Grateful Dead - Fare Thee Well - July 7/3-7/5 at Soldier Field

[mehead]

Santa Clara will be announced this week....for whatever that's worth. Don't know what to think about that exactly.  Guessing they won't do mail order again, lol.

Not a fan of additional dates.  Shit, might as well add a 3 night stand for the east coasters now. Kinda makes the Chicago run a tad less special. I don't know. Whole thing seems like a cluster.

Whatever they do, extra shows or not, people will complain either way.

^^^Yeah. There may be a touch of sour grapes here, but a full-scale  fest is honestly a bigger draw for me than FTW.

Agree. Hotel already booked for Watkins Glen, assuming the dates being kicked around are valid.

Watkins Glenn?!  :-o
i need to keep up with the rumor thread better  :oops:

Dude, that has been on the book (literally) since December.....

Lulz, yes it is.  Festival 10 at the Glen.  Just ribbing you, not laughing at you.  It's like you live in Nebraska or something  :roll:

Yep.
Thus fulfilling my deeply held belief that everyone will get in.

When they drop into Franklin's from Slipknot.......how big will your smile be?

Fuck, I can't wait.

That is all, carry on now.

Underdog tune that nobody is thinking about but will blow the crowd away: Iko Iko

Interesting. I'm not sure that they will play it as it is a Jerry cover and I think the Jerry tunes will all be OG GD/Hunter tunes, with the exception of a couple like Morning Dew.

Listening to the Dead channel on sxm today and they were playing this show... The Franklins is simply insane. Jerry goes nuts toward the end.

I hope Trey listens to it in preparation and prepares to go equally nuts during his franklins solo.
