Bill Kreutzmann Musician Quotations

It's not the same without Jerry. It never will be.

Well, to tell you the straight honest truth, it was like a Grateful Dead cover band. I didn't feel - and nothing against the guys - I didn't feel that they were opening up like they should. I'll tell you what, with guitar players, Steven has what I like in guitar players.

When Garcia died, and I decided not to play, I came out here.

In the very beginning we were a real tight family but now it's different. You know, toward the end, we had separate limos, stuff like that. It's hard to get six giant egos in the same place.

I mean, when it gets down to it I just wanted to play the drums. The rest of it never meant that much to me.

I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't fun. It's just a whole different thing these days.

Oh yeah, it's great see music and to play music in small places. And it's really fun for me to play here because, you know, I played two feet from people all night. And after all those years, it's great to be able to talk to folks.

I actually heard from some deadheads that we had the night. They went over to the Kaiser and then they left and came to our gig. It was sweet.
