Winston Legthigh Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm going back and forth with trying to snag tickets to the Dead & Co. show at Alpine Valley this weekend. Pro: "Dead" show.Cons: 2 hour drive each way, going solo, the Alpine Valley parking lot will add 2 hours, other old man reasons... Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've decided not to go. Too much good-will capital spent and 5 hours in the car are not worth it. I have a boys' weekend coming up, and I'm going to Pitchfork next Saturday. Fare thee well! Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They announced a webcast of both nights, if that impacts your decision. That's cool, just told my wife that it would be cool if they webcast the Sunday show - we're heading to the Saturday show, but decided against the Sunday show. Now we can watch the Sunday show at home. Also I just realized this morning that this Saturday will be the 21st anniversary of GD's last show -- guess it will be nice being up there seeing Weir,Hart, and Kreutzmann.

Maybe kick back and enjoy the couch tour of both shows, and keep that wife good-will capital in the bank. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Whoa! 2 night pass for the webcast for $50, or one night for $30?? Guess I'll just put the headphones on and get back into that '78 box. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah - $30 bucks is too much - that's why I don't do the webcasts very often. The lawn ticket was $40. Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yeah - $30 bucks is too much - that's why I don't do the webcasts very often. The lawn ticket was $40.Along with Phish, they should do one free one per tour and make them $10. Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I would not be able to take anyone seriously who spends $30 on a Dead & Customers webcast. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 How was the show Calvino? I checked out the set list. Looked nice. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 How was the show Calvino? I checked out the set list. Looked nice. Had a great time - perhaps a little too much... Beautiful day - the lot was fun and it was festive inside, too. A nice quiet campground near by -- all was good. From a music stand point, I though the St. Louis show I saw last fall was a bit better, but Saturday's night show no slouch. They definitely are pretty tight - no major f-ups.The band definitely keeps things interesting --- must admit this band is one of the better ones since 95. I was going to watch last night's Webcast - but figured I wouldn't make it past the 1st set - I was beat. Link to post Share on other sites

The Fenway shows are listed for 6:30, just trying to get a sense of how long after the stated show time they actually start. Link to post Share on other sites

The Fenway shows are listed for 6:30, just trying to get a sense of how long after the stated show time they actually start. Not sure if I am the best person to answer this - I wasn't really paying attention to the time. The start date on the Alpine show was 7:30pm - I believe, they took the stage around 7:40 or so. I think the venue had a 11:30 curfew. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 An imagining of the classic Dead album that never was: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/147291210917/summer-of-dead-one-old-score-we-interrupt-our Pretty good, but I think a bit short on Weir. I'd take the early solo albums, plus the live and unreleased stuff from the era and make 3 classic albums. The Summer of Dead series in that blog is worth checking out, this year as well as past years if you're not familiar. Link to post Share on other sites
