90+ minutes of Grateful Dead Tuning

MJZ1974 Permalink
MJZ1974 I don't know who took the time to make this, but this is hilarious. 90+ minutes of every single tuning interlude for the entire year of 1977...strung together in sequential order! :)

It would be funny to play it for someone just to see how long it takes for them to snap!

(I can picture our buddy Scott right now: "Jesus Christ! Are they ever gonna play something!?!")

Nice. That's some serious deadhead inside baseball.

Anyone who would say that really has no idea what they're talking about. Even a single '77 show has a painful amount of tuning breaks, necessitating the frequent hitting of the "next track" button.
