This made me pause. I discovered the Dead in ‘79. I was 11. The Dead were one of my gateway bands to Phish 8 years later. I always sorta equated Phish more to Zappa+Allmans+Jimi+AcidJazz w/ a sprinkle of a Dead. Goose seems more Eggy to me. Which came first rho? Goose or the Eggy?
Guess we’ll have to wait 10 years to find out. Meanwhile folks like Daniel Donato are re-clearing a path that could draw artists towards the sorta Bakersfield Tele thing he has going on 🤣
the prog was my way in. i got into both phish and the dead more or less at the same time in college after being a prog kid my entire life. early phish and terrapin station/blues for allah were my shit

and sadly Goose is a much bigger draw and will, when we look back, be considered more influential
