Biography

The Grateful Dead were a US psychedelic folk rock band led by Jerry Garcia. They were one of the cornerstones of 60’s counterculture.

Their career commenced in the spiritual home of the hippy, Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. They evolved from a band called The Warlocks, one of the bands to regularly play at Ken Kesey’s acid tests, where people would gather to tune in, turn on and drop out.

5.0 out of 5 stars You know you're going to buy it, so just do it., December 9, 2000
This review is from: So Many Roads: 1965-1995 (Audio CD)
The first CD and the fifth CD are interesting more for historical reasons than for the actual quality of the music. The second, third, and fourth CD are solid music all the way through. The Eyes of the World will give you goose-bumps. Anyway, if you're a serious dead-head you're probably going to end up buying this at some point, so it might as well be now. Also cool: Multiple songs that transition into one another are organized on single tracks here, so you can put in all five discs, hit shuffle, and have no fear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic History, November 22, 1999
By 
This review is from: So Many Roads: 1965-1995 (Audio CD)
Is this the best yet from the Grateful Dead? Tough to say, because "So Many Roads" is a slice of Grateful Dead music from over three decades. Who knows what else they've got tucked away? What "So Many Roads" offers is a listen to the band from their pre-Warlocks days throuogh Jery's untimely death in 1995. For the uninitiated, this album is a piece of American music history, expressed only as the GD can do it. For devotees, it is an extensive collection of those special moments--soaring, glittering highs, crashing lows, unexpected twists of melodic beauty--that kept us going to shows: the band's raison d'etre. Unlike other boxed sets touting "Three previously unreleased songs!" this one is almost entirely unreleased material, and it proves that 35 years later, they can still surprise even the most devoted Deadheads. If you're going to own only one GD album, this is the one. (This, the 15-to-date full concerts in the Dick's Pick's series, and a handful more. And some live shows on tape. And a video or two. I swear, I don't work for them. . . .) Enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BUT TOO MUCH MATERIAL FROM LAST 5 YEARS!, November 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: So Many Roads: 1965-1995 (Audio CD)
I am a big fan of The Grateful Dead, but I don't know if I can be classified as a "Deadhead" cause I only saw the band four times and really only love a handful of their songs, compared to true "deadheads" who have travelled the country seeing as many shows as possible and love almost every Grateful Dead song recorded or played live. I saw the band in the eighties and enjoyed the concerts very much, but even then I knew that I was not seeing the group in their prime and that there must be better versions of the songs I was hearing recorded on bootleg tapes somewhere. Now, with the excellent recordings available (like the wonderful "Dick's Picks" series) I know that there were many "peaks" during the Grateful Dead's thirty year history, and the last five years was not that great a time as a whole despite a few fine moments. I think this series would be much better if the songs chosen were spread out more evenly, instead of TWO CDs focusing on the last five years (so what if there are some unreleased titles, they are not that good!) when ONLY ONE SONG IS LISTED FOR 1973 ("Watkins Glen Soundcheck- 7/27/73) AND NOTHING FROM 1977! The two years of 1973 and 1977 were great years for the band and produced some of the best concerts preserved on tape! Anyway, I still enjoyed this collection, but felt like it was an uneven distribution of material, which is a shame because it gives an unclear picture of how the band sounded year after year and misses some great moments.
