I've got a question for folks: should I make date nights with the wife for the first two nights -- Boston Wang Theater -- of the Further summer tour? The venue is fabulous, but...
Since Jerry, I have not seen any of the various constellations, and I haven't wanted to...until now, I guess. With a few exceptions, I haven't even been too psyched listening to Further shows...until now, kinda. For the most part, I don't find the sound as inspiring as I'd hope, but I'm feeling nostalgic...and seems like I should, at least, give 'em a chance.
Anyway, if it was free, we would definitely go, but it ain't.
Looking around, seems like for two tics for two nights, we're looking at over $500.
So, from those of you who've been dropping in on Phil from time to time, is it worth it? And, should we go both nights or just the first (which would cut the cost by about $200)?

Wow, crazy prices. That would work out to be $125.00 each per night, which doesn't sound as bad. If you ever get to see the PBS presentation of the 1974(or maybe it was '76)Grateful Dead show in Oakland, it's really stellar. But the reason I bring it up is there are these two doods/deadheads that are engaged in this friendly argument inside before the show starts and they are discussing the increase in the price of tickets to $3.50(three dollars & fifty cents). One guy is really upset and thinks it is outrageous. It goes on for about 10-15 minutes, they keep coming back to it. But I remember those times, and that was allot of money to fork over back then.
I saw the Dead at San Diego State U on Mothers Day 1969 with Santana, Canned Heat, Quick Silver Messenger Service & The Flying Burrito Brothers. Great concert. Only time I saw them live. It was an outside concert on the football field.

I saw Furthur in Manchester two years ago and was really impressed at how well Phil and Bobby are still playing. If you can swing it, I'd say both nights would be awesome!

No tape has surfaced for 5-7-66, though there is one from the Avalon 5-19-66 which contains the earliest version circulating of Good Lovin'. Likewise the Greek 1967 show. There are 3 November, 2 September, and 1 August 1967 tapes circulating.

I had the most amazing dream last night of being at Grateful Dead show in some tiny venue that I didn't recognize (my brain invented it)...it was so sad waking up and realizing it was a dream. I know, pretty random share...it was just such a vivid dream of a great show that never was and never will be.

I too have those dreams. Do you take GHB every night before bed as well?
Just kidding.

Phil Lesh and Friends were pretty amazing at Terrapin Crossroads on Saturday. Jimmy Herring is incredible. What a great venue - hope that Phil goes strong for another 30 years or so.
