Live in Twangville: Grateful Dead Give-Away
In my mind, there is no denying that The Grateful Dead is a classic, iconic American band. In my opinion, the Dead represented a true alternative to mainstream rock of the 60’s and 70’s and were in the forefront of blending rock, country, funk and even jazz into a concoction that few people knew what to really call or describe it as. It is with great anticipation that the recordings of their work in front of the Egyptian Pyramids are being released soon as a 3 disc DVD/CD combo entitled Grateful Dead: Rocking the Cradle – Egypt 1978 from Rhino Records.
WE HAVE A WINNER!! Congrats to Shawn! Thanks for playing!

Hey cool! That looks like a classic. Of course, any Dead record is a classic. Good luck, twangers.

I love brown Eyed Woman. Love the lyrics and the tune. I put one of my old tapes in the last remaining cassette player and just listen to Brown-eyed women and red grenadine over and over.

China Doll. Particularly the version on Reckoning – the way the backing vocals kick in with the line,”and just a little nervous from the fall” gives me chills every time

I always loved Casey Jones. When I was a child in Minnesota Casey Jones was the childrens show host with Roundhouse Rodney. I always remember my childhood when I hear that song.

Years ago the Dead inspired me to check out alot of different roots and country-type music that I might not have heard otherwise. Any time I would hear one of their covers, I always wanted to find the original. So my favorite cover that the Dead used to do is probably the Cash classic Big River. As far as original tunes…I’ve always liked Jack Straw quite a bit…
