Jaimoe Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Dark Star: A masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Dark Star may be the uber-Dead tune but in all honesty, it's the self-contained masterpieces like Attics Of My Life, Brokedown Palace, To Lay Me Down, Cassidy, Dire Wolf, Bird Song, Comes A Time etc that really get to me. Those songs you can just pick up a guitar and play and sing - I found myself singing "Standing On The Moon" to myself the other night and gave myself the chills, not 'cos I was nailing it, but because I was so moved by the economy of language, the shifting chordal structure, the primacy of it: that's where the Dead will always live deep in my heart. With all the psychedelic jamming it's easy to forget just how rooted in tradition these songs were, and how timeless they will become. Having said that, gimme a 1972 Europe Dark Star anyday but let's not forget the INCREDIBLE body of original songs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 One thing - do any of you have an eternal song that goes through your head? I mean, there's "that song in my head this afternoon" or "this week" or whatever, but there's *one* song that always sneaks up on my mind, and it has pretty much I first heard it, oh, 14 years ago or so: Mr. Charlie "Chooba chooba (chooba chooba) Wooly Bully (wooly bully) Looking high (looking high) Looking low (looking low) Gonna scare you up and shoot ya 'Cause Mister Charlie told me so!" one of the coolest guitar riffs ever, and sweet sweet Pigpen. What a fu©king great tune. Listen to it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I liked Joan Osbourne's version of Mr. Charlie............. <muffled chuckle, followed by burst of uncontrollable laughter> Regardless, it's still a great freaking song. And 'Brown Eyed Women'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
