I saw this and must admit that I'm defintely tempted.

Do you guys think that they will pull it off without Jerry?

I stopped listening to them after Pigpen died.They're records really went downhill after that.
Re: The Dead Are Touring The U.S. This Spring
They're going to sound like a tribute band. Are they planning to find some Jerry-clone on YouTube too? Sheesh! 
All I wanna do is rock!

I have to admit Ron McKernan did add so much to the mix that Dead followers came to dig. I mean, his vocals and his organ and harmonica playing brought a bluesy edge to The Dead. But the band did carry on and evolved post-Pigpen. Obviously, Jerry was the heart and soul of the outfit. Once he was gone, the other fellas made a wise choice to assess their situation. Man, I still recall the first of many Dead concerts I attended in the Bay Area. Bill Graham's Winterland in San Francisco was my first venue and the year was 1971. Geez, that place was made for The Dead. Whew, I don't think I'll forget those happenin' times --- I miss 'em big time.

Warren Haynes is no slouch.
Maybe they can have a Jerry cardboard cut-out stage left?

To me The Dead without Pigpen was like the Stones without Brian.goofyfoot wrote:I have to admit Ron McKernan did add so much to the mix that Dead followers came to dig.
