I never really had exposure to the Dead before. I listened to the entire performance you linked to. Thanks for that. I will listen to some more perhaps with better sound quality. Feel free to post more links.
I can understand the appeal but it would seem to be one of those can't quite describe in a single common phrase. Their singing is not particularly good and their instrumentation didn't seem particularly special, not that most popular performers stand out in these ways either. However, it is the sort of music that you can have on as background music which is why I can see them being particularly popular in live concerts. Most musicians are lousy outside of the studio. For example, Katy Perry is expert at her vocal arrangements in her pop music but live she is terrible to the degree you'd think she doesn't care a whit about her performance. She is a true recording artist, not performing artist. Technology does wonders. So the Dead, not too loud, not too soft, not offensive, not kiddie oriented or candy granola. They are just about right there in the middle.
I took interest in the commenators' discussion during the concert, noting the part where they stated that the band was just beginning using a producer for their next album, as opposed to self producing, and couldn't help but wonder if they received criticism from some fans who may have thought that this move was "going commercial".
New Dawn I liked the Honda commercial a lot. Fun.
Also, the time lapse links were not so much about the time lapse format but rather about the subject, the night sky. It is of particular interest to me because here on the east coast of the US, there is not much night sky to enjoy. I'm a sci-fi junkie and the stars are wondrous to me, all nine of them that I can see here in Maryland.

Did you notice that the main part of #1 was taken in one shot? It takes some planning (and probably some retakes) to get that.
#2 and #3 ARE well edited but do not forget the planning behind too. (and the amount of traveling for #2)
Peace, I do like such types of time-lapse movies but I think I've seen too many of them now to appreciate them correctly.
SOoT, I can't imagine me seeing either Grateful Dead or a basket game. But I like the animated music.
If I continue my youtube quest into other areas I think this ad is well done:

And good to hear that you, Peace, may get to have some free time. Make good use of that time. Life is not work only.

I'm about to have a substantial work environment change, starting Monday, going from contractor status, working ridiculous hours, to actual employee status and I intend to use that change to retrieve some of my life hours to devote to things other than work work work, at least the paid work. It'd be nice to get back to working on this site, my novel and short stories, and maybe even reading a book for myself once in a while.

New Dawn, I'll agree with Peace's comment about crediting the editors of videos 2 & 3... really liked that travel video one... The first one just ain't my cup of tea at all, but #3 made me chuckle a bit...
I generally use YouTube for two things: old basketball games and music...
For instance, watching the Grateful Dead 4/27/77 right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Ft4O-qlSk
And watched 2003 Arizona/Gonzaga basketball game over the weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiw635EIuSc
I realize, both of those aren't exactly everybody's cup of tea, lol....
In an effort to post something that somebody else might like, this animated graphical score of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring had me completely mesmerized... And if you like this kind of thing, there is plenty more where this came from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02tkp6eeh40&index=40&list=LLBbjRTi7uGbNH6VDr9Gu9mQ
