I’m 74 years old. I have loved this album for fifty years. When I listen to it, I can still smell jasmine incense, see lovely young women, with flowers in their unkempt hair, smelling of patchouli, smoking home-grown weed, drinking Boone’s Farm apple wine and dancing wildly in the moonlight. Get it while you can young ones. Don’t let a single day, or for that matter a single moment go to waste. Just a short time ago, I was where you are. It goes so quickly. I’m thankful for the lovely memories.
I'm 29 and I wish there was something left to get other than servitude of industry and hedonism. Gotta have a movement that succeeds at applying honest symbiotic values to lifestyles instead of fizzling out when the shadow of empire comes knocking. Nothing left where I am but waste sadly, although what counts as waste to me is different from most other people I guess.
I am happy to have seen Jerry, before he passed. My first date with my children's dad was at the Philadelphia Spectrum. 1986. And we went to more after our date, & married!
Traveling from Detroit to Seattle. Rolling into Missoula Montana. Great Band. 74. Got back to Detroit from Daytona. Saw them in Ann Arbor. Greatful dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Marshall Tucker and Bob Seger! 🌄🪴🌴👀
What, are you like 100 years old or something? [Just kidding!] Even though I was way too young to see these epic musicians perform in concert, I'm glad that I've learned about them and developed such an appreciation for their music. All young people should learn to listen to these awesome songs. The crapulous music that they're subjected to nowadays is killing their brain cells. Personally, I'd rather jam knitting needles into both of my ears than listen to that shit. Yikes. 💩💩
This was my first Grateful Dead album. It wound up being the one that I listened to the least, but it was a great introduction to songs that I would grow to love better in concert as time wore on.
This one definitely helped get me on the bus back high school. Was like nothing I’d ever heard and the tunes only got longer and stranger (in all the best ways) from there!
I remember when I got on the bus, literally. I was DJing on my college radio station in Richmond, VA. I was familiar with the Grateful Dead and aware of their reputation. Someone called up and requested the Dead (this was 1981 so that meant the Grateful Dead proper back then) and before I could say, “Sure, man” they added, “and if you do play it I’ll give you two tickets on a bus going to the Capitol Centre in Landover, Maryland this weekend for the Grateful Dead show. So that was my first show. I don’t specifically remember exactly stepping on the bus, but I do still remember stepping off it in Landover, MD. There was this dude dancing through the parking lot with a big long multicolored scarf trailing out behind him. My first instinct was to follow him. It was a good instinct.
I think I played a set of three songs but that was over 40 years ago. I have no idea which ones I played, and of course my choices would probably be different today. As for the show, I have listened to it on ReListen. But what was most memorable are stories better left offline.😂
I'm almost 68 & am still pissed I wasn't born like 7 yrs sooner!!! But still listening after 1st show in '70 at 13 yrs old. I was a late bloomer? Believe it or not I'm sitting in a drug rehab admissions office listening to
Same! I remember checking this album out at the public library in the small town I lived in it was the only Grateful Dead album they had and I was hooked
Oh my! Reminds me of the marathon we had when we first met! ‘Twas a great night… 7 hours with a guy who made me feel like he was my “spirit person “. Always will be grateful for that first night sharing our love of the Dead and for you reminding me how awesome Pearl Jam is. Also for the times that you told me that you had my back or “I got you”.
The memories always come flooding back!!! best time of my life... from 76-93. There is no way to count all the shows during those years; all of the tapes made in the bootleg section.
Have this album cover hanging on my wall signed by Bobby & Mikey Wish I could get all the autographs!! ⚡️💀🥀🎸👏 Days between 😔 RIP Captain Trips Miss ya Jer
It took me long to realize i was in love with the dead music before i realised i had been in love with it , for more tham 30 years; my self ive not look back since. IF YOU ARE NOT A DEADHEAD YOU ARE MISSING OUT
The Golden Road....love that tune..."Hey, Hey....hey oh by the way.... come and party every day!!!!"Your mothers down in Memphis won't be back till the Fall"...😎✌😜
Wake and bake album in circa-'83 .... If I was cranky or couldn't wake up even if you drove a hog through my house, somebody real or ghost or me would have to put on Golden road and everything would be totally freaking cool and I would hit the street after truckin.... This continued until I got out to BezerkelyCa3. Dead dead and more dead and if my head was about to explode from "a bit to much" some REALLY good acid, our go to song,... Actually , was Beatles ... Getting better all the time song. And if our instruments were at all recognizable, we play some yes until it turned back into a dark star. I hadn't thought about that for a long time now. Dead to the Core.
I love to remember how I was listening to their ,,Aoxomoxoa´´ album on my very first acid trip. It was the first time I listened to the,,Grateful Dead´´ as well. Couldn´t have chosen a better album. It was such a cool, strange and funny experience. My friend told me to only take a half but I just took the whole one!!😅 But even though it was strong for the first trip I wished it would have been much stronger. I love psychedeliks so much. Can´t get enough from them!!🤗🌱🍄🌄🐏
Remember EVery body getting thos album when it was released. By far not my first Dead album. Looking through record bins in 1972 and up, there were recordings of the Dead with PigPen here and there. TRUCKIN' !
This message is going out to KRML in California and all the Dead fans in Canada. We'd like to say One More Saturday Night and we've listened to this album from Brisbane Australia to Mae Salong in northern Thailand. If we have to say more than One More Saturday Night I think we've said too much. My lasagna will take on all comers, vegetarian or meat based all we want is a ride on your bus to the next gig.... I can't remember what happened between Ohio and Syracuse New York, but I don't think there was a show in Kingston Ontario.... Going down the road feelin good not bad.
My buddy unloaded this CD on me in, like, 99'? I was still really locked in on old punk rock -- Subhumans, Germs, early L.A. stuff -- but there were cracks in the foundation. To my horror, the Grateful Dead broke the dam wide open for me. Somehow, I liked the Dead -- and just came to love them more over the years. A couple years later, I saw a picture of Greg Ginn playing live with Black Flag in the late 70's, with shaggy hair and wearing a Stealie shirt. Maybe the most 'punk rock' thing I've seen to this day.
Skimmed over a few comments before leaving my "trace": The French Gunsmith, Stephen Fisch, 230968, Primitive In The Extreme, dil Spundity... Yes to all, folks! Also came across the album (and the band) when I was 15! 63 in a few days and I still find this collection epic. No idea how many times I had tried to decipher "Rosemary" (before giving up): "On the wall of the garden, a legend did say, no one may come here, since no one may stay."
Grateful Dead - Skeletons From The Closet - From Wikipedia - - - Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of Grateful Dead is the first compilation album from rock band the Grateful Dead. It was originally released in February 1974. As with other such packages, the album was a way for Warner Bros. Records to capitalize on the Dead's back catalog, after the band had left the label. It was followed three years later by a second compilation, What a Long Strange Trip It's Been. - - The album title is a pun, referring both to the idiom and to the fact that these are Grateful Dead tracks from Warner Bros.' "closet" (and skeletons being iconography associated with the band). The artwork for the front and back covers of the album was created by John Van Hamersveld. With no input from the band, it only vaguely represents the imagery associated with the Grateful Dead, and is not in keeping with the tone of previous releases. The front cover shows a somewhat demonic, red-toned man (with flames reflected in his sunglasses), Botticelli's Venus holding a rose (presumably a reference to American Beauty, the album most-heavily represented), and a smoking skeleton spindling a prescient gold record on its extended middle finger. The stem of the rose touches the record, as a stylus. The back cover depicts three men seated around a diner table playing cards, with a globe trophy in the center. A book of matches bears the ecology symbol. Outside in the background, a flying saucer (from The Day the Earth Stood Still) hovers over a futuristic Dymaxion car whose designer, Buckminster Fuller, sits in the driver's seat. The structure in the distance depicts the Johnson Wax Administration Building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The three men depict Marlon Brando from The Wild One, a portrayal of Jesus in academic dress, and Cesar Romero as The Cisco Kid. Skeletons from the Closet was certified as a Gold Album in 1980, thereafter becoming the best-selling release by the band. It remains so despite the abrupt mix of styles presented (due to the band's stylistic evolution while signed with Warner Bros.), and despite a paucity of live performances, for which the band was more highly regarded by fans and critics.

