Jugg, I agree with you about these songs, but I don't really listen to many dead studio albums because I prefer their live sound so much. Hell I used to hate Morning Dew on the albums because it sounded like some kumbaya shit, but once I heard the live jam of it, it became one of my favorites. New Speedway Boogie was never a song they jammed for more than a few minutes live if that, so that I don't mind, same for Black Muddy River, and Touch of Grey doesn't have to jam either, but Dark Star, Shakedown Street, Help on the Way and their more jammy tunes that will be covered should indubitably have jams behind them. And so should fucking Morning Dew.

I mean, that's fine if you don't listen to GD studio albums, because I don't really either, but to make your main criticism of this GD covers project that they aren't jamming out the studio tracks seems a little bit ridiculous when the GD didn't even do that.
I don't even know how you'd "jam" a studio track, since the whole point of a jam is some improvised, off-the-cuff shit performed live and in person.
I think the issue for me is, how are you going to pay homage to a band that basically created jam and not jam. Hopefully in the live performances they do. But when The National covered Peggy-O they didn't jam so I don't feel they will jam. Jam.

hey, the national, I realize you pulled together a an eclectic bunch of pretty disparate musicians to undertake the ambitious project of covering a bunch of songs that have evolved over the course of 50 years, with the expressed purpose of doing them in the unique style of musicians performing them, in a studio setting. but I mean, really, why didn't you do it that way I quacking wanted you to?

Basically this, I mean I do like it, I just wanted more

Eh, I don't even really care about that at this point. The Grateful Dead wrote (or covered, or appropriated) some pretty fantastic songs. It's not like one of these goofy jambands where there's zero point to the song besides the potential for improvisation - like, a four-minute version of "You Enjoy Myself" would be fucking bullshit. The actual GD spent their career exploring this music live, and since 1995 plenty of poorly-photocopied post-GD revival acts have tried to replicate the same thing, most often falling short and failing miserably. I'm very interested in hearing a diverse crew of musicians with no real connection to the "jam" (ugh) "scene" (ugh) showing their takes on the material, as I think it's really cool to see all these acts that clearly draw inspiration and influence from the GD without aping their sound in any way.
tldr; I don't give a shit if they "jam" these songs out in the fucking least.
I respect that dude. You're right the musicians that are covering it have no connection to the jam scene as you described. It's not bad at all. My expectations were not met is all, so i voiced my opinion about it.
I will say, and this will be the last thing I say about this, Dark Star is gonna sound really fucking weird not jammed, and I'm very curious as to how the Flaming Lips will do that one and definitely looking forward to hearing it.

I think you're jumping the gun here, bud. If anything The Flaming Lips version of Darkstar will be four and a half hours long and incredibly irritating.
