I have no idea how many Dead concerts I saw in the 70s. A lot. I knew a bunch of Deadheads who didn’t think a girl had any right to be in the Dead. And they said they didn’t like her singing. But to me, she was always part of the band.
RIP.

She was at a disadvantage in the Dead's live performances, because the instruments were so loud, and she couldn't hear herself in the monitors a lot of the time, so she was screaming and wailing to maker herself heard. Not the most pleasant sound (although some listeners said the same about the band too).

Her studio work was much more listenable and even enjoyable. Unfortunately she was never quite able to overcome the perception that she "just tagged along" with Keith when he became the Dead's keyboardist.

She was a very capable singer, with the Dead and others, and that should be her legacy.

she was horrible., her husband could play... not sure why they allowed her on stage

Did you wave your hands in front of your face at the Dead concerts?

You know, to keep the music from getting in your eyes.
