I wonder if it was Brent or because he was the new guy??Easy to love you was like hearing a Carpenters tune in the middle of a Dead show. I think Brent was pretty well accepted and respected as keyboard player when he first joined but most people I knew would have prefered if he stayed out of the singer/song writer business.
