That's why I couldn't find it. Thanks for the link. I had heard of at least one 94 acoustic show. Is that the only one?

Here you go guys, I found the interview on-line where I said Jerry mentions Bob not being too happy with it.

It has two interviews, it's in the bottom one which is about acoustic playing:

To quote the interview and Jerry:

Guitar.com: Why has the Grateful dead limited its acoustic sets?

Garcia: I don?t know. I think [Bob] Weir doesn?t feel comfortable playing acoustic music. I personally would like to do it more often. Bob doesn?t seem to like to do it very much, so we don?t press it. If anybody feels even a little negative about something, we don?t do it.

Great article, thanks for linking.
David: Do you feel that psychedelics might be a way for the vegetable kingdom to communicate with humans?
How can you not love this question? And the way Jerry rolls along with it. Classic.

Great article! Thanks!


Hmmm...

My guess is that this is another example of people making assumptions and acting on them.

"If anybody feels even a little negative about something, we don?t do it."

sounds more like they were sensitive to eachothers feelings.



i love these interviews. lots of juicy stuff to read into.

I loved their acoustic phases. And they pretty much started the whole "unplugged" chapter that MTV and many contributing bands such as Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, KISS, etc, etc participated in. Might never have happened if the Dead did not initiate. Reconning
may have been the spark for this "trend"
