Bill Kreutzmann American Musician Quotations

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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