I was asked to Listen to the Grateful Dead...

This is a reaction video from a chill guy who listens to the Grateful Dead for the first time (or one of the first times).

It seems like he is not quite sure what to make of this band initially, but he knows he likes it. He is very mildly critical of Garcia's singing voice in the beginning, but as the music moves along, he takes all of that back and says something like 'I take it back, Garcia can sing like Whitney Houston".

I find this video fun to watch...with his facial expressions and how he keeps mentioning how the music gives him chills.

This is a long watch, so you may or may not be into this type of thing.

Start at about 1:00. This recording was made in 1975, and has one of the greatest band introductions ever, as each member plays their instrument as they are each individually introduced by Bill Graham.
