Forum MVP Tea Posted February 2, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 2, 2014 IMO, there's no way JK gets left out of this lineup. Not after the last several years with Bob and Phil. I wish it to be true.....
Forum MVP Mango Posted February 2, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 2, 2014 What about Stu Allen? Prob a long shot but I think it would sound grate. Then again, I'm a Jerry lover...
Forum MVP Tea Posted February 2, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 2, 2014 There's a Wharf Rat I heard Stu do when he was tryin out - one of the best since healthy Jerry. Dripping with emotion
Mr_Charlie Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 I just hope that we get a tour. I also would prefer JK but will see as many shows as I can as long as the core four are there.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 2, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 2, 2014 i wished i lived in a world where i thought johnny was a shoe in. has something about this music made me jaded? oh yeah, NOT the music, just politics aka business as usual that has me jaded. but really. who else would come anywhere close to sounding right for a grateful dead REUNION tour than the guy who built his career off recreating the sound? duh! seems like a no brainer. if politics prevent this, I will die just a little bit inside. oh WAIT, i am a star head first and a dead head second so what do i care who tours with them? I HAVE DSO. (which regardless will SOUND better, even if certain perfections might occur on the reunion tour that will be sad to miss, i learned my lesson with furthur already… if the band doesn't let johnny play, it's not what i'm into)
Forum MVP GoingBackTo Where.... Posted February 2, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 2, 2014 Never ever would I see a show, no matter who is playing with Warren. He destroys everything that I like about Jerry's part with the band. But oddly enough, they would let Warren sing, while they keep JK in quiet corner:{ Bringing in Hornseby would be a wonderful delight!!!!!!
batchainpllr Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 only DICKIE BETTS should sub for Jerry. If you need to know why then you have never seen the grateful dead with jerry and should take my word for it - the playing, the singing, the message, the improv. can`t wait for that 43 minute In Memory of The Other One (drums in the middle) ~nuff said PS Constanten on organ, Hornsby on piano (ala 72 sound)
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted February 14, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 14, 2014 Betts is the best, authentic and relentless, emotional guitar player. I believe he'd be up for it; however, I don't see GDP soliciting Dicky Betts. I don't think GDP is as real as they'd need to be to bring him in. Good outta the box suggestion.
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 14, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted February 14, 2014 Well if the dead could pick anyone, Jeff mattson would be the hands down best choice. He tours as Jerry 140 shows a year and is just getting better and better. I think his voice is ever improving as well and you can really hear the Jerry angst in his voice. But on that note, he better not leave DSO
Forum MVP dsostar Posted February 16, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 16, 2014 I have a coupon from "Evil Twins R Us" good for the makings of a twin for 1 year. I had been saving for later use, but I would be happy to trade it in on a Mattson clone. Question is, should Evil Jeff play with DSO or the Dead?
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted February 16, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 16, 2014 Dickie Betts as Jerry ... somebody get that Cocaine away from that man
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 17, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 17, 2014 I DO NOT want Jeff to play with the boys during the reunion tour. They would NEVER let him play the way he wants to play (the way I NEED him to play!) and it would be as sad if not MORE SAD to see what they would do to him after seeing what happened to JK. I know its not even an option, cause Jeff loves to play his guitar like Jerry too much, but even if it was, I would never approve because I like my RAGING BEAST JEFF MATTSON way too much right where he is, with the glorious DSO. I will not go to Nepal next year if they get JK, but if not, SEE YA! the 2009 tour made me think I didn't like the grateful dead, after all, but then I went back to DSO and realized it was just that I am, to steal some profound phrasing from another star head, "a purist." kiss kiss!
Forum MVP Mango Posted February 18, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 18, 2014 If you're in Nepal then I suppose it wont matter if Jeffrey plays with the boys....Don't see it happening, though, and I'm okay with things the way they are.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 19, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 19, 2014 even if I AM in nepal, YOU ALL will still be here, and I want you to have Jeff in the right place!!!! just cause I'm not there doesn't mean I'm not HERE!!!! I still care no matter where I am that DSO is kicking ass and taking names and that not even the boys can fuck that up
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 19, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted February 19, 2014 So the dead are playing Everett base camp? Sweet. *hires 9 Sherpas
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 19, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 19, 2014 I think a show in Nepal would be perfect. have a lil Tibetan refugee benefit? I will arrange the space for DSO to come when I get there, then we will ALL get on our sherpas and RIDE! now that I am on it…. I AM ON IT, GRATE IDEA!!!!!! lmao
franknkeene Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I would believe (just a belief - I don't know) that this music would be played to sparse yet interested folks in Nepal. On the other hand, I have spent enough time in India to possess strong beliefs that this music has the potential to catch on like wild fire there. If I were DSO tour manager, I would consider New Delhi and Chandigarh. I know for a fact (circa 2006) that in Chandigarh (bunch of hours drive north of Delhi) "kids" are playing in their bands Pink Floyd, The Band, CCR, Beatles, Zep, etc in the market place. It's fun to dream (I'm not the only one). But - if it ever became a reality, I would be leading the way. I'd have all my work staff fly in from Hyderabad and Mumbai. hahaha...what a trip! DSO's version of the Pyramids.
Forum MVP cm_hayden Posted February 20, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 20, 2014 50th. line-up: Core four, Bruce, Kimock, Joan or Donna Jean with guest appearance by Branford.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 21, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 21, 2014 grateful dead = dharma nuff said.
Forum MVP Tea Posted February 21, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 21, 2014 who's dharma? Duh..... Dharma.
Bobbymcgee36 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 IMO, there's no way JK gets left out of this lineup. Not after the last several years with Bob and Phil. I wish it to be true..... My wish to accompany the core 4 would be JK on guitar and Bruce Hornsby + Jeff Chimenti on keys.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted February 22, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 22, 2014 ain't gonna learn what ya don't wanna know
Forum MVP cm_hayden Posted February 23, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 23, 2014 Phil is 74 years old in a few weeks, so what's the possibility of a tour when he's 75. I say slim to none.
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 23, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted February 23, 2014 He's doing lots of cap theater shows in 2014. He's not slowing down a whole lot.
