Travis - I love classical but cannot stand opera. The joy of the Grateful Dead is the variety of the music. There was classical country, blue grass, rock-a-billy, music with a Bo-Didley beat, classical blues, cajun, jazz, polka (I swear, you should hear Mexicali Blues with a polka beat), ballads, dance music, space jam, folk songs, and always - One More Saturday Night at any Satuday show. It was an experience I enjoyed more than once - actually much more than once.
