And, how would you know this? You can actually remember the show and what went on? I was to young for such things as Woodstock and Dead shows. By the time I was old enough to care I had stripes on my sleeves. Not many good concerts going on in Cheyenne.Bubba wrote:If you'd actually have been do a show, you wouldn't say it's boring.RENO wrote:Never been to a show either.

Re: We Will Get By, We Will Survive!!!!
guess like anything else but perhaps more so in this case, you either "get" it or you don't. brought friends a number of times who just didn't get it and on more than one occasion couldn't wait for the show to end. and of course as anyone who "gets" it knows, it wasn't really a "show" in the traditional sense - more like a musical environment ...madhatter wrote:I dunno, I saw the dead in 82 hfd, ct. BORING, all 3 of us that went fell asleep during it... These days I have a little more appreciation for the music than I did back then, but I was never "into" the dead in any case...Bubba wrote:If you'd actually have been do a show, you wouldn't say it's boring.RENO wrote:Never been to a show either.

Having been to a number of GD shows, they were always great...except for "Space" drum solos. Those always bored to death.

Re: We Will Get By, We Will Survive!!!!
brings to my mind a show when my sister brought one of her best friends (maybe not after this show). it happened to be the night when jazz saxophonist david murray sat in most of the night. he's considered a very "outside" avant-garde, free player. anyway, during a very extended space, she apparently left the garden in tears.Humpty Dumpty wrote:Having been to a number of GD shows, they were always great...except for "Space" drum solos.

New country talent arrives to jam with Jerry tonight.

Re: We Will Get By, We Will Survive!!!!
Jerry Garcia is still dead. Get over it. Saw them a bunch in the 70's when they toured with the Wall of Sound, and in the late 70's when I lived in SF. Honestly, in the 80's Jerry was not in great shape, and the last concert I saw (post stroke) they buried him in the mix he was so far off. Still, even at their best they could be the worst and the best band ever. Sheesh get a life. Phil Lesh is closing in on 80, no longer tours (but still gigs at his own club). Time to move on.
Re: We Will Get By, We Will Survive!!!!
personally I'm not a dead fan at all, its ok but hugely over rated IMO ( I know blasphemy, to each his own)but plenty of people like it and I can understand why they do...I'm still always happy when someone finally changes the music to something else...rogman wrote:Jerry Garcia is still dead.

can't remember the last time I went to Laconia ( that right there should tell ya) but I'll never forget rolling down the hill towards weirs beach doing the 1/4mph all day creep, hearing touch of grey and deciding I was buying a sportster when I got home...Still think of that bike every time I hear it...

Re: We Will Get By, We Will Survive!!!!
Nothing sadder than old bands and singers hanging on as their talent fades into history. Love the Dead from the late 60s through the mid/late 70s. After that, meh. Best show I ever saw was at the Fillmore East in 1971 when they were on stage with the Jefferson Airplane and Papa John Creach. Fifth row center seats and the show lasted from 8:00 PM until 4:00 AM. Nothing could ever top that.
