John Mayer was an interesting choice for the lead guitar part, but now having seen him play, it all makes sense. Well of course their music had become tattooed into my soul, and staying completely away from it was never a realistic option. I wasn't cool with the choices to "replace Jerry" and basically swore off the Dead forever under the assumption that nobody would be able to create the sonic masterpieces that Jerry did. I came to prefer Ratdog over Further, The Other Ones, and Phil and Friends. The performance I saw lacked depth, feeling, and soul. I saw the Dead when they toured with Warren Haynes in 2004 and I left disappointed.
Louis and Minneapolis this weekend changed my attitude completely. I seriously had my doubts when I heard the band was teaming up with John Mayer (just like I did when they tabbed Trey to play the Fare Thee Well shows) but being at the shows in St.
I learned that this latest incarnation of the Grateful Dead is a force to be reckoned with.
