Just like real life, dead and co are gonna keep trucking on based on the legacy of the grateful dead.
I haven’t seen a show by every band on this list (though I did watch videos of all of them when voting earlier in this poll), but for better or worse Dead & Co. is still the best one I’ve seen out of everyone in the list.

Not a knock on them, I just think it's kinda funny. Ive seen all of them except turkuaz and goose through the years. These three are the ones I'm most interested in these days.

The knock on them for me is that they've been together for like six years and have released no new music. Not that Phish's new output is groundbreaking but they're still working. They still sound great but they're a tribute band featuring some original members at this point. Nothing wrong with that but if we're knocking Mule out because some of their most compelling music is covers then I think it's fair to dock Dead & Co for the same.

Bob Weir is still in the band and wrote some great songs for the Dead, not really fair to say he’s covering his own songs.
and while chimenti isn't an original member, he's been playing with some form of The Dead for what, 20 plus years? Maybe even 25. That's longer than pigpen, the godchauxs, hornsby, or brent was in the band. and he's like a walking Grateful Dead encyclopedia.
i thought o'teil played with The Other Ones or The Dead at some point but i guess he was doing ABB during that time. i love o'teil though.
the Grateful Dead are such a unique institution. hard to compare their legacy to any other band.
yeah, like, new order is still releasing pretty decent new music but also they pretty much play the same 15 classic songs every time and I’ll still try to catch them every chance I get.

new order is my second favorite band of all time and i've never seen them live.
that last album was pretty damn good. i think they're just natural songwriters.

i don't consider DeadCo a cover band though. Like, JRAD is a Dead cover band, DeadCo is just the latest iteration of whatever the Grateful Dead became (The Other Ones/the Dead/Further/DeadCo). And my knock on Mule had nothing to do with them playing covers, it's just that they're kind of boring overall.

I get to see them with Pet Shop Boys next September. Firsts for both.
I get that they're not a traditional cover band and that they have a decent amount of core members of the band. That comes across as more of a knock than I meant.
But they are also missing Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia, still performing songs from their parts of the catalog, and not producing new music. They exist solely to present the music of a different band (at least legally speaking).
That said, I'm not disputing their spot in the finals. I just see the argument for Phish beating them out.

oh, Phish is absolutely the winner. like DeadCo is great, but it's 100% a nostalgia act, whereas Phish is actively creating and still doing so at a relatively high level.

“Well actually it’s better to fade away than burn out”
they've all put out solo music though, feels like bob just doesn't want to potentially tarnish the band by putting out some album to play songs no one's going to care to hear live really

personally i think DeadCo should start incorporating some Johnny Salami tunes into their sets
This poll suggests that the Goose crowd would have rivaled MMJ crowd. And ya I know Covid and mmj blah blah blah. So much Covid fatigue. Don’t tell my buddy BeachBob but even Doobie Brothers are cancelling shows now.
