Phil Lesh announces 2019 79th birthday shows at the Cap in Port Chester

Forums:

March 14, 15 and 16 a Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

 

After the Philoween debacle in which I swore never to pay to see anything that included Ross James again - this time Shappy is hyping the pre-sale with this:

"Phil will be playing with “a fresh lineup of old friends and first-time collaborators.” - https://twitter.com/capitoltheatre/status/1075405536257064960

>>> ...fresh lineup of old...

 

wish i could afford to go.

Shappy is hyping the pre-sale<<<<

He has to hype it - but until there is an announced line-up - I'm out.

Daylight the Tweet Slayer!  The Democrats need to hire him!

so if you already know the lineup is fresh, then you can share it with us before tickets go on sale instead of being a slime ball? right?

Phil Lesh Sets 79th Birthday Celebration at The Capitol Theatre

phil79.jpg

Phil Lesh will once again return to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, in March to celebrate his 79th birthday with three shows at the venue.

Although the lineup for the group of Friends Lesh will be welcoming at the shows has not been announced, the run, set for March 14, 15 and 16, promise to see the Grateful Dead bassist teaming with “a fresh lineup of old friends and first-time collaborators.” Specific band members will be revealed in the coming months.

A ticket pre-sale for the shows begins tomorrow, December 20, at 10am ET, with general ticket sales starting Friday, December 21, at noon ET.

 

 

IF anyone cares, the presale code is PHIL79     Buying tickets to see this band is like playing 3 card monte on the sidewalk in Harlem

This shtick is getting old.

Jackie?

Just when you thought it was over, WHAM.. frfksake ! playin the two hundy gamble..

Billy Strings will be there.

Has Ross James been promoted to a 'friend' yet? At some point this will happen

MFRJ will not be there. 

Michael Kang will be there.

Note -  only possibility of The Q would be the Thursday show on Thursday 3/14 as WSP has gigs scheduled in Maryland on 3/15 and 3/16 already.

>>>>Kangfirmed

hahaha SIIHB

Lol only thing they are selling on pre sale is loge  

It doesn’t matter who he plays with, the shows are always good and it’s Phil fucking Lesh. Go to the show or STFU!

>>>>>>>I DONT CARE WHO PLAYS WITH PHIL, ITS PHIL

 

Deadheads tend to have addictive personalities.

>>It doesn’t matter who he plays with, the shows are always good

No, they are not. Not all Grateful Dead shows were good either. All musicians have off nights.

>>Go to the show or STFU

I went to over 200 Grateful Dead shows and at least 100 post-Garcia shows by various GD members in the last 23 years. I do GO to the show. I saw Phil multiple times last year. So STFU can go both ways.

For anyone who cares, all tickets were available, not only loge, as of 2 minutes ago.

$200 for GA floor? Lol

Stanley Jordan is available. 

$250 for "VIP" GA? Lol

Who hasn't played with Phil but knows his setlist? 

#bobbystrickland

He has to hype it - but until there is an announced line-up - I'm out<<<<

But does he?  Is it like an "itch" that he just has to scratch no matter what?

I'm in for Fri & Sat, on the fence for Thurs, we shall see once the line-ups are in. Staying at the La Quinta in Stamford again, see ya freaks on the floor.

 

Balcony and GA available now for $100

Never understood why people give a shit what someone pays for their entertainment.

 

Phil does what he wants...

You do what you want.

Bitching about it is free...

People like free.

cap is played out. 

phil should take a real band to the new philly met for a handful of nights in 2019.

 

Not announcing a lineup has been played out since it's inception.  The Cap is still a pretty damn cool place to go in the NYC area. 

I hope that the $200 tix price ateix mentioned is a joke!

I'm not sure any "friends" would get me in for that price.

 

$200 for GA floor? Lol>>>

math is clearly not your strong suit. 

 

Decided against the lineup gamble, if they announce friends that are worth the trip i might go.

Clearly not a true phan. 

Nah Fog, it’s reading that I struggle with. This is what I was looking at:

>> PRE SALE: EARLY ENTRY TICKET 
THE EARLY ENTRY TICKET INCLUDES: ONE GENERAL ADMISSION FLOOR TICKET EARLY ADMISSION INTO THE VENUE A LIMITED EDITION KNIT HAT COMMEMORATING PHIL LESH'S 79TH BIRTHDAY CROWD FREE MERCH SHOPPING LIMITED AVAILABILITY <<

GA floor is 100 bucks and fees. Back of the room balcony for 60. Nothing to see here, mea culpa.

I just really wanted that knit hat.  

I hope it's red, white and blue to match the wristbands. 

They could of at least shown a pic of the knit hat. If i end up going ill check the merch table pronto.

I did check on the tickets and nothing good was available in the balcony. Maybe today.

Picked up 2 center balcony row C for $227.49 all in.

Always a fun road trip up to The Cap, fun people, good times.

Hope the lineup is worthwhile...............but it will be fun and................IT"S PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY TRAILS!!!!

Which nite?

We are in for friday, row A balcony.

 

(KNIT HAT)

Oh, got excited and forgot to post, I'm in for Saturday.

Should be a knit Cap instead of a knit hat.

Ok, we're gonna need to see the hat/cap in question to judge.

A LIMITED EDITION KNIT HAT COMMEMORATING PHIL LESH'S 79TH BIRTHDAY

any friends news? any sighting of the hat? anything? any predictions on how long they will jerk us around on the friends announcement?

Booked Flight , rented car, Mom's psyched...The Cap box office are real cool , issues ordering from France. 

'Hey Thomas. You’re all set for these tickets.

Let us know when you arrive so we can meet you and say hi, would love to get a picture of you and your mom for social media "  We'll Be in ADA , 91 year old Ma mma tried, and me

...

This lineup works for me. 

Tench and Molo...4 guitar players...Amy Helm....and Phil?

 

Yup....works for me , too...

 

Very interested to see what Tench brings etc...seen him many times w TP, but dont know alot about him, except his history etc...he s obviously talented as all hell

Oops, see ^^ lineups split ..different nights for guitarists....prob better that way...;)

Is that squirrel logo new or am i out of the loop?

Very interesting lineup, huge potential. See ya friday, possibly saturday.

That Will Be ________ Great FUN __ WE Love PHIL heart

Molo is supposed to be in California March 15 & 16 for the start of the Green Leaf Rustlers tour !!! How is he going to pull off these shows too ?

I would imagine that a different drummer will start the GLR tour.

Shappy & Phil almost certainly pay better than Robinson & the small rooms his band is playing will.

GLR was smoking hot at Sweetwater last weekend, it would be a shame for Molo to miss any of that tour!

Who the fuck Cares PhiLs gonna be 79 , I remember  when I was a youngster

Solide line up .glad  I'm bringin mom

"Is that squirrel logo new or am i out of the loop?"

The latter.

Watch the light projections on the walls/ceilings -- the squirrel makes many appearances.
