Grateful Dead

the best performance from night 3 was "throwing stones". if thats not on here those in charge don't know dick. -----

Any guesses as what's going to be on this? Looks like it's only going to be two CD's so not a whole lot of room. I'd be happy with the first night minus Drums and New Potato Caboose. That should just about exactly fill 2 CD's. :) The only stuff from the other nights I'd really like to see on this is Shakedown Street and The Golden Road from night 2 and the first three songs from night 3

Lots of ungrateful or fake deadheads making comments on this site these days. As an old deadhead who's days are numbered and looking for that road to take me home, Im grateful to get n have anything released musically. Santa Clara to Chicago to Timbuktu, all makes me happy. Stop bitching be kind and keep on dancing till you drop.

So, I guess there will never be the SC shows on CD? As SC is close by, I'd rather hear these than Chicago, but if Chicago is what we have, then counting down to the 20th- four days after my birthday, what a coincidence...

It would be great if they set up a system that would allow you to pick the tracks you wanted from all the shows & they put them on a two disc set or something. I'd pay extra for that service!! It could be your own greatest & favorites even if you couldn't be there! reminds me of the my first & sadly last show, Boston Garden 10/3/94...wish I could find that on CD too :/

You would want to see a cover band over what we experienced on the couch and live. Come on man. It was smoking and I had a great time for what it was. I was not looking for anything but listening to the way they arranged the composition of the music. I feel it was seriously kick arse for what it was. Great send off and well well worth more than 10 bucks. I would have paid 10 bucks for the free rose. I would have paid 10 bucks just to be with brothers and sisters in the lot. However, the music was smoking and I was very impressed for with the composition of the music. I still like listening to it for what it is. I find something new every time I put it on. And for what it worth. I am so happy for the Santa Clara shows. If that is a warm up....HOLY HELL What a band. LOL. That comment is crazy in my opinion and that is all this is ....A little old opinion by me. We all have them. I have a right to say that the West Coast seem to know how to take a show while being chill. Love how easy and chill everyone is. I would not say that is warming up. I would say it shows maturity because the music was(HOT). The Friday in Santa Clara I would take if I had to chose a show. PERIOD. So for the first time hitting the stage and definitely a little cold at first for Trey....They sure did a hell of a job. I LOVE that show. Give it to me FRIDAY SC...is the way I like it served up. People who act like they have been to a show before and knowing that all we wanted was a wave from the band. A nice goodbye wave. If they came out and only did that I would have paid more than 10 bucks. Kidding me. ..... I love the difference between East and West. Always seems like there is more turmoil on the East coast for some reason. Just for me it always seams like more maturity on the West. Maybe its the way the bands feel. I dont know but I have seen smoking set on both sides of the country. For some reason always much more comfortable on the West Coast shows. Once again it was the same feeling even with that many people. Top it off with a Rainbow and being "all in good company". I value everyone thougths as this is my meager opinion. IN SUMMARY:SMOKING HOT FRIDAY NIGHT IN SC. GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT TIME all around. Thank you GD for such a good time. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It is now ours forever and these shows will even live and breath as well for years to come. Thank you. There should be no hate or dislike in anyway shape or form. As the other Gents said. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO EVEN GET WHAT WE HAVE AND HAD. Of course we Miss Jerry and we are in the days between so I simply give a big THANK YOU and advice everyone to take it for what it is. No need to compare anything. You simply cant.....We are missing too big of an icon.

I whole hardily agree in peoples desires for video of the Santa Clara Shows. After 43 years of approx: 350 shows I thought the final five were an excellent send off. There are always a few warts or it wouldn't be normal?? As far as High Times I felt the First show in Santa Clara toke the cake. If that video shows the rainbow, that alone is worth the price. Release them and they will sell. These are the droids we are looking for.

I was lucky enough to have attended all three nights in Chicago. I have to say, that first night was unbelievable and felt like a GD show. The vibe of the crowds around the show and inside the show was exactly like the authentic GD experience. Smiling, loving people, tremendous vibes and a genuine enthusiasm. That is what the GD experience was all about for me. The GD was just the catalyst.

Klangstone,you said it best. That is exactly right. Exceeded my expectations. It was a magical weekend that will stay with me to the grave. I feel so fortunate to have been there and experienced it. It truly was a Dead show. I really did not expect that. I looked at Trey with condescension before the shows and with reverence now. Sorry. That's just me. Why they don't just sell CDs for each show is beyond me. I don't really want "best of" nor do I want the DVDs. Peace. Hopefully there were young people there who felt the vibe. The world is a better place with more Deadheads. Bill

You are so right my friend.....I'd rather see a cover band for 10 bucks at a bar these daze...
