I haer ya , but not ... ( 3 months ago by outlawprp)

I haer ya , but not just great--happy to be playing. The scene changed in the late 80's early 90's. The fans were differant. Not all of them, but a lot of the so called deadheads were selfish rich kids. They brought that selfishness to the shows. Instead of being there for the group, the music, the scene, they were there for their own reasons. It wasnt all about that and there were good shows in that era however I Never saw Jerry and the rest of the band so happy to be onstage.

It's not Barlow ... ( 3 months ago by operadood)

It's not Barlow comparing himself to God. The song is about a character. The song is about this guy who's proclaiming this stuff about himself--the Estiamted Prophet, so it's in the voice of that character, not Barlow himself. Does that make sense?

really, it's a funny story how they wrote this. maybe someone can confirm what i remember....
bob wier and his lyricist john barlow stayed inside a hotel room for two or three days together writing this song. by the end of it they got to some degree of fighting and smashing furniture or otherwise yelling and throwing shit around.
and there was a bottle of Jim Beam I believe.
I think this story is in the book by Rock Scully titled, Living with the Dead.

I disagree, each ... ( 1 month ago by Altoonasuks)

I disagree, each member of the band brings their own feel and timing to the band. Donna, is remarkable on Playin',GDTRFB,France,Must of been ...,FOTM,etc.
sorry i also have many friends who feels she de energized the band, but I believe she adds that back-up vocal @presise times. However, she seems out of time with the music on some songs......this Estimated is tolerable Donna(if that makes sense)

Array ( 1 month ago by Altoonasuks)

WHY?
She adds a female back-up vocal which the Dead welcomed(sort of),to get Keith, Donna was included, and certainly made her presence felt in the 70's........the Dead are 4ever changing......so what, you have hear Donna Jean's background singing for like 8 years, I'm cool with it! Don't see myself @ any TRIXTERS shows however.

Seriously, if you ... ( 1 month ago by staaarboy)

Seriously, if you can't hear Keith's Polymoog harmonies you better check your ears...

Saw em at KC royals stadium in '78 and the whole show was great, but this song was the pinnacle, when that sound reverberated around the walls and seats it sent chills up my spine, never heard or felt anything like it since.
