LOL! I have to laugh at all the complaining and unfounded predictions of disaster, and laugh even more at so many so called deadheads seeming to know so little about Phish, phish heads, and Trey. It's comical. A majority of the bad things I saw in my 100 plus dead shows with Jerry had nothing to do with the Dead or it's real fans, and the majority of bad things I've seen during my 200 plus phish shows had little to do with Phish or real phish fans. The good experiences and good people far outweighed the negative. And I love how people somehow separate deadheads from phish heads when a large majority of phish heads are deadheads. The music is different, and need not be compared except that they are the two biggest improvisational jam bands. Copy and paste of a comment I posted on CID: "Wow. So much bitterness and negativity on the web. If any band, or members of a legendary band, deserve to go out on their own terms, it's the remaining members of the Grateful Dead. I don't think any other band has given back soooo much to their fan base in such an honest and open-minded fashion while at the same time having such a profound effect on American culture... let alone the positive effect on millions of people throughout the world. No matter what they did or where they played someone would be unhappy. Is Soldier Field in Chicago, the prices of everything, and the other musicians chosen to play in this tribute to the Grateful Dead perfect? Yes, because it's their choice. They've earned it. Either go to celebrate and create the best memories possible, or stay home and whine. Better yet if you don't like the details of this celebration, stay home and celebrate in way that makes you happy. Throw in Lyceum '72 or Colgate '77 or your favorite show and have your own private party. Even though I'm going to Chicago, I'm still going to plan another event to celebrate in my town. I'm just grateful that 20 years after my last GD show and the loss of Jerry that the core four are able to celebrate one last time. And for those of you complaining about Trey Anastasio, you're uneducated. He is a guitar virtuoso that is going to put his heart and soul into this tribute. It's no mistake that the boys picked Trey. It's going to be awesome, and it should be a downright joyous occasion. If you can't see that, you've probably lost the essence of what it means to be a deadhead." Idaho. 1/20 postmark. 2 highest priced tickets for each night. No rejection yet. Good luck to all those still without a rejection yet, and good luck getting tickets to those who didn't get mail order.
