Bruce Hornsby is, by far, my most favorite Rock and Roll musician EVER. I'm a huge Dead Head, and I love Jerry and all the guys in the band, but Bruce is such a cool dude, and he is so down to earth, not that Jerry wasn't, but he is so relatable and also a great musician on his own. Great footage. Thanks.
Cool to find out that Monterey was Bruce’s first gig opening for the Dead ! I was there and it was utterly fantastic. His band added so much to the good feeling of that pair of shows. Perfect cool sunny spring days sitting on a grassy hillside listening to Bruce + Grateful Dead = heaven on earth !!!
Loved Hornsby with the Dead. After the sloppy, inarticulate playing of the '80s, Hornsby help bring the Dead back to a clearer, crisper sound, reminiscent of the '70s.
Loved Hornsby but respectfully disagree with your take on 80's Dead. The Brent era was my favorite and I feel the height of their legendary sound. Granted I unfortunately was too young to hear the short lived wall of sound.
But loved Bruce, he nailed it!
I love Bruce! The coolest and baddest musician!!

I honestly don't have any problem with recognizing Bruce Hornsby as an actual member of the Grateful Dead...
Of course
You could see that the dead has a positive effect on hornsby. Awesome. Peace ✌️
Good interview good video content 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for posting this! I had never seen this clip. I'd love to find out what show that was with the kid!
The middle finger story was a head scratcher
Right? Why focus your time on that? Lost opportunity to share something more worthwhile to the experience.
Hornsby’s relationship to the music of Corea and Tyner is understandable. His own style is closer to Bud Powell’s by his own admission.
Do you have him playing with the Arsenio band??
He was a a cutie 🥰
I'm a Hornsby Head, so its good see the man and his haircut!!
Disagree with comment “ it’s mostly college age”. I was 25 then and it seemed most people were 40 plus, yeah some 20’s and 30’s but not most
There are some better interviews with Bruce about playing with the Dead

Agreed!
You seem to not have a clue. Might want to re listen to 87-90.

Both eras had their moments. I can attest to some of the brilliant 80s shows when they were on.🎉
he was an awful fit. early 80's were great. they went downhoill after the coma and in the dark..bruce overplayed and pounded...terrible!
Stop talking and start chalking.
TV clips will have intros here
