Sgt. Pepper Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) This s-hit is funny. The Dead album is a full concert from ā77 they never intended to release. Itās the Deadās Archivists, Daveās Pickās, an on going live concert series for well, Dead Heads, and is limited to 25k copies total. I have one. The Dead as a band ended the day Jerry died in ā95. Taylor was 6 years old. How many albums did she sell that day? None. So the āItā girl of right now outsold dinosaurs who are no longer together. The Dead have done more, seen more, smoked, and tripped more, and made 100 times more music than she has. Ā What drivel.

All I hear about her is she is so talented cause she writes her own lyrics. Um . . . So do lots of artist. Let me see if I can think of some. The Beatles, Zappa, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and the list could go on and on, need any more examples? Edited May 10 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iāve heard her so called music and donāt get it. Maybe years of Zappa tainted me. Itās just to fluffy and weak to enjoy. I could care less if she writes lyrics. Itās just Pop music. There are many like her. Itās just her that people go ga ga over. There are other female singers out there doing the same thing, but itās her that gets all the accolades.Ā Edited May 10 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) On a good nite GD were something special. The article explains it to a T. Iāve seen shows that were not good. Especially when Jerry was spiking his vein. That live movie I saw of a full show in theaters last summer was a poor show. It was at Soilder Feild. When I first stared seeing them they were playing Civic Center size places, then Touch Of Grey mania was in full swing. There was a time after Touch came out, Ā The Dead were the #1 touring band.
