A place to talk about the music of the Grateful Dead

To me he has always sounded kind of of like John Coltrane on acid and electrified.He's really talented and can glide around on the fretboard with ease. Plus he doesn't use a pick and is a fellow SG player. Cool all around!

Each band did a full 2 hour set with a 1 hour stage change in between. Based on what I experienced that night I walked away with the opinion that Trucks is great, Haynes is greater, and Lesh's friends weren't even in the same league.I love WH and have seen Mule many times. I agree about WH > DT. As much as I love WH, I don't think that southern rock style really fit well with the Dead. If Jimmy Herring was playing with Lesh, I'd have to disagree about being in the same league.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the Trucks show.

The Allman Brothers were/are a completely unrelated jamming blues band who cut their teeth on the same Fillmore stages as the Grateful Dead and both Trucks and Haynes have proven quite capable of independently moving in different directions when out on their own.

Some group or groups will start taking music in a unique new direction which becomes popular with the public and people who sell music will lump a bunch of unrelated artists into a bin with the hits while producers run around signing bands who can be molded into "that sound". For the buyer, you can search such a bin and maybe find some interesting new stuff but you better go in knowing there's a bunch of unrelated static in the bin.
