    A good way to look at it, and you're right.

    ok.. at least one D&C show next year.. if I get the chance I am gonna try and venture to see my old friends from the NE.. also, the PNW is on my vacation agenda sometime over the couple years.. I hear the Gorge is nice. I will just make sure this hits the budget as a social adventure.. :D

    Be good all.. it's after 12 here meaning we are on the downward slide 'til the weekend.

    Ticket Prices

    According to my calculations, which admittedly are being made before my morning coffee is finished, the average ticket cost has outpaced inflation. Per this site, the average ticket price is just short of $100.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/380106/global-average-music-tour-ti…

    Seems high to me in general, but not for the most popular groups. Most of the shows that i'm seeing are between $25 - $75. If you inflate $10.00 from 1968 at 3% annually you end up at $46.50 - seems about in line with what i'm seeing.

    But for the most popular acts, the business model has changed. Sales of physical music, mostly CDs, have plummeted for the last 20 years.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/186772/album-shipments-in-the-us-mu…

    Since the music industry is no longer making any money from album sales, prices live music have been pushed up to compensate. Of course its more complicated than that, but in general that's what happened.

    Ticket prices

    I always think of ticket prices in terms of sushi. When I take my girlfriend out for sushi, we almost always spend about $150. (We always drink, of course.) She loves sushi, while I would be just as content with a six inch tuna from subway, as long as I had a Newcastle to wash it down.

    So, that's my tipping point. Is it worth a sushi dinner to see this band?

    I think JiminMD and I were at a lot of the same shows, 80's east coast. Wish I had caught a west coast show or two.

    I can ALWAYS take an "Eyes", best last line, "sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own"

    Show cost - yeah, totally agree. I see the prices on old tickets and think wow. But, I remember back in the day when you needed to sent a money order for a tour, for 2 people it added up to a sum that was hard to come by back then.

    RE: AJS, Very Valid Points

    I wanted to add.. and perhaps you beat me to the punch.. that artists have the right to charge whatever they want for ticket prices and it's up to us to decide whether we want to go. Keeping ticket prices so low post In The Dark encouraged many more people to show up at shows than there were tickets.. which created huge crowd control problems in the later years and ultimately much turmoil, distress and one could argue created a public health issue.. people died. ...but that's really on us fans for being idiots and going when we should have stayed home.

    Part of me thinks charging so much will affect the crowd that comes.. and that the crowd won't be the same thereby affecting the entire scene. Partly true, but perhaps AJS is right, the times have changed, the population has almost than doubled since my early show seeing days and the # of venues surely hasn't kept pace.. perhaps a greater evil is TicketNazi and the consolidation of venue owners.. the artists, although culpable, are to an extent along for the ride and subject to market forces and changes in fan behavior.

    My perspective and apologies in advance to those I might offend.

    I laughed when I heard that the Eagles were charging $300 per ticket. But it makes sense. Bands like that don't tour that often, so folks are willing to pay up. More importantly, they are mainstream. Lot's of people like the music, so you are drawing from a larger pool of suckers.

    The Dead were mostly a fringe band with a very loyal following. Out of generosity (or whatever you want to call it), they kept prices low. Towards the end prices did begin to rise as the hordes descended, but they never got really out of control.

    Dead & Co. has attracted an entire new generation of fans who are well funded and think nothing of spending $14 for avocado toast. Dead & Co. seem to be pushing the envelope to see what they can get away with. Good for them. You earned it boys. Yup, it does suck for us old-timers who may want to go, but that is reality.

    It's just not for me. The music is too slow and Garcia ain't standing up there. It's my choice on how to spend discretionary money.

    For the price of ONE general admission ticket to Dead & Co., I can fly to Europe. For the price of those Mexican sandbox shows (which I don't think even included airfare and sell out in days), I can take my entire family to Europe for ten days. All in. Airfare, food, lodging, drinks, museums, etc. Everything. Then at night, I can pop open a nice bottle of Bordeaux or Umbrian red to keep the day's glow going and stream the Europe 72 show that they played in the theater down the street.

    I just refuse to pay those prices. There are too many other cool things to do in life and I can still enjoy the music.

So, for some reason, it seemed a good idea to check out 1968 from 30TATS today. Short show (or set), but 65% Pigpen on vocals. Short and sweet, just like "they" say. C'mon Dave's 33!!

