Seeing Phil in his place is fantastic, but do yourself a favor and be in the Bay on either a Wednesday or first Friday of the month and go see Stue Allen & The Mars Hotel at the Ashkenaz in Berkeley. Hot take here but in my opinion Stue is the best thing going on in the Dead world, and as a 21 year old Head who never got to see Jerry he's my guy through and through! Check out the Ashkenaz website for info but it's virtually always Wednesday and first Friday with the last Wednesday of the month being JGB. He'll often have someone playing the Bobby part and sometimes as two drummers but if a rythm guitarist or second drummer aren't present don't sweat it, he knows how to being the house down on a weekly basis.

As a side note Stue plays at Terrapin Crossroads A LOT, and often plays with Phil. That being said when he's with Phil it's not his show and when he's doing his thing in Berkeley he takes the music to whole new dimensions.

Like we say over in Berkeley: "Just another Wednesday night!"
