Phil Lesh and Friends
Ratdog
Crusader Rabbit
The other ones

I’m sure I missed one of the names that one or more members of the Dead have played under since 95 when Jerry died.

These guys have been doing this for the last 20 years.

Phil Lesh and friends sounds like the Allman Brothers meets the Dead with a side of Steely Dan.

And I like it.

Won’t see the shows, though, back in the day disliked the ‘scene’ but was a fan of the music.

And Mountain Girl was married to Garcia. As Kesey later said, Wolfe was a genius who took no notes; but through sheer power of observation, he captured a cult and an era unparalleled. Kandy-Colored Tangerine Flake Streamlined Baby did the same, as did the Right Stuff. Oh, and Radical Chic, and Brauhaus. What a national treasure he is.

We Japan ex-pats seem to think alike. I wonder why that is...?
I would have loved to see Jimi and Canned Heat at Woodstock, but I was only a fetus at that time.

Get your hands on Oysterhead. I don’t give a rats about Phish, but what Trey and Les and Stuart did with their Oysterhead experiment is excellent.

Like they say at the end of “The Wild Bunch,” “It ain’t like it used to be, but it’s better than nothing.”

One thing that made the Dead sorta unique was the range of influences and music they encompasses. Country, Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, even some Classical.

Man, I’m getting old. I grew up loving ELP, Yes, King Crimson and Zappa, then became a Dead fan when I was into my twenties. Never saw them live, but you can spend literally weeks watching concert footage now because they encouraged their fans to tape them.

What does a dead-head say when the pot runs out?

I admit I went through a phase for about a year where I primarily listened to phish but that was in the 1990s and I was in my late teens. lol I know a girl in her 30s that will argue until she’s blue in face that “phish is best ever” blah blah blah ...I like telling her that Mike Gordon is gay just to get her worked up.

Thousands of hours of live music. It’s impressive.

With more to “tapes” to come...

I’m a bigger fan of acoustic music in general so I am very fond of Grisman’s stuff with and without Jerry.

If you have not done so, check out Grisman’s Pizza Tapes. The one and only meeting of Jerry with bluegrass master Tony Rice.

Named the pizza tapes because it was orginally released by a thieving pizza delivery guy, stolen from Grisman when delivering a pizza.
