  2. This show was awesome, great to see so many of the Ontario Deadhead scene. Kimock & Alfonso Johnson were on fire!
  3. MRG Live presents Jazz is Dead: Alphonso Johnson, Steve Kimock, Pete Lavezzoli & Bobby Lee Rodgers, Sun, Dec 10 2023 Doors: 7:00pm Queen Elizabeth Theatre – 190 Princes’ Blvd, Toronto, ON Doors: 7:00pm Show: 8:00pm Tickets / Facebook Event Jazz is Dead – The acclaimed All-Star instrumental ensemble, famous for interpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs with jazz influences, returns in 2023 to celebrate its 25th Anniversary. Co-founder Alphonso Johnson will be joined by Steve Kimock, Pete Lavezzoli & Bobby Lee Rodgers, performing Grateful Dead’s ‘Wake of The Flood’ marking it’s 50th Anniversary, in addition to other beloved selections. Jazz Is Dead XXV ‘reunites’ two greats! Steve Kimock & Alphonso Johnson, who together in heavyweight post-Garcia Grateful Dead off-shoot The Other Ones together with Bob Weir, commanded the instrumental prowess of that band. Formed in 1998 by bassist Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Santana, Bobby & The Midnites, The Other Ones), drummer Billy Cobham (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bobby & The Midnites), keyboardist T Lavitz (Dixie Dregs) & guitarist Jimmy Herring (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Widespread Panic), with drummers Rod Morgenstern (Dixie Dregs) & Jeff Sipe (Leftover Salmon) replacing Cobham in 1999, and guitarist Jeff Pevar (CSN, David Crosby CPR, Phil Lesh & Friends) replacing Herring in 2000, recorded 3 acclaimed albums, the second of which ‘Laughing Water’ in 1999 was in fact an instrumental ‘Wake of The Flood’ reinterpretation – so there is precedent. That album also featured Derek Trucks, Donna Jean Godchaux & Vassar Clements.
  4. Message board discussions, in general, are down. Too bad, I do love this community... it's always a treat to see y'all at shows.

  7. Been listening a lot to the Band podcast - the host did a great eulogy for Robbie. https://thebandpodcast.com/ I've read a few books about The Band, including Levon's This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band.. The Levon & Robbie in-fighting is legendary, and Levon's Book and the Band of Brothers paint radically different stories of the Band. Regardless of the truth, Robbie's songwriting and guitar playing are undeniable. RIP Robbie
