![]() I personally thought the Steve Miller Band was hotter than the Dead this day and that does not say much because those guys are not road warriors. But I just really did not like where his keyboards took the Dead sound. I am sure Vince was a great person, if i would have met him I would have thanked him for the breakout Here Comes Sunshine in Arizona ,one of my favorite memories from touring. I guess many Heads have this experience but I was not prepared for how quickly I felt my time had passed me by. But for how bad it got, I'd give anything for him to be able to dust off those rusty strings just one more time. And while much of summer '95 was painful musically, it was more painful to watch Jerry deteriorate physically. Only reason I'm not giving this a lower rating is because of Morning Dew-a song that always bumps a show's rating by a star.īy the way, I kept going to shows almost to the bitter end with RFK '95 being my last two shows. There were a couple nice moments this night, but truth be told they were very few and very far between. ![]() bored and wondering what had become of that magical band I first saw in July '74. And as I listen to this one almost 19 years to the day later, I feel just like I did that night in NJ. Factor in Jerry's playing becoming inconsistent as well as how up front Vince was in the mix, and things just were not clicking. And didn't like the tunes he sang other than Samba in the Rain which was tolerable because it was danceable. Also, I didn't like Vince's sound - keys or vocals. And with all due respect to anyone that enjoys those tunes, they just don't hold a candle to Jerry's new tunes or the prior "catalog". Seemed like I was hearing Picasso Moon and/or Easy Answers and/or Long Way to go Home and/or Corrina at every show. Not so much for the band, but for me making the effort to drive more than 25 miles from my home in Haddam, CT to make it to a show.
