Theme by Anders Noren — Up ↑
Like most everything Grateful Dead, I’m conflicted about Vince. His piano during that Phil and Friends show in ’94 is really nice; I think he might’ve sounded much better in the Dead if they let him play a real organ (hey Beavis…) instead of that plinky whateversynththatwas.
I actually met the guy once, about a year before he died. He’d driven himself to Arizona in a Lincoln Mark XVMXLMI for a handful of shows. Seemed genuinely happy to be there but oddly, allowed himself to be carried from his piano and out of the bar by a couple big dudes.
Also, they made Bobby look like Steve Fucking Miller.
Yeah, this is a mess.
