Miss ya Jerry Garcia - it hasn't been the same

Agreed,

the GD were done by the time 1990 rolled around. They achieved mega- stardom during the 70's. Additionally, the band was hit-or-miss during the 1980's. Miss ya JG, we will always have the music!

Just listened to a standard pressing of Reckoning the other night. What a great record !

Where did the time go? I'm glad those days are over for me but I miss them, and I wish Jerry were still around. '87 or '88 was the last shows I attended.

My Jerry Garcia neck ties are still among my favorites.

When he was good, he was very good.

Here is one Dead fan that likes the music but never understood the cult like obsession with things "Grateful" . I remember going to a concert in DC in '77 (Lisner Auditorium,,I think) and hoping to hear classics like St. Stephen or Uncle John's Band and being very disappointed. Sir Jerry & crew completely ignored the crowd and played some self indulging stuff which nobody recognized and left newbies like myself scratching their heads (probably some of the hardcore fans too but they won't admit it). I remember turning to some Georgetown friends of a classmate for an explanation and all I got was "you don't understand the dead". No I don't and I guess I never will!
