 2005 I have had a many conversations with heads, musicians, even members of the dead (phil daddy and micky) about the REAL wall as most heads call it. It was at a point where they had 2 walls of sound and they would have a team go and set up one wall the night before a show while they played that night on the other and vice versa. up to 16 hours to assemble with as many as 20+ guys at some venues. The thing was just {censored}ing masive.. doing acid will lead to things like this. Originally posted by PB Wilson Yes they did.

Jerry knew what he was doing. +1He's technically a perfectly capable guitarist. Better than capable, actually. It's just a shame about what he wanted to play. I also have always hated his sound. It's some kind of adenoidal whine that stands my hair on end and makes me want to brush his teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I would think a pseudo-jazz player like yourself would have more admiration for a group of musicians who can actually play jazz to packed stadiums of fans. Miles could never pull that off.
