Unpopular Opinion: I Can Not Get Into Brent Mydland

I’ve always felt like an outcast among fellow deadheads because I just can’t seem to get into Brent Mydland. I feel like 1970’s Dead before Mydland joined was better in part because he seemed so overpowering both on the keyboard and vocally.

I respect his work as an artist, so don’t take it as I don’t think he’s worthy of his reputation. But, I just don’t gravitate towards the Mydland era.

Maybe I’m missing something. What would be some good performances or shows that might change my mind? Does anyone else feel the same way?
