IMHO Stanley is as creative a guitarist that Phil has played with since Jerry.
There are moments when his shredding is breathtaking.
Music evaluation is a subjective process, meaning 2 each his or her own.
From what I have seen & heard, Stanley is fully familiar with the material & inspires others in the band 2 play better

Although his tone runs a bit thin at times, I enjoy Jordan's style of playing, but these last couple of nights the music hasn't seemed very conversational.

The very young girl next to me asked " Is that Warren Haynes ? " I didn't want to chuckle and make her feel bad, so I answered her and told her who it was and the rest of the band too :) It was her first time ever seeing anything Dead related...she was quiet and really seemed to be enjoying herself, it made me smile :) There were quite a few folks around us that did not know who the band members were tho, that made me think....well, maybe Phil doesn't need to announce a line up...lol !!!
Not too much chatter and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves :)
ohhh and I adore Stanley Jordan, just to keep it on topic !

SJ knows the songs better
SJ does a better job on songs he doesn't know than John Scofield, who I also like, but who I find kind of annoying on the "1st set standards". I think SJ does a better job of keeping in the background/fitting in if he doesn't know the material that well. Sco lets everyone know he doesn't know what's going on but he's way into going all angular and annoying trying way too hard to make everything "Avant Garde", even if it's only Loose Lucy.

Phil & Friends are rather Lucky to have Mr. Jordan as part of the ensemble.
A rare few of the Phriends have been featured in "National Geographic" magazine back in the early '80's due to their pioneering Guitar stylings.
Actually, just Stanley.
If they would just have some rehearsals, that would be amazing.
I mean not rehearsing on stage during the Cap run, but actual rehearsals.
Is that really all too much to ask ??

I don't think anyone should
I don't think anyone should see the improbable JRAD popularity and almost preferential treatment they receive as any coincidence. Phil should have known that his half assed lineups would finally have it's effects. Zoners are lining up at the door to see a cover band over our leader. It also shows how crucial Molo/ Russo have become for this music.
Passing of the torch indeed.

Who gives a shit about the vocals?
It's all about the jam.
Top of Page Bottom of Page PermalinkFull Name: Sideshow Bob
When the vocals are more than
When the vocals are more than 1/2 the length of the show (which is definitely the case w/JRAD) that means for me that more than 1/2 the show is absolutely unbearable. And JRAD brings NOTHING (other than playing them fast) to songs like Loose Lucy, Ramble on Rose, Loser, Row Jimmy, Candyman, Hell In A Bucket, Althea, They Love Each Other, etc, etc, etc. They just sound like a really bad local GD cover bar band when they're not jamming.

The 1 time I saw JRAD I was really lucky & saw mostly old school GD & jamming, it was only @ the end it got unbearable (after King Solomon's) - link below. Most of the other shows I've tried to listen to have way too many bad vocals. Again, I'd go see them locally, but as a substitute for Phil (or even DSO)? No thanks!

I never claimed to know what SJ knows or does not know. Only Stanley would know that. IMHO any musician who would sit in with another musician would have some idea about what he is playing. Stanley has played with Phil over 10 times, so (in theory) he would be able to bring some competence and understanding 2 the music he is playing.
I also make no claims 2 b intelligent. As people go, intelligence is not in my wheelbarrow. I do have some skill level at engaging in and being silly.
