Grateful Dead?

   I know they probably dont get a lot of recognition around these parts but myself being a once antideadhead was completely turned around by the awesome sound of their music.  Their sheer stability to remain a band for that long and never changing their sound due to the times is quite rare.  For those are interested try:  Blues for Allah, Europle 1972, Anthem of the Sun.  Jerry Garcia (as well as the whole band) is/are quite amazing musicians.

	as much as I love Jefferson Airplane.. they should have never been included here. As I much as I hate saying this.. because good music does not equal prog... since JA is here... no reason in the world other than 'sterotypes' and labels.. why the Dead shouldn't. in fact neither should be here... but can't have one.. and not the other. In fact.. it can be argued that the Dead were in fact more progressive.. than JA. wrong place for this thread by the way....

	I think i remember seeing a thread a while ago about how the dead wasn't 'progressive', but after hearing a pretty decent trajectory of their music (about a 3 hour show from the years 68 - 91), some of their stuff is just full blown psychedelic jamming. I know they had their ups and downs, given that they toured for almost 30 years straight, but i just wanted to hear people's thoughts on this band. also, if some of the dead's jams are to shaky for you, their is a 'cover' band called dark star orchestra who cover entire concerts setlist and change their equipment depending on the era they are covering. They honestly take the deads music to an entire new technical level.
