Charlie can’t remember listening to Grateful Dead which is why David is excited to share there music with Charlie. Have you listened to the Grateful Dead? If so what do you think of there Music and why?
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California.[1][2] The band is known for its eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, rock and roll, gospel, reggae, world music, and psychedelia;[3][4] for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams that typically incorporated modal and tonalimprovisation;[5][6] and for its devoted fan base, known as “Deadheads“. “Their music”, writes Lenny Kaye, “touches on ground that most other groups don’t even know exists.”[7] These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead “the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world”.[8] The band was ranked 57th by Rolling Stone magazine in its “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue.[9] The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994[10] and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University‘s Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012.[11] Despite having only one top-40 single in their thirty year career, “Touch of Grey“, the Grateful Dead remained among the highest grossing American touring acts for multiple decades and gained a committed fanbase by word of mouth and the exchange of live recordings due to the band’s permissive stance on taping.
