Robert Hunter's incredible songs may just be why the Grateful Dead has such staying power 60 years on. A celebration of one of rock's great lyricists.
Garcia and Hunter were the only absolutely irreplaceable members of the Grateful Dead, IMO.
I'm not saying the others weren't a great addition to the band, But without Garcia and Hunter, forget about it!
100 percent.
Nice interview
Thank you.
What a great wonder and gift that these partcular musicians and poets met and created a soundtrack still kicking ass 60 years later.
One typo — John Kahn. If you fix you can feel free to delete this note. 🙂
Thanks. Will fix. Was just listening to JGB and admiring John’s playing.
And I’ve been listening to Old & in the Way and forgot he was in that too. Sure wish I’d gone to more JGB shows.
Me too! They were going strong years after the GD seemed like a mess.
Very true! Kean College 2/28/80 (“After Midnight”) is note perfect imo. Including the Hunter set.
I was a latecomer to the Dead but have always been curious about Hunter. Didn’t he spend a lot of time in Wyoming on a family ranch?
Thanks for the clarity on that.
No. That was John Barlow. “Weir’s Hunter.”
Love Grateful Dead!!
Excellent interview Alan thanks for posting Incidentally Hunter was born on the same day as my daughter Her in 1987 big money year for the boys and Hunter God Bless The Gratefu Dead
100% contributing factor. No doubt. Genius.
It's amazing how various artists craft songs in such divergent ways.
