is american beauty....

[meggo]

one of the best albums ever? goddamn. haven't thrown this one on in awhile.... sooo nice.

[Blurry]

That's funny Meggo, I hadn't listened to it in a while either but just put it in the player last night

Til the Morning Comes is one of my favs!

[boogieknight]

There is so much emotion in that album. It really is a beauty.

[purple foot]

yes. best studio dead album.

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

ah---Ripple.

[guigsy]

mine skips like a motherfucker!!! :: :: ::

[bouche]

It sure is. Do yourself a favour and pick up the DVD-Audio version of it. Wow.... 5.1 Brokedown Palace

[meggo]

thanks for the suggestion.... mine skips like a motherfucker too!

[weezy]

American Beauty and Workingman's Dead on random - even better.

try rubbing-in some toothpaste on your scratched CD's and then wiping it off. That will fix most of the skipping. Also, clean your CD laser thingamajig with some rubbing alcohol and you'll be good to go.

[meggo]

toothpaste, eh? worth a shot i suppose!

[Velvet]

"try rubbing-in some toothpaste on your scratched CD's and then wiping it off"

Urban legend creators, unite!

[meggo]

yeah it's still skipping like a motherfucker

guess it's time to go cd shopping!

[elemeno]

it only works with crest tooth paste. none of that minty fresh shit or tarter control stuff.

isnt it time for you to get to the bar meggoooooz?

[meggo]

aw it's a little early yet... what are you doing anyway??

[elemeno]

just sitting around thinking about you

[Esau]

I'd also reccomend watching "Athem to Beauty".....on DVD or VHS (I have the VHS)

I love American Beauty, but my favorite Grateful Dead studio album has to be the 1967 album Grateful Dead:

1.The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) (McGannahan Skjellyfetti)

2.Beat It On Down The Line (Jesse Fuller)

3.Good Morning, Little School Girl (H.G. Demarais)

4.Cold Rain And Snow (McGannahan Skjellyfetti)

5.Sittin' On Top Of The World (Jacobs/Carter)

6.Cream Puff War (Jerry Garcia)

7.Morning Dew (Dobson/Rose)

8.New, New Minglewood Blues (McGannahan Skjellyfetti)

9.Viola Lee Blues (Noah Lewis)

Jerry sounds so alive on this album. The Golden Road & Morning Dew make this album a must own alone, never mind the nice mix of tracks that accompany them. Great cover art as well:

A great album...

[shitidiot]

my personal favorit,.........well right now.

[goldengrooves]

this thread just made me put it on......thanx!! ::

For my money, Workingman's Dead is superior to American Beauty, but it's kind of like judging which glorious sunset is the best.....
