He says he’s busy but he’s actually turning into a Deadhead and will start following the band cross country once he gets a VW van. 

 

Jerry still playing???

Buffalo PBS station is showing the 1989 Alpine  Valley show right now

 

 

The shows from 1989 are my favorite. Alpine Valley, Philly and of course Buffalo were just superb. Jerry was (or at least strongly appeared to be) sober and Brent was at his best. You could tell by the look on their faces that they knew they had it together.

The Brent years are my least delved into

 

I think I'll start today, seems about right for my early 50s ease into middle age...

 

Dicks Picks 5, spin away..

 

a benefit for Wavy Gravy and Ram Dass, !@#$ where did the time go and we get leaders like this in the present age....  :(

Philly was a great show and Blow Away was probably the best representation of what Brent brought to the band.

I don't know man. Iko Iko was a Brent masterpiece down to the very last 2 notes.

 

Jerry would look at him and smile that whole tour. I remember Jerry telling a reporter that Brent was settled in and he wanted him to take a more active role.

Like I said, summer/89 was as good as it gets. Enjoy! :)

Brent had one of the best gravelly, blues voices I've ever heard.  When he was "on" and harmonized with Jerry or Bob, it was magic.

That said, I wasn't a fan of some of his keyboard work, especially when he provided "fill in" parts.

 

That said, boy do I miss these guys.
