Greatful dead and phish
« Reply #60 on: June 11, 2004, 10:09:03 PM »
I saw quite a few good Jerry Garcia band shows towards the end. I saw a very good show with Bruce Hornsby at Hampton, VA that still sits fresh in my mind. Garcia at his best was just an amazing live performer. Him and Hornsby always were a great combonation to me.
 
Im looking forward to picking up those new live albums, Im a huge JGB fan. Good to hear the first one is solid, have to get that soon.
 
Have any of you seen Bob Weir lately? I saw some picks of him on the Net and hes got the Jerry beard going now, I thought that was a bit strange.

Yeah, I saw Bob last year with the Dead, and will see him in another month or two. They just put out a new compilation (see dead.net) called Weir Here...a best of of sorts. The eternal teenager (no, not Dick Clark, LOL!) has finally aged. I guess after the big 6-0, Bob decided to look his age, LOL! He's had a beard before, but never all gray like this.  
 
BTW, jerrygarcia.com (i.e., Jerry Garcia Estate) is supposedly sitting on the mother lode archive of JGB tapes. It seems that they took a feed off of the board and recorded it at most shows just like Bear did for the Dead. The first one (as mentioned above) is a real jem. I was listening again last night (i.e., before I went to see Sack Blabbath, an Ozzy-Sabbath tribute Band, LOL It's all good! I'll be on their website shortly with an orange tie-die H-D shirt). Man, I hope they recorded that one I saw at the Capitol Theatre: Robert Hunter was amazing....it gave new insight to the world of words written by Hunter to hear him sing/play them unaccompanied on his acoustic. Jerry and John Kahn were on...I remember an inspired Dear Prudence Beatles cover that was incredible!
