I still like the music, but we're in agreement over here that it's kind of a bummer that The Dead are no longer Grateful. Our problem; not yours: enjoy.
i am really excited about seeing some old show pals... plus, i can separate it from it's former incarnation-now. i mean, it's been almost 14 years. ready to blow out the musty old exhaust pipes, that's for damn sure!
made it to the garden last night, thanks to the genorosity of kind friends, some that i hadn't seen in almost 30 years...it was completely insane...a set list that i still am trying to believe really did happen...i'm just happy to have made it...i know west coast will be just as ingvigorating - enjoy!

p.s...i'm sure you heard the legend of how the garden literally starts "rocking" and swaying when the dead heads start dancing and swaying...the building literally moves, kind of what i imagine an earthquake feels like...the dead were the first to make that happen in the garden at the first shows they did there in there int he late 80's, i think it was...the roof came off that place last night, i swear...
nancy...so glad you made it! i saw them there just once-well actually 3 nights in a row in 1979, and it does get rockin' in there!!
diana...not a day goes by that i don't miss jerry. it still hurts. nothin's gonna bring him back though, and we are all still here. it will never sound or feeeeeel the same. and yet, i look forward with giddy anticipation and an open heart and mind.
oh my it was the late 70s not the late 80s...i was there for one or 2 or all, i can't remember...that garden run was my first china/rider, tho, -- that i won't ever forget...
not a day goes by that i don't miss that sound... especially after almost 25 years of shows. no, it's not the same. but little is, and i look forward to some familiar FUN. i respect the fact that warren haynes does not even pretend to sound the same. life really does go on, even when we're gone. the closer i get to the other side, the more clear that becomes. but that's just me.
of course it's not the same...it will never ever be the same...nothing is the same as it was 15 seconds ago...but when you get the chance to be in a room with 10,000 other people who know what that felt like and 5,000 people who never had the chance to know what that felt like, jump on the opportunity...you'll be glad you did =)

Wow. That was great. What a treat.
Sorry Kids It just doesn't have that spark anymore. And I am sad to say it.
Sugar Mag minus Sunshine Daydream? Letterman didn't allow enough time.
Phil's bass has some really cool glowing inlays on the fretboard!
I look foreard to hearing the music from this tour. They will certainly find some spark.

I just can't bring myself to watch. It's not the Dead. Not w/o Jerry.
