Request a REACTION

THIS is the Grateful Dead at their very best. Only 4 shows in all of '75 when they really added jaz to the mix.
You seem to listen to a lot of newer Dead- which is when they were shells of themselves in comparison to the older stuff when their styles changed drastically from one year to the next up through early 79. From 80 on they pretty much sounded the same. By 89-90 they were toast regardless of that whole "Spring Tour 90" hoopla.
The Garcia Band oddly shined in 80-81 not to take anything away from the 70s incarnations. They were totally ripping as well.
I really wish you'd move away from anything past 85 and go backwards. You've covered enough of that crap. Lol

I first discovered this band through NPR and there is something musically about the band that I love. Can you explain what's going on here?

Dear Michael,

Tin Roof starts at 5:18 mark on the vid I linked to (sorry, I not a master video editor).

I have “silently lurked” on you site and YouTube channel for quite a while, and saw your announcement about the property purchase, and at the same time realized I have spent more time watching your YouTube/website videos than Hulu, Apple TV, and YouTube TV COMBINED!

So I canceled 2 subscriptions and more than justified a LIFETIME membership with you - THANK YOU for all your passion and drive! I have pointed my daughter (the artist in this vid) to you reaction videos/lessons manny times, as I feel your reaction ARE LESSONS for songwriters especially. Alex had a magical night at the world famous BlueBird (dad goggles filter of course) two weeks ago, and worked thru their very competitive pre-COVID audition process to get there, and we would love to hear your reaction to Tin Roof (2nd song in her set that night).

Thanks again for all you do and all your content is amazing, and has gotten me to pull guitar cases out of closets and from under beds, and revitalized a passion I let life push down the priority pile.

Scott
