A community for Deadheads on Lemmy.

Feel free to post music, discussion, memes, articles and anything else related to the Grateful Dead or the band members' side projects.

Only a couple quick rules, I think most should be obvious anyway:

  1. Stay on topic - keep posts Dead related
  2. Keep disagreements civil
  3. No NSFW (pornographic) content
  4. No racist, sexist, bigoted or violent content
  5. No politics (unless something is directly related to the band or its members) or other deliberately divisive topics
  6. Above all else, be kind, ain't no time to hate

Dead and Company, LA, maybe 2019 or so? The band was playing Dark Star and for some reason Jeff started jamming a keyboard part that sounded like the melody to Carol of the Bells. Think the “ding fries are done” part if you were on the internet that long ago. John lit up and started harmonizing with him, so both are just full on playing Christmas tunes in the middle of Dark Star. Bobby then realized what was happening, became visibly furious, and ran across the stage to shut down the jam in its tracks. I’ve had a lot of different emotions at Dead shows but this was the only time I ever laughed like that. I’ll see if I can pin down what show it was and find a video.

Any other fun stories like this?
