Great memory of that time. I worked at the Hilton Inn, Lake Geneva, 1987 when the Dead stayed on the top floor of the Hotel during their time at Alpine Valley. I was a room service/bus boy and one of only a handful of staff permitted to serve them. Served Jerry a plain burger and Diet Coke on their first night there, CNN playing on the TV, nothing else in there, but Jerry sitting on the end of his king-sized bed. I was 19 years old at the time and a guitar performance major, so I really wanted to chat it up with him but just asked for his autograph - on a napkin - and wished him a “good show.” He was gracious to me. Next day, called up to bring breakfast to a different room, knocked on the door and Bob Weir answers the door. On the floor was a guitar case open with all I can remember is a brown-hued neck-through solid bodied guitar. I happened to point it out, commenting that I had an Ibanez acoustic guitar and he said, “do you want to play it?” I sat down on the bed with Bob Weir’s guitar playing classic guitar music mixed-in with some jazz riff/comping while he watched and ate his breakfast. I never got to see them in concert because I was working that whole time. But it was like I was at the concert since the rest of the hotel was occupied by the crew and Dead fans (who drove Mercedes, BMW’s and Porsche’s mostly from Chicago). Thanks for triggering the memory and for the analysis of their guitar playing. Much appreciated!

the best thing about Jerry is that no one can ever really figure out that special sauce - the melodic phrasing, the loping lazy time signatures back to the root, the use of the spaces and non-notes. What exactly is it? Its elusive no matter whos trying to find it or what paradigm they come at it with. And it all just ends with a goofy ass grin like Michael has every time!

As a guitarist Jerry Garcia is an endless source of melodic ideas. It's like you could wind him up and he could play forever and never play the same thing twice. Saw them at the Hollywood Bowl in 1973 with the wall of sound when they were in their prime. Garcia is also one of those rare guitarists who can play rhythm and lead simultaneously. A master of triads that is very jazz like. Then throw in all his genius stylistic touches and it's magic. Great musicians can take you on a musical journey but the Dead can take you to Mars and back.

So the “bounce” that you have described as this Grateful Dead rhythmic phenomenon that no other band has... it’s not a boogie, not a shuffle, but the bounce. When Jerry is really into it you see him rock back and forth ya? but really it’s a bounce;) This is a result of Jerry’s bluegrass/country style where he emphasizes the 1-3 beats, while the rest of the band is on the rock n roll /all other music 2-4 beat emphasis. It won’t always mix well but when it does it does. An easy one to follow this on is Tennessee Jed💀🥀⚡️

I saw the Dead 37 times and they played China/Rider maybe 3 times. Maybe 4 at the most so it was a treat when they did. This was the best one I had seen live. One in Deer Creek Indiana was superb too. During this show they did Standing On The Moon and in the background was a bright full moon. It was a superb show from start to end.

Really, really enjoy your insights into the Dead. Been listening to them since 1971 when I saw them at the Fox theater (old, cool movie palace) in St. Louis. I believe they did a three night stand, and I met my wife at one of those concerts. They returned every year I was down the street at St. Louis University. I didn't know it at the time, but the Alpine Valley concert 7-19-89 was the last time I saw them. The ticket was a surprise birthday gift from my dear wife, who stayed home to watch our two young boys. I can't say precisely how I came to be a Dead fan but I suspect it was a combination of the super musicianship, constant rethinking/retooling of their songs over the years, the wonderfully crazy, long improvisations, lyrics by Robert Hunter, and the loose, party like feel of the shows. Kinda like seeing a spectacular band at a house party. Anyway, so glad you like them and bring another layer of appreciation to the mix.

When I ski solo, always listen to the Dead. Spent several hours at Winter Park last week listening and skiing. Have 15 days worth of Dead and Jerry Band on my phone to jam too. Good timing on a trip to Colorado. Finally getting some decent snow after a dry January. Enjoy your trip.

It’s fun watching you comment on GD. This run of shows was phenomenal. Paramount performances of Althea,CR,Not fade away,West LA fadeaway and I used to love her but....

I’m in Snowmass with my kids this week - tons of snow expected. Have a great time! I saw the Dead a bunch that tour. Probably the best one I attended. Of course I listened to a lot of Dead on the drive out from Denver...

Skiing to the Dead is perfect! Holler if you're skiing Winter Park, happy show you around the slopes. Your reactions have helped my bass playing, welcome the chance to say thanks and talk the Dead! Have a blast either way

When I took my Florida kids skiing in Colorado I was pleasantly surprised at the tunes played at Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin). They were totally cranking Dead tunes on the ski lifts and had Dead stuff throughout their gift shop. Gotta check it out Michael!
