The Big Money Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The thing about both bands is that their concerts are completely different. When you see rush they come out and kick your aass right freom the start. The dead on the other hand is more mellow, but you never get that type a feeling at a rush concert. No where other then a dead concert will you see people dancing like they do their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third hand grace Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 sorry but ... jerry could play the heck out of his guitar phil lesh is a very unique bassist - I dare you to truly listen! mickey hart is a heck of a drummer- thanks to all who have pointed out the mutual respect between him and Peart at any given time they could on spur of he moment play hundreds of songs. Can Rush do that? I don't know. Half of you know less than half of what you are talking about. and they are apples and oranges. The both are REAL musicians, lets celebrate THAT in this plastic phony "music as entertainment" instead of ART culture that we've allowed to take root. Its ok if you dont Ged them, you probably dont get avante or free jazz either. your loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theworkingman Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Nobody ever questioned the Dead's musicianship. They're obviously incredible musicians and each band has their advantages and like you said are both very different bands. Both very good in their own ways.

apetersvt Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 1. There is (was) nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. Having seen both bands multiple times, I have to give the edge to the hippies on this one. 2. I will give the edge to Rush as far as being better musicians. Jerry, Phil, and Mickey are pretty damn good. 3. Robert Hunter is a wonderful lyricist. John Barlow ain't so bad either. My preference would be for Hunter over Peart. 4. There are plenty of other jam-band concerts where people dance like Deadheads. 5. Not only could the Dead play over a hundred different songs over a tour, they could also play them differently. Why the hell does Rush have to play the same frickin' setlist every night??? I could only imagine a Rush tour where over the course of a five night run, you'd get to hear 90% of their catalogue including all of the epics and no song repeats. 6. Nobody is as cool as Pigpen.

RushFanForever Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am going to let this post slide since with the posting I made about Rush and the Grateful Dead that is quoted in Neil's book "Traveling Music" makes this legitimate. However the posting about KC and The Sunshine and Rush is ridiculous. There is no connection whatsoever with both bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I don't see the connection AT ALL between Rush and GD, but I have refrained from commenting much in this thread.

Mara Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I didn't even open the KC & The Sunshine Band thread. Promise. I have nothing against the Dead but I do find the music dull. (Sorry goober). I did have one "sort of" Dead experience in college when I accompanied a friend downtown so she could purchase and trade some bootlegs with the rich hippies in the Dead tent city. It wasn't a loss - I did come away with a cool tie-dye shirt. And everyone was quite nice. After a couple of hours in "Deadville", I will say this for Rush fans: we are, on the whole, well-acquainted with soap and the other tools of personal hygiene. I got the feeling that pulling out a bar of Zest at a Dead show would cause mass panic, possibly a stampede of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
