Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 14, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I can come off an elitist but I wouldn't necessarily call everyone at soldier field a head. There are definitely different levels of commitment to the insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducats Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'd say Hendrix gets credit for making it a massive hit in the mainstream. Just like the dead made amazing "better" versions of other Dylan songs, Hendrix IMO made the best watchtower. If you asked 100 deadheads who wrote Masterpiece I bet half would say the dead. If u asked 100 rock fams who wrote watchtower I bet 90 would say Hendrix. 0-2 and a rock fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 14, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 In the days b4 Internet I heard watchtower all the time on the radio by Jimi. I'd have no way of knowing it was a Dylan song as there was no way to look it up. For years I also thought Masterpiece was a dead song as well.

Forum MVP Mango Posted February 14, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 In my opinion the only thing that defines being a 'head' is being at the show, present in the moment for the music. Everything else is just extra crap....crap that I know a lot about, but not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 14, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Many will be at soldier field to talk and drink and say they were there. Many people go to a show that aren't heads. Key thing you said was present. I like it when the music makes someone move. That's a good sign.

Advisory Board Herdygerdy Posted February 17, 2015 Advisory Board Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I don't think DSO ever did a post 93 show... but I could be wrong...I started seeing the Dead back in 93, not cause I didn't get into them by then, I was only 16 at the time... 1 show in 93, 2 shows in 94, and 2 in 95.. went to one of the Spectrum shows in 95, but couldn't score a ticket.. Now when I go back and listen to these shows, oh my... they are bad... lol, but at the time, being 16-18 with a head full of LSD, and just happy to be at the circus, I wouldn't trade it for the world...

Forum MVP Tea Posted February 17, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 DSO did 3/30/94 from the Spring run at GAMH in 2009. That's the latest I'm aware of and I know because the whole run was given to me as a gift by a kind forum member. 94-95 was a rough go but it didn't keep fans from having their fun. I had my fair share despite the growing sketch-factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted February 18, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 DSO did 3/30/94 from the Spring run at GAMH in 2009. Like I said on page 1, I thought that had happened... I want to say I saw DSO do 3/30/94. The final Dark Star. Looking at the list, there nothing other than Liberty that couldn't have been from a few years prior.
