@rudyj2 You are so right. It was the beginning of the end. IMO the 80's, especially the latter years were the golden age of GD. Brent was the real deal on the ivories, Jerry was at the top of his game, the band was the tightest it had ever been. The good old days. Thanks for sharing

@otisflywheel420 Thumbs up! I saw 120 shows from '85 to '90. Forever Grateful for the time I spent with the boys.

@otisflywheel420 Blow Away is great, I will give you that. The passion put into that song really blows me away (pun intended). As for Donna, I was referring to '72-74 Donna where her vocals weren't bad in so far as her voice was bad, but she was completely off key 90% of the time. Brent's singing definitely grew on me though. When I first heard him singing I thought it was a cat being stepped on or something. Not tryin to ruffle feathers! It's all the dead to me. The music is love, spread it :)

Brent was awesome. The day he died I knew my trip was over and I only saw a few more shows after that. That said I have been truly enjoying Furthur lately.

@Kefka0630 Best keyboardist? YES. And come on, Tons of Steel and Blow Away are great tunes. I also like Donna's voice, as well as Vince and Brent. You say bad 80's pop I say he had a thing for songs that laid his personal life out for us to see and relate to. Either about his daughter or his relationship with his wife. He was a friend of mine....

In the vids with Brent you could see the respect and admiration in his eyes when he looks at Jerry =) AMAZING SHOWS and wish I could've been to at least one but I got as far as the parking lot at Soldiers Field (I want to say either 92' or 93') and that was just an epic party I will never forget! RIP JERRY AND BRENT =)

[Kefka0630]

Brent was the best keyboardist they ever had and his presence was definitely missed in the last years. He gave Jerry the spark of inspiration over and over and truly created some of the most magical music of their entire performing career. RIP Brent. That said, Easy To Love You, Far From Me, Tons of Steel are some of the most abysmal pieces of crap I've ever had the displeasure of subjecting my ears to. He had a taste for bad 80s pop sadly.

Also, I'd take Donna over Brent's singing any day...

Wow what an unexpectedly great performance! Brent brought a lot of energy and played off of Jerry very well, as well as Jerry played off of Brent! This is a stellar performance!

Brent was the bomb. Period. So unfortunate that he wasn't truly appreciated by the "real" heads through most of the 80s.
