Absolutely incredible JRAD show last night in #Durham. This band is fantastic and the musicianship is off the charts.

Reading Jesse's Pitchfork piece on Bobby gave me a way of thinking about the Dead I hadn't really considered, though it's completely obvious in retrospect.
Spent the whole Saturday JRAD show watching through this lens and it's quite clear that in that band Tom is the Bobby and Scott is the Jerry even though they sing the opposite's songs (and despite the fact that Tom sincerely believes himself to be the Jerry of the band).
Hey, got offered a ticket to the Cap so I went and I'd do it again, goddammit!
