The Grateful Thread

[deadheadskier]

That is a long haul from the estate to Oxford. Phish Albany > Portland this wall wiped me out, but that was mainly due to Sunday Thanksgiving traffic. I doubt you'll experience as bad of traffic on the 4th.

I think it was a bad business move on Ken's part to wait until the 19th. I have Boston area friends that have already committed to Nateva over Vibes because they know at least some artists. Several Jersey friends who are doing Allgood over Vibes for the same reason. Oh well, his festival.

I'll have to work Monday, so Nateva is out for us.

Vibes, it somewhat depends. We do Strangecreek every year; much more our speed. Would like to get back there, but am tempted to invest in single Furthur and (hopefully) Phish shows instead.

One thing that stinks typing this out is that it makes me realize winter is winding down........

that's a hell of a show on paper...lawd have mercy...although one thing i learned during the good ol GD days is that it aint what they play, it's how they play it

 

[deadheadskier]

oh I certainly agree, but if they were 'on' and played a list like that? incredible.

Looks like I will be adding a show or two if all works out. I think the Vermont one may work now. I really want to see if there is a leg 2 and where it is first.

To each thier own, many have said that was the show of the tour so far.

Set list does not do it for me. Just the arrangement, Yes I like many of the jams. I want my eyes in 2nd set. I like the China rider to open the 2nd set. It works well as a closer as well. J straw seems to have moved out of the opener role. I liked it as an opener. Getting old and picky.

Got a message for GDTS look like tickets are selling big time for this. I am going to buy a Vermont ticket when they go on sale today from the venue. Not even sure if can go, but I want that option.

def prefer Jack opening and Eyes 2nd set. That show it's almost like they played 2 second sets, at least as far as later years 'format'. That said, I think it's pretty cool nowadays that it's somewhat like the early 70s where you can hear any tune at any point in the show.

Hopefully there is a nice second leg. Would love for them to play Meadowbrook.

Phil did say. We will be back here again. Two rumors I have heard are a big NY run and a mid west run. Time will tell.

I decided to hold off of VT after all.

Kind of all or nothing again. Mrs not sure of her plans. I can't just take off if I have kid and pet duty. I thought I could am today.

Maine and lowell only sure bets. Hopefully the vibes will have them on the list. I have my mind set on Herkimer and Vermont. That usually means I will get there one way or another.

vemont sold out quickly

 

[deadheadskier]

I believe the venue capacity is only 3K for VT. It's a bit earlier of a show. I'd imagine Higher Ground will go big for the after party. DSO would be cool

 

[Vortex]

I sent in a mo for VT and Herkimer. Looks ikek Vt is sold out, but will see. I just went ahead and did it.

Good interview... He gets out there.. I like it

 

[marcski]

Great interviews. As much as I like to give Bobby shit, he's still awesome. A true hippy through and through. Not many left.

Aw who has my vermont ticket?

I was impressed with his views and understanding of economics. I use to tell my family I have to miss some school to see the Dead.. know its I have to go to school to learn from the Dead. Holy field trip batman,. I have eased up on Bob.

I am glad 2012 will have a ski season as well.
