The chemistry between Brent and Jerry is out of control. So fun to watch.

Brent was a good keyboardist but he really needed to STFU. I can't stand his voice and he likes to just sing nonsense filler for way too long. Pigpen pulled that shit off. Brent, not so much.

no way. brent was way better than pigpen. his voice was phenomenal was had the best voice in the band. he rarely didn't hit a note, whereas jerry and bobby would miss notes all the time while singing.

My suggestions: -Sunshine Daydream (great cheerful sumemrtime vibes) -Live Dead (obvious choice) -Fillmore West 1969 (so many good darkstars, the best jams imo) -One from the vault (I really love blues for allah and just the whole vibe here)
those tend to be my favorites for lsd purposes

Technically, Brent was a better musician than Pig in every way. But his voice just doesn't do it for me. That throaty '80s sound has always bothered me. I'd rather hear Jerry warble off-key.

i getchu. i used to be a metal head, so i really dig his voice. you have to admit though, he hits like every single fucking note.

Definitely. Like I said, he was technically awesome. But, to me, the Dead isn't about hitting every note.

i get you. as a musician i like hearing them the right notes and what not, at least vocally. that's why i never really liked donna in the band.

I wouldn't say she was that good in Jerry Band but she definitely chilled out more and was probably just more sober and on key than with the Dead. Maybe cause Jerry Band tended to be the afterparty where they were coming down.
I am a general hater though, so keep that in mind. My opinions don't tend to be the popular ones.

-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I used to do tech work for the Grateful dead. One time around 1991 I spent half the show on a sofa, on the left side of the stage with headphones and a box with a dial that let me listen to each band member's monitor mix. That same night I was underneath the stage during Space with a bunch of roadies smoking 2 joints, one going in each direction. Jerry was standing right above us!
