Grateful Dead

I bought tix to Sunday's show at the movie theatre. I never was smart enough to go see the band live so at least I will get this experience to enjoy. It's something!The lady at the box office said there haven't been many tix sold so we can stretch out and relax. Hope everyone that goes in the flesh has a superb time

Excellent weather forecast for Chicago. Wonderful as we weren't sure what to expect as it was a rainy June for the Great Lakes region. Sorry to hear your pass fell through Direwulf and especially the circumstances with the friend of your friend. My sincere hope is for a positive environment all weekend. I saw that they pushed back the outdoor lots opening to 3 p.m., but are prepared to open earlier if needed-- I think it will be needed. I have one friend making the trek without a ticket for the Friday night gig-- hope to find one. I don't think there will be many cover songs-- other than traditional GD arranged tunes, such as NFA, GDTRFB, etc... The only covers last weekend fall into that category, with Lovelight, Morning Dew, Viola Lee. I wish Bobby would do a Pigpen rap just once during Lovelight-- "Get yo' hands out of your pockets..." I am sure there will be songs repeated from SC, but plenty of nuggets left unmined-- China/Rider, Scarlet/Fire, Help/Slipknot/Franklin's, Weather Report, Playin', Terrapin. And those are just second set tunes! Can't wait-- in 24 hours I will be heading down to the show.

Fri., Sat., & Sun. high 79 deg.to 83 deg. lows 60's. Lets treat everybody like family. Have fun.
