"This Brent Mydland song, debuted in 1988, was a show-stopper whenever it was played through the summer of 1990, and this was the final live version by the Grateful Dead. All 23 versions feature something very special." - David Lemieux

Nvr has been, nvr will be again. This lil time in history we were so fortunate to have taken part in. If U've nvr seen it, U definitely should see "And Miles to Go Before I Sleep: On Tour With the GratefulDead Summer '93" it really captures the essence of the experience. All footage of the lot & the DeadHeads, with perfect interviews of credible folks from the era (Leary, Wavy Gravy, Kesey, Rock Scully,...etc) I have it on a DVD

I told my son what Brent meant to us and how sad it was when he passed.

Phil’s bass tone is captured on this recording so well. It grabs my soul and doesn’t let go.

Grateful Dead’s live show sound design is unparalleled tbh

So. I didnt like greatful dead growing up. Never heard that much on them. But now in my 30s I am blown away at the most unique psychedelic soulful bluesy rock band ever. I love brent prob the most as vocals but jerry is a close second and Bob might be my third favorite but dude can still sing. The way they just played through everything. The crazy setlists because it was all organic. I get it now. Not only was it organic it was transforming constantly. That's what made the dead the dead. I think. I'm not an aficionado I prob would rank 500 millionth place in knowledge but I do kinda look like a younger Jerry I feel a spiritual thing with him and this group and I can't explain it more. I've never ever experienced anything like these guys. Nothing even compares. The soul here is insane .brent also made me cry during dear mr fantasy cause I just was overwhelmed with his passionate vocals. Someone stop me I'll go on all night. Just discovered them in a honest way about a month ago. My long strange trip has just begun ❤ miss you brent and Jerry

I became aware of Dead when album, Terrapin Station came out. Bad album, but started to listen to cassettes from live concerts. Brent came in, in 1979 - 1990 the longest tenured keyboard player! Loved his voice (unique) and fit in perfectly with Jerry, & Bobby. I grew up the entire 1980's Dead. I thought Brent added to the band. Him & Jerry had a great love for each other. When you see Jerry smiling, it's usually because him and Brent were in a groove! Too bad, drugs killed both of them. After Brent passed, you could just see Jerry's performances go down.

Brent had so much soul. He just pour himself into these songs. And I remember so many times him being so into it he would just about levitate himself by his hands so hard on the keys. I especially remember the night at Berkeley Community Theater 4/16/86 when he forgot to leave during drums (which meant no space- Mickey got pissed and went backstage and got Jerry) when he was doing Baby You Don't Know.

learning to like Brent. he gives the songs an 80s Bull Durham soundtrack feel that i can get nostalgic for

RIP Brent. You will always be an inspiration.
