A little story for those that loved Rick...In the mid 80's I went to see Jerry Garcia Band at a small club in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. It was small, very small and when I got inside I was pleasantly surprised to find out Rick Danko was opening,solo acoustic. He came out smiling and said,"This is like seeing Jerry in his living room!" He was great that night just like countless other nights.

Oh God,ANOTHER one who doesn't understand the word ' underrated ' and thinks it's cool to say...so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and talented musician) is underrated. NO,NO,NO,NO,NO! It's become the standard line about everyone who's basically a music legend. I'm going to be really controversial and cool and say they're underrated. No,you don't sound ' cool' you just look stupid, as he's clearly not underrated ,just the opposite in fact. He was a member of one of the best bands ever,a band who influenced countless others,he was highly rated and respected by everyone. He makes all the lists of top bassists. Nobody's ever thought of him as underrated, he's extremely rated by fans,critics and fellow musicians.

Rick had a longtime addiction to anything that would ease the pain resulting from his 1969 car crash in Woodstock. He was arrested in Japan while on tour with Danko/Fjeld/Andersen; supposedly, he cleaned up while awaiting trial, but...according to Jim Weider...relapsed not long before his death. He and Elizabeth Danko had been evicted from their home and were living in a motel when he died...less than a week after his last show in Ann Arbor (the Video is on KZfaq...it’s a hard watch if you love Danko).
