Still miss ya JG even after all these years


I know that there are still a few of you out there that would agree ....But I still miss this guy a whole bunch....ohhhh that guitar when he was on and I was there for a some of those shows whether he was with his own band or when he was playing with the Dead... some pure magical musical moments and memories.

I listened to Kula Shaker the other night and after the song "Grateful When You're Dead/Jerry Was There" ended I had to pop in "Working Mans Dead."
You could feel it.
absolutely. the thing that's funny is listening to GD you can see the logical breaks in JG's style. towards the end he was the grizzled but reluctant frontman, in stark contrast to the quasi-5-headed monster of the late 70s.

my fave years were the late 60s / early 70s: pigpen's band! and JG was relegated to a lead guitarist supporting the rest of the cast (which he said he greatly preferred, and it shows in the music: listen to el paso or lovelight from @ 70-71 and its obvious that JG was most at home in this era, though his talent (demonstrated when he was lead vocals + guitars) was undeniable.).

3 from the vault is prob my fave GD recording, along w veneta, OR, the 75 shows (blues from allah in SF); all the other 68-72 shows are tied for 2nd.
