Grateful Dead

Wow, after being totally humiliated through every meticulous rule change and shifting stage locations and confusing prices just to buy tickets from the band and TM for the "The Dead-Chicago" Since getting a "SYSTEM ERROR" message after capturing Two 3day tix and successfully getting past the shipping choice waiting to pay for my cart, the final progress bar spinning then pause then spin then pause then tossed aside and denied. A 45 min experience from joy to disgust. completely resigned myself from conversation about Chicago and think in-the-round is for mono (The Bear would not approve). This was a life preserver tossed to those of us 2-300 show vets, tapers, stage hands, who got denied. Let me tell you a paragraph or two about Jerryweather Post Pavilion. The roof that covers more than half the seats is made of wood. Wood is Good for sound. There are no concrete side- walls obstructing sound so it just flows out into the concessions. When Jerry Garcia Band played September 1st and 2nd 1989 I only had my standard heavy duty mic stand with umbrella. It was a farce getting that in. A toss over the fence to Red and I stealth-mode got the sony and cables and decoy tapes. (Just in case). We set up on the grass just right of the soundboard. My Nackamich 300’s attracted some attention from another stealth taper who left a deck with me so he had “Up-Front” with hat-mics and my crushing sound from the hill. I had some pretty big guys in our Dew Crew. It was easy to set-up and then lower the microphones until I got the tap on my shoulder that Jerry put his camel cigarette dow and turned around and was ready to start. These were our best sounding JGB shows to date that we could reproduce from metal tapes. When “Pure Jerry” released our shows in a 4 cd package I thought Karma is at work, keep it up. Since '89 1 spent 15 years living in Atlanta where I learned to love most of the bands listed and have lot’s of friends in Atlanta that I hope will be there. (They Panic) I am so grateful. Cub

ah, maybe for a DVD/CD release. I was wondering if they will all gt together (phil, bobby, bruce, billy, and mickey for a set, not likely then, huh? - more like a song or 2 or an encore

It's not a concert per se, rather a live venue to record a concert...ala Love for Levon or Greg Allman All of my friends, it will be dynamite but premeditated....I took the better half to the CMAs in 2013.... Very memorable, but canned performances.....I'm sure it will be a hoot for those who chose to partake.
