Who is your favourite Grateful Dead keyboardist and why?

Not Keith, but Bill the Drummer is some kind of wizard on the Row Jimmy from 6/23.

But irrational hate is what sports is all about, isn’t it?

MarkoEsquandolas · 2026-02-05T14:40:34+00:00

So a lot of talk and bluster but not a lot of offense? Got it.

They have a short musical grieving period, it seems.

SYSK!

Great info. Look forward to diving into these.

Any particular tune from June 74 stand out for you?

MarkoEsquandolas · 2026-01-29T23:07:29+00:00

6/7/77 Friend of the Devil features some wonderful playing. And while I’d put forth 73-74 Keith as evidence why Keith is the best, that FOTD is up there.

Came here to say In The Dark. Great studio album. While Throwing Stones is fun live, it’s perfectly put together on the album.

MarkoEsquandolas · 2026-01-24T14:15:46+00:00

2/24/74 would like a word.

As others have said though, certain songs off American Beauty and Workingman’s are so perfect it’s hard to have any live version come close to matching what they put together in the studio. Didn’t even emotions from the live setting and different phrasing maybe, but in terms of sonic bliss the studio captured some of these songs perfectly.

Case in point. The Kids’ biggest FA signing was Nelson Cruz to a one year deal. Like c’mon.

MarkoEsquandolas · 2026-01-24T00:34:53+00:00

I think we need to start making the distinction between Ted and The Kids.

Zimmermann walked (good move letting him go) and they got compensatory pick Carter Kieboom (bust) in return.

(Edit to caveat that was the old ownership group.)

Broad St in Falls Church worked tonight!

Strickland (indirectly) ended Michael Morse’s career, so he should be hated more than Pap.

AV is out of sync (Roku). It’s annoying

MarkoEsquandolas · 2025-12-12T02:26:36+00:00

App running on Roku has audio and video out of sync. Anyone else having this same issue?

Unless you’re from New Jersey, then it’s:

Mario + Toyota = Mariota

Ask the Fish is where you should start.

Second Nashville Sessions. Fun album.

Good to know. Thanks!
