Those MSG dates are gonna be bananas with all the people in town for the NYC Marathon that weekend.
As in hotels and congestion.
Any locals interested in the DC show?
I probably have a calendar conflict but... I can look into it if anyone else is trying to go.

Put me down as highly unlikely.
I'm assuming they'll be announcing more dates? Not much of an actual tour.

yeah I would assume so, hoping for a CO date.
Def looks like there is space to add like 4-5 midwest dates and a couple west coast ones before NYE

Looks to me like they're still testing the waters.
Future dates contingent on current slate presales...

I do, in fact, have a conflict on my calendar but have been given a pass if I choose to accept.
Anyone else trying to rock this?
Worcester is a birthday show for me so I guess I'll be in attendance. turning into a great week of shows for me.

Gonna be pretty disappointing for Bobby when venues are half-empty...
I just dont have any interest in this tour. I guess if these shows somehow far exceed my expectations and the line up brings something different then I guess I would hit the ATL show but I dont see that happening.

will hit CO shows! or probably just one.

Greensboro falling on a Saturday seems a little more likely for me than the DC show, but I think I'm in the same boat as others, in that I want to hear some of this before deciding. I don't feel like tickets should be too tough, but who knows.
Yeah agree about waiting on tix. Although who knows, there might be a mad rush of people buying up tickets because didn't get to see FTW
https://youtu.be/08buMZeXzJ0 (https://youtu.be/08buMZeXzJ0)
85 bucks for seats and 120 bucks for floors :-o and that "teaser" isnt convincing me to shell that out
only going 1 night here
Mayer is kinda heavy on the wankery in that clip and not focusing on the comp'ing. The coolest part of the China -> Rider segue is the alternating comp'ing between Garcia and Weir.
I don't care who the drummers are.
I just can't go out and see Weir at this point

Not sure Billy and Mickey even want to be there in that clip.
Hitting the Albany show. Way to close to miss.
That clip was far from convincing for me...
Well, the clip with Trey playing with Phil before the shows were pretty meh.
And we all know how those shows turned out!

Parts of them. Played an hour of the first night yesterday. The Mason's Children was brutal....but a lot of it is solid.
Bobby is a Wonderland.
Listetened to a chunk of 7/3 on Sirius while driving around a few weeks ago, I still say it was an awesome show and the best of all five.

I haven't listened back yet and didn't attend Santa Clara (watched though) and have to agree about the Friday show.
What source(s) do people recommend for re-listening to the Chicago shows?

it's awesome to finally see you kinda butt hurt/defensive about some music for the first time in like 3-4 years on this board.
I don't think (at least I'm not) questioning Mayer's ability to play the music. That 45 second clip he runs Trey off the stage, and that pains me to admit that, but he's def doing shit Trey at 51 cannot do. I think the only thing up in the air is if he finds himself in some hauntingly dark space of improvised music like a dark star, what's he going to do? At least I am wondering that. Even those Phil shows where he sat in, he kinda took a back seat once the music really took off in an unknown direction, and as for the composed parts, he handled himself really well. Regardless of what else I will see before they hit here, I'm going to the Atlanta show. I'm curious enough to be drawn to see these guys play together.

uh... wut? I'm not hearing anything that outshines Trey in that clip...
I definitely question Mayer's ability to play the music of :syf: Sure, he can rip some blues but I've never heard him do anything similar to what the dead do/did. I feel like he'd be totally lost in any deep typeII jams.... Which makes me think there won't be much jamming with this Dead incarnation. Just Bobby and John playing some blues rock.
Not much mention of Oteil.
Is he gonna do the catalog justice?
Phil was the anchor in that GD lineup with Trey.
It's just gonna be weird.
As much as I love John Mayer, this whole thing doesn't appeal to me despite having those 2 MSG shows close to home.
Couple points:
Mayer sounded ok when he played with Phil a little while back. He was, however, playing third fiddle much of the time.
Otiel is great. Not sure how he'll do though. Those are some big nerdy shoes to fill.
That said, after watching the Billy with Weir set followed by Phil with Carlos from Lockn, Phil is the guy that pushes the X-factor far more than The Other Guys (with the exception of Mickey).
Oteil's take on the catalog will be interesting to hear. He's got such a different style than Phil.