A while back you all were discussing the tuning between songs. I bought myself the yellow 71 box for Christmas. I highly recommend it. Especially for those like me who still haven't received Dave's 32 yet. The 7-2 show is worth the price of the box! Anyway, it is funny to me that during the first sets of these shows they spend 1 to 3 minutes tuning between every song but very rarely tune at all in the second set. Did the instruments cosmically stay in tune for the second set?

Kid thanks for the links and the heads up on the Hopslam, I will seek out beer man and Pester him!
The two river video was so idyllic it made me look it up on google earth. God I love that app. Im such a map geek I could mess with that all day.
I have not been enjoying two hearted lately, because in winter I tend to binge on the heavier stuff. The 2 hearted is definetly in main rotation during the other 3 months outta the year here that it’s not winter. Since Anchor Christmas beer is my all time favorite, it’s only available for a short time, and the distributor out here is a #$&(&4 douche, I usually stock up with between 10-20 cases to last us the year. This year did 12 as that seems to be about right. I’ll have one now and again during the warmer months, but it’s definetly better during the early winter months.
Been supplementing that with The Fremont Dark Star, (Big Freemont fan) Sierra Nevada Celebration (really good with Buffalo chicken), Einstock Porter, North Coast Old Rasputin, and what other quality Stouts and Porters we can get out here in the boonies. If your into coffee Stouts, check out Crazy Mountain Snow Cat.
Did try the Bells Abracadabra and the special double cream stout. They were good, but not mind blowing. Would really like to try their Robust Porter and Kalamazoo Stout if I can get it? Perhaps the Christmas beer, but I find Scotch ales, like Barley wine can be hit or miss depending on preference. Personally I don’t like em if their too sweet.
That pleasantly reminds me that Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barely will be available sooner than later which is a nice psychological carrot to get through the worst of winter!

BOLO; burppp, thanks for the tasty snack!

TUNING; insterments often need time to warm up in order to keep good tune. So in those drafty halls etc, even if sitting out, as soon as they crank up the lights and start playing them they can be hard to keep in tune. This is especially true for bolt on necks found on most production guitars. (Like they played before all the custom stuff) If you notice in the later years they tuned much less, because they usually played through-the-neck instruments and had better tuners. The Modulas Graphite instruments Bob and Phil mostly played from the early eighties on had graphite necks which helped with a lot with tuning....also, they are musicians so Smoke breaks are a must! Lol
My dream bass would be one of the early, few, Alembic Instrumets with a Modulas through body neck, boo-ya!

listening heavily to the "Hot Rats Sessions" box that I gifted my self...amazing...Hot Rats, Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Burnt Weenie Sandwich are all present in one way or the other...also last week I took the Mrs to the big city of Phoenix to see Booker T Jones play at the Musical Instrument Museum Theater...what a gas to see him play...he told MG & Stax stories during a Q & A with the audience...i was lucky enough to get to ask him a question and I asked him to talk about Al Jackson, the MG's drummer...he said Al would open his wallet and lay it flat on his floor tom and smack it while playing because he liked the fat sound it made...great time and to hear "Green Onions" live just about did us both in...he talked about writing "Born Under A Bad Sign" with Isaac Hayes for an Albert King Session that the MG's served as the session band with Booker & Isaac playing piano...sweet indeed and I scored a lotta brownie points too...

1969, 1970, and 1971. And in the fridge, Sierra Nevada Pale Ales, Sierra Nevada Torpedos, and Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stouts.

It’s actually a forum on this site.
https://www.dead.net/forum/whats-your-fridge

Oroborous,
Currently drinking a Double Two Hearted, 11%.
Need to finish what I have since the beer store I go to says they are getting Hopslam next week.
Yes, try whatever Bell’s products you can get. If you can get Kzoo Stout give it a try, along with Expedition Stout, an Imperial. I was lucky enough last year or so to get some bourbon barrel aged Expedition Stout, as well as 2015 Expedition Stout that was aged in a temperature controlled warehouse.
Tonight I got 2 bottles of Vanilla Black Note Stout. Black Note is a mixture of bourbon barrel aged Expedition Stout and bourbon barrel aged Double Cream Stout. Good stuff, I have a few bottles aging. Will age the Vanilla for a while too.
Bell’s Christmas Ale is a good a good Scotch Ale. It’s only around for a few weeks.

