I think, personally, I lost a lot of respect for Jerry Garcia over the years because he was such a selfish pinhead. If you listen to Ratdog and Phil Lesh & Friends, it's obvious that it was Jerry who was holding the band back and no-one else. Maybe I'm grinding an axe and not being as subjective as I think I am. I don't know.
I just need to counter this, as there are youngsters reading. Phil and Bob rode Jerry's coattails to riches and Jerry in no way was holding the band back. There wouldn't have been a "band" without JG.
