[West Texas Chuck]

I was never all that much a Dead Head, but this song always meant something to me, I can't exactly put my finger on what. Its just so simple and captures something from those days so long ago.

Old dead (no pun intended) Jerry and his band.

[Vision]

I caught the Dead 7 times. It was a different time.

[plain talk]

I wasn’t a hippie but I was certainly around them back in the day. here’s a few

Canned Heat - forgotten blues band

Jefferson Airplane

IMO they never played this simple song again live as well as they did in the initial live studio recording

Janis Joplin live studio outtake which I find interesting

then there’s this ... Gurley’s guitar intro is absolutely frightening but defined the long forgotten san francisco psychedelic guitar sound. 1st generation fuzz box on 10. Not my thing but influential ... And of course Janis ...

Pedestrian choices are so depressing. What’s their purpose, to brag, that I too dig “Stairway to Heaven”? Enlighten us with something we haven’t heard instead. Here’s a remedy:
