I know TN Jed, Mountain Girl, Earlnemo, and Kimmi went. They may still be recovering.

Found this when looking at your YouTube links. pretty crazy.
The show seemed a little flat from the videos, but it's hard to capture a live dead show.
Hampton 82(3?)

hell, there is no way in hell to bottle a live dead show.
(Dicks Picks came c l o s e )
BUT STILL...

There's been several incarnations since GD, just always called something else. The Dead is everyone BUT JG with Warren Haynes in his place. Haynes is getting his Garcia licks down, but I don't like the slow pace. Hell, I have a hard time listening to anything after Pigpen died, but that's just me.
I'm shocked no summer tour yet. I do have somewhat of an issue paying to go see them since Weir turned into such a douche.
Ha! Bobs kinda always been "then tender douche" .. more than a few great tunes (Looks Like Rain comes to mind), i'll give him that but a real persnickety fucker , human-wise, i've heard.
and anyone can grab those licks (JGs) .. but they'll never grab that vibe Franklin's Tower had in the pre-suck 70's .. Crazy Fingers, China Doll, Terrapin ...etc) have to have that group (as in the group that thunk it all up) had , coming together as they did.
mean no disrespect at all .. opinions are like assholes (like me lol) just my fading memories
