  1. anyone going to summer tour?
     
  2. Hartford and Saturday at Citi baby
     
  3. Hope D&C break this cut out



    Just exactly what the FUCK you gonna do now??

    (I'm talking about the sailor/saint but the Touch of Grey is wild, some different kinda licks in there. early version i guess)
     
  4. that^^ is one of the best cuts (and shows) theyve ever played

    Maybe so, maybe not.

    For the first time ever, I just scored JRAD Brooklyn Bowl tickets in the presale. Feeling good. Should buy a lotto ticket.

    As a side note, the fact that you can see like 2-3 JRAD shows for the cost of one D&C ticket is an all-time no brainer for me. I'm taking JRAD 100 times out of 100, even if D&C is the more "authentic" Dead experience in terms of the musicians and style.

  7. D&C tours have almost all been in more accessible venues for me, especially the ones outside big cities. Plus I usually go with my dad who prefers D&C. And everyone else I know who's going to shows is going to D&C. Most importantly, I don't see any reason I won't be able to see JRAD in 15 or 20 years. I wanna see the OGs while I can

    I'm planning to go to the Alpine Valley Dead & Co. show. Should be a good time, I had a lot of fun at Wrigley, but it sounds even better to see them on a GA lawn than in stadium seating nosebleeds. Should cost about $60, which isn't too bad at all.

  11. :( RIP
     
  12. Fuck man, he's the same age as Bob and younger than every other living member. Really scary reminder that we could lose any of these guys at any time, not to say he isn't a great loss in himself. Fuck.

  16. Bob Weir @BobWeir

    @cshadows2887 if you wanna see how Bob works...thats as plain as you'll see it. Phil too. Really demonstrates how unique what those two do is. Not streaming tonight but have a feeling I'll be listening to the tapes for a while
     
  17. Especially since apparently they're bantering tons which D&C needs to bring back
