Any beta from AC last night??

Heard it was a great show. Great pic of Bobby and Phil from the show

Phil - Way to not pass out dude...
Bobby - I know I know...

I was there Sat night. Bobby was very good. Doing that rag and Cosmic Charlie were highlights for me.
I was suprised the builiding was almost full. Weather was perfect. No OMSN. Encore was touch of Gray. Need some rest.

Bob's apparently checked into rehab

I don't know if it's for substance abuse or other health related issues. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised they put the info out there at all. Now the rumor mill will only get cranked up because there are no specifics. IMO if he's heading to rehab, they should just keep quiet about it as it's a private matter.

I'm not holding the above as gospel as there's no confirmation anywhere else but Furthur's Facebook page.

I just hope he gets the treatment he needs. It non of my business what he is in for, if it is rehab that is very hard and your never cured but at least it positive in the right direction.

There is some question to the validity of the Facebook post. Its not an official site of Furthur.

He needs some help one way of another. I bought Phili Furthur tickets on the Frontgate pre sale yesterday. not sure if there is anything left. I got front row in the balcony. I will sit on the lawn, but wanted a dry option if its rains. Ticketmaster pre sale is Thursday and full on sale is Friday. This is the same weekend as Phish at Merriweather. Be interesting to see how the crowds sperate.

I see that Furthur is listed as Sat now at allgood on July 20th. Also at the vibes it was confirmed Phil and Friends on Friday and Sat. If i read it correct Furhur may not be the closer on Sat night. Some mystery band will close Sat night .Looks like a contract issue probably with MTN jam. Maybe Widespread panic. Good summer shaping up.

Yes... I agree...


Also as a person that attends 10+ Phish shows a year...
And a fair share of PHil/Furthur shows..

The Phish/Dead crowd seems to be different birds these days.. I got not so positive comments on my Phish shirt at the Furthur show...
Basic difference is age... i don't feel old up front at Furthur... At Phish - I'm as old as the band.. haha..

 

[dmc]

uh oh...


"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Furthur regretfully will be unable to appear as scheduled at BottleRock Napa Valley on Thursday, May 9. Grateful Dead & Furthur Co-Founder Bob Weir is unable to perform in any capacity for the next several weeks.

Furthur featuring Phil Lesh & Bob Weir look forward to returning to the road as scheduled on July 11 in Brooklyn for their Summer tour, which carries them through early October on the West Coast"

(((Bobby)))

Everyone's saying rehab... But... Is that only a month?

Maybe he's going to detox... Or maybe he's having a medical procedure for his shoulder...

 

[marcski]

I'm certain more info will follow...little info causes conjecture.

 

[dmc]

Deadheads have him in rehab with a drug problem..

It may be that.. But I'm not sure...

 

[Vortex]

Looks like the Facebook post might have had it right, but not what the band or Bobby wanted put out. If is was just his shoulder I think that would have been the post from Bobby, Furthur and everyone else. that is my take. I think he needs to be left alone buy us and helped by professionals. Get Well Bob.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. It could be pills related to his shoulder....? In any event...Get well...I'd much rather see him rest for as long as he needs and skip a round of shows than read about him the next morning like we have so many others... .

 

[dmc]

Well.. most likely.. but still.. Not sure..
i just worry... nothing makes sense...

 

[ScottySkis]

Just hope he recovers quickly recovery from what ever it is.

Phil and TFB are playing a midnight ramble the night before they play Mountain Jam. Also tix go on sale I think Friday for phil and friends at the cap in July.

 

[dmc]

I'd LOVE to hit that Ramble... But I'll be ensconced in the Mtn Jam insanity.. Watching Govt. Mule....
