Right, I agree with that point but I'm saying the opposite.

My brother fits in the category you describe. Huge Mule, Crowes, etc. and he knows about DMB but doesn't care for them.

On the flipside, I also know plenty of DMB fans who don't know Phil Lesh from Phil Collins.

My point is that DMB gets a slice of the jam band audience but a larger slice of his crowd is made of people who are more likely to listen to Coldplay or something more pop-leaning.
