Announced new tour


kicking off April 12 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Thinking about getting me and my Dad tickets but not exactly sure what I'm in for. Any fans that can lend some insight?

When do tickets go on sale?

Let me know so I can get some homeless people to stand in line all night and then scalp them on Craigsbay.

Jerry must be looking pretty rough.

1/6/2009 4:47:27 PM

OH SHIT, REALLY?! GRATEFUL DEAD ON TOUR?!
I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO GIVE A FUCK!

1/6/2009 5:27:39 PM

plentiful drugs and veggie burritos, what a great idea!

1/6/2009 6:00:33 PM

typical

1/6/2009 6:57:46 PM

I'm not into cover bands.

1/6/2009 7:14:49 PM

Are they actually touring as the Grateful Dead or are they touring as the Dead? I'd actually rather see Dark Star Orchestra than to see a halfassed GD with no Jerry...

1/6/2009 7:49:51 PM

they are touring as the dead ( Bob weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann). And then there is also Warren Haynes, doing the lead guitar/vocals, although i'm sure Bobby will be singing as well...

HAY GUISE LETS GO SEE ZOSO AT LINCOLN THEATER.

1/6/2009 9:20:27 PM

Bob Weir and Phil Lesh were looking very rough the last time I saw them with their separate bands Ratt Dog and Lesh and Friends, and that was back in 2000. I'd hate to imagine how bad they'd sound 9 years later and still without Jerry.

1/6/2009 9:35:54 PM

yea fuck The Dead, I saw them back in high school in like 2004 or so and they totally sucked ass.

1/6/2009 9:47:35 PM

lesh has been killing it with his most recent lineup (as long as he doesnt sing)

and yes its the dead not the grateful dead

also jeff chimenti will be on keys

I accidentally went to see Cosmic Charlie one time. This Ramones cover band called the Rawmoans was playing at the Cat's Cradle, but I got the night mixed up so me and my homeboy paid $10 each and walked in there to find a room full of hippies. I was like "WTF" and got my money back from the dude working the door on the promise that we'd come back on the right night.

blasphemour

LOL. Made me think of the "Touch of Grey" video.

I will be at this.

1/7/2009 5:55:20 AM

who cares? and listens to this crap

1/7/2009 11:08:43 AM

i might go to the MSG show if tix aren't crazy expensive, which they likely will be.

1/7/2009 1:00:12 PM

really i just dont like warren haynes, but id love to see the resdt of them onstage at the same time

but warren hayes just doesnt do it for me

1/7/2009 1:53:29 PM

I never really got into Government Mule, but some of his other work (with Allman Bros Band, and the song he did with Corrosion of Conformity) is really good.


and the Grateful Dead were awesome...but I wouldn't make any special effort to go see this show.

1/8/2009 7:43:07 AM

i will be going to this...

pretty pricey though. i will be in the nosebleeds.

how can people claim to like music, but act like they don't like the dead?

2/26/2009 8:33:05 PM

b/c it's cool to hate hippies

?

2/26/2009 9:29:04 PM

i fucking hate this band, their fans, their live shows, and everything associated with them

except for a few of their records, which i begrudgingly admit kick ass

2/28/2009 3:37:27 AM

American Beauty is one of the greatest records ever made, and in my top 10 of all time.

Beyond that record, I've never had much use for The Grateful Dead.

2/28/2009 4:16:38 PM

yeah, that's a great album. i have a vinyl copy of it.
