Which is worse/which is better

Phil & Family Band or Dead & Co.?

Dead Co. is worse.

Phil way better

Ouch

sad, as there is still so much potential

yet my dad's not functioning at a very high-level these days either,  so, on it goes 

Desperation waiting on inspiration.   A few years ago I told myself I'm going to go to every single Phil show I can because there's only so much left.   But the last year I recalibrated what "I can" means. Terrapin, is it the end or the beginning?  Indeed

 

I’ve seen both, and left both of these bands long before the show was over. However, the Family Band is way more sucky than a Dead and Co. John Mayer can at least play guitar.

Family Band has Phil Lesh and at least a semblance of self respect.

 

wouldnt pay for either.

Indeed, indeed. Mirrors my thoughts and feelings very well. Certainly also in that it does not mention Dead & Co. at all.

Saw D&C the night before Thanksgiving. I expected to have a great time. I was pleasantly surprised at the music itself. I thought that it sounded fantastic. Then again, I love late 80s GD, which is where D&C picks up.

Can't say it's any better or worse than anything Phil is doing. I guess that's just opinion.

I will not see DeadCo. I will see Phil.

^and that's why the family band works. 

hard to say which is worse-they both are incredibly boring, stale, unimaginative playing and an overall amateur/sloppy bar band kinda vibe from both. they both overcharge. at least phil isn't (can't play arenas and stadiums) playing awful venues like dead n co (looking for something positive here). 

they both provide awful interpretations of dead, to the point it's just laughable at how bad it is. 

id say phil is worse atm-just b/c i expect better from him, you know, considering his post dead career, he's melted faces w/ some incredible bands-more so than the remaining 3, imo. 

dead&co is to be expected from the bobby camp. 

phil has chosen to go down the shitter w/ the family bland, which is odd b/c dude can still throw down. oh well. 

In spite of having to contend with the likes of "Shappy", I'm an easy customer.

I’d rather go to a drum circle.

 

And I really don’t like drum circles.

lol

Damn, and some said the 'rate your current interest in Phil' thread was depressing.

what the hell happened?

no wonder JRAD is so over-hyped

Dead & Co is a disgusting overpriced cash grab. The Family band is a mediocre band just having some fun. Really no comparison. Its like apples vs. tritium  really.

Funny that the mediocre band just having fun often charges more than the cash grab group

Where does Family Band charge $150 a pop? You really think their booking prices are similar?

If Person A spends X amount of cash for Band A and has a great time, and if Person B spends Y amount of cash for Band B and has a great time, who the fuck cares?

If you don't like them, don't go. They ain't grabbing your cash.

Logic, dude? You new here?

 

 

I like Dead & Co more that Phil & TFB 

go see Ween.

^you still thinking about that summer show? haha. 

i love ween. 

Dead co by a mile

Phil & TFB are absolutely horrible! Really, TFB? Are you serious?

The fact people keep paying for this blows my mind.

In the end it's whatever floats whoever's boat that really matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
