Forum MVP Rude Posted January 30, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 30, 2014 http://m.rollingstone.com/music/news/bob-weir-on-the-deads-50th-anniversary-we-owe-it-to-the-songs-20140130 What I'm getting from this article that we will possibly see the Grateful Dead tour in 2015. The 2014 Furthur hiatus was to build up the excitement for the 1st time the band has toured as the grateful dead since 95. If they did this 50tg anniversary tour it would have to be as the grateful dead and not the dead. Hmm. Looks like a fun possible revival.
Alabama Getaway Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Well that could be intresting depending on what form the band took.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 they can call it that if Johnny is the guitar player!!!!!!!! i will not go to any of em unless he's up there…. if he is, might just have to do a lil road runnin'…..
Forum MVP Mango Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 Steph i'm pretty sure that if Jeff Mattson was playing with them that you would go, no? 50 years is a big anniversary. I'll catch at least one show. Bet that it's Warren. Sorry folks...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 Mango again now? I'm confused. Time to listen to the music play.
Forum MVP Supplicated Velvet Thunder Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 You know, Mango, I ALMOST put "(or Jeff!)" but I am not in the mood to have our guy stolen AGAIN. not one bit. worked out great last time but until Noah comes of age Jeff is gonna have to stick with us and that's THAT. and i will catch ONE show with miracle tickets if it is Warren but I will probably be kinda sad about it…..
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 I would bet warren too. I'll do more than one but not many. If its JK, I'm doing the whole tour. They shouldn't call it the grateful dead. The dead can celebrate 50 years of the grateful dead. Although, I guess it doesn't matter. Jerry was an illusion right.
Alabama Getaway Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 I hope it is not Warren for a 5 night run in some crazy expensive place like the Mexico Furthur run.

If it's a 50th anniversary they would need to call it the grateful dead. Plus every other band tours as their original name even though some just have 1 member still in the band.
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 They don't have to do anything. They might not even play. Bobby isn't Billy and Mickey.
Forum MVP Mango Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 I had unknowingly stolen the title from Bobby Mcgee36 and even though he told me I could keep it I reverted back to Mango. I like to exercise my "change display name", keep you on your feet. Song remains the same
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 You should go to Time Child or maybe Present Child. Ha or maybe apricot. Darbysdad had the dried mango thing.
Forum MVP Rude Posted January 31, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 They don't have to do anything. They might not even play. Bobby isn't Billy and Mickey. I'm just being positive
Muddy Waters Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Billy and Micky have no history with JK and my guess would have veto power or at least a say as to who the Ax Man would be. They do have history with Warren. I think a Graeful Dead Tour with JK would be ridiculously successful both artistically and finanically. Warren not so much...and thiis is from someone who is a huge fan of Warren and paricularly Government Mule..Just don't know if Billy and Mickey would sign on the dotted line for the lineup that would include JK. They would be foolish not to.
Forum MVP Tea Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 Hate to be picky....anyone but Warren. I just can't do it.
Forum MVP found Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 I'd obviously be more pumped for JK but like mango, I'll catch at least one regardless. To be honest, I liked warren just fine. He didn't blow my top off but I thought his playing and singing was good. I really like warren with ABB and derek trucks is other worldly. Really bummed that they're calling it after this year. Luckily snagged so,me tix for the beacon this year. Saw them over the summer with Steve Winwood, who was amazing. It wasn't the best I've seen ABB but they always bring it at the beacon.
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 I'll see the Allmans if they come to Red Rocks. I've also decided I'm doing Innerlocken. I've done their fest in FL a few times. Always fun.
redeyedbert Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Jk with Bruce and the core 4 is the dream, right? Chimenti, Mattson or Barraco works too. I prefer they just leave DSO alone though.
Forum MVP Tea Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 Jk with Bruce and the core 4 is the dream, right? 10-4. THAT would be something. Don't want to hate too much on Warren as he would likely get the nod here but after seeing him with The Dead a few times - Meh. Frankly he was waaaaaaay better with Lesh in the Q. All of this to say something will be better than nothing - I would catch at least 1 stadium show for nostalga. Maybe even take my son You think Phil has been 'monetizing' a ton lately - the reunion would take it up a notch or 100. "Get your 'official' DEAD bottled water with emblazened SYF featuring each city on the tour! Collect them all! Only $8 or 2 for 15.98!" Tip of the iceberg.
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 31, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted January 31, 2014 "10-4. THAT would be something" Copy that. I mean, if we only had a wheelbarrow...
Blindman Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 IMO, there's no way JK gets left out of this lineup. Not after the last several years with Bob and Phil.
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 1, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted February 1, 2014 I'd take jimmy herring on guitar. That guy is straight up sick!!
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 1, 2014 Forum MVP Report Posted February 1, 2014 Jimmy doesnt sing. I dont want Phil and bobby on all the Jerry songs.
Forum MVP Rude Posted February 1, 2014 Author Forum MVP Report Posted February 1, 2014 Jimmy doesnt sing. I dont want Phil and bobby on all the Jerry songs. Jimmy is a different style than Jerry but he can make a guitar do things I've never seen. And if I'm being honest I'd prefer Phil not to sing at all. No one really does Jerry's singing justice that I've heard. His voice was amazing pre-1978.
