Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
So after this summer's and this weekend's performances, we are just about to let the one-man boy-band wondering about bodies slide, and then he comes along with this! So after this summer's and this weekend's performances, we are just about to let the one-man boy-band wondering about bodies slide, and then he comes along with this! I don't think it's fair to compare the two. We admire Garcia for his talent in creating the music, and because it is so good. We can admire Mayer (and others like Kadlecik) for his talent in re-creating the music, and playing it so that it sounds good. The ones who follow can never acquire the "creation" aspect for our appreciation; even different and sometimes better interpretations don't rise to the level of creation. Certainly Mayer deserves lots of credit just for learning the songbook. It is, however, fair to prefer one over the other, or to like two equally. Garcia aside, there are many great musicians whose ability in playing the music was nothing special, even lacking. Dylan comes to mind, and there some versions of Watchtower, for example, are better musically than his original. Any bar band can duplicate the music of the Beatles note for note; none of them were outstanding on their instruments (incl. vocals).

Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek) last night observed that Mayer was "50% Dave Mathews and 50% Nora Jones" referring I'm sure to vocals and lyrics.

It's a well suited song for D&C's slower tempo, and Mayer sings it well.

Still, I can't say it topped Jerry's best Althea. Was it better than Jerry's worse Althea? Probably.
Was it transcendent like Jerry's best ones? Damn straight it was.
I think I'm trying to say that D&Cs Althea is worthy of the conversation and I'm OK with that.

Not necessarily. Would I say that Mayer does as much exploration throughout the songs as Jerry? No....but then again he's only been playing the music for what 3 years? Have a heard great versions by Mayer that made me blast off and ponder a deep conversation about things? Absolutely. Also lets remember Jerry had bad nights just like every musician..
Personally I am enjoying the progression of Mayers music thus far..

I mean what if we strapped you to a chair in a padded room for like 4 days and played nothing but Dead n Co, there's a possibility...as slim as it might be, you might like it afterwards.....that or you'd be mentally insane...
What's funny is I've heard people say the same thing about Dark Star...since I never actually got to see Jerry I don't miss his voice as much...can't miss what you never saw.... so for me I'm just enjoying the music with whoever is willing to play it I guess..

And as of now, there is only 1 song like that for me out of the entire catalog.
I tried watching a Mayer solo concert on tv once, I didn't make it long before I had to bail.

I get what you’re saying, I felt that way about Kadlecik in Furthur on a few songs and Chimenti on a lot
