One of my friends got her mail order ticket confirmation email yesterday for the July Shows.

Me too ---- I don't have cable, so I am thinking about subscribing to MLB.tv, so I can watch it through my Roku---but it looks like local teams are still blacked-out in their areas - which sucks.

That's good --- I thought they did stop streaming official stuff --- Not being able to stream the Europe 72 shows seem criminal. And who knows about the Soldier Field shows --- I am guessing GD mail order had maybe 10% of the tickets - if that.

Didn't the Archive pull officially released Dead soundboards - where you couldn't even stream it - or am I misremembering that. Anyway listening to 2/26/73 - which was Dick's Pick #28 - never listened to this show before. https://archive.org/details/gd73-02-26.sbd.kaplan.1208.sbeok.shnf

I am sure the size of venues has a lot to do with it. I saw him at a small, nice theater in Chicago during his last tour-- just bought the cheapest ticket and I think it was around $60 or so. Good seat, though - dead center in an upper balcony seat at the somewhat small Cadillac Palace. Starting in 97, I use to see him every time he passed through Chicago and traveled to IN, WI and MI to see him throughout the early to mid 2000's - now I see him about every 2 or 3 tours - it depends on the venue his playing. Since about 2006 or so, I always say it's the last time. I didn't catch any of

I did for about the last hour this past Sunday - enjoyed the (what I think was) Funkadelic tune - (long guitar solo intro).

In concert, I bet he doesn't sing more than two off his latest record ---- but then again anything is possible. I am guessing Stay with Me, since he has been playing it, and That Lucky Old Sun - a song he used to perform in concert from time to time.

Finally got around to watch this --- it was good one, very well done - the music and interviews meshed very well. Never realized that Lisa Fischer won a Grammy before. Darlene Love sure got the shaft by Spector - what a dick.

I just can't imagine them not streaming the show and charging for it - of course the City of Chicago Park District, who owns Soldier Field may not allow it or charge too much for the privilege, thus making it not feasible from a financial point.

Having kids might be the reason why I would want to catch one of the shows in a theater...Of course they are 3 and 5 --- I guess if you have kids and they want to see it too, it could get pricey.

I was at my local neighborhood pub and talked to someone who believes that Bigfoot like creature lives in the southern Cook county forest preserves.

I remember those Big Foot episodes, too - fun stuff. A local free channel still runs both the 6 Mil. Man and Bionic Woman on some week night.

They'll make a fortune with a simulcast, so I can't see them not doing it. I am sure the city/union will take large chunk of the revenue, but I am sure there will be plenty to go around.

Now that sounds nice.

I had fun at theater Grateful Dead movie nights -- lots of dancing and other stuff going on. I wouldn't say it was a free for all, but nobody was bothered by staff/security. Knowing me - I would end up just staying home, too, though.

Watched the Reverb show last --- it's amazing how different the band is now (for better or worse). The first time I saw WIlco, Egan has already left the band -- I didn't think he added too much to the sound. Leroy was a welcome addition.

Right.

Was there a throw down? Would of liked to seen that Sleater-Kinney show - it was tough ticket to get - at least that's what I heard - I really didn't try to get one. Listened to that JRAD show that Lammycat went to - it was a good one - esp that China Cat-> GDTRFB that was mentioned.

As long as they rehearse all the songs they plan to play - guess it doesn't matter if they don't know what song the are going to play. Does anyone know anyone who mail ordered and still waiting on a response. Heard from a couple who got rejected (and all was filled out right) - couple who not heard either way. Really hoping I get lucky on the day of sale - regardless, I am sure they will be shown on the web --- If they can pull off showing it at movie theaters, bars, or clubs, that would be even more fun. I am sure most of you already seen the article, but below is WSJ link about the mai

It's true: 'street cats making love' are annoying. Hell, all cats doing or making anything are annoying.

I guess 'Paper in Fire' by Mellencamp in 87 - the opener at my first concert. Hell of a show and tune.

That's insane --- best of luck to you people. Glad to be living in 'balmy, some-what-snow-free' Chicago area.

Listened to the 2/12/86 show this a.m. -- fun, quick show. Garcia's voice is a bit rough, though. The Neville Brothers added a lot in the 2nd set. https://archive.org/details/gd1986-02-12.sbd.miller.81517.flac16

I really have to be in the mood for them -- I need to pull out their stuff soon - it's been a while.

As I started to read this I thought your were going to end with: "I'm going to cut you into little pieces" The below is one of Jagger/Richards better ones: The sunshine bores the daylights out of me. Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