Interesting, yes.
But it's not moving me to buy the ticket.
A clue of how Oteil will sound is likely in the KBM shows from a few years ago.
Otiel's great - he is no Phil but then nobody is. Agree with RJ that Phil is the FORCE.
I think Mayer played a Dead tune at Crossroads (2014?) and it was actually pretty good. I think I have a copy on my accessory HD - I'll try to dig it up this w/e if anyone wants to hear it.
ETA - wasn't a GD tune, but a jam from a GD tune in one of his songs. I'll try and dig it up.
anyway, the post GD projects that I like best are the ones that sound most UNlike the GD - ie much of the Phil and Friends, JRAD, some of the Jazz is Dead. I don't think this one will fill the bill for me
FREE MSG show added.

Now that is cool.
I put in for that one.
FREE!
Came across this on FB - I guess it's from this past weekend...
https://youtu.be/xSMUbVLXlTc
I'll admit, he did some pretty sweet things in that solo. It's just... he really wasn't playing 'with' the band, he was soloing on top of the band - Wonder if he can do the former...

Well I know I was talkin' shit but I'll eat my words hear.
Just watched a bunch of YouTubes from the Albany show and Mayer did not suck.
Even though none on the stuff I watched was 'type 2' jamming per say, the guy sounded pretty on point.
Went to the show last night, and John Mayer blew away my expectations of him, i thought he sounded really good. They are sounded good. Except my one complaint is how some songs are so much slower. The Touch of Grey encore was played really well, but just a such a slow pace there was not that much energy. BUt all around i thought the show was good, besides the terrible segue from Slipknot > Franklins.
Also i would not of minded if Mayer sang on some more songs. I thought his voice sounded really good on the ones he did sing.

Bobby can't do fast.
Super surprised there hasn't been a webcast announcement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slmWqmc20Nw
Alright, so after further inspection here -- My initial thoughts on Mayer were kinda re-confirmed.
The dude CAN play, I'm def more impressed with his technical ability and creativity that I thought I would be. It's not just blues licks either, he's doing some nice stuff in his solos.
BUT, it still is way more of him 'soloing' on top of the band, than 'full band jamming'. Which, that was only really noticeable in the songs that usually go deep type-2 (like that Playin' jam above) -- it definitely didn't feel like the music could veer off in any direction at any given moment. I'm not sure Mayer understands how to jam like that. But, like I said, those instances are the minority. His playing style works pretty well for the majority of Dead tunes that are guitar solo based 'jams' over a set progression.
I just gave the Morning Dew a spin and it was pretty freakin' good but I do see where you're coming from WTU. May try listening to the Terrapin later.
My GF got me tix for the DC show for my birthday. Actually really excited to go and check it out. Hard not to compare the FTW shows to this band but will keep an open mind.
I've been pleasantly surprised with what I've heard so far. Like Igbo said though: it's hard not to compare it to FTW...

All the comments from my friends who were at the last few shows were all pretty much the same as all y'all. Except they (all, to a person) said the songs were. so. fucking. slow.
I hate slow Bobby. Way to suck the energy out of a room. Slow wharf rat is the TTE of D&C.

I saw him with Stanley Jordan at the Roseland in 2012, I bet that was great.
I think it's pretty special and fortunate for us that we are still getting solid music from these guys, whatever incarnation that may be.
It's not like they don't attract serious talent wherever they go.
Watched a few of the Stanley Jordan videos - that guy is a beast!
Such crazy unique style
Seeing rumors of a Summer '16 tour, including a stop at Fenway Park
The added MSG is gonna be the first webcast?
Sounds like it. I may catch Phil tomorrow night, tickets still available.
Cool. Gonna hit up my couch pretty hard.
Mayer is crushing it.

Pretty cool.
Dude, John Mayer is the fucking shit with this music. For me, this is the most vital post-Jerry stuff I think I've ever listened to (outside of Phil and Friends). Even The Dead in 2009 wasn't even CLOSE to being this good.
Listening to 11/5/15 "Here Comes Sunshine" right now. Dude is just killing it. They goof the entrance to the music after the acapella intro, but that's okay.
He's like a groovier Jerry. Sort of.

