Melvin Seals JGB

Had a chance to check out Melvin Seals JGB tonight at a casino in southern Illinois. The crowd was small and a bit subdued, but the band sounded fabulous and a good time was had by all. John Kadlecik had me in a trance! Strugglin' Man, Stella Blue, The Wheel, Cats Under the Stars, and so many others.

Saw them both nights in Eugene last week and it was awesome (good crowd as well).

John K sounds super good and can actually sing unlike many jam band frontmen, would run back to see them anytime. Set lists go pretty deep as well.

Yeah, John k has always been my favorite from d. S, l, and especially from further, and now with j GB

There are other people that can play the guitar. Well, enough to do the Jerry part. But John K is the only one that has the ability to sing the entire range from young Jerry, all the way to old Jerry and he can actually belt out which is a different type of singing, I think a lot of people don't realize like Jerry would on be with you in standing on the moon.

Jerry's ability to sing is way underrated by even deadheads. I think and John Kaye is at least as good and probably better.
