Grateful Dead

Gives out the commerative NYE tix. Ticket outlets give the standard tix. At least that was last year...

Fee? Seems to me I remember seeing that last year when getting my tickets thru ticket(talk about your greedy corporate bastards)tron. I don't got no stinking Commemorative Tickets from last NYE. Is that what's supposed to happen?

Please see this band.....you will like it!

Man I wish I was there!!!! I think you'll all enjoy this, if you really want to go furthur. Notice the all black attire for Steve Jobs and the nod from Phil @ the end of the set. Enjoya.

Now that I have all the set lists to look at and memory of the shows to go with it up until the last 4, I have to say that the band was grooving with the exception of the first set in the first show in Eugene when Bob cut it short. Everybody goes to shows for one thing or another. I go to dance and have a good time in the parking lot, meet a lot of new people. This tour was fun. Blue skies followed us everywhere and people were definitely into it. One of my pet peeves is cell/smart phones and though the die-hards were out there checking their phone a million times a night, MOST of the people were just enjoying themselves. I had the feeling that Furthur felt they had something to prove on this tour. Phil kept saying things from the stage after the shows that were sort of a declamation of surprise at the how they'd played that night. The crowd was strikingly different from the East Coast. There were a lot more older deadheads in the crowd. The younger generation was completely pushed back. It was funny to hear this 30-something year old going off on a rant about how you just couldn't be walking down the strip in Vegas without a plan trippin' balls! You had to have a plan! I have listened to the three shows of four I wasn't at and I don't think there was anything thesere more than 2-3 stars. They had to be getting tired, especially playing 5 of the last 5 in a row. However, credit where credit is due: Bobby & Phil were playing hard right down to the last song every show before. One last comment on the heads going to the shows and how they've changed. The people were very friendly out west and it was super-fun just to hang out. What is missing from the good old days? 1: Jerry! 2 We all were younger 3 We used to Wang Dang Doodle all night long It's a lot tamer now and there is a hell of a lot more white hair but you can still dance... I'll take it every time. Best of the Tour: Missoula The Joint @ Hard Rock Sat. @ Red Rocks Furthur is following me home for the tour opener in November.

In the Rain was crooned by Bobby on Friday evening.
