That’s awesome. Where did you see him say that?

@@drewharrison1840 it’s in his book called Searching for the Sound

What about John Mayer? He has really embraced the music of the Dead. Both are absolute talents.

I agree. He is the only one who seems to really get it. I have been listening to the GD, JGB, and the JGAB almost daily since 1979.

Tom Hamilton is also absolutely killing it on guitar... Look up the bands "Joe Russo's Almost Dead" (JRAD) and "Billy & The Kids" (especially when Billy Strings plays with them)... JRAD sometimes goes into very similar psychedelic breakdowns between songs.

@@jessewoody5772 see my above comment about Tom Hamilton. He & Billy Strings are both more suited for Dead music. Not bashing John Mayer, as he's certainly talented and has done the music justice. Dead & Co's final tour is this year so we need to move on from that. Honestly I've not been seeing Dead & Co the past couple years because they have been playing everything in slow motion. I wanna dance like crazy at Dead shows, but Dead & Co seems more suitable for slow dancing anymore. That being said I may catch a few shows this year simply to show my appreciation for the original members. Bill Kreutzmann still has it (and is the "Billy" in Billy & The Kids). So does Phil, but it's obvious why he's off doing his own thing.

@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 I agree that Billy Strings wears a more Dead "hat" than John Mayer but....I was impressed by Johns own admittance of dealing with his collosal EGO and reighning it all in. When he said in an interview that being where Jerry once stood is the First time in his life "he felt like a member of a band" is telling of his self awareness and intelligence. And then he became a total student of The Dead and his virtuosity shown. Now, I agree with you that Billy strings is more of a match because he seems of a similar ilk as Jerry, kind of like a savant where as John is more of a virtuoso. I Think...... Both have gotten me to binge nothing but them for days at a time. Then I go listen to something like Roxy Music live version of Neil Youngs Like A Hurricane to cleanse my palette.

Lol. But did ya ever trip? 😎

Wow. Making me tear up here

100%

I'm pretty sure I saw Jerry on stage with him this summer.

As they cover two of the most popular bands.....ever

😆😆😆🤣😭

@@bitagottem6610 Pop and popular are not the same thing anymore.

Mikaela Davis is also holding it down on harp (as is Joanna Newsom, if you're into that type of genre-bending folk music... Hint: if you enjoy psychedelics put on her 2006 album *_Ys_* when you start peaking... 😉🤗🤯🙂)

Yeah it is pretty magical I should had played this on my K5 banjo.

Don't forget to bring some mushrooms

Lol can say that again 🌟⚡️🌟

Me too

Took me like three notes. Fave Sabbath song of all!! 🤘

What is Planet Caravan? Or should I say who’s tune is it?

@@MrHilljohntimothy TBH I thought it was a Pantera tune until a friend told me it was a Sabbath track.

They are amazing live!!!

Beautiful ❤️

He works for the CIA. Look into his uncle...

@@xx-vi1mj uncle Sturgill

While they were playing wharf rat, when they sang "I'll get up and fly away" I looked up and there was a jet like a dot in the sky flying overhead leaving a streak across the blue, was quite badass

Dont forget Dead 85 in the old Carolina Coliseum ... Werewolves of London!!!

@@dmar9658 I was there!

@@dmar9658 ahh-woooooo

Check out Billy & The Kids feat Billy Strings

We’re we’re talking about this same thing after the Saturday show! Then Sunday proves our point

Kurt was not a "magical being." What a joke ... he might be the most overrated musician ever. If he hadn't blown his brains out he'd never have been considered a "legend" like he is now & his junkie ass would've flamed out like most junkies do.

@@jakejohansen1889 you sound lovely and well adjusted and are certainly entitled to your opinion 🙌🏼

Never miss a Sunday show💪👏👏👏

You should’ve seen it live Wow!

@@chuckbrasher731 wish I could've, buddy! I'm making it a point to see him again at least once before the year is over!

@@chuckbrasher731 you got that right.

Would love to see a BMS and WSMFP ticket!!!

planet caravan in the midst of dark star...I am not sure this is all real or some simulation to occasionally show me the way

Legendary send Tipper, cheers

Okay, but he's got so many high quality shows circulating online, he has sort of done that already! The amount of new music he's pumping out is mind blowing.

Michigan

That’s what good music does ✌🏼

Definitely heard two separate sprinkles of Warf Rat

Daphne!

And his band is every bit as amazing
