Had it not been for hunter, the dead would not have grown into the global treasure that they are.
I’ll leave this right here. Two souls gone, one way too soon.
That's Drew on mandy right?

I love JRAD and DSO equally. They are very different but both are best at what they do.
JRAD's interpretation is more interesting and psychedelic. The players are top notch and take the songs much farther out than just about any band playing this music. They have two guys that rip at lead guitar, you cant beat that.
But DSO feels like home. So true to the original. I often get goosebumps and tears come to my eyes during DSO shows (yes, i probably did take some LSD). They feel like a family reunion. I miss the days of John K on lead but the current line up is fantastic as well.
Dicks Picks 3 is currently my favorite show. They were firing at all cylinders, this show is a masterpiece. It happened a couple weeks after Cornell and IMO it is a better show.
Those radio City music Hall shows were in 1980 and released as the albums reckoning and dead set, but dead set also includes songs from the shows from SF in 1980. You can find the full shows on archive.org and use the grateful grabber extension/app to download them. In a lot of ways I prefer an excellent audience or matrix recording to a soundboard.Hey chicken scratch ,
You r right about the screen name. I never shot up but can relate to the person in the song.
I have a lot of crazy stories from my youth but the dead show stuff was always meallow. Dead Heads r cool folks.
Me and and a couple of friends were driving around back in NYC were I grew up and they anounced the Dead playing at Radio City Music Hall. So we drove straight there and bought tickets. Got center stage maybe 20 rows back. All acoustics sets...pretty amazing.
Saw them a lot in 80s in big places like Nassau Coliseum...but so far back you couldnt see the stage usually... but some good acid and fun times....
Are there any soundboards left on archive.com? A couple years ago most show were available and now seems theyve all been taken down. Not that I don’t like a good aud, but good auds are rare without a good cleanup ala Charlie Miller.
