Love to you all from Patti Cornell keep the music alive for always and forever

I feel sad. James Casey is in a lot of the versions of my favorite tunes. Rest in peace brother

I attended the show on 13th, what a damn good group of musicians for these two shows !

I saw Jerry 16 times before he died ..Anyone who celebrates the Dead is alright ..I did security for the Dead back in the day ..80s..old man now of 61

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." Change my mind.

Holy smokes...that was freaking SICK!!!! This band needs to tour. Period, paragraph, end of story.

Always a wonderful adventure with the band

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.

@@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.

@@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.
