    Arenas in the spring
    Festivals and the outdoor sheds in the summer. I'd bet something on it...not the farm. Well, since I don't have a farm, betting it wouldn't be such a stupid move. Maybe a little theatre tour in the fall? THAT's what I want to see...hate arenas.

    yea trash the the chairs
    With you on that one, almost all the outdoor shows I've seen had open area no chairs. but yes some venues put them out. i always loved Gen Adm shows the best. I'm hoping for summer tour as well but am so glad this is going to happen and Gathering of the Vibes is coming up in July just gotta keep the faith.

    I would bet money there is a summer tour, maybe in a festival context, but I have a feeling that it will be the south and west only. I’ll take what I can get; there’s really no other place I rather see them (that takes more than 5000 people) than the Spectrum for old times sake, outdoors included. Really hopping it’s festival seating (no chairs on the floor), but I don’t expect it. Even the last few years with Jerry they put out those dammed chairs. Still remember using lighters to burn through the plastic chair connectors so we could fold them up and get some dancing room. The Spectrum one last time! Who would have thonk it!

    Seats
    Well for me seats don't matter just as long as I'm in the door. Usually can't stop moving anyway and is always cool to go up to the nosebleeds and look down at the sea of madness. Sat front row center once in Hartford, CT right in front of Bobby and yes the man spits and Mickey never smiled once very serious the whole time was really an experience though nothing in front of you but the band. paid $80 for that ticket back in 88 was the most I ever paid but was well worth it. Still had to roam around then gave my stub to a friend to check it out for a few tunes. aaaa such fine memories. hand me my ole guitar, pass the whiskey round.

    I agree! In this day and age there are services out there where you can pick the exact seats you want. It probably costs $400 to reserve such seats. It sounds to me like a lot people here have not purchased tickets to a concert since the last time the Grateful Dead toured back in the 90's! :-) "I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

The band says Happy New Year with an announcement of almost twenty shows in April and May.  More details to come!

probably the Going Furthur topic would be your best bet.
