A band that actually worked for a living. They usually toured at least seven months out of a given year. They only released records to make enough money to cover their excessent touring. They are from a bygone era when music was fun and represented freedom, and even though became multi-millionaires, they were never into it for the money or they would have released more polished, accessible albums.

a very popular hippie rock band that kicked ass from 65 to 95 and still kicks ass for any true fans...
music that can be listened to by anybody (not only stoners, psyconauts, and coke heads..) and be highly enjoyed.

Grateful Dead was "a band out on the highway"..
"they high stepped into town"..
"it was a rainbow full of sound"..
"they're a band beyond discription"......
it was "just a box of rain"..
they were "drivin that train, high on cocaine"..
then jerry garcia decided to "leave this brokedown palace"..
and the rest of the group said "fare you well"

Just drop about 200ug of acid and listen to "Terrepin Station" till you peak, then switch to "Eyes of the World." That's what the Grateful Dead is.
And it helps if you're laying down in the grass on the edge of a lake/ocean/large body of water watching the sunset. I would also highly recommend checking out the clouds and look out for the bats...they're everywhere.

"Acid is one hell of a drug" -Me telling Brett my feelings about that day^^^ summed up in the simplest words LSD allows for.
