I love me some old school tempo changes In Jack Straw. My favorite versions are the ones where you aren't sure if they are playing fast or slow, but Jerry did play blisteringly fast. Jay
Not sure how Phil's bands are put together, but they are consistently very good. They are certainly my favorite permutations of the Dead. He's still one of my favorite bass players.
So good. This block of shows was amazing. My favorite Jack Straw. hoping this channel puts out the Halloween show closer. If they want views, nothing beats that closer.
You could argue that there are any number of jazz players with greater technical proficiency, but to my ear, NOBODY tops Phil. Not now, not ever. He's the best.
If when you say "Bob's band" you're referring to Dead & Company. Then, no, that band played 2 shows at the Gorge recently. I attended both shows. They were mind-blowing. The best Dead & Co shows I've seen. Astonishing and fabulous.
@@leshtricity I saw them in 18’ and some tunes were fantastic (Cumberland blues, Althea) where Mayer just ripped. But others were like in slo-mo. Seeing them for the final tour this summer and hoping they have some fire underneath.
Great jam--one of the best I've heard in a while! You could tell they were really feeling it and reminds me of my favorite Dead jam: "Hard to Handle" from Fallout from the Philzone (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iL61lRHUFU0-.html-love how the crowd gets more and more excited in this recording).
Kind of like The Outlaws cover GD.Three electric guitars stepping on each other. But thankfully they could play well and it came through, kind of. I don't need to hear a Grahame Lesh solo for awhile. If not for Marcus King's name I wouldn't have clicked it. I did listen to the whole thing at least FWIW.
Nice energy, fun tempo changes. I’m sure it was a blast being there. Of course there is a “but”. All of these post Garcia bands have their flaws. Bobby gets bashed for his slow tempos. I get it and can’t fault anyone for that take. Phil’s bands have a tendency to be busy, as in the stage is pretty full. 3 guitarists doing lead?!?!? I’m surprised they didn’t line up front to back and sway back and forth like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Sonically it could benefit from some space.
When does the intro end? When vocals come in? Or when the allmann bros solo starts? This music always seems to start but never get anywhere. It’s on or off like super compressed except the tempo which always drags. It’s weird noodle music I can’t understand
I was there 10/28 & 10/29! Jack Straw was FIRE. Phil is simply peerless. Nicki Bluhm, Markus King, Eric Krasno were amazing. Watching Phil do what he loves with his son warms my heart and listening to such talented musicians' tribute to the Dead is truly a gift. However, Grahame really shouldn't sing any songs... No hate... but Grahame's voice kills the sweet vibes for me.
I’m sure it’s out of love for his son and the fact that he wants to spend time with him as he ages (can’t fault the man for that) but I always wish Phil would leave Grahame out of the “friends”. There’s no need for 3 guitars when the other 2 are Krasno and King.
it's a good version but Graham's solo feels a bit egotistical when he's got two world class guitarists next to him. there's nothing wrong with playing rhythm guitar.
@Errand Wolfe hey there fellow music lover was that joke really necessary? Probably not but either way please refrain from suggesting that any musician dies. I love how music takes me to another level of enjoyment in this crazy game called life. And your an ass for saying that Bob Weir should die because his musical abilities aren't good enough, who the fuck are you except a FOOL😅