Thanks for the link!
interesting interview with Oteil
http://liveforlivemusic.com/features/dead-companys-oteil-burbridge-shares-his-grateful-dead-john-mayer-experiences
QuoteI'm telling you honestly people treat me differently now. It's subtle sometimes and glaring other times! But it's always there. My wife notices it too. I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna have to buy weed again!
Wow!! I had a blast at the show tonight! I was thoroughly impressed with Mayer and we didn't get any of the slow song syndrome from previous shows. Mayer did really really well. I wanted to hate on him but couldn't. Sounded good. Go see them!
I'm loving the Mayer love!
That Oteil Burbridge sure has some big feet for a little guy.
Mayer is indeed doing a good job. His singing is a little cheesedick, because he's still John Mayer after all, but he's channeling Jerry and throwing in his own style quite well.
Enjoying the stream for sure!
This iteration of Dead music is 90% Oteil for me. The rest I could take or leave. Mayer is adequate... let me rephrase, he's playing with a lot more confidence than he should. He is damn good and does not take anything away from the music. He's exactly what's needed to hold the whole thing together. That should not be understated. He's doing great. But he's doing about as great as Fake Jerry always did with Dark Star or Further.
But as far as bringing new ideas to a Dead setting... exactly one person on that stage is doing that. Oteil from Egypt. He is the fucking man. I mean, he is making this shit fucking interesting as hell. It's enough to make me listen, honestly.
...and they lost me.

Yeah Oteil definitely seems to be the one pushing things in unexpected directions on the infrequent occasions that they go there.

"Der, i Jerry sound" --LMAO!!!
ser. tho, I'm almost glad i cant see shows anymore and don't even have to debate with myself about the pros and cons of all these shenanigans.
I get people not loving this but that show looked and sounded pretty stellar imo.
I wish this circus was coming to my town cause I would be there in a heartbeat, which is something I would not have said when I heard they were doing this.
And people who don't like the drums segment just hate drugs.

I read that to my wife and she gave me the 'as if' look.
One car family and a Tues show. :shakehead:
Made the trek out to Worcester last and rocked out with Birdman, sis, and SF. Overall, super glad I went -- Had a great time.
I totally will give credit to Mayer where due -- The guy learned the catalog and can play his ass off, didn't really hear a sour note out of him all night. He's super fluid and really nailed the 'Jerry Tone' -- There was one little segment of UJB jam where things really took off for a second. I dug that. I def have more respect for the guy now. With that all said, I wasn't exactly blown away by anything he did. I still don't know that he can "type 2" jam in the way we all think of that term. He's really just soloing over everything -- Very rarely did I hear Mayer play off of the others. It was always Oteil or Chimenti improvises around Mayer's solo. Also, Mayer singing Terrapin was just so strange to me. Not bad, just strange.
I will say, Mayer sure wasn't the weak link on stage. Mickey Hart might as well not be there, he's practically inaudible. Kreutzman can barely hold it together. Bobby is also kinda hard to pick out in the mix -- he's not really doing to much these days. The other 3 were the life of the music. Was pretty cool to see Oteil up there -- Not sure his style and/or is super fitting for the music but he's doing his thing and doing it well.
All and all, good times were had.... kinda wish Trey and Phil were up there though... :syf: :phish:
nice!
yeah I dont have high expectations in the realm of jamming, but from what I have listened to oteil n mayer rock the songs out nicely.
Chimenti is boss too.
1rst bank center is pretty intimate too only 6500-7000 people so should be fun show.
Get out my life woman for Allen Toussaint last night too
Went to check etree for setlist and saw the 1rst source up is from our very own bvaz :wink: nice work man! :clap:

