No mention of a dedicated lead - more like a guest rotation? 

 

Seems surprising that they only have 6 shows  announced - with the cai$h at stake here and Shappy as the promoter of record,  I would have expected a bit more.  It's early yet I guess.

Funny, I thought I chose 20 years ago to live in Las Vegas for the job, the climate (10 months out of the year, anyway), and as an added attraction the scenic wonders within a few hours’ drive. The fact that many world-class acts of different genres come through here on a regular basis is a nice but expensive bonus so I don’t see a lot of them. Life in the fast lane here can be Hobbesian: nasty brutish and short. I know some here have experienced it firsthand and lived to tell the tale.

 

This is in many ways the eastern-most suburb of Los Angeles but within the same radius we have majestic mountains, stunning desert vistas, and the ability to embrace them regularly. That is my kind of isolation.

 

And I have always appreciated the difference between being lonely and being alone.

My guess is a set of Bob cowboy tunes with (maybe) the National guys, then a brief 4-5 tune set with just Bob and Phil and then a set of Phil and the family band. Phil and Bob trade turns opening, closing. 

 

Have fun but no spot taken.

Chicago a 5-6 hour drive for me. Still a haul but no where near what it would be to go to the Cap or Terrapin Crossroads. So if I can Check Phil off their list in Chi town that’s probably as close as Phil will come to me. 

 

My mentality has completely changed on drives. With my rider at my side i love the road now.  And I really like driving at night now. I remember on my 1st New Years run it was 2013 with a great group. We stayed in Richmond overnight while MC was hitting the road. I’m like u are crazy for driving to Philly this late. He said we were the crazy ones. We’d have huge holiday traffic. 7 hours later we got Philly the next day and he was right. Now I live by get down the road if with the girl at night. With the boys we stay put. With the girl hop in car and drive. Even a year ago I wouldn’t take off near midnight on a 7 hour drive to a show next day. Now that seems like a no brainer. Cleveland?  That’s a hometown show. Only 8 hours. It’s strange how your thinking changes over time.

nothing beats solitude - unless ofcourse it's imposed on you by someone else :)

Respect for Bob and Phil to continue

to tour and create music.

Jerry would have had a band

as long as he had wanted.

Love driving post show.

Many a night spent getting

to the next show or home.

Although the bus didn't have

cruise control.

 

Praise DSO

Signed up for presale, got on the minute they went on sale and shut out. No tickets available. I am never able to get tickets for these things. If I could watch one business  burn to the ground with a smile on my face, it would be Ticketmaster.

3rd row balcony for me for 3/10. Had to ignore "no available tickets available" message several times and then it popped up.

Ticket Bastards and I go back a long way. At least at casino's I sometimes win. It's only money

Yup. Shut out immediately and then after 15 minutes the site locked me out completely....

 

If anyone had luck and finds themselves with 2 extras for Chicago 3/11 and/or NYC  3/2 and 3/3.... and could tolerate going to a show with me, I wouldn’t mind at all! I promise not to make any comments during any “Phil donor rap” that may occur. 

 

Dr. B 🤔

I contemplated releasing my Row P balcony seats but after I knew Dr B got shut out of NYC, I decided wasn’t worth the risk. Plus I always want the cheapest tix for any dead type show as I ain’t bound to society’s archaic seating system. Eventually bands will use brain scans to see who deserves to be up front and most here will always be first few rows to motivate the musicians.  Imagine the Grateful Dead movie if all those fans up front were forced into assigned seats. Overall’s guy wouldn’t likely be at the front of stage to get Jerry pumped. If you forced dead fans to sit, you would get their studio music. Our dancing created the live sound we know.  Eyes was less than 4 minutes on an album until Jerry said “let them dance” and decided to extend it to 20 minutes. That’s likely possibly perhaps a true story passed down through many generations like the Bible. In 1500 years, people will say Bobby weir was 8’3” and lived to 356 years playing over 19k shows. That’s how this stuff works and i want in on the mythology action.
