Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
are you implying that the fall 89 tour was not one of his finer moments? because if you are, well, you and i are going to have to have a smoke off at high noon....and i say good day to you sir!

I saw a few shows during the fall '89 tour....and yes, Jerry's voice was already shot by then. Unfortunately, his early-mid 80's coke years changed his voice forever. He had also bwcome obese. Just watch and listen to those videos I posted above and there is a night and day difference. I didn't see the movie the other night, but I heard it was amazing to see Jerry look, sound and play when he was about 30-32 y.o.

As far as your smoke off challenge....I think I'd rather keep it to the slopes....or you could PM me. ;).

i love all eras and go through phases of favorites, but vocals aside i think 87-91 was as consistently good as they ever played together

then again i'm a touch-head, so i guess i'm biased

you're on...we'll continue the debate in the midst of some mountain greenery

Did anyone catch a viewing of sunshine daydream earlier this month? Great HQ footage and a ripper show. Definitely grab the release when it hits the shelves in September.

I would take the worst Jerry Garcia show over seeing any other band. I saw some real clunkers towards the end, but every one of those shows has at least a Jerry moment or two that made it all worth it for me. He took me to places of joy that no other musician before or since ever could.
