Dead fans are defensive because insults, direct or implied, just mean that they’re not seeing the whole picture and don’t get it. They were to prolific on every front for any nit-pic to stand. Depth and soul doesn’t come from having an “America Idol” voice.
bdp24, you are a rude a** for your posts in this memorial thread for the passing of Robert Hunter and are in bad taste. you’ve touted this “the singing voice is everything, therefore the Dead are inferior to the Band” BS before (at lest I’m pretty sure that was you). This is the wrong thread bro. Take your opinion elsewhere.
And this thought that they were trying to copy The Band is hogwash. Half of those song were written before the Band released that album or anyone knew what was coming. The Dead were on their own trip on Mickey’s ranch and working some of that stuff up simultaneously.
Fare Thee Well to one of the top lyricists in the world...whom to many will never be match.
The Dead will never die.
