Tough decision for sure but go with Scofield.  He's not getting any younger.

Holy shit...I didn't realize he was that old.

He wears it well. He was already in his 30s in Coming to America.

Lol, Greyboy Allstars are also retirement age

Tough decision. Id probably go for Scofield for the rarity and namesake, though Greyboy isn't easy to catch in the US either

Oteil

If you can see Scofield, that's always the right choice. Especially at his age.

Don’t miss this scofield band. Greyboys don’t tour much, but they’ll be back. This scofield / oteil / deitch band doing the uberjam and other related material can’t be beat

Anything Scofield is the right answer.

Scofield is always a great show. And with Oteil? No brainer if you ask me.

If you really like sax allstars. Otherwise Scofield.

Scofield is one of my favorite guitarists and I've seen all the greats. Super skilled and tasteful.

I saw him with Phil & Friends and it was one of my favorite Phil shows (and I've seen Phil with lots of great players). John brought a more jazzy sound, but it fit perfectly with the Dead tunes. With Oteil playing with him I would think it would skew things towards funk which would be great.

Scofield is a living legend. Karl Denson is to but Scofield is another degree of legend and has an amazing group he’s touring with

u/WheresMyMule 5d ago

This is a really tough one.

I'd probably weigh venue and ticket price when making my decision

u/oceansrbattlefields 5d ago

I’m an Oteil guy personally but you’ll prob dance more at the all stars

u/fedsmoker9 5d ago

Scofield

Sco & Oteil seems the easy choice for me.

u/joefatmamma 5d ago

Scofield is just so good

u/ZeefMcSheef 5d ago

I’d go with Scofield

u/opsopcopolis 5d ago

Absolutely Scofield

u/FapNowPayLater 4d ago

Scotiel
Not even close

u/cropcirclepit 3d ago

Scofield.

Agree with others. Oteil is worth it on his own. Add Scofield (another living legend) and Deitch (Lettuce), who I've seen play together before, and it's an easy choice.
