He will be missed. But he's left us so much.

Saw Bob Weir with Kingfish in Nevada when Jerry was recovering from a diabetic coma in 86 and was fortunate to see the Dead together a couple of times in 87 when this album was released. RIP Bob

I first saw him (and the rest of the band) in February '73 at the Nassau Coliseum. Pigpen had just died.
But I really consider my first Dead show to be December '71 at the Felt Forum. It was simulcast on the radio, and I was taping it uninterrupted, including the interminable time between songs, Scott Muni interviews with Jerry, Bob and Bill Graham (Bill saw a guy grab two tickets off a couple of girls out front and ran after and tackled him in the street) and the 90 minute opening set by NRPS. All told, it was 6 very memorable hours on four cassettes. But I learned a couple of things in February of 1973:
1. The Grateful Dead and 15,000 people at a sports arena were not nearly as exciting as Hot Tuna playing for 3,000 folks. "I'm gonna sing you, a hundred verses in ragtime..." 90 would have been more than enough.
2. Jerry Garcia was not the 'front man,' as I had always assumed. Robert "Ace" Weir was.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
