Saw the Dead 30 times starting in 1982 when the scene was relatively small...Broome county in Binghamton was the smallest show I saw with like 6000. Jerry stayed in the room next to us and I got to meet him...cool guy... We must be around the same age, mine was a JGB show at Kean College on 2/28/80 they put it into CD form, Robert Hunter showed up it was great. First show was like a month later at the Spectrum. Jerry was great guy. It's funny I was 14, my buddy 15 and we would go to these early shows with them they being 9 years older they were 23/24 it seemed like they were old men. Lol. It's a shame the Spectrum is in such a shithole city because it's a great concert venue. |

I stopped counting shows at 350, If Big Red is Phish guy me no listen, me no care, so technically no reason for hate. Pitch me one of their songs that sounds most like Phish and nobody else let me take a listen, please. Second set opener, Tweezer, I'd say is a great example of where Phish is now. For me, they're very different from where they were in the mid/late 90's. I've seen them 115 times. Wife and kids have kept that number down over the last few years. Can't say I like any of it, but.....and maybe it's just those examples, do they cover any Little Feat? I like how the Dead took their instruments and for the majority of the song you here each instrument individually as they move towards the end of the song..... |

Halloween 2010 they covered the entirety of Waiting for Columbus. Pretty sweet. |

Saratoga Springs was a great place to see the Dead... Buffalo not so good. The acoustics we the Worst when the played inside here . Not really. There is hardly any view of the stage from the lawn, which is too steep to begin with, and 5-9-77 wants to fight you over part II. |

I've heard the 77 Aud show and I ll stand by my comment...besides the Barton Hall show in 77 is probably the best ever... |
