What a great job he did with the Dead's sound; so sorry to hear that.... 
Out of Their Wheelhouse Genius
Ministry - "Twitch"; going from synth-pop to industrial metal.... And then there is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who re-invent their sound with pretty much every album, and often within songs on the same album. And they do it all really wel... 
Commander Cody
Sorry to hear that. I was never a big fan of that genre, but I did get to see him and the Lost Planet Airmen at my college gym back around 1971.... 
High End Headphones And HP Amp.
I have Focal Utopia and ZMF VO's, along with Hifiman Susvara. I love the Utopia and ZMF (I use tube headphone amps - I don't care as much for SS headphone amps), but Susvara is almost in another league altogether.

Hearing Aids and Music

I got a DeGritter earlier this year and cleaned hundreds of records with it - works great, does what it's supposed to with no problems or issues whatsoever... 
Critical listening and altered states
I've always enjoyed music with good cannabis - used to do psychedelics and 'E' too a few decades ago. Now I hardly even drink anymore, but I always enjoy cannabis! Goes great with music, movies, telly, sports, etc etc.  
Your last concert was to see who and when?
4 nights of Dark Star Orchestra in Jamaica, January 2020....  
Critical listening and altered states
Cannabis and music have gone together for me since I was a teenager, and I just turned 70. That's for either listening at home or going to a gig.... Used to enjoy music with acid and 'shrooms, but it's been 3 or 4 decades since I indulged in those!