Anchor Steam, don’t think that I have had the ale since the 90’s. Don’t think I’ve ever had the Christmas.

Sierra NV products - I’ve consumed a lot.

Since we're a beer forum now, I'm curious how people feel about the hazy, New England style IPAs that have become popular? I for one love them, and I never really liked IPAs all that much until discovering those. But I've read a lot of beer snobby purists saying they dislike them and only want that turbo hoppped West Coast style.

Old Nation Brewery here in mid Michigan makes two excellent examples: M43, and Boss Tweed. They've been my main beer jam for awhile now.

M-43 and Boss Tweed in my fridge too.
Excellent beer.

There are some good west coast style IPA’s out there, but there are also a lot of crappy ones.

Wheat beer is my favorite style, so the cloudy N. E IPA’s were a welcome addition to the beer club.

I don’t think that it’s possible for someone to be a beer purist if they only drink west coast style IPA’s, considering that the IPA style was developed by the British, not by west coast beer wannabes.

Yeah, you have to stock up on those once a year offerings.
But then drink them before the flavor changes.
That’s the good thing with barrel aged stouts, the flavor usually improves with age.

Wheat beer is my favorite style, Bell’s Oberon is my favorite wheat beer.
I started drinking Bell’s in 92/93, so I’m quite loyal to Bell’s considering that they have been making quality beer since 85 and are pretty good at it. And still family owned and independent.
Their Lager of the Lakes can stand up against any lager that I have had in Germany.

Bell’s made a really good Pale Ale years ago (the one with the monk on the label), but then discontinued it. Not sure why, possibly because they could no longer get the hops.
Recall that years ago, before there were tons of hop farms in the U.S., there was a hop shortage due to disease and/or drought in Europe.
But that turned out to be a good thing because it started the hop growing craze and the creation of new varieties and strains that now allow so many different tasting beers.

If anyone sees SweetWater G13 on the shelf grab it. There is a hop combination in there that smells and tastes like weed. A very fine tasting IPA.

I for one truly enjoy a tasty hazy New England IPA. In fact I slurped down several of those big bads last night and expect to do the same this evening notably streaming night one of Dead & Co down in Meh-hee-Co. Couldn't make the trip down this year due to myriad reasons, but being able to still take it in from the couch is a reasonable and much less expensive alternative...

Mighty Squirrel brewery out of Waltham MA of all places has a few go-to beers: Cloud Candy NE IPA (its as good as it sounds) and then the Double IPA (these are in fact my favorite) Cosmic Distortion coming in at 8% is a good shoehorn into the next liquid offering.

Since you like Oberon, as I do, check out Griffin Claw's Mr Bluesky. I daresay I like it even better. Griffin Claw makes a great NEIPA also, Haze Force. And El Rojo, maybe the best Irish Red this side of Dublin.

There's so much great beer coming out of MI. Almost makes the weather worth it.

Ice Cream Cone kid, you were drinking Oberon back when it was called Solsun! Its my all-time favorite beer. I grew up around Detroit and now live in Chicago so i've been drinking Bells for over 20 years. We're lucky having Bells and Founders in western Michigan. And 3 Floyds brewery in northern Indiana is great as well, though a little expensive. The Two Hearted (Who Farted) is no slouch either. I'll have to find that Double Two-Hearted. Sounds dangerous.

For anyone around Chicago, check out Super Stout Sunday at the Hopleaf on....Super Bowl Sunday. They get a bunch of hard to find stouts and tap them all day Sunday til they run out.

And now back to your regularly scheduled dead programming.

Hey all, been absent a while, but….

I love IPA and these pretzels are making me thirsty….only 10:00am, fuck I’m sweating....

Anywayzees, I drink a lot of this stuff as well, and I lean probably more towards the Hazy, but I also like hoppy, or both….yum!!! The ones I don’t like tend to be more on the malty side, or the ones that are so light on the hops that it’s hard to consider them an IPA. My favorite used to be Sculpin from Ballast Point in CA, or even better the Grapefruit Sculpin which is a little more on the HAZY side. This was until I had Toppling Goliath’s Pseudo Sue out of Decatur, IA. This IMHO is the best IPA on the planet. It comes in 4 pack of 16oz and at 11.99 in my local liquor store is not cheap, but damn it is sooooo gooooood! Drank a 4 pack last night while spinning some vinyl.

