Re: non-CREAM, DEAD related... |
Well I suspect you might be right. But we'll never know. I think it's most likely that Pig would not have been central to what the Grateful Dead were and became the way that Bob did, even if Pig had lived. Pig did one thing. Bob does a lot of things, some better than others.
To each his own, but I think if he were alive now, I probably would not be excited to go hear Pig do Lovelight the way I am excited to go hear Bob (even if I cover my ears during Dear Prudence).

Re: non-CREAM, DEAD related... |
I guess my only pt in quoting all this drivel was 1) Mr Jackson agrees with me on many points, and 2) most members of the band have at various times said things that more or less support my view on which are the best studio albums (WMD/AB), which is the WORST album ever made (SYF), playing songs like the 11 were hard and req'd a GREAT deal of practice (thus, not just playing free form jams a la the myth), Bob was not able to contribute as much in the late 60s to these jam based efforts of complex sorts (and neither was Pig), blah, blah, blah.
I didn't mean to start a Bob-bashing revival--or pre-emptive defense? Har, har...

"support my view on which are the best studio albums (WMD/AB"
Does anyone dispute that??!?!
"didn't mean to start a Bob-bashing revival"
Doesn't take much to start one of those.
