Anyone else in ? I just did the same on Monday. Looks too good to pass up. Got a single in section 124. Let me know what you end up doing.

Lammycat Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The Centrum is beautiful this time of year (I don't think it's the Centrum anymore, actually). Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I hate going to the Centrum any time of year. Always traffic heading from Boston, and it's always packed inside trying to move around the perimeter promenade. I hate that Phish always plays there. And yes, I still call it the Centrum (just like I call the summer shed Great Woods whatever they call it now, and same with Harborlights). I can't keep up with all these name changes.

Analogman Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I know someone who won some of those free tickets to one of the upcoming shows today. He was already planning on going to one show - so now he can go to two shows. He's a fan of John Mayer and The GD so I am glad to see he got the tickets. Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 truckin up to the the cap to see phil on 11/6 and 11/7. was curious about dead and co show THU 11/5 in philly - on the way- looks like GA floor tix are readily available- same for FRI 11/6 in DC. Kinda, but not really surprised... think the tour ticket sales are that weak?? Should i roll into philly for a $20 dead and company appetizer before i relish the steak in NY (see what i did there)? I'll be happy to report back on the shows!will not be reporting from philly, sadly.not in the budget- once the face floor seats dried up (due to tour buzz, chaaaa),1/2 day hotels were not price copacetic (it's a shame).I beat myself up watching mostly excellent youtube shots all weekend.2 nights at the cap with Phil and friends on FRISAT is no small consolation prize, so no complaints.I appreciate the cheering - you know who you are.

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkThe old Centrum was a pit. Saw some really good shows there (a Terrapin 2nd set opener in 84 comes to mind). I remember big metal barrels with fires in them by the RxR tracks to keep warm by, too.... Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Dave's Picks 16. Got it in the mail yesterday. Good stuff. There's a few audio hiccups in the opener: Cumberland Blues, but they settle in quickly. Great show so far (I'm only about 1/2 way through the first set - this show has 30 songs!) I love the supplemental newspaper coverage included in the liner notes - especially the bit of the cops thwarting some dudes tying a chain from the arena's backdoor to a car - perhaps a young Navin Johnson trying to prevent some robbers from getting away?

worldrecordplayer Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Got mine yesterday. Listening today. Halfway thru disc 2, into second set. Loving it, but then again I'm a sucker for '73 Dead, my single favorite year of their music. Going to leave disc 3 for a late night burn under the headphones. Like the Jerry bust in NJ story in McNally's liner notes. Never heard that one before. And at the end where he writes how Cutler called John Scher to bail him out. My daugter is good friends with Scher's daughter, and I grew up going to Scher produced shows in the NY/NJ area, so I get a big kick out of that. Sounds real good for the original 2track, except McNally is right, piano is way down in the mix. Link to post Share on other sites

Dmada Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 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! Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 That's cool --- probably will miss the web-stream tonight -- hopefully someone will capture it and put it out via torrent --- if it will be allowed. Link to post Share on other sites
