  • "When So Far was released in 1987, it gave fans a glimpse of the Dead playing to each other, not to an audience, and it was fascinating to see how closely they listened to one another. Recorded in an empty Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium and in a full Oakland Coliseum Arena, So Far was a hybrid concert experience, and remains one of the most intimate videotaped looks into the Grateful Dead creative process." -David Lemieux

      @fungusuas goodasufugu I agree, but releasing it could be tricky. You would need the band members and Jerry's family to agree on it.

      When Brent died, part of Jerry died. Neither him nor the dead were ever the same after Brent’s passing. Sure, they had their runs and moments but overall it never had that same cohesiveness they had with Brent.
