A friend of mine is a Deadhead. I once borrowed a load of Dead LPs to see what they sounded like. Didn't like anything about them apart from the LP sleeves.

Great band, not prog though. They were part of the psychedelic movement (which developed into prog), but they aren't prog.

I moved this to Suggest Bands/Artists, as the Dead are not yet in PA. The PP/PR lounge is for bands or artists that are already included in the site's database.

That's a great album. It's one of their most structured works and, actually, rather proggy.

If pushed I will say the Dead are not prog-related, but on a good night, there was nothing like them-- master musicians weaving their dreams on stage. Progressive music in a most intuitive, joyus and human way.
    


I just heard that album for the first time yesterday. There are definitely some moments that struck me as prog (Sage & Spirit). However, I don't think the bulk of their music fits the criteria.

Well actually the Agitation Free bootleg I am currently listening too seems pretty similar to the early Grateful Dead stuff like Dark Star, but no I would not say they have anything to do with prog.

No, they're not. I love Grateful Dead, but I don't see any connection with prog.

Do you think the Grateful Dead are Prog related?
