guys the point of this poll is so the CCR fans can get a W on the board. please do not vote in this poll unless you are voting for CCR I will be sad if they don't win, everybody deserves a win now & then.

dick's picks 28. it's a winner.
― thomp, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 21:14 (twelve years ago) link
Dick's Picks 3 + 10 are pretty good, although I'm not really well-versed on the late-70s. Dick's Picks 22 is just MASSIVE and really shouldn't be passed up on.
― spanky hotel frogstrot (how's life), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, 22 is the Dead record I'd play for Velvets fans who think they hate the Dead. This thing could go toe-to-toe with The Quine Tapes (and I think it even has more feedback).
― Choogle Image Search (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
22 is the great loud 60s one right? maybe the earliest live thing out?
― thomp, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
this isn't that loud...it borders on actual rocking
it's like the Grateful Dead work up a little half-chub and Deadhead act like it's a raging boner

i feel like i should change my display name to some laboured wordplay on your display name and the song 'mississippi half-step uptown toodeloo' rather than engaging with your point

The former, yes. The latter, I dunno...but everything pre-'68 I've heard has been decidedly more folkie than skronky. This is skronky.

Having a hard time deciding between the Dead and CCR. CCR have more classic songs, though lately I've been listening more to the Dead (mainly WD & AB). The Dead's sound on those albums seems a bit richer & more rewarding of late, though of course they're not as tight & effective as CCR. Very tough one.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
nate you gotta vote CCR. if the CCR dudes don't win it's sad times. plus I don't know if this helps but in case you didn't read through the thread CCR is like a giant boner. everybody loves a big boner so vote CCR.

haha i voted for the band!
i'm boner agnostic!
my point about boners is that the dead are only ever like "crazy" or "rocking" FOR THE DEAD.....the Dead are the Lawrence, Kansas of rock bands...like everyone in Lawrence is always like "Oh we have a really great local music scene.....for Kansas"...."Oh we have a lot of arts and culture....(for Kansas)"....."We're a really progressive city....(for Kansas)"
― Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
haha i was kind of starting to like the dead more too, like i dig american beauty and i was listening to the renaissance fairgrounds gig sometimes but now i'm back in h8r mode

haha, M@tt, have you ever actually been to Lawrence? It's really pretty nice, and much of the rest of Kansas is truly cornfields and Obama-is-a-Marxist billboards.
― Ermahgerd Thomas (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I actually hear you & you're right - the Dead in rocking mode isn't anybody else's proper rocking mode, it's not an adrenalized thing. the only stuff that's really burn-it-down like CCR live is, like, the big snare-crack in St Stephen when they're doing it live in the late 60s. but it's like...its own vibe, which actually was why I hated the Dead back when ('you like this?') and is why once I came around it seemed so special

Love Fogerty's look, flannel shirt & leather pants. Authentic working man on top, cock rocker on the bottom
― chr1sb3singer, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
is it true Fogerty only used solid state amps?
Guys, CCR, great as they were, should really come in dead last here. They only did one thing, and they only did it well, like, a third of the time. The rest of the time was spent playing shitty covers.
Dead >>> Band >>>>>> CCR
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Robbie Krieger used SS amps too.
― wk, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
if this is true some of you guys need to hang your heads in shame, what the hell. I mean yes a lot of the metal bands I love use all solid state, but that's because they are all deaf anyway.
― steven fucking tyler (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
internet says:After some research, I found out that John Fogerty played a Rickenbacker 325 into a solid state Kustom K200-4
kustoms are p cool
― Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
I think Krieger used Fender tube amps.