***Support Bands That Allow Taping/Trading**
Hmmm... I re-listened to last night and I didn't really dig it. The moments that I thought were great fell flat upon re-listen. It wasn't full band jamming. My absolute favorite moment of the night occurred during the UJB jam, yet, it was just 10 seconds of Mayer/Oteil playing a bunch of notes w/o any real musical backing as a 5 piece.
I got there during Sugaree due to a combination of familial obligations, traffic, and a startling lack of parking available anywhere near the venue after the show had started. I agree with :wtu: that there was nothing mindblowing, though I also enjoyed that little liftoff during UJB. However, I actually enjoyed the way that Mayer was playing off of Bobby throughout the night. I think he deserves some credit for learning a lot of music that he is not that familiar with, unlike some of these other lead players in Dead-related bands who have been listening to this stuff for decades.
Anyhow, I had fun at the show. It helps that I was miracled the day before and did not have high expectations going in. Now, if I had to have paid even face for the show, I might've been sightly disappointed afterward. Without Phil, I think Bobby is the alpha, and I think we all know what that means as far as the "jamz" are concerned...
After listening to some Dead & Co and now these Fare Thee Well boards, I always thought Kreutzman's playing was "loose" to kinda let mickey fill in, but its almost so loose and slow hes like off beat or barely holding the band together, he seems like hes either missing a beat or falling behind.
Yeah, I would say his old style of playing was loose, in the best way possible.
Now it's so loose it's kinda falling apart.

In Chi, I was firmly planted where I was hanging on every beat, and really enjoyed them on the AMEX stream. If I am listening to a GD show though, I almost always skip D/S.....

Everytime I see it during The Dead, I always wonder if I followed the Dead, how many hours I would have spent a tour just wandering the hallways or in the bathroom during Drums/Space since that is what I did during D/S for most the Dead recreated groups.

EXACTLY how I feel. Back during the GD shows I may have stuck around for a few but thats it. But now, with these shows, it's actually the part I'm looking forward to the most. Totally different 20+ years later, obviously.
Drums and Space kicked ass in Worcester. Oteil on a third set!
although, I can't exactly tell what is a pre-recorded loop playing behind them and what is real...
Looked to me, in Chicago, like Mickey was creating loops on the fly like Keller Williams (among others) does...
The way they do drums now it's like going to a club. Deadtronica. I'm a huge fan. I was thinking in Worcester the the other night that I could listen listen to two sets of nothing but drums.

I find the Neal Casal setbreak jams compelling in an odd way, too.
I'm not prepared to explain it just yet, but it has something to do with an unhurried, no-fuss approach to the sonic palette and exploratory sensibility of :syf: music, full of gestures towards more recent music influenced thereby.

The beam used to shatter my world when I was much younger. Now, I look forward to it.
Listening to last night's Shakedown. I know Bobbly likes things slowed down but this is ridiculous. :tte:
Im back on the fence about this, kinda need the money and after re-listening to some of these not really down to pay 90 bucks a ticket...and saw a lot of extras outside of solr out TAB so I think I could score a cheap one in lot day of show...
Yup. They're down here in ATL tomorrow night and I'm passing. I really wanted to be interested in this tour and hit this show. Not happening. Just not doing anything for me.
I work 6 miles from Phillips arena, I am going to look for a cheap ticket (nose bleeds $25, lower level $50), and if I can't find it, I will just go home.

I ended up buying a ticket shortly after posting that. I was checking out TM and I pulled a floor seat ticket with a spot right in front of the SBD. $120. ouch. But I figure what the hell. I'll pay the price and take the ride.

Looking forward to your review Ramz
Lots of sandy vaginas in this thread. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The large sac of mushrooms I downed throughout the show might have had something to do with it, but if I thought it was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen, then it was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Sorry for partying? :rawk:

