Bill Kreutzmann appreciation thread.

Just want to give a shoutout to the last surviving original member of the Grateful Dead....Bill Kreutzmann;

It was his keeping the beat that made me pay attention to this band. I heard this LP in 1971. I think it was this song that perfectly expresses Bill's absolute perfect time at keeping a band within bounds.

Feel free to include your favorite BK drumming moment.


PS. not to insult Micky Hart....he's contributed to the Dead's rhythm from way back.
