    Hey Tom great interview, just catching this now in Birmingham.

    During the years that I really followed the Dead---1970 to 74---they played a crazy number of shows per year and concentrated on music halls and theaters where ambient acoustics and favorable conditions assured good sound and intimate shows. The amount of work the band and their support personnel did to make that happen would be impossible today.

      Bro what? Smh, '70 to '74 are my absolute favorite years for them. I fondly refer to those as "the Billy years" lol. Wish I had a chance to see that specific ensemble at this time. 😢😂✌

      @@bluecollar825 So true. The quintet Weir, Lesh, Garcia, Pigpen, Billy. I saw that lineup in March 1971 at the Fox in St Louis. Pigpen doubled on keyboards.

      @@jimparker7778 yeah his abilities were definitely limited on the keys but I think people are harder on him than necessary. He was competent enough to at least serve the song. Sure he'd get lost in the serious improv but he could improvise vocals with the best of them. I'm referring to Pigpen of course. Cool story friend. '71 was hot!✌

    I never got to hear the big system , but in Winterland they had a smaller version that sounded really good...

    Actually got to talk to Dan Healy and Candace Brightman at a couple of shows because I always used to wind up next to the Soundboard, figuring that was where the show would sound best, and they saw me there, a lot. Very cool folks. RIP to Mr. Healy.

      Yeah well I remember the dark old days when Healy & Co. would go around snipping cables and yelling at deadheads to turn their equipment off or I'll have you thrown out.

    I have heard Dan Healy's story before, mostly in print, but this way cooler to hear Healy himself tell his own story. Thanks!

      I had the same thought! See the part 2, it's consistent. He's slightly nerdier, but still, very similar.
