Todd - that's awesome/hilarious!...no judgement - it's entirely conceivable to postulate that these icons we revere would potentially not reside nearly so close to the pantheon of coolness as they now do if it weren't for the agonizations over the hair..!...

Hence... "Hair" bands in the late 70s/early 80s...

Which has long been considered an insult...

@McGroovey it just seems aimless and the vocals... I mean, I'm sure people love this. I've heard plenty Dead that I've really dug, though. Actually, on the Avant Ghetto.

70s Dead is as abysmal as it gets, with very few exceptions. They only got worse from there. Now they are literally the Rock A Fire Explosion Band. Pigpen was the heart and soul of this band. When he died, they died.

@Elle Tor EXACTLY. They were such a high energy band at that time. Some sets rival the MC5. 4/22/69 at the Ark in Boston is a great example of this.

I saw Tom Constanten playing a solo improv set(or maybe in a duo with Oliver Lake?) at the Leonard St Knitting Factory, opening for someone else (don't remember who). I do remember being surprised that Tom C and Oliver weren't actually good, or at least they weren't that night.