"play from your fucking heart" -Bill Hicks
That's all I could think last night in regard to John Mayer. I think the guy is a phenomenal guitarist. He is the epitome of an excellent student of music. His ability to comprehend the complicated nuances of Jerry Garcia's guitar playing far surpasses anyone I have seen in that slot (and before all the Trey apologists coming running in here all butt hurt and defensive - I don't think Trey qualifies in this comparison because he never tried to sound like Garcia). Mayer has an excellent command of his instrument. From double finger tapping weird ass arpeggios in Slipknot, to comp'ing some incredible chords for Jeff and Oteil to play on top of as he sits comfortably in a pocket. To straight nailing difficult passages of ascension up and down the fret board. He can do it, and at times it taps into the uncanny sound of the original Jedi. From a technical standpoint, he's a perfect fit. He can move a crowd like few well versed front man. I haven't seen energy like that (excluding FTW) ever at a post Jerry show. The crowd was fucking sucking at his tit. And juicy wads of mayer musical cum were dousing the audience left and right. He had them in the palm of his hand. Weir knows this. Mickey knows this. Bill knows this.
The show was well played. It was well received. I got responsibly high (as in I got high enough to remove my ego and let the music in). I liked it. But I also walked away thinking the guy with all these going well in this band, he doesn't play from the heart. He plays to the crowd, and what he thinks the crowd wants to hear. And it's a hat tip to him in being able to understand the music of the dead that well to do this. You can tell this guy has spent 100's of hours diving into the Grateful God Damn Dead. But with all of that time, I think he missed the most rudimentary and fundamental component of the dead - sincerity. Garcia could roll his balls out on stage with a mac truck and take down 50k people on an epic night, and then the next night look like he had been neutered and left to be size shamed by the crowd. That type of honesty speaks way more volume than any level of musical proficiency. I don't think Mayer grasps that type of vulnerability. Perhaps because he's never suffered in the sense Garcia has (which for Mayer may be more of a blessing than a curse) and to me it really showed. I paid $120 for my ticket. I don't regret that. I'd go again and I'd probably pay around that again for a really good seat. For what may seem like a lot of negativity, I also have a lot of perspective that it is still a hell of a lot better than 90% of the music out there in my opinion.

Good stuff, glad you had a great time. 2nd set looks tatsy.
Good review Ramz, Im still on the lookout for a cheaper ticket, 1rst bank is honestly pretty tiny for this group, 7k ppl, cheapest face value is 95 bucks most expensive for GA Floor is like 140 so thats a little steep for me at the moment since thats the price of like a phish NYE ticket, and I have a couple other shows coming up that I need to get tickets for. If it was at pepsi center tickets would be cheap and affordable for me, but the sound would suffer.
I have been digging John Mayer's playing from what I have heard, hope I can score a cheaper ticket day before or day of for like 50-60. Sounds like a good experience, and I feel like if they keep the steam going, with NYE as well, they might get back together for summer dates, hopefully a Red Rocks date as that place is a couple thousand more than 1rst bank.

I wouldn't bet on a cheap ticket. While last night didn't sell out, it also was far from empty. Phillips holds 18k, and the place was 90% full. Lots of fingers in the air last night, and no extras around (or at least cheap extras). People ended up having to go buy at the box office last minute. There is a following too. There were a good 1k-2k just hanging out last night. I've never seen downtown Atlanta immersed in a shakedown street. It was pretty awesome. Some mafia wooks had a tank going preshow right by a bar. People walking in and out of the bar with balloons. It was unadulterated debauchery at its finest.

Indeed. (admittedly, I was a tripping mess by the end of the night. Religious epiphanies during Ripple as time became elastic in not a good way......you know when everything starts to slooooowww doooown....and the vocals eventually turn to mud, and everyone begins to melt into the ground.)
Anyway, glad you had a good time Ramz. :rawk:

Mayer sounds like he's playing what he thinks the audience wants to hear (and is doing a good job of that) but I'm not sure he's playing from his heart.
Also.... this....

all this sounds good....I think hes having a lot of fun on this tour and being in this role, im interested to see what he takes away from this tour and if he absorbs any of these aspects to his music. When he mentioned his album he almost sounded disdainful when he said oh its kind more poppy popular music...

I am trying to get that out of my head.
Ummm. Typo?
http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7326306/john-mayer-grateful-dead-company-interview
Weir, meanwhile, spoke about a cosmic, out-of-body vision he had at the end of last year's tour, and then a subsequent dream, that indicated Dead & Company could even outlive some of its primary members.
"We were playing...and suddenly I was viewing this from about 20 feet behind my head, and I looked over at John from that piont of view and it was 20 years later and John was almost fully gay. I looked over at Oteil and his hair was white. I looked over to my left and Jeff's hair was all gray." And when he looked to where he, Hart and Kreutzmann would be, "it was new guys, younger guys holding forth, doing a great job...playing with fire and aplomb....It changed my whole view of what it is that we're up to. I find myself wondering, 'Well, what are they gonna be saying about this new approach or this honoring of this tradition? What are they gonna be saying about that in 200 or 300 years at the Berklee School of music?' That's the kind of stuff that goes through my head now because this legacy here, there's a chance now that they'll be talking about us in years to come. So I find it incumbent on myself to think in those terms."
Hilarious typo aside, I predicted the legacy of Grateful Dead bands passing into future generations back in the 90s.
Kind of glad to see it happening.
Well, it hasn't happened yet... I just don't know if a GD cover band without Bobby, lead by John Mayer, would be something that could draw.
If you'd predicted that John Mayer would be leading the way, that would have been really impressive.

