After hours:
style: these could play ANY style. from acid to r&b and most everthing in between.
But did they play it well? Come on , I hear the Dead cover the Rascals, Good Love and I laugh out loud. An avergage bar band plays better than the Dead.. I lived with Dheads for about 6 years, and we debated this for hours. I believe the Dead have no real musical value at all. I hear no passion in their music, just some guys playing long boring solos over a few strummed chords. Compare them to their contemporaries, the Doors?, Hendrix? Beatles? Stones? Sly and the Family Stone? Creedance? CSNY? I don't think they come close. If they stopped playing 30 years ago, their music would be played occasionally on the radio. Its the culture people liked, the Dead are just background music for the party.
