The Grateful Dead has got to be the most unpsychedelic in history, People who come to mind are Pink Floyd, ChocolateWatch Band, 13th Floor Elevators, & just about any band from these times.
Jerry Garica wasn't Caption Trips, he was a heroin addict, he doesn't come close to being a psychedelic caption of anything, Roky Erickson should be the Caption. |

What about The Strawberry Alarm Clock?
I never liked The Grateful Dead either, I don't consider them psychedelic. |

I think the only psychedelic thing The Monkees did was The Porpoise Song AKA The Theme Song From Head |

The Kinks never really went through a psychedelic phase. |

this thread led off with a post expressing an opinion about the Dead very obviously made by someone who never ever saw them and clearly hasn't heard much of them..... |

they certainly ingested some psychedelics....i read somewhere that was roger waters opinion also about the sf rock scene he didnt mention them specifically but said the bands were country sounding or something which they certainly were. the deads first release was certainly more traditional compared to syd's floyd. anthem of the sun the deads second album certainly is a psychedelic masterpiece more so than saucerful though perhaps not as out there as ummagumma. other great releases of the era besides satanic majesties, spirits first, soft machine II, after bathing at baxters..... |

I did shrooms at a Dead show in Ventura. I was flying high, absolutely flying high. So was damn near everyone. |

Ventura County Fairgrounds, they played three days in a row as I recall, had to be summer of '84 or '85. |

Who were the Grateful Dead and why did they keep following me around?
Every time I did 'shrooms they played Dark Star.
Bastards! 
BTW, two Ventura shows each in '84 and '85.

Haha! Far out, Shoe Scoots. Must have been summer '84 - upon further reflection, The Man was trying to get me in summer of '85, I didn't have a goddam dime.
Those were cool shows, and I'm no Dead fan. All out sex and drugs too, everywhere and eberyone all out. Debauch. Debauch was the word we used. |

The '92 Veneta Field Trip (there was no '93) was cancelled due to Jerry's illness (I had tix). I missed '82 but I was there in '72. The concert site is a field/lot owned by the Oregon Country Fair (Google it); I'm on the Board of Directors of OCF. |

This is a candidate for dumbest thread ever. The hate initially expressed for some very good bands has a whiff of trolldom. The original poster has obviously never heard "What's Become of the Baby?" which is the aural equivalent of nitrous oxide, or a dozen more tunes.
Besides, the most unpsychedelic band of all time is the Beach Boys. They tried, bless their hearts, but only made themselves to look like fools. |

the Beach Boys and the Dead actually jammed together on 4-27-71 for several songs....not too bad.... |

Ken Kesey, Hunter Thompson, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Robert Stone and thousands of other pioneering "psychonauts" beg to differ with the original post.
The Grateful Dead created musical journeys to trip along through the hours.
Aside from two of their lp's (Anthem and Aoxomoxoa) they ultimately avoided dated studio gags and let the guitars and drums be the guides through the dimensions.
Truly psychedelic.
