April 1, 2020 at 4:00 pmmy friend Dan was sitting on the stage under Jerry’s mic stand between
the first and second set and Jerry came out and was tuning up and a
security guy came over and said your going to have to get off the
stage and Jerry turned around and said they are fine, they won’t be
sitting long … their is a dispute about what exacty was said and what happened but he said something like that and that is how i remeber it -peter

April 1, 2020 at 3:37 pmJerry w 89 Dead was a lot better than the OP would haughtily suggest, but I can’t argue re: the Big Man. I never enjoyed his sit-ins, which tended to expose what a limited player he is (esp compared to Ornette, Marsalis, Murray…).

April 1, 2020 at 1:02 pmJerry was great in 89 (w the JGB, but NOT the GD contrary to popular touch heads (who didn’t know any better) opinion…unfortunately Clemons was along to clutter up some of the shows!
A better ’89 show would be Hartford 09-05 but that has already been released in the Long Island Sound Set.
The “Big Man” was clueless for the shows and took away from Jerry’s soloing time. Ans isn’t that what we went for not some hacky sax?

April 1, 2020 at 1:25 pmOK Boomer–
1989 was a tremendous year for GD as a band–the power of the rhythm section (bass/drums) and passionate keyboarding contributed mightily to this. Jerry did a fine job, but I think 1989 was a year for powered playing from the band including, but not necessarily because of, Jerry. Still, I feel like your elitist, in-the-know, troll-like attitude suggests only your opinion matters. Must be a depressing life. (Why do you feel so compelled to share your opinion on Phish? Do you live for the attention your posts create–again a depressing life, methinks?)
