Did anyone get their tickets yet? Waiting on my port chester tix. Thanks!

Ive seen them a few times, but that was my first, November 1981, Hartford, CT. Still one of the best shows I have ever seen. I loved seeing shows at the Springfield CC.

under my thumb Stones 81'

Great show last night! My shirt smells like weed. They came on around 9:10 and ended around 11:20.

Wow surprised at all the ratdog negativity. I agree that the more recent stuff was tough to swallow, but they had a really good run IMHO. I had more fun at some of the ratdog shows than I did at dead shows in the nineties.

My two cents on the ensembles after Jerry passed is that I always loved rat dog with Wasserman on the stand up. Cheap tickets, low key venues, acoustic stuff and lots of great tunes. The years with Sylvester before he got sick were also great. Some great shows 2002-2005. Never really dug the other ones, the dead or further. Not a Warren, Jimmy Herring or JK fan. Same with Phil and friends, except when Chris Robinson or Jackie Greene is part of the band.

100% agree that stella killed the momentum crazy fingers, china doll, must have been the roses are others that just should be avoided IMHO That being said, I was really surprised at how good this band sounds. Mayer is excellent and it is easy to forget how critical the DRUMS are to Grateful Dead music. Grate time!

Amazingly, I won tickets in the Amex contest for tonight's MSG show. It has been a very long time since I have been to a show with Billy and Mickey onstage. Keeping the expectations reasonable but it should be a good time!

I was at that show. Hartford was my hometown venue.

Super easy for me. GA both nights at the cap in under 3 mins.

Done. Great live tune!

Capitol theater!

I was able to get two tix for Saturday night about ten mins in on the mobile app They are in the last row of the right balcony. Probably the last two tickets sold!

The rolling stones 1981 at the Hartford civic center First song: under my thumb Most memorable (Tie): You Cant Always Get What You Want/Jumping Jack Flash To this day I vividly remember the sing a long and Mick going nuts during JJF.

I tend to agree about the hype. Is there anyway that these shows could live up to the hype? I kind of doubt it.

Pearl Jam Borgata AC 2005 One of my buddies and I had all been drinking before the show and needed to hit the restroom. The public bathroom had a line out the door, it was at least a 15-20 min wait. I see this security guard standing in front of two big doors and I say, I will give you $20 if you take us to the bathroom you use. He proceeds to open the door and we are walking down the hall when Mike McCready comes walking down the hall. He could not have been nicer, signed my poster and let me take a picture. He waves us off and proceeds to walk into the VIP room where the entire band and Ace

I think they got trey to make sure the stadium was full, as I suspect they may have some trouble selling out three nights with kimock or JK on lead. Same with the GD billing-gotta make it a dead show so they fill the place. I am 100% uninterested in this event. I may be a fun time in a great city, but the grateful dead is long gone IMHO.

The three nights of port chester. First night was probably my favorite. Austin city limits first weekend-just an amazing musical event capped off by pearl jam. Robert plant at the cap-finally got to hear some live zep tunes.

I think 4/18/82 is fantastic. But I am biased because that was my first show. There is a unique "earthquake" space as well. 04-18-82 Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, Ct. (Sun) 1: Bertha> Promised, FOTD> C. C. Rider, Ramble On, Me & My Uncle> Mexicali, Althea> L. L. Rain, Big RxR Blues, Let It Grow 2: Cold Rain> Samson, Ship Of Fools, Playin> Eyes> Drumz> Phil's Earthquake Space> Other One> Black Peter> Sugar Magnolia> Playin> Sunshine Daydream E: Don't Ease

The ashes jam was one the top moments of the three nights.

I was also confused.

Very happy with the quality of the boot (FLAC). Great to relive this fantastic night of music.

Another great show. The ripple was just terrific and so appropriate. Great songs, great fun and great highlights each night. Please do it again next year.

The crowd was definitely more chill on night #2. You are right different vibe, a bit less upbeat.

this is such a great run definitely more mellow last night Nels on ashes was nuts loved radio cure, kettle, hotel Arizona all great
