this period--1972. I'm just now becoming totally fascinated by the GD, so I am still learning about them. I cannot believe it took me three decades to understand how magical this band could be. Just this morning I listened--really listened--to "Terrapin Station" on the SXM channel. It kind of reminded me of the first time I heard "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin. It hit me hard (in a good way). They mastered so many different types of sounds, from what sounds like Country (with an edge) to various traditional songs that tell stories. What a fascinating band. And I also really like the people who really like the Grateful Dead.
And I'm learning that so many key places and events surrounding the GD happened semi-close to where I grew up: the SF Bay Area. Some good things, and some bad things too. I was raised in Lafayette, which is a sad location if you really liked keyboardist Brent Mydland.
Their legacy is incredible and continues thanks to the new shows at the Sphere and the continuing passion and commitment of the fans..
P.S. I apologize to the Universe for every joke or crass, ignorant comment I ever made about the Grateful Dead.
