agreed, the keith days were relatively nice days for the dead, they really evolved their style.
I myself like the dead in chronological order..
my first love is Pigpen, that bastard knows the blues!
Then I fell for Keith, cuz 1974 and 1978 were fucking golden years for the dead, really really good live music, keith really evolved the dead to what they would become later, took them out of the blues and out of the dark star era and led them into a more jazzy, more musical time.
Brent, shit brent was as much fun as Pig, perhaps brent's style was a true blend of Keith and Pig, and it made the 80s good years for the dead as well.
Last of all there is Vince, good ol vince, unfortunetely I only like vince's work from 1990-1992, after that I think the dead went back too noodling too much, not enough solid music, but many many deadheads will punch me in the mouth for that, they absolutely adore 1990s dead..
