I'm fine with Here on Out and When I'm Weary as Dave solo tracks. They do add variety to the album, but they also stand on their own as some of the better songs on the album. I'm a fan of songs having that string accompaniment. I don't know that they deserve the criticism just for being Dave-only. I don't want to compare DMB to the Beatles, but it feels reactionary like opposing Yesterday or Blackbird for being Paul solo on a Beatles album. If the song's good and it works within the album, it doesn't matter as much who isn't on it. But TGIY as Dave only - I gotta agree it is lame that this was Dave only when it could have been improved by the other band members.
