Billy & The Kids w Bob Weir 9/12/2015 Arrington, VA 

+skid lee Yep!!

Bobby is like Joe Biden at this point. Doesn’t know where he is or what singing sounds like

You'd like JRAD too

+Tony Danis I couldn't agree more. Billy is a fantastic drummer when he's alone. I always thought the Dead's best years were the single drummer years in the early 70's. Just my opinion though.

A lot of people think that way, pac. We are going through a period where the Dead's contribution to music and history is being re-evaluated as never before, and Billy's contribution and drum mastery is finally being recognized as never before. Frankly, Micky was a fine sonic experimentalist but something of a plodder as a conventional drummer. His contribution to the "Drums" segment was considerable, however. I could see, in a better version of events, him not playing regular drums but instead allowed to orchestrate a phenomenal 20 minutes Drums/Space segment each show. He could concentrate his talents on providing a spectacular extravanganza, and the rest of the show Billy could singly propel the Dead through the song list with his really slick, sophisticated drummming.

He's a monster!

I actually met Reed in Philly at a sold out Mann center in which he went to will call made a call then moseyed on in and I actually went under the fence which was Free99.... And a hella great show of interested it's same year but in Philly not sat Lockn'..... Which I might day will be hard to top my last one with A short conversation with Trixie Garcia, going with a most amazing beautiful momma aka Jenny A... Plus it was my last shows with Phil Kutno whom died rip due to C and with Phil opening for Phish and I sold both pieces I painted during both sets of Phish and Phil's one long show it was really awesome because I didn't have any more Canvas so Phil K. Gave me poster board which igessoed and then painted selling it for 300 and Phil for 250 best two painting gone ever and also my last show I'm itching to get back on the road again natural born living on the road again

Bet his wife doesn't like that!

The reason why they killed it, is because all of Billys projects are the shit. Always have been

+Jason E You're so right. Read all the Dead bios and they talk about how he was the most laid-back and chilled. But, in reality, he was the financial expert in the band (was actually CEO of the business for several years), a truly great and extremely sophisticated drummer, and a musician with a great talent for assembling bands. Really a supercompetent individual.

annoying sax? you mean the best part of old ratdog.............like da fuuuuuuuuuuuq you on!

id cut off a finger to have the 2002-2007 dog line up back.....best tours my life

@@jerbear-mane8362 I saw my share of those shows. Allways good

Alex Borsody i trust it

that was the Locknstep Allstars, not Billy and The Kids

+mason giem I believe it is Reed Mathis

+Bruce Johnson yes reed mathis. he is phenomenal and a really awesome person. met him at peach music festival he was walking around the morning of the billy and the kids set talking to people

Record it off this feed.

Reed Mathis, a bass master, cool to see him playing this material IMO

Chill out...

excuse me? it sounds terrible and not bobs vault, expressing that doesn't mean i need to chill out...

though I don't agree with you, you DO get to voice your opinion always.

His voice is too loud in the mix. The harmony shouldn't be louder than the lead.

What...? You mean one of the endless attempts by an ex-Grateful Dead to make money conjuring up the Dead experience rather than actually make new music failed? Life as we know it is over...
