Ripple fans: What do you think of the Jane’s Addiction version?

Dead Fans in general … what do you think of “Deadicated”?

Sacrilege or homage ?

Dedicated was OK…one must remember it came out when THE Garteful Dead were stilla Gruop…that is Jerry was still w/ us…

dedicated intro’d me to some new groups…and it was a kind and fitting tribute to the boys…

here in St Louis we have a group “Jakes Leg” that are 95% a dead cover band (though it can be said that the dead was 50% a cover band but i digress…) Jakes has been togetjher since early 70’s and are STILL packing them in…
