An interesting post on how he might have made his choices, and how he came to his choices. Given the right band, he could well have shone once more. I didn't forsee the Keith and Donna firings , one figured they would continue "status quo". I know his playing went downhill later, but I prefer to listen to the beautiful performances.I appreciated Donna for her beauty and soulfulness, but I truly couldn't understand how the rest of the band could put up with the sound of her screeching. Not being plugged into any gossip stream I was shocked that Keith and Donna had been fired, mostly because I didn't think anybody had the guts. After a perfunctory 1st set there is rousing Good Lovin', a touching (and rare) From the Heart of Me, a delicate Ship of Fools and a spooky Other One. Shortly after her husband's death in 1980, she married In 2009, Donna Jean formed a brand new band, the Donna Jean Godchaux Band, with Donna Godchaux was a member of the Grateful Dead from 1972 to 1979 and appears on many of the band's albums.Donna Godchaux (née Donna Thatcher) has contributed background or lead vocals on many albums by different artists.Godchaux singing with her band, November 6, 2009, Blacksburg, Virginia One thing I do recall, however, was how fragmentary the dissemination of information was at the time. Donna's studio singing and her performances with the Jerry Garcia Band were a different story altogether. Though I saw the bulk of my shows with Brent on keys, I had many issues with his style. It was actually more surprising when a story turned out to be true. I used to chalk it up to the psychology term "classical conditioning," meaning I would hear Donna and immediately get excited because that meant it was the Dead at their best. Donna Jean Godchaux. When the Dead were in a malaise Brent always picked there to pick them up....but I think Keith sometimes gets short shrift because he was such an inward personality and because he basically didn't sing with the GD. The rest of the band usually projected a positive vibe, at least among themselves. Listening to the Winterland CD, the first example of that time I heard, I was struck that there is little of that amazing musicianship that he had previously shown. Brent was a welcome relief and I have no real opinion on Vince. By submitting my information, I agree to receive personalized updates and marketing messages about Grateful Dead based on my information, interests, activities, website visits and device data and in accordance with the Their next appearance at our local venue was January 79, another rocker. I will agree to disagree.I saw the February 17 show, and for me it was a terrific show. I've come to love him so much more as time has past and the band from 1971 - 1977 is my favorite time. During their membership in the Grateful Dead, the couple also issued the mostly self-written Donna did not perform again with any Grateful Dead band members until after the death of Jerry Garcia. He said that he realized that he was playing the song in a different key - the key he would play it in when playing in Donna's band. And of course the Closing Of Winterland New Year's show. Utica). When Brent came, we got a hot one right away in Baltimore in early May, and by September (MSG) and October (Cape Cod) we were pretty sure everything would be cool.I will state up-front that I am not a big fan of donna, but as a musician I can say that she had some very good moments nailing the harmony parts with the rest of the band. Then, of course, there's the matter of his death, not just a personal tragedy for his family and friends but for those who appreciated him through his music. January highlights, I think, were both Garden and Nassau shows, Springfield, and New Haven, or at least these had at least a few great moments and spurts. I suppose drug issues among Keith and other band members led to the dropoff (to my ears) in 78 but I really enjoyed the jazz element he brought to the band right out of the gate.As for Donna, I'm a big, big fan.
