  • band member substitutions

    From Orlando Enrique Fiol@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 4 15:24:30 2021
    As I've been enjoying the official Dead offerings on Youtube, I wondered: Have the Dead ever sporadically substituted one or more members due to illness or family emergencies?

    You mean like that time when Jerry was temporarily incapacitated by bad acid and they had Tiny Tim fill in for him?

    No, usually they would cancel the show. Except once when Jerry ate too much licorice and Bob had to sing all the songs.

    That was Jan 1978 and I was at that show.

    What!?
    I thought you were the "stand-in" Jerry!
    All I know is that you sing and play almost like Jerry.
    Aren't you the real John Mayer?
