Grateful Dead

WOOOOWEEEEAAIIIIIIIIYIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phatmoye

Great stuff! "If your dreams die,you die"

I thought Bobby said that alot during shows because he was so strung out on coke in the late 70s early 80s? "If you all just take a step back, your friends up front won't look so horribly bug eyed" LOL, but yes, dangerous behaviour was not the deads intensions at all. I don't agree with all the nitrous balloons in the lot (because, lets face it, its flamable) but as far as everything else goes, the parking lot is what turned me on to the dead. I never knew of the underground hippy world till I went to my 1st show in 91, and guess what? I STARTED IN THE PARKING LOT, Now don't get me wrong, if I had a choice to stay in the lot or see the show, id take the show, hands down.Phatmoye

1st - regarding Fire on the Mountain "rap" - listen to the Rolling Thunder LP version - I think that's the first place it appeared - Mickey "raps" on it there.2nd - about Jerry never telling people what to - ever hear him (and the “Other Ones” ;) tell people to back up from the stage? Dangerous behavior which might hurt people is not part of the trip, in the show or in the parking lot. Also – my vote is for a summer tour at outdoor venues with opening acts like maybe Blitzen Trapper, Umphrey’s McGee and an acoustic set by Robert Hunter which could morph into an opening acoustic set with boys… just pipe dreamin’ ...

Hey all, just seen that there was 1,666 replies on this topic. I didn't like the number so I thought i'd post a coment to change it.Phatmoye

I read some complaints about ticket prices. I am not talking about the sharks but the official price of about $ 100,- We thought that was very expensive. We live in Holland and we just bought tickets for a concert of Ry Cooder and Nick Lowe. We had to pay $ 160 per ticket. I thought that was expensive. Then I realized that we paid only 2/3 of that price for a concert of the Dead. That put this price in a different perspective. Ship of Fools

Wow some pretty powerful stuff Drumhead....I'd say, I follow that tour ;-)____________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Parking lot owned by venue owner. Too much trouble (to the Man's eyes) in parking lot and too much media about what goes on and too much publicity and pressure put on venue owner maybe not to have band around or other events and venue owners tell this to band. I can't imagine that parking lots have been declared a free zone where anything goes. We did have it good in many places though. It's all politics and business even if you hate politics and business. The Dead are a business and work in a political world with rules and laws and pressures. After we leave the venue owners still need to deal with the local power system long after we are gone and they are going to want to not have big hassles with that system and to keep having music events to make $. reality can suck If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