Didn't predict Mayer, that's for sure. Even if I had, I'm not sure I'd admit it.
It's too soon to see if my vision plays out but it's certainly on track.
JRAD (whatever you think of them) is an example.
People (Russo) who've played with elements of the real deal carrying the torch to new generations and giving the repertoire their own spin is what I'd imagined. Circles 'Round The Sun promises to be another such thing. I think Phil & Friends will, in time, prove to be a significant contribution to this sort of thing, given all the players he's worked with. I don't see it as one band, the way Bobby did in his dream, I see it as a growing army of adherents spreading the gospel.
Right, I guess similarly, the JGB still tour.
Phil & Friends is an interesting idea, I don't really see that being able to continue on after Phil though.
Fully gay, lol, wow.

As I was trying to suggest, it's not about that band continuing. It's about the people who have moved across that stage over the past 17 years carrying on with the spirit and the material.

Phil's said a lot of similar things in the last 20 years, too. I think I'm mostly remembering interviews from the early aughts, when he was getting started with the P&F thing?
People are doing Monk, Miles, and Coltrane tributes.
there is no reason why they shouldn't continue doing GD tributes. I would be surprised if they didn't

well said Steve.
I think what RJ is saying, and what's maybe more unique is that the GD stuff going forward could have more of a "Grateful Dead Family" connection, where guys who played in bands with the founding members of The Grateful Dead will be the ones who form bands and pass along those vibes to future heads.
Really though... when is HoloJerry making an appearance?
right
there clearly is a Miles "family" connection

In the oral bio
This Is All A Dream We Dreamed Jon McIntire said no one in the Dead camp was mean to Donna because of her previous experiences as musician in Muscle Shoals AL etc. The one song where I think she sounds good singing is the Scarlet - Fire segue from 18March1977.

Tour opener in Charlotte on Friday was fun times. [Jambase writeup (http://www.jambase.com/article/dead-company-kick-off-summer-tour-pnc-music-pavilion-charlotte)] I don't much care for how slooooooow this band is most of the time, and it's amusing watching Mayer ham it up and try to take things from zero to 100 in about half a measure, but all in all, good stuff. Nearly 25-minute Eyes to open the second, even. Bigger crowd than I expected -- sold out or nearly so. And a good crowd, too.
I guess Mayer's previous contract had something to do with the band not releasing any SBDs, but I guess they finally cleared that up and signed a deal with nugs.net. But $16?!
Also, whats a DSD file? It's $45
Direct Stream Digital. Think SACD.

I don't want the money; I just want them used. (I also have a camp ground right there I'll more than likely not be using.)

Yes, but for $$. I am trying to get the Portland show, but don't want to pay $15 for an MP3. I have not looked too hard, but have not seen any liberated sBDs on other sites (Lossless Legs). Will let you know if I find any.
The Portland show was unreal, possibly the best post-Jerry line-up I have seen. In a lot of ways, I liked this line-up better than GD50. Some things I liked better about GD50, but I would put it up there with that in a second. I was surprised.
I got a link from a buddy of mine yesterday. It has 13 shows. Yes, all SBD. Will post later today once I'm home.

