If Jerry was still around, and playing the way he was back in '94-'95, it might have had the opposite effect. The last few shows I saw you could see he was really just going through the motions. I remember one night he was dong particularly bad, off tempo, off key, forgetting the words(even with the teleprompters ). You could tell that Bob was seriously pissed off and a couple of times I thought he just might go over and pop Jerry in the jaw.

Then again, you could say that by that point he was essentially already dieing. So yeah, if he was still around, not doing heroin, and had his diabetes under control, then maybe..........

I do miss him