Speaking of vinyl and hazy things……there was a little buzz here recently about 1970. I recently acquired the 8 Disc Box Set of Songs for Groovy Children – Band of Gypsies on vinyl. If you have not heard this, I would highly recommend seeking it out. I don’t have a digital copy or I would happily spread the love. There are some song repeats however each performance is unique in its own way and the sound quality of these pressings is superb. Hendrix is of course at the top of his game, and with the combination of Buddy Miles on drums and also on vocals this thing goes into the stratosphere.

Can’t mention drums without mentioning Neal Peart…RIP I was never a huge Rush fan, and never got to see them live, but I always respected the complexity of their music, and liked many of the tunes that were played on the radio. I have also always been aware of Peart’s talent and would listen specifically to his drumming when Rush tunes were being played. Gave 2112 a spin yesterday, and had an engaged listen for the first time ever. Really enjoyed it. This is the only album I own by them and only recently picked it up, but thinking of getting some more live stuff. Probably Exit Stage Left if I can find a copy on vinyl, but I’ve also read good things about Snakes & Arrows? KeithFan….my condolences to you specifically…26 times live……. wow, that’s pretty awesome!

FYI….Heard a rumor about D&C opening summer tour on July 10th & 11th in Boulder. Looks like hotel prices are going up and many are already fully booked for that weekend. My VRBO is booked…..something to look forward to anyways. Also, this just in D&C & The Who to headline Jazz Fest this year….man that sounds like fun, and I have family in NO….hmmmmm

Sixtus…. So sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my mom just over 5 years ago. She was only 58 and it hit me like a ton of bricks. You never get over it, but I will say the pain gets easier to deal with over time. After mom’s death I turned a lot towards music which lead me back to the GOGD. One of my silver lining’s I guess. Peace and comfort to you and your family in the days, weeks and years ahead.

Be well Dead People,

KCJ

69- except not sure how great “touring” was in those days....thinking of family road trips back then...but the shows!
72- no explanation necessary!
73- Fall 73 for sure
74- probably for sure just because of the WOS! (Being a geerhead/stereo/McIntosh geek)
85- just too dam fun and liked the stuff they were playing, and crazy psychedelic energy, slop and all. Saw 9 shows but so many others I would of loved
89-90- from summer 89 through summer 90.

I don’t think that Oberon is quite as good as I remember Solsun being.

They got sued by the Mexican beer Sol which I think has a sun on the label.

Looking back, 85 was a lot of fun. Not their best playing by any means, but they brought out a lot of cool stuff. I caught 10 shows that year. You could still pretty much do what you wanted without some of the hassle in later years.

No surprise, Saratoga was a blast and a great show. Portland, ME was always cool. I can't remember exactly, but I think that was the year where is was unusually warm all day. When we came out of one show there was a foot of snow on the ground. The Rochester shows were short, but sneaky good. A lot of people point to Hershey. Coming off of Saratoga, it was a bit of a let down. A long, tiring drive through the night and lots of rain.

Song highlights for me were Day Tripper, Keep on Growing, Cryptical, She Belongs to Me (one of the best all time IMHO) and Walking the Dog.

Thanks for bringing up the memories.

Very odd firing indeed. Just two years ago, he won the Jack Adams award. My sense is that expectations were set unfairly high after the success in the inaugural year. What’s more baffling is the hiring of DeBoer from the Sharks. After the fiasco of last year’s playoff series, those two teams (and coaches) hate each other.

Anyone try Firestone Walker's Luponic Distortion?

....Firestone is solid. Been branching out on more fruity beers.

It's a good one too :)

@VGuy, I'm with you on Lagunitas... that's some seriously good stuff. Have you had their Super Cluster? It's an Imperial IPA with Citra Hops... 8%ABV... damn delicious! Goes well with 70s Dead too! (Hell, goes well with just about anything awesome!)

Happy Friday, DeadLand!

Peace

How this thread occasionally becomes so random and non-music oriented. At the risk of offending anyone, I was going to mention that my last 5 were:
Music Is-Bill Frisell
Live-The Butterfield Blues Band-Rhino Handmade 2-cd version
Curtain Call-Jaco Pastorius
One World-Rare Earth
Tarkus-Emerson, Lake, & Palmer

My alltime favorite beer was Samuel Smiths-just about anything they made. Super expensive though. Nut Brown Ale and Oatmeal Stout were my particular faves.
