New member from the Chicago area here! I have been listening to the Dead since the early 70s. My first exposure was Working Man's Dead, which I must admit didn't immediately click with me. The song that really opened my ears and mind was Jack Straw from Europe 72. I saw the Dead several times in the 70s, including a show at the International Amphitheater that featured the wall of sound - summer of 1974 I think.
I am a guitar player and have been studying Jerry's playing for many years. I particularly like his fills. Truly one of a kind!