I know Phish isn't on the archive, but I can tell you that D&C is pulling as many "downloads" as any current band on the archive. downloads also include streaming as well so consider that.
one other note, DSO is also one of the more popular downloads, at least over a lot of bands anyway.
I should also add that JRAD is pretty damn popular too.
no opinion attached, just facts based on what I upload and see statistics on.

lol, I was about to say this before I saw his response....
Listening to the May 27 show from Vegas and these guys are actually sounding really rehearsed. I don't find the songs seems slowed down at all and I hate to say it but it's one of the better reincarnations of the Dead I've heard. Mayer's tone is awesome and the guy is pretty on point with his runs. Bob seems like he's 10 years younger than he is.
Color me impressed.

First set was a total snoozer. Bedtime Dead is what I called it at setbreak. After that, though, the second set gradually picked up in pace and got weird in a good way quite a bit.
Second night first set had WAY more energy, as did the second set.

Dead & Company is going on a long, strange trip...and you're invited! We're thrilled to announce the debut of Playing in the Sand: an all-inclusive Caribbean concert vacation featuring three nighttime Dead & Company performances on an intimate, white sand beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
John Mayer in a bathing suit, you guys!
He's already working on his beach body...

Or any booze at the resorts. I'm sure you've all heard about the random deaths/blackouts that have been occurring the last year or two...

Happy they're coming to Austin - not too thrilled it's to the drum. Sound sucks in there.
High probability that I'll hit the DC show.

F'reals. No dates real close to me, but if I'm able, I may try to swing one or two
Not going to travel for it, so couch tour it is!
And Portland gets it up the poop shoot once again :|
I hate to say this, especially given how much I've spent on GD vinyl lately, but I kinda refuse to pay $150 + svc charges per ticket for my local Dead & Co. show. I guess I'm not going because fuck that shit.

I just saw that. WTF is this? And there's like 8 different on sale times and package options, and some 3d ticket bullshit....my god man...what the fuck. Seems a bit too complicated for my liking.

Pre-sale was either fucked or sold out fast for DC.

Scalpers or bots figured it out I'm thinking.
Got a friend to get me into the AmEx presale and copped a pair of floor seats.

What. The. Fuck.
MSG Amex Presale tix are ridiculously expensive. nosebleeds are $100 behind the stage only, 200 level behind the stage $150. 100 level behind the stage $200. 100 level side sections in front of the stage $350 - $500, rear floor sections $650. Didn't see any front floor.
Fuck that noise. Too many trustafarians and nouveau deadheads.
Is Jerry back?

Are these prices for real? Holy fuck!!!!
Yep. Amex presale, not even stubhub
It was not like that for the D.C. Show.
I was poking around Columbus Tix. Saw vip floors for $700 a pop, but also saw decent 200 levels for $55 each.
There are some VIP and platinum ticket prices and shit that are bonkers.
This was a birthday present for myself so I am happy with my not-cheap non-VIP floor seat.
smh @ this scene. :shakehead:
The problem is, it's $150 plus for seats anywhere in the main level of the arena here. The upper levels where the price comes down are just awful.. sound-wise anyway.
Yeah, it's worth waiting until day of show. For Portland I told my wife to go on the AMEX presale and she bought floors. The pair was $375! I said fuck that and sold them the same day on COT for like $360 because I didn't want to deal. Like Hicks said, we ended up with good tix for $40. The show wasn't even sold out and they had bleeds for like $75 from the box office. Depending on the venue, you can prob just buy shitty seats and upgrade when you get in. All that said, it was a really good show and I am glad I made the effort, if only for drums/space.

Did you get the tickets outside the venue? I'm starting to wonder if people bring extras to shows anymore in the age of Stubhub and COT.

Yes...I don't think online ticket sales has really hampered scalpers/fans with extras
Decided to drop my $$ on tickets for this weekend's PGA Tour Championship down here.
Just looked at 11/29 at Philips. Hooooooleeeeee shiiiiiiiiit. Pit at $700? Non-Pit floor seats at $220+? Total nose bleeds at $75.
Yeah, um, hell no!

It was not like that for the D.C. Show.
We ended up with 4th row floors through the AMEX Pre-Sale. While it is a lot of loot I'm generally fine with paying $150 for 4th row.
I'd rather pay $150 for 4th row than $75 for 400's.

That's reasonable. When I bought the pair for Portland from AMEX, the floor, or best side tix ended up being like $380 for the pair. It was too much for me. But they put on a great show. You're stoked.
up for now...
