Gary Brown, played defense when needed, played offense when needed. I might add played very well at both. He also had a very good Pro career. I will never forget the Ty Detmar strip!!
Well, that sucks! I saw the Dead many times, most notably in 1973 with the Allman Brothers for 2 days in Washing D.C. I always felt that Phil was under valued as a bass player but that dude could tear it up. R.I.P.
