Grateful Dead

Do you really think the Dead could match an opening act that is this vibrant and fresh? (this is a neutral question folks so don't give me a hard time, address the question, thanks) If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

`Hey, old hippie. Look up. I'm in the Netherlands, too. A friend and I are flying Stateside for DC, Charlottesville, and Albany . . .

Yes, we come!!As we live in Holland we have never attended a Grateful Dead show. Not around in 1972 nor later. The closest was watching the Rock Palast show live on TV. We often say how much we would like to have been part of the audience. This time we got the news in time. One show would be in Chicago where my brother lives. I decided to try to buy tickets and we could combine a family visit with a Dead show. We got our tickets. I still used the excuse that I could always sell them if we decided not to fly to the States. But when we got the final mail that was not an option anymore. This will be our chance to see the four remaining band members play together. The flight is booked already We are so thrilled!!! We will be in Chicago from Sunday May 3 until Saturday May 9. Are there any Dead Heads who would like to meet a couple (in their 50's) from Holland? I will check my mail. Everybody else: Have fun! Ship of Fools

I've been avoiding this forum the past couple of days due to bad vibes when so buzzing. It's nice to see peace here again! As for an opening act, any or none will do. But I did notice when clicking on shows attended that opening acts refresh my attendance memory. Remember when the Violent Femmes opened in Ohio? Wow. It was so cool to see the few cross over Femme Heads dancing (was I or wasn't I?) . . .

been to 40 shows and looking forward to two more @ the dcu center in worcester yippee happy new year everyone

I've always wanted to see Yonder Mountain SB. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -enjoyin' the ride -There'll never be another Jerry

But if there was going to be an opener I say Yonder Mountain String Band - those boys rock. One show I saw they played Lady with a Fan it was so damn good, sent chills up my spine. I personally wish Steve Kimock was playing guitar but I suppose they need someone else who can pitch in on the singing.
