and you'll notice that by this time phil had the new bass and billy had the drum set he only played for a few months. i didn't think these drums without the bottom heads sounded as good as the one with them. you get less control without them. i've played them both ways myself and i prefer with the bottom heads.
Checking out 9/8/87. I listened to 4/19/86 earlier today, and the change in the sound of the band from April 86 to September 87 really surprised me.
Now listening to 5/26/73(Kezar Stadium SF California)on TIGDH on SiriusXM’s Grateful Dead channel via the webstream now playing Looks Like Rain.
Yeah, kinda wonder why Billy had that brief dalliance with the concert toms. I like the butcher block, though.
I would have been curious to hear them with bottom heads. I assume he still has them but who knows for sure.
Enjoying. And yes, Keith Godchaux was the best keyboardist the Grateful Dead ever head. (Cats don't feel the rhythm, or maybe they don't want to acknowledge it. But mine is Jerry, dammit!)
