gomper Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I agree.These were my heavy touring days. This was the last Golden Era. I always felt they were never the same after Brent died in '90. '91 was very good but after that their game started to slip mostly due to Jerry's drug habit...and don't get me started on the choice of Vince. All in all, thanks for sharing...good to see fellow Deadheads here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Amazing about the Dead's keyboard players. Life imitating art with the Spinal Tap drummer thing. How many keyboardists have they had who died? Keith, Pigpen, Brent, Vince… that's a lot of Dead pianists for one band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Furthur started a three night stand at the Bill Graham Auditorium last night. Saw them there two years ago on NYE. It was a three set five and a half hour monster. Last night's set looked awesome and can't imagine what they have in store for Saturday night. I'd go but the wife is not a big dead fan. But something electric about "The Dead" on NYE in San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh she already told me I could but I'd rather spend the night with her. Aren't I nice guy? And Primus is at The Great American Music Hall tonight too.

Chef Jim Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 i have the audio and listen to it often.... I also have the Trucking Off to Buffalo DVD. Not as good as the Philly show but cool to see them at Rich Stadium. I only saw them live once. My wife got me tickets for my 30th birthday. I wasn't a big fan at the time so part of the show I didn't get. But then again I was sober at the time so no drugs or booze for The Dead is like having sex with your clothes on.

The Poojer Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 ive only seen them a couple times, i got into them late in the game, my own stupid fault...but i have seen DSO, RatDog, Lesh & Friends and hoping to see JGB in a couple weeks here in town. Keep missing Furthur, but gonna make it a point this year if they come close. I just really enjoy their music, it can be foreground music or simply background music...ive recently found its great work out/jogging music...one dark star and a couple other songs and bam, your workout is over, or at least mostly over...just great music to chill to. Fascinated also by the whole Dead phenomenon and the people that make it up... I also have the Trucking Off to Buffalo DVD. Not as good as the Philly show but cool to see them at Rich Stadium.

Fascinated also by the whole Dead phenomenon and the people that make it up... Furthur is pretty damn good. Not a big fan of Bobby but it is as close as you'll get to reliving the Dead (wow, that's deep). John Kadlecik nails Jerry's guitar. But having seen DSO you already knew that. You can stream tonight's show if you're up late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. youtube.com/watch?v=XB7OT2o7x2k Thanks for sharing that. There are certain things that are great about being an old fart. Number one is the music. Number two is chicks going braless.
