    These arguments for and against are tiring. I love love love Jerry. There is no substitute. I love love love Trey. He is one of a kind.They are both guitar gods who could inspire tectonic shifts in the earth's crust. I've seen both bands more times than I can count and love both equally, but in different ways. It's like poo pooing Thai food because you love Japanese. Jerry would have appreciated Trey's playing had he ever went to a show. No one, ever, is going to play a GD song better than Jerry. And Jerry couldn't drop a Tweezer bomb quite like Trey. Peace, love, and Jam

      right on! its such a bs attitude about music.
      this ones a better drummer, that ones a better guitarist. People need to wake up and realize that music influences us all differently and what may resonate with some, may not resonate with others but its not right or wrong. and there is no music that you are garaunteed a ticket to heaven for listening to.
      all those guitar notes same the same from a mile away from a large festival on a mountain in Vermont. ribbons of sound weaving their way through the hills.

      +TheGoKitchen I've heard the banter and I'm a thinker. Reasons people talk/fight/debate aside, I think that people who are strongly for one band more than the other just have all they need so have not sought out more music. Then they have one favorite. (It's often the deadheads against phish though, rare to find a phishhead who doesn't also love the dead).
      Going with your strong point, I feel super lucky to have the wealth of the music of both bands, that is just so much high quality song and show right there. Have a happy day ♥

      Trey and Jerry are both the most creative guitarists to me, and I think while Trey might be the more technically skilled player, I think Jerry was able to make music that stands up with the likes of Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Miles Davis, and the kind of people who would be the Mount Rushmore of American music.

      Internal conflict with a "higher power", but also clever and subtle with relevant wisdom for the world. "I was born to be a bachelor", which is soon followed with the line about trying to catch her, which is likely atheism, accepting that there is no god, and the struggle for spirituality as an atheist
      Also, a lot of this is about self-identify and the struggle in finding it in a positive way

    I framed an unused ticket from the Deads final show. I have it next to my ticket from the Dalai Lhama.

      it seems like he may have had it on a tripod and just happened to have it aimed at trey. that way he could enjoy the music and film.

    I prefer Jerry but whatever. Better than listening to that Bieber fella. Good video by the way. Great quality!

    It would have been better if they practiced more. Trey sounded like he was piecing together riffs for most of the song instead of actually playing. I went to the Santa Clara shows and really enjoyed them, but that's about it. I hate to say it but Mayer actually lives it and you can hear it in how he plays.

      Daniel Keene- why do you "hate to say it"? Mayer is a fantasic guitarist. People focus on his personal life which has nothing to do with his skill on the fretboard. You were right about this performance. Not one of Trey's best.

      @@acm1350 There are a lot of people out there who dislike Mayer simply because of who he is. Personally, I find him to be very good in the band and brings some new life to the songs.
