Jimi Herring is a phenomal guitar player, though he was much better w/ Phil than the dead. He has been on Fire w/ Widespread Panic. I think I have seen him play about 40-50 times with various bands, and he is just great. That said, Jerry's guitar playing was so unique when he was healthy and on that it changed me in such wonderful ways. While no one will ever copy his playing, hearing that wonderful music that is the Grateful Dead through his old guitars is cool and should happen regularly.
8-22-93 Eugene, Oregon- Green mohawk and really weirded out. 14 years old.
6-20-94, 6-21-94 Deer Creek- I saw my first and only Morning Dew at the 20th. Defining moment when I got on the bus. Only time I got really close to the band was on the 21st. 4th row, Jerry side. 15 years old.
6-2-95 Deer Creek- My last Dead show. I got tear gas on my clothes and skin, at the time I thought I was in 1968, I loved it. I was also the coolest ???????????? I knew (remember I was a junior in high school). You know our love will Not Fade Away. 16 years old
