    This song has the greatest pocket ever, and this band was all in it. The guitars were restrained, tasteful and all but perfect, and Bill K has always been a tasteful "pocket drummer."

    I enjoy watching this ensemble a lot. Better to my ear than either Bobby or Phil's lineup. I was there when the Grateful Dead played Red Rocks the first time and the second time too, when Billy had the broken hand. Something magic about the place. This music is nice and feels pretty fresh.

      @christopherorman5769 Před 3 lety +2

      @@deadspread7717 Not doubting that he used to play metal. But playing this music -- which is why Hamilton's playing bugs me at times -- isn't about shredding but literally holding a conversation. Strings' phrasing during the Hawaii shows wasn't there. He had some cool Caldwell moments, but he was missing it a bit. I noticed he lacked a bit when he played with Marcus King a while back on electric too. This is much more relaxed and quite a bit better as far as his phrasings.

    • @deadspread7717
      @deadspread7717 Před 3 lety +1

      Agreed.
      I also think Carlos was throwing him off at Bill's birthday... Love Santana and he did a lot for Jerry before/after the coma, but I never thought he should ever play dead music...throws off the groove at times.
      Not a Hamilton fan, but he definitely has his moments.

    Instrumentals fantastic! But, do the vocals sound a little flat to anyone but me.

      No one's better than anyone, they're all just different flavors! IMO D&C's musicianship and experience are way tighter!

      maybe not "better" but certainly more enjoyable. I was here last night and walked away thinking I haven't had this much fun at a dead and co show and I love that band and have enjoyed every one of their shows. The energy last night was otherworldly in comparison

      @@trevorkinzie4267 good for YOU, glad you had a good time. I’m happy with all of it and thankful the music is going to live on. Comparisons of whose “better” is just not in the spirit of the Dead and everything they brought to the world to this old Head. My first show as at age 13 in 1969 at Fillmore East. It seems like all the new “heads” from around the early 90’s on are in to rating the various iterations of the Dead. Waste of time, waste of energy.

    I guess they just have the lyrics to every song? Because come on...you must know the lyrics to Begonias.
