Karan is unparalleled
Karan is a great guitar player . The best moments i remember of him from 98 was in Charlotte soloing in Walkin B s & Loser . He was just massive . Those were also the 1st times Phil would play those songs live since
Its intriguing how he takes the tone or note playing question into something that you may or not may see as he does .
- I was amazed at the Ratdog songs . Weather report is so welll performed . Money for gas is great . And T bed has solid contributions from Chimenti ( !! ] , Karan . The bass player , and Bobby . Just spectacular . Karan can hold his own , and he - or S Kimock , i havent heard Eric Campbell yet - are excellent guitarists that can come close to a respectable level , of playing what Jerry did as
It d be interesting to hear his solo band . But its on the Dead tunes - up to now - that he blows anyone away
