If you do not think john Mayer is a great fake jerry, you likely do not have satellite radio tuned to tonite’s broadcast from alpine valley.....
Seen a lot of fake Jerrys over the years. One of which claims to have invented the term.

I'm hearing a lot of naysayers on current members on whether or not their up to the task, for better or worse. Take it easy. I'm glad the soul isn't Dead too. I hope it never is. It's not the music or the members of the band, it's the soul of the experience and being with the family altogether; that's what makes it happening and important to all of us.
I'm headed down to Eugene with my two daughters (15 & 18; talked them into it- 1st show) for the 30th. Hoping that a special moment will present itself, whether it's in the parking lot or during the encore; just hope it happens.

Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if Trey Anastasio would have taken over for Jerry in 1995. In 1995 Trey was the most powerful rock guitarist on the planet. By 1999 he had soul dropping from his fingers

I've never understood The Dead. Either you like it or you don't. I don't. I think it's awful. I grew up in a musical family. I'm a musician. I worked in record stores around LA in my teens and early 20s. I've been to all kinds of concerts from jazz to punk. In the mid 1980s a girl friend took me to see The Dead at Laguna Seca. I had heard what great musicians they were (are) but seriously....it was hard to take. The tempo changed randomly, they were drifting in and out key (and interest) as they droned on and on. No one seemed to notice or care. The rest of it was pretty cool-Los Lobos rocked, lots of drugs and uninhibited hippy chicks. I went to another show in the East bay that was worse. The sound was horrible, why were so many people taping it and writing down the set list? It seems like if you were a fan you'd want to forget about it. I walked out.

The dead is an acquired taste for many fans. The first show I went to I only knew about 1/4 of the songs and I thought the jamming went on way too long especially drums and space. I wasn’t really impressed. But The more I learned over the decades the more I came to appreciate them. They played their songs differently every night. Some nights were better than others, that’s the nature of risk taking and improvisation, and there were times when Jerry was too wasted. But when they would come and play 3 nights in a row you could go to every night and it was always something new. They had hundreds of songs they actively played and you never knew what you’d hear. I came to learn and love dozens of great songs you’ll never hear on the radio. Most of the time I’d see them their sound was great, if you were out in the back in big venue with the house sound system it could be not good but up near the stage they took great care in having good sound quality.

That is a good example, a great set list of a second night show. Already a bunch of nights into a run, of a long tour. so it was by some accounts a "lesser show". A condition that could switch from 1st show in a city or the 2nd night or a run of less than stellar shows in a row.

There is no accounting for taste. As with beauty it helps if you find the package appealing, but love happens the Grateful gnow the dead happens too. If you only value a tertiary experience in your live music, you won't build the appreciation, of the accessibility in the same way. For many of us of a certain age, at the time & for decades there was no other band that did what the Dead did with the same results. Even by the fool fan clubs of the day, it was all new, derived from the "Beats" & the Jazz age, coffee houses & Folk-music. Then there was all the party stuff & the idea to caravan across country show to show, every show, eventually expanding across the globe; following a musical act!,

Happy Jerry day all!
Originalpmac I’m glad you enjoyed it! I was lucky when we went to Dead and Co New Years 2015. I hadn’t heard about Mayer playing with the dead and went last minute. Loved it! Been going to more nights on each tour every year. 2 in 2016, 3 in 2017. 6 in 2018 lol! Of course that’s nothing compared to some dead heads.

Speaking of the balance, ((()))&completely ignoring Florida, Boston, NNew Mexico,Arizona, Las Vegas, Kentucky . . . .)
in the weeks that follow,
the copy bands do well up & down the east coast.
There has been a new surge in faithfuls
willing to have fun, to the familiar tunes
Blues In E play'd loud, enough , , ,
So the better skilled bands need to stand out-
In a urge to strike a difference, Dark-Star Orchestra is re-playing whole shows.
I'd like to provide some recommendations. provide challenges

Still, I find, that some songs take me to a spot,

1st) https://youtu.be/dxMKWCUIk4E
https://youtu.be/W7RxsHp9v2o
From 9/2/80, (1st) the space that led to "Iko" into The "Dew"
(skip all the space till 7:37, the starting riffs of the Iko to come)
I don't think my tape from the "Fronton" was this clear? But I went thru 2 cassettes and missed it when the last went south.
I also had a Bob Marley tape Live from France Ive never heard agian, along with A Joini Mitchell from the same time
'74 Florida Jai-ALai Fronton Show ( with movie - Crisp-EEY)
