Love your work Carla! Awesome detail. Brent was my favorite as well. Very distinct voice and keys. I am still saddened on his death. I've read on the aspect of his failing marriage and dealing with kids. I just know he is watching his daughter every time I hear the song "I will take you home." I wish he was still here to sing it to her.
Love you Brent.
A dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago...

Not a Better Keyboard Player They Had

Previous post was right....Brent was the fire in the band many a night. Just like Jerry, I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news...sounds odd, but never went to another Dead show after that...just JGB shows. I get chills and tears whenever I hear "I Will Take You Home" cause it makes me think of the photo of him and his little girl (mid 20's now?) sitting on stage on the piano stool together. Miss ya Brent!
..even a blind man knows when the sun is shinin'...you can feel it!..
Got that right....

.....But not forgotten!
Brents memorial and my birthday are the same.
Perhaps it helps to explain why I always felt such a connection to his playing & his music......and to this day still gives me the chills.
Don't believe the band ever sounded better while he was in the mix.
What can one say? ....... fare thee well
a little light

What Brent brought to the band, wow. He was an artist. Yes he was the best keyboard player and all that. But far beyond technical prowess or any of the competitive crap .He was way beyond any of that nonsense. His voice and expressive honesty was genuine. Musically he brought a dimensional layer to every song that made it real and alive. It was a layer I am not sure all were comfortable with. He was there in a very shy way taking everyone further. He used his voice as an instrument to extend everyone’s range and added superb yet subtle complexity to everything .You know Jerry knew it .I think everyone knew it .
He could not be replaced. His loss was so damn tragic
in the zone and not phil's

Brent & Jerry, Jerry & Brent. I know there are a lot of people out there that don't appreciate Brent. Well, I got news for you, Brent gave Jerry what he needed. If you were lucky enough to see The Band from 88 to 90 you should know what I mean and if you don't you were too high or you haven't seen the videos'. Brent rocked Jerry and Jerry rocked Brent. They had a connection that Bobby wished he had with JG. I watch the videos' and it gives me chills to see how happy Jerry is playing with someone as talented as Mydland. Yes, he is similar when playing with Hornesby, but Brent was there for over 10 years and JG loved him. As much as I love 77 and 73 my favorite thing to see is JG smile and look at Brent and jam on
