Definitely stood out from someone of your generation, because this is you were my first exposure to folks who were coming in long after Garcia died and absorbing the dead and company experience.

And during the conversation with Dennis, you know, he reminded us that in order to understand the band, you have to really understand the band's musical DNA.

There are two truly unique things about The Grateful Dead.
voice-verified
One is that in the world of rock and roll, at least, they weren't a rock band.

They were a jazz band that happened to use rock instruments and rock songs and rock forms.
voice-verified
But their commitment to improvisation made them different from all other bands.
voice-verified
The band's jazz influence has always been sprinkled throughout all of their music.
