His brilliance is often understated.....same with Garcia.  You don't really hear any sizzling solos from Jerry, but if you pick up on all of the subtle nuances throughout a Dead song, you'll get a different picture--especially live performances.

Both players are part of an overall visceral sonic production....Floyd being cutting edge for its time, and the Dead being a collection of so many talented musicians, melodies, etc.  They often get overlooked because of the grand production of their bands, but they were both integral to each group.  Gilmour is a great blues infused soloist in my opinion, and Jerry could play ANYTHING with strings, and play it well.
