The Grateful Dead Thread Band • Page 29

Wake of the Flood definitely worth a listen too. Live is a different beast but Skull & Roses and Cornell 5/8/77 seem like the ones to start with based on your likes.

 

got tickets for May 24th, can't believe it

 

how much they run and what section?

 

in the 300 lower section for $250 all in with fees and stuff

 

Sick. When I saw they added July dates I decided to go that route since I don’t have shit going on in July. Pretty excited for this.

 

Got my tickets. So fuckingexcited

 

that's them, top 40

 

And I’m going during NBA summer league. Might be the best weekend ever

 

man i can't wait

 

Same. That’s going to be a fun week for me with summer league, dead and co, then go to LA the next day for sound and fury.

 

Don’t forget to play Cornell ‘77 today folks

 

oh my god man. if you’re debating going, just go. easily the best show i’ve ever seen. just unreal.

 

You doing all three?

 

Going on the 7th. Can't wait. Trying to avoid as much as possible to go in blind

 

no, unfortunately. my wife allowed for one night of a baby-free excursion but i couldn’t swing the rest

 

No Expectations 071: Eyes of the World

also this is a great read on the experience. i posted a bunch of pics and vids on IG if you wanna see some of the experience

 

i’m glad they’re pulling it off, they’re clearly not going for the same thing phish were and they couldn’t do that with 25 shows but if the people there are loving it, godspeed

 

might be time for a dick’s picks deep dive

 

been a very casual Dead fan for a while and have followed Josh the last year. This essay really opened up my eyes to some stuff and I've been diving all week having a blast. think I've finally been fully turned.

 

It's funny how "Althea" tends to be *the song* that does it for people. It did for Mayer too, via Pandora, lol, and look at the boy now

 

Lol oh man that's a great piece I love Josh. the anecdote about the EDC bro in the elevator killed me

 

Meanwhile here I am and it was the Chuck Berry covers for me ahaha

turns out when a band opens a set with a blistering promised land you want to hear more

 

finally taking the Dick's Picks deep dive. gonna try to do one a week. the here comes sunshine, Mississippi, he's gone and stella blue were all incredible. didn't care for that playing in the band personally and the bluesier numbers (big river/big railroad blues) didn't do much for me but overall thought it was pretty incredible. excited to keep going.

 

also they extended the sphere run through mid-august a few days ago
