Grateful Dead

I suppose your statement is more about the whole thing and how it´s been blown out of proportion. Personally i´m aware that it can´t even be close to how a Grateful show actually was, or a tour for that matter, but for me it will be as close as it gets. With the big difference that compared to seeing Ratdog or any other combination of G.D musicians is that this time you know there will be three days of celebration of their music. no Festival, no other bands, Just them! I´ve been lucky for many musical moments and concerts in my life but only getting into GD these last two years and being sure that i´ll never see them together again since Garcia went. Makes this really special for me. And also over a 4th of July weekend in Chicago, man do you understand how exotic that is for a guy from Sweden :) I don´t see how they should have done it so that some of you don´t feel disappointed, ticket prices are same as many groups playing stadiums! After this summer when I for one weekend have been surrounded by 60 000 Dead heads and some live Dead music. Everything will be different when I go back to my record collection listening to all those classic Dead tours. Actually just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. e.

First, they have been playing together since 95 in one name or another. Second, there is no more Grateful Dead, as it was once known. It is wrong that it was billed this way, causing every person in the world to think they will suddenly see a grateful dead show. These shows are no different than the countless other one's, the dead, furthur, etc., that has been going on since 95. The way this has taken off is really amazing. It is also sad for the true fans, that have never stopped supporting the band. We will be the ones who either miss the show, or pay thousands of $ to stub hub for tickets. I dont mean to rain on your parade, just want to be the voice of reality for someone who is expecting the Grateful dead to be resurected and play 3 more shows. Where were all of these deadheads when Furthur, and the dead were playing in small venues. A lot of this is marketing, and social media frenzy.

I have the same questions as you, I´ve registered for the 12th and the pre-sale but I haven´t received any confirmation that I´m actually registered? Anyone having the same experience through the Axs site? Other than that i only got onto the bus 18 month ago and am so dreaming of hearing the roar when they enter Soldier Fields the 3rd of July. I´m flying out of Copenhagen and plan on camping in the parking lot (if the city of Chicago actually decides that it will be ok, otherwise we´ll see :) Hope to meet a lot of you friendly souls out there over that amazing weekend!! e.
