PiercingMetal Thoughts: In the past I’ve mentioned my generally “casual” appreciation of the music of the Grateful Dead and that’s not changed since the last time around. As I’ve said I learned to appreciate what they were all about over the years. Since I love the live concert scene, I am going to look into seeing one of the NYC shows to cross it off my bucket list. My friends who love them remain diehards and that is always awesome to find happening. I wonder what you ardent Grateful Dead fans think of this project and if you are making plans to come out and see them on one of these dates. You can let me know down in the comments section below. Until next time.
