    I can’t listen to the GD without thinking of my brother.
    His last few years of life were hard.
    Nothing but good memories of kicking back with my only brother, smoking a little and listening to the GD.
    He was ALWAYS a good brother, never even raised his voice to me.
    I miss him so much but being able to listen to the music reminds me of the man he was.
    I’ll always listen and Tim, you will never be forgotten.

      I am at somewhat peace regarding my brother bc I know he’s truly at peace.
      I just miss him a lot and wish the cards were dealt differently.
      My brother died traumatically and three weeks later my husband was dead at age 30. I had another significant loss soon after and I really lost my way for quite awhile.
      Gosh, sorry for my damn life story! I never talk about all that so it kind of floods out…sorry.
      I’m not at all intuitive and I’ve had no experience with anything regarding the afterlife.
      I believe some people do though and I envy that.
      Thanks again and I’m truly sorry for the loss of your siblings.

That being said Brent and Jerry had a very special connection and really fed off of one another beautifully. Brent is my favorite keyboard player of the Dead he fit so perfectly in the band! That isn’t to say that I didn’t like all of the other players because I loved them all but to me Brent was heaven sent!

    I remember the huge crowds mooing as they entered and left the grounds, the people walking past you saying "doses" or "shrooms", the smells of patchouli oil and good indica and sativa, the sounds you didn't think possible the band belted out, the look up in the sky for the mothership, the nitrous tanks kicked under the bus in a second as the police walked by, the rain and mud, the search for the car that took an hour, the trip up in anticipation of what was to come and trip back thinking "that was the most unbelievable thing I ever saw, will I ever have another three days like this?" Been listening ever since....

So I have to ask, how was Jerry smacked out and sounding like he might croak on stage in a good part of the 80s better than the raw madness of the 60s the refined psychedelica of the early 70s the tight ripping solos of 76 77? 80 was an awesome year, late 89/90 was impressive, and sporadically they had a great show in those other years, but really dude?

    Brent was so perfect for the Dead. His playing, style and sweet voice helped to propel the band while he was with them. His loss was felt for years within the band. Jeff Chimenti has done an excellent job using Brent’s own Hammond B-3 and now has to be the longest tenured keyboard player, in any form, that the band has ever had. He seems to be the glue that really holds the band together, even more so than the original members especially in performance! His ear is exceptional! I can’t say enough

    What a tight version this is!

Dead songs and covers are just such classic American music. I consider them the greatest American band (period). They brought so many genres to their audience. I feel so fortunate to have access to so many of their performances now.

    1969 was when I spent a weekend with this band I was 19 yrs old! All of it was magical to me, but especially dancing to the entire weekend's concerts onstage at Bobby Weir's side. Spending nights with him and the things I learned that weekend have never been forgotten. I can't believe their following in the seventies, eighties, and p/o ninetie's preserved the " magic of the Grateful Dead", and have always been their biggest fan since '69. 'Love ya boys' (& girls) who love them like i always will!

    I haven't heard this version in a long time and it occurs to me this was one of the first Dead tapes I ever got when I first started listening to them as a teenager. Listening to this now, I am bowled over by the very busy cowbell and snare work that makes this version have that same fiery drumming sound of late '60s dead. I think in the '80s and '90s when they could occasionally conjure up that old sound they had when they were young and full of Fire, and then bring it into the more wise and musically sophisticated approach they had towards the end, that was when they just really sounded the best ever, and this version is definitely in that pocket

      @Jeff Rogers Not long winded at all - Id love to be able to take 1 Genie wish and get to see 1 peak Dead show of every era. But I know that the 80's were a good run - Brent and Jerry clicked, the JGB had some great shows, and the Garcia/Grisman stuff was really exceptional imo. Im so glad I saw a few of those shows too! After Brent it was weird at times. Between Vince's techno sounds and Jerry's declining interest and health, there were some bum performances in the later years. But I never really blamed Vince for being there. I definitely questioned the band for choosing him at times but still I kept coming, ya know! :)
