There was a lot more to the Dead than just the shows. The whole experience was what it was about...the music, the shows, the scene, the lot, the people, etc...DMC wrote:I don't... I miss the shows...junior wrote:The "lot", as you put it, was a big part of the Dead experience. The lot was where you did your business and took care of "things" for the show, and where you were for hours afterward.
I miss "the lot".
I would go to shows... Just put a chair up - drink a few beers and watch..junior wrote:There was a lot more to the Dead than just the shows. The whole experience was what it was about...the music, the shows, the scene, the lot, the people, etc...
How could you follow the Dead on tour and not be part of the scene?

The tickets went faster than rice bags out the back of U.N. relief convoys in Solmolia. But like DMC and myself were saying, they make for good theater. No offense bro.

Had lots of friends on tour - they'd stop by - we'd drink... whatever..
I always thought the lot was sketchy...
I really was in it for mainly the live music.. Which I miss a shitload...
Oh. Sorry. Normally the term "junior" is gender specific. I have only been on the ZONE for a few months.junior wrote:RossiSkier wrote:Well Junior, a lot of them were unbathed tie-dyed drooling types trying to sell me crafted grasshoppers made out of crabgrass.

None taken. Not sure why you would even say that. And why are you calling me "bro". Shouldn't it be "sis"?
I guess it used to be. The original Junior is my husband. He no longer posts here. Although "Hal" may tell you otherwise.RossiSkier wrote:Oh. Sorry. Normally the term "junior" is gender specific.

Could not have put it better myself. Enjoy the shows Bob.BobR wrote:I miss the lot so much I'm going to hang out in one tonight, tomorrow night and the next night. I will catch the shows also. I do enjoy having the option for a drink in a bar also. I like to tail gate and do the BBQ. The mail order, the drive, the lot, the show, its all part of the scene for me. No its not as good as it was, but it is all we have left. No complaints no regrets.
Walking throught the "lot" at the "dead" show in Camden last summer was pretty f-in scarey... Lot's of really sketchy trustafarians... Selling heroin and stuff...BobR wrote:I miss the lot so much I'm going to hang out in one tonight, tomorrow night and the next night. I will catch the shows also.

He can still be reached on the SR board I correspond sometimes still with him over there. Usually about GD stuff.junior wrote:I guess it used to be. The original Junior is my husband.

We're talking about the Grateful Dead, the real thing. Not the current version called "The Dead".DMC wrote:Walking throught the "lot" at the "dead" show in Camden last summer was pretty f-in scarey... Lot's of really sketchy trustafarians...

I vowed for the second year in a row I'd never see "the dead" again...
