The Grateful Thread

[Vortex]

Picked up a Hartford ticket. I listened to some of Spac last night. Did not sound a good as Camden.

Donna Ruins Every Playin' In The Band

Never really understood why they let her in the band.

Never really understood why they let her in the band.

Because with headphones or a less loud stage - she's an amazing singer...
She crushed in JGB.... And with Elvis Presley

 

[deadheadskier]

Pretty amazing how tone deaf she could be at times (almost always on Playin'), but then she redeems herself by killing it on Looks Like Rain like this one.....

Straight up Bobby and Donna porno on stage. :Lol:

I just think she didn't do well singing with Jerry in the bigger venues. She held up fine with Bobby. My .02.

Hitting D and C this Saturday. Have to give up my tix to Phish at spac if anyone is looking for extras I'll give them away for 45 and eat the service fees.

Trying to catch up with Phish at Hartford.

Never followed GD but saw at least a dozen shows from 1970 - 1990 and always thought they were better without Donna.

That said, it looks like we may be heading to the Cit Field show Sunday. Many tickets still available and prices are dropping more every day. Thinking of just heading down and seeing what we can score outside the stadium... Can always grab some from stub hub on our phones as well. Seats in infield boxes now going for around $50. On the field is still too expensive for me.

Donna is sitting in again tonight at Citi field. Show sounds good so far.

So we just got some field box seats for a fraction of the original price. Just hope I don't hear, "your body is a wonderland" every time Mayer opens his mouth.

Gotta say Dead & Company were just great last night! I have to admit I kind of didn't want to like Mayer but he won me over 3 or 4 songs in and did not disappoint the rest of the evening. Oteil sounded incredible as well.

 

[Funky_Catskills]

cool.... I listened... Still slow... Vocals still sound like Dave Mathews.. Still no Phil...
Still wouldn't go... But super glad people who never saw Jerry or are big Bobby/Fratdog fans are now getting a chance to enjoy the Grateful Dead spectacle even though it lacks in many ways and is NOT the Grateful Dead... It's Fratdog on steroids...

 

[crank]

lol. I didn't miss Phil. Liked Dead and Co a lot better than PAF. My first Dead show was at the Cap in 1970 so I have seen many iterations over the years though was never a true follower. Dead and CO is a far cry from rat Dog and is, in my experience, the best post GD project I have seen.

 

[Funky_Catskills]

That's the big difference between me and a lot of "deadheads"...
I love and miss Phil dearly... I have been a true follower since my first show in 79... I was squarely in the PhilZone on the 80s...


Dead and Company share many properties of Ratdog.. Arrangements and tempos to start with.. That's just what I hear and feel..

I have not been able to see any members of the Grateful Dead after the amazing GD50 experience..
This September - I'm going to see Phil CRUSH Coney Island.... It's my thing... It's a good thing...
