The Grateful Thread

kind of a shame that kreutzmann feels the need to be a turd in the punchbowl...i was surprised at how much i liked further...low expectations ftw..i liked them better than any other post-jerry incarnation of the band...thought john k did a fine job ape-ing jerry's lines, but if he wasn't doing that, i don't think he would appeal to me at all as a musician

i thought the GD kicked ass from 89-91, but was always a bigger fan of jgb as opposed to the dead...much more consistent and energetic, right up until the end...better venues too...nothing like jerry at the warfield...waitress service on the floor...ice cold sierras at the set break...fuck and yes...i miss that

tis the season for one of my all time favorite shows. I think I will revisit on the way home. ohhhhh sooo gooooodd Happy F....ing New Year Ha Ha I'm sure that hint will help

that third set is a hall of famer

I used to be more of a Jerry fan years ago, However, I really liked seeing Warren Haynes with the dead. I felt like he had the ability to take control and steer the band but was forcing more of that role onto others, specifically Weir. It was not always the best music wise, but created an interesting dynamic and allowed me to hear much more of Weir's playing than I ever did with Jerry. Plus I love Warren's bluesy, southern rock sound.

Have to admit I have not been to see Further or DSO and don 't have a ton of interest either.

I got to meet and talk to Bill last night in NYC...
Told him I agreed with him on Furthur... He laughed about it...haha...

So Bill was really cool... And really engaging... Tried to buy him a beer but he said he got em for free...
Told him he was a jazz influence to me - he dug that. He generally seemed interested in what I had to say - even though it was 330am and I was staggering... haha..

Great guy!!! Hurley from Lost was there too - but he seemed to be avoiding people..

Pre sale on frontgate today and Mo first day. Many shows only two tickets for Mo. I am trying pre sale with mo already written up if I need to go to plan B. We will see. Just Boston for me. Taking many days off to ski, the vibes weekend and x-mass week again. time off goes fast.

going to cut back and just do the Orlando show while were on vacation. Maybe I'll catch more on summer tour. It's basically $200 a night for the wife and I to go with modest F&B purchases and no hotel. Getting harder for me to justify doing multiple nights per tour.

Thinking aobut going to see the Hampton show..

4/1 right?

no luck on the presale. went to the post office.

same here, but didn't bother with MO...was trying for radio city...will try my luck next friday

those presale tickets sure went fast...must not have been too many allotted

 

[Vortex]

Just a tease. Just trying to hedge my bet. RCMC will be the shows to see of this tour.

 

[deadheadskier]

I took a break from skiing Pats on Friday to try and score tickets for Orlando. I only could pull singles, so I'll be going the ticketmaster route when they go on sale.

 

[ZYDECORICH]

seems right for tonight...

got 3 for friday night at radio city...never been there before...looking forward to seeing a show there

Never been to Radio City as well. I'm sure it's amazing. Something about a historic hall that has had so many historic performances inspires all who plays on that stage. Hopefully someday....

pulled my 2 philzone seats for Orlando in April. pysched because it means my wife and I get to have 'our kind of fun' for a night while visiting my folks in Florida.

Radio City is a fabulous hall. In addition to what you said, it also has beautiful acoustics....

 

[deadheadskier]

damn budget! :lol:

It's the shti for sure... most bands consider it to be a big gig and blow it..

Saw Phish do a 2 day run there - not the best shows they ever did..

Was also at one of the pre halloween 1980 shows the GD did.. But - other then being there - I don't remember much.

It's going to be a good time for sure..
