How good was Bill Kreutzmann, the Dead's drummer?

He was this good.

Imagine, for a moment, back in 1969, and you're drumming for a clearly LSD-infused group of musical magicians. Your job is to keep order in the the musical chaos.

Not impressed.

IMHO. the whole understructure of the Dead's sound was Bill and Phil. They directed the direction that Bob, Jerry, Ron, Keith, Brent, and others followed. Just my uninformed opinion.
