It’s not a popular year for them, but I’ve listened to every show of 83. There are so many gems in that year, actually the best “Loser” solo he’s ever played IMO. It’s just beyond me how great they were.

79-81 is a great time. Late 82 into 83 they start busting out In The Dark songs.

The best band to ever be. Nobody has reached their level in the music world.

I’m listening now. You’ll never go wrong with a good Eyes/Estimated and a Franklins Tower out of place just to make sure that last show you heard was slightly better.

I’m back in the groove of collecting Jerry pedals. I’ve got a sweet Tom Morello cry baby. I had the Q Tron to get that Fire on the Mountain sound and need to buy it again.

No one can convince me they are or were a better guitar player than Garcia.

There are other great guitar players that are different from Jerry but he is one of a kind and the best to do what he did in the way that he did it. I only have been an aspiring Deadhead since February and I mesmerized by the songs, style and play of this band

I don't know anyone who has the range that Jerry did. Most of the post-Jerry offshoots of the Dead had two guitarists for a reason. There just aren't any other guitarists who can handle folk, bluegrass, blues, rock, jazz, raga, and interstellar space jamming the way Jerry did, and moved from one to the next so effortlessly. His style is completely unique. He attacked the guitar like a banjo but played it like Coltrane's horn. He was truly an American original.

Jerry was a god, its what killed him too.

Ive been listening to the dead pretty much nonstop since the election. Its so much fun hearing the different eras and jamming styles and tempos. They were a truly amazing band.

Im quite thankful that i got to see Jerry 6 times live.

There's a reason why Steve Kimock was paired with Trey.

Would that be peak Trey from the 90's, junkie Trey from the 00's, or the current Trey who's lost his chops? Trey doesn't play raga and his style of jamming is completely different from Jerry's. Kimock's style (and tone) is a lot closer to Jerry's.

I'm pretty sure every KVHW show ever played is available at archive.org. Maybe trot over there and bone up. Or you could revisit the Phil and Phriends shows from 4/15-17/99. Those were amazing shows and the interplay between Trey and Kimock was outstanding. But 4/17 was the Kimock show and that's the night they played Dark Star. Opened with it, actually, then segued into the Kimock tune It's Up To You. They also did a Coltrane-style My Favorite Things which, apart from a killer solo by Page, was all led by Kimock. Compare that to the best Take The A Train that Phish ever played.

My first Phish show was 4/20/93. I've seen a bunch of really amazing Phish shows. Trey never turned out to be the guitarist I thought he would be and he's certainly no Jerry.

I am kind of just trolling, both are obviously incredible and have very different styles

Being remembered as a great American artist whose songs will be played by other musicians for decades to come.

I've attended dozens of Dead shows and listened to a hundred more (at least). I've never heard anything from Jerry that compared to the train wreck of Trey's performance at Coventry.

My pleasure. Listen to all three nights. They're all amazing shows. After an intro of Hello Old Friends by Phil and his sons, 4/15 opens with a Viola Lee Blues that jams out beyond belief. These were such highly anticipated shows, the first Dead-Phish collaboration with Kimock along to really cement it as a jam band supergroup. That first song when they took the stage...they just cut loose.

I tried so hard to get tickets to those shows but came up short. I still regret not just flying out anyway to see if I could score tickets there.

I’m currently making my way through fall 89- end of Brent era, again. Then I’m going to 80-83, then 73-74. Problem when I go 70s is the absence of Brent.
