Yeah, he should definitely be in the top 10.

Just wait until the Zombie Apocalypse, then you will see that the Dead are much better when they stay dead.

Where did Garcia get that twang in his accent. Did he live in Tennessee for a while?

Check out this song by the Jerry Garcia Band on the live double CD circa 1991.  It ain't GD.

This is one of Jerry Garcia's solo albums without the Dead.
Great stuff, displaying Garcia's jugband, folk and country roots,
which influenced the Dead's sound, of course.
But this album is just Jerry: put that doob down & listen up, folks!
As for musicianship, commented on below, Jerry Garcia is ranked 13th
among the all time greatest guitarists according to Rolling Stone magazine.

 Just a classic tune from Jerry, and for all those who saw dozens of shows, a GD staple.

I laughed out loud when I saw this cover but having discovered it's from the early 70's, not early 80's, I'm mildly impressed - it's cheesy and cliched a dozen years ahead of it's time.

A couple or more years later, my response is YES! I just listened to the album tonight. What has always has impressed me is the soaring pedal steel guitar solos. There are not very many examples of his work on this instrument (New Riders, CSN&Y Teach Your Children for two), but he did not play it in anything like a traditional way. There are several really good instances of this on the Garcia album.

Half the experience is partying with tens of thousands of strangers in the parking lot.

The other half is dancing with tens of thousands of strangers inside the stadium listening to the music.

The Dead were good but not great musicians.

However, their concerts were among the best parties ever. They get points just for that.

Too late to see them live,
there's no explaining it, otherwise


I saw them live once in 1976.It was horrible.They couldn't even tune their instruments.

I had been playing guitar for about 2 years.I was disgusted and have loathed them ever since.

My brother said it was because they were coming off a long break .The only decent thing for them to do would have been to apologize and offer everyone refunds but of course they didn't because they suck.
