They sound like the Dead.

Yeah, a bit, although I think WP is a little edgier. A jam band though, absolutely.

Believe it or not I was never a big fan of the Dead. I have a few of their albums & don't turn them off if they come on the radio but otherwise meh, take 'em or leave 'em.

I'm a fan of some of their albums, some of their songs.

Workingman's Dead is a great album, ass is American Beauty.

The Reckoning Acoustic Live album is great.

Mars Hotel captures a great live Dead performance.

I like the Greatest Hits album.

And, I saw the Dead live twice, once in 1980 and once in 1984. They were fun, but certainly not the "mind-blowing" experience their fans made them out to be.

Frankly, I was as entertained by their fans as I was by the band.
