Another integration dead and gone. No dates set yet, but I'm looking at a final Alpine Valley show for my last hoorah and shakedown with copious amounts of acid. Who's coming with me??

I’ll go to “hopefully” both nights at Wrigley this year.
Also, if they play the gorge in Washington I may make that flight.

Also, I hope Mayer finds a way to carry on The Dead. He’s been a welcome addition , IMO
He's hinted at it. I think he enjoys the young hippie puss.
I haven't seen any rendition of the Dead since 95. Thought of going to Soldier in 2016 but then I saw those prices, Yikes. I'll stick to the occasional Panic and Greensky show for my fix. Better product, smaller venues, better crowd, at a better price.
‘went to fiddlers last year and boulder this year. Very pleasantly surprised at how good the shows were.
sad day indeed
Although can’t be too many of the original deadheads left
Meyer certainly has helped bring a new younger crop of fans in recent years

Itll be worth going next summer if you can swing it.
I went to both shows this past summer at Wrigley and they were incredible.
It amazes me how good Bob Weir still is.
Stugotz has to be pissed right now. Won't see him on the show at all next summer.
I’m not sure you can make the case panic 3.0 is a superior product to something that includes Bob Weir, Chiminti, Oteil, Billy, Mickey and Mayer. No disrespect to Jimmy Herring, but 16 years in he still lacks the soul and sound that was created by Mikey. Its fun to see Panic a time or two a year but my days of traveling to see shows ended over a decade ago. The lack of new material has diminished my interest significantly compared to say Phish, which continues to write and create new material year after year, I suppose that just speaks to how critical Mikey was to the songwriting process for the band, huge void they haven't been able to fill.
To me, the issue with tempo is more evident if you try to listen to a recording of a show versus actually being there. Thought this past year the band sounded better than ever with this current lineup. I think you have to acknowledge the tempo has to be slower, my goodness Billy, Mickey and Bob are in their 70's, to expect anything different is probably unrealistic. Its a treat we can still see living legends.
I like JRAD but feel like they've gone a step too far as it relates to 'space jams'. My last show seeing JRAD at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield was probably my least favorite JRAD show to date. Perhaps it had something to do with being AF for that show, but they noodled beyond belief that night and it really got tiresome. Perhaps if I had dropped some acid or ate a few caps it would have been different, but I feel like they've taken it a step too far as it relates to essentially having space jams within and in between each song. With that being said, looking forward to JRAD on NYE
You can make a real strong case Panic is better than slow and Co if you've listened to a majority of both groups shows this year. Panic at Beacon or Fox Atl blow away anything D/C have put on since inception.I’m not sure you can make the case panic 3.0 is a superior product to something that includes Bob Weir, Chiminti, Oteil, Billy, Mickey and Mayer.

Best of luck getting tickets. The Phish ticket release was a fiasco. I've heard the best idea is to go through a casino with a package.
My understanding is D&C isn't completely done playing together, they just are done touring. I would suspect shows at some of their major stops each year like Soldier Field, Santa Clara, Boulder...
Loved both shows I saw them at last year.
If I could get tickets I would love to see them at The Sphere

6 weekends with 17,500 seats available per night. I doubt many will hit multiple weekends as the 3-day runs will all likely be similar in terms of setlists as the content for the screen needs to be preprogrammed to synch with the music, at least that's my understanding for the Sphere. That and prices are pretty steep.
That's 105,000 tickets if everyone is hitting all 3 nights per weekend (not exact as obviously some will only do one night, and there will be some who hit multiple weekends).
The biggest issue with getting tickets as so many are eaten up by the brokers and casinos for resale. I know people who were 300th in line for phish online release and were shut out.
Buying tickets has just gotten more challenging every year. I miss mail order or standing in line at your local ticket master location.
