The music had to kill Jerry to live* Archived Message Posted by JeffFrank on May 16, 2025, 21:53:26, in reply to "Correct. Mayer is competent but the Dead died with Jerry*" Previous Message Previous Message The movement, feeling, and community continue through the music, regardless of who is playing it. Lots of awesome dead cover bands and cross-musicianal guest partnerships. Dead and Co just happens to be the most closely connected.

That’s already you twat* - HamptonSki May 16, 2025, 17:25:43 side jack: In Vegas and I bet on the beloved to win the national championship - Poldark May 16, 2025, 15:15:00 Did you get the Sox +11?* - Illiniphil May 16, 2025, 22:00:34 Deadhead sidejack - Sounder May 16, 2025, 14:51:41 No he's awesome - apusikam May 16, 2025, 16:39:19 This* - OWWDig May 16, 2025, 17:13:48 He isn't "the guy." I think of Dead and Co as a cover band. The Grateful Dead died with Jerry. - Desert May 16, 2025, 15:14:18 Correct. Mayer is competent but the Dead died with Jerry* - MtHoodIllini May 16, 2025, 19:35:13 Competent might be understating Mayer's talent juuuuuuuust a bit* - longsnapper May 17, 2025, 9:48:44 I will give him credit for ditching the mainstream pop stuff and expanding his catalog* - MtHoodIllini May 17, 2025, 20:48:46 The music had to kill Jerry to live* - JeffFrank May 16, 2025, 21:53:26 Not at all. He’s pretty universally loved by dead fans* - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 14:53:02 Did Jerry shred?* - Warrin'_Illini May 16, 2025, 14:56:46 Hot take…Jerry’s guitar tone was absolute trash. * - haighter May 16, 2025, 21:46:16 You are insane: - JeffFrank May 16, 2025, 21:48:27 Yup. Clean, thin and weak. Sounds like he plugged into a Roland Jazz Chorus, dimed the treble… - haighter May 16, 2025, 21:52:10 An envelope filter I believe* - MtHoodIllini May 17, 2025, 20:51:31 Tugs my heart strings* - JeffFrank May 16, 2025, 21:53:02 No, that's just your diet. * - haighter May 17, 2025, 9:32:59 Oh yeah* - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 15:00:05 I didn't realize. I don't know their music and just kind of imagined him as kindly old man. - Warrin'_Illini May 16, 2025, 15:03:51 I guess it does depend on your definition of shred. Jerry played lead and solo’d on most songs - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 15:10:08 7:30: - JeffFrank May 16, 2025, 21:52:36 He also had that unique voice that fit well on many of their songs* - MtHoodIllini May 16, 2025, 19:38:02 I just can't believe the same guy who sang Daughters - Sounder May 16, 2025, 14:54:09 Because he’s tapping the other side of his music brain for this project - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 14:58:31 I don’t really have any interest in non dead bands there - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 14:48:49 I wish David Gilmour had it in him* - JeffFrank May 16, 2025, 21:57:56 Stone is pretty anti-Sphere but we’ll see maybe one day* - CanHartlebHireSnider May 16, 2025, 14:43:05 He seems like the one guy in the band that would be.* - KingTalkyTiki May 16, 2025, 14:45:16 He’s not a fan of the visuals and thinks it takes away from the show - CanHartlebHireSnider May 16, 2025, 15:03:10 Hmmm. I feel like Eddie and Jeff would be very pro-visual. - KingTalkyTiki May 16, 2025, 15:25:40 Duplicate* - KingTalkyTiki May 16, 2025, 15:23:16   Searching
