Thanks for sharing this! I bet that was a heckuva show. Long-time Dead fan here... I haven't seen this particular lineup before, but hear that John Mayer has been a solid addition. (Bit surprised by this based on his previous solo work, but hey -- if it works...).Roncador wrote: Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:10 am Went to go see dead and co on my birthday at the sphere in Vegas, cool is an understatement!

So many people like to hate on John Mayer just based on the simple fact that he isn't Jerry and doesn't play like Jerry. We both know that nobody will ever live up to what he did exactly but I think Johnny is a good fit for the band. His style is definitely more blues/ pop influenced. But it works out beautifuly in my opinion. His up beat style makes you wanna dance every time. His rendition of shakedown street was one of the funkiest shakedowns I've ever heard. I was skeptical at first going to see them since most the music I listen to is live recordings of the greatful dead, but I was really impressed. At first I was just expecting a really good cover band but it's so much more. They are truly keeping the music alive I think. And at almost 80 Bobby and Mickey are absolutely kicking ass. I'm sure allot of it had to do with the sphere itself and how much engineering went into it to essentially create the ultimate concert venue. The accousitcs are truly unreal. As Trey Anastasio of Phish described, it's basically laser sound. They could be playing one thing on one side of the sphere and another on the other side and you'd be hearing two complete different things depending on where your standing. Anyways rant over. Always cool to meet other deadheads especially ones that like to fish!!salt water guy wrote: Sun Sep 29, 2024 11:02 amThanks for sharing this! I bet that was a heckuva show.

Dark star was actually the first song I ever listened to by the Dead when I was 15. Granted not a 20 min long "live" dark star but the one off of "What a long strange trip it's been." To me it's pretty clear the song is representative of the transformative experience brought on by well... You know. You might have a different take but that's mine.

I would again disagree.camobass wrote: Tue Oct 01, 2024 8:09 pm There’s good arguments to both views of his death ….my buddy was at his last concert and claimed there was some weird stuff going on, like a send off for Garcia in simplest terms.
There’s a lot of strange rock star deaths that are riddled with some pretty compelling evidence that points to murder…. Illuminati is real.

No doubt that all the coke and heroin took a toll as well as the diabetes but the music industry is evil. Not a fan of her music, but to me there's no doubt that Selena's family sacrificed her. There's been allot of strange deaths surrounding the family members of different artists. And in the Memphis rap scene, rap sigils have been around since the 90's. They'll go commit a murder record it and sample it into the song.
