Grateful Dead

Ok truckin, I think you have made it clear how you feel in your numerous posts about how all the 'Deadheads' are going to be more saturated in SC than Chicago. Those who got Chicago tix, before there was even an idea of SC shows, are Dead Heads > old school heads, baby boomers, gen-xers, gen-y (millenniums)! They're Heads who have seen 300 + shows, 50 shows, or 1 show! There is going to be Heads who have been around with Jerry from the beginning and some who never had the pleasure of experiencing the GD w/ Jerry! And yes, there will be some that this will be their first GD experience [even if it is just to party with the Heads]. And trust me, it will be the same mix of Heads in SC too!! There are so many bands converging on Chicago to play around those shows that it is going to be the place to be man! Chicago is going to be over-run with DEAD HEADS and man it's going to be a blast! I'm going to see Kimock Jerry Tribute at House of Blues @ 3:00 on July 5th, then I'm heading over to the FINAL show at Soldier Field to cap off a long strange wkend! The 4th of July wkend only enhances it! US Blues baby!!! Chicago has already given permission for a Shakedown to be established, that gives our brothers and sisters a big time chance to peddle their wares. In most parts, everyone is there for the music and to pay homage to the boys (~);} So, there may be more Cali Heads in SC for the obvious reason, but if they are so-called true touring Dead Heads [which I'm assuming you are getting at], they aren't just going to SC! They are going to Chicago as well. The band has gone through many evolutions, as well as Deadheads. I know of many old school heads who did hundreds of shows and stopped when Jerry died and don't even listen to the music anymore, some who stayed and do a Phil & Friends or Rat Dog show from time to time, and then I have a young friend of mine that I turned on to GD music who has never seen the GD when Jerry was alive. He is driven by the music, but is a student of all things GD!! I can get into heavy and deep convos with him about the GD and it's like I'm talking to my fellow heads who have truly experienced it! Now, I would say YOU wouldn't consider him a 'Dead Head' if you met him as someone who doesn't wear hippy garb, wears dressy-casual [like Weir], short hair, and never seen GD w/ Jerry. But, I'll guarantee he is more of a head than some of those who have been on the scene for years! So, who are those Dead Head's that are going to saturate SC much more than Chicago?

A small amount of tickets I can see. Happens (or used to happen) all the time. I still check Chicago every now and again. But any kind of a general onsale through TM after claiming 65K through "mail order" and then doing an unannounced Levi's seat holder "pre-sale" immediately thereafter would be pretty hard to rationalize ... at least for me. I don't think it will happen. Of course, what I think or say is meaningless with regards to what will or will not transpire.

You never know. I have had situations where small amounts of tickets are released day of shows either at the box office for the venue or on ticketmaster(in the old days BASS) Would be worth a try??
