Grateful Dead

......For some its been dead since the summer of love, for others since Pig left the scene. For some others its anything after the 70's. For many it has ceased to exist post Jerry. Others find the magic where and when they can in whatever form it takes. One size does not fit all. Nothing stays the same. Discussion board yes. Difference in opinions…..I'm fine with that. No disrespect meant. Just tired of all the negativity and its bringing me down man…..its harshing my mellow. Call me stranger but to me this seems like a moment to celebrate….despite all the warts. For all the years and all the magic…..to celebrate the music and the tribe. Its been a while…..20 years…..but I seem to recall thats what the whole trip was about in the first place. And of course it doesn't matter if you are in the band or not…..we are all part of it and equally responsible for it. So why not make the trip as positive as we can? Perhaps it comes down to whether one is a glass half empty, or glass half full sort of chap? Perhaps I just need a break from ye ole discussion board…… Rock on, drop in……or tune out & retire to where the grass is greener. Wait a minute…..didn't Jerry say something about the grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter…….where? Just Rambling on….. Peace.

Waiting for the verdict on mail order is like the end of the Slipknot transition...the tension building is boiling over with excitement- I just hope this tune resolves with tickets in my mailbox! No rejection yet....Connecticut. 1/20 postmark. No artwork, just "please pick me :)". Four 7/4 95.50, Four 7/5 215.50 with split MO (95.50). Separate $25 Fedex. (I think those were the prices- I know I had them right when I sent them.) I haven't been this excited for a show in decades.

Peaks head this is a discussion board right? I mean we are free to discuss topics here without having to deal with being attacked for just having a difference of opinion, right? I'm glad you are able to go, if thats what you would like to do - awesome, more power to you, but you cannot deny that this whole thing just reeks of corporate cash grab disguised as a feel good send off - from what is reported in many circles the band really doesn't like each other any more and the organizer is known to charge fans like he is a sports agent trying to land his player an obscene contract. Plus a send off of what? Jerry is dead, the Grateful Dead are no more and many think that ended years before he died. In regards to quality of the music - I saw the Dead in '09 I believe it was, and it was not very good. I was charged an arm and a leg for nose bleed tickets just to here misplaced songs, very little playing together, and the drumming was slow. - I cannot imagine it would be better years later and at a higher price. Finally, check out the GD movie for the part of the two deadheads with the differing opinion of I think it was of people in the movie getting paid - the topic is not important but what is is the way they talked. They didn't snip at each other like little children or be passive aggressive by saying peace after they were done. They simply talked it over and agreed to disagree. I think its all about people sharing ideas - many differing - about a band they enjoy listening to very much - and this is a discussion board to do that. If not, whats the point of this board, just advertising?
