Generally, my limited
Generally, my limited experience with this band has been that 1st sets are often throwaways, but it's hard to argue with that first set.
I listened to a bit of Dark Star & Fire, and as usual I thought that Mayer was really good, as were the other non-GD members.
John Mayer really has this GD thing dialed, and Chimenti & Oteil are both excellent. At his age Bob is still admirably good, but either way, put a good rhythm guitar player who can sing and a really good drummer or two with the "Co." guys and you have a damn good band.
As it is, despite the drummers rather sad decrepitude and Weir's tempos, this band is still often good to really good, but it's really the "Co." in Dead & Co. that works in this outfit.

If you're speaking about how "polished" they might look on average, then maybe you're not wrong; however, as a portal to that "special place", you couldn't be more wrong IMO.
Finding said "magic" might be fewer and furthur between these days, but the slower tempos are what's allowing Robert Hall Weir to still tap into his gift.
Would you have "stand ins" for one's parents when they reached their golden years ... all because you dodn't have the patience to listen more closely to their frazzled voices and what might be more circuitous trains of thought?
Having said that, there's definitely a limit to how many D&C shows I'll see in a row. The "additional" third show in Boulder is pushing it.

The tempos are a choice just
The tempos are a choice just like Victim, learning slide guitar on stage, and his guitar tone were choices. He doesn't play slow because he can't play normal he plays slow because for whatever reason - that is what speaks to him now. Even during a Dead Co show by the end they are usually back to normal tempos, and he played normal tempos just fine with Dark Star last year. I don't understand it and I think it was a wasted opportunity over the last five years, but it's his band he gets to do what he wants. I don't think the audience is the problem. The tempos are unpleasant and it is OK to say that. All that said they do have their moments which makes all the rest of it frustrating.