I just read about a dozen comments. My memory is a little fuzzy. I am guessing this awesome peace must have been released during the Tower Records heyday. Have you seen that movie?

Just got gifted an original pressed version of this signed by Jerry
Frame that one. 1. Nice. ✌
Very cool❤❤❤
You suck! So jelly!
Score!!!
Yeah... Rite!
71yrs old and this album still sounds absolutely fresh.

I got this album when I was 15… Still rocks today, deadhead never dies
Just keep Rolling On 🌄🌴
RIP Phil😢😢😢
What a long, strange trip it's been
Keep on truckin'😎
This CD is still my best garage sale find to this day
I heard little Johns band in Kent Island once eating Blue Crabs, drinking garage watered down Miller Lite, damn 98 was Kool. Right?
You were meant to have it, and that is a comforting thought.
The vinyl.
The dead are such a great band their music gives me hope for another day…
you and me im 76 lived in SF bayarea all my life seen them many times so much fun back then after the NAM. peace bro.
@@billgonzales8978 thanx so much!
Ya right!!?? hearing this is so amazing, what a vibe!!!
This and American Beauty were my 1st Dead albums. (Cassettes)
Same!!! ♥️💀💙🌹🎩
Bear's Choice and Working Man's Dead were mine. But it's all good
@@gregorylesley9885 Working Man's was my 3rd. I got there pretty quickly.
me too!
This album was my first exposure to Grateful Dead. Fell in love with the quality of the music. Haven't looked back since.
Great LP, I remember back in the 70’s when.....oops, just crapped myself, I’ll be back in a bit!
Fantastic album! Everybody's dancing in a ring around the sun!
Everyday!!

Just out of curiosity, what's are a couple of your favorite GD albums?
This cassette started it all for me in 92/93
I got the cassette in 97. I would play it over and over at the sandwich shop I worked at. It definitely annoyed the metal heads😂
Same years bro! Still doin it!
I used to think every song was great now they are each precious gems that never lose their sparkle
saw em live

My buddy unloaded this CD on me in, like, 99'? I was still really locked in on old punk rock -- Subhumans, Germs, early L.A. stuff -- but there were cracks in the foundation. To my horror, the Grateful Dead broke the dam wide open for me. Somehow, I liked the Dead -- and just came to love them more over the years.
A couple years later, I saw a picture of Greg Ginn playing live with Black Flag in the late 70's, with shaggy hair and wearing a Stealie shirt. Maybe the most 'punk rock' thing I've seen to this day.

Find a station that plays the Dead and break the knob off

This album abosulety destroyed classic rock radio stations for me. First "real" music I ever heard
🎶🌹☮️😌
what was walton's favorite song? i.e. what song was in his his head when he was kicking ass on the hardwood?
Fire on the Mountain.
“He knew the music inside-out,” said Hart, who remembered that Walton's favorite Dead song was “Fire on the Mountain.” Walton also seemed to perceive other pursuits in terms of the Dead - above all, playing basketball.
