This a joke, Cipollina could outplay Garcia any day, any time. Gimme a break.

@jltardiff No my friend ..no jokes intended....John is my "Ultimate" he was just so in to playing . As you know he played with lots of great musicians and bands , this was just put up to show how much he was loved by so many and how incredible he sounded...being a Brit I didn't get many chances to catch his magic for real but I did twice with Man and once with Nick and those memories will never die ...

The Dead at their peak. There was a great band around that time playing around the Bay Area called the "Dinosaurs". Cipollina was lead, Robert Hunter on rhythm, Bill Kreutzmann on drums and some others (I think!!!). I love his sound.

Hot Damn! Love the summit meeting between the Dead and that Cippolina man!

Cippolina looks like half Keith Moon, half John Cleese but with long hair.

@jltardiff LOL you nuts ? I like Cipollina a lot , but he is not even half the guitar genius Jerry and actually Bob as well are.

[Tooindieforyou]

I actually could recognise Phil's bass. He's such a unique player

[jltardiff]

@unviciouscircle No Problem, I am just a HUGE QMS fan. Who knows what woulda/coulda/shoulda been. Cipollina was head and shoulders above most guitarists around back then. Jeez, what a shame when he died. He and Jerry were best of friends, I know that. Different styles.....Jerry so laid back....John liked to play those stinging leads......Miss em both! Damn.
