Cool that people think things will be normal next Spring. I'm going to wait and see, but really the only reason to go back for Dead & Co is to hang out with friends. WrestleMania is the weekend of 4/19 that should be an interesting clash of worlds.
Kind of ironic that the photo in the advertisement showcases lots of exuberant dancing with plenty of room to move around outdoors under an endless sky.
To sell an indoor seated experience in a crowded, high security, "sealed" venue.
The former is reality-based "analogue" experience. The latter is a simulation-based "digital" one.
Progress....? (I'm guessing no facial recognition technology was being employed at the former.)
I find the expression "Dead Forever' kind of depressing.
Instead of implying swaggering allegiance to a group (of outlaws e.g., Angels Forever) it spurns life and negates resurrection or reincarnation. Bummer.
I would at least try it out once, but so far, the dates aren't cooperating with my calendar. Seemed like people had no problem getting cheap tix last year at the last minute on Cash or Trade so probably won't pull the trigger quite yet.
I discussed with a friend but I can't get into spending 2-3k on something that doesn't fully excite me. All the people who go, love it. And I'm intrigued by the sound system and checking out the experience. Sounds very unique.
Something about watching a screensaver while zoning out to B music reminds me of college
>>>>spending 2-3k on something that doesn't fully excite me
I have friends that paid way, way less than that last year. Like under $100. I could probably use miles to fly to Vegas and just spend two nights, hang out in the pool and maybe catch an Elvis impersonator.
I'm hoping there will be other venues this summer sphere press release says only shows at the sphere in 2025 not only shows in 2025. 15 shows at MSG would be great
We did an entire weekend for around 1K all in, rooms are cheap....and tix are easier to come by than you think...we did 1 @ first weekend and 1 @ first weekend of August...definitely going back this spring.
So in my next movie Scorsese has me dressing up like a Dancing Bear……I said a “Dancing Bear”…What’s a Dancing Bear? It’s like a Furry for druggy suburban kids….And, get this…I get to play an overweight guy in sunglasses who loves to do coke… ya gotta love it….. I’m typecast… I’ll dress up like Sugaree for that… but now Martin just called and said the gig is on hold because the movie backers just spent all their investment money on tickets to the Sphere? Wtf? Then he said. "Unfortunately, the patchouli scented future smells like John, not Jerry”…What does that even mean? He also said maybe I want to get some cosmetic surgery…I think he said “including femur extensions”?, and I havta check into rehab and that I should practice lots of gooney facial contortions. Yeah, like what Adam Sandler looks like on acid when he stubs his toe.…if I ever wanna get the good chicks and make the really big bucks. Rolex bucks....

Like I told Scorsese..."Don't cancel the Dead movie just because no one remembers Jerry Garcia. If he's ancient history I can still play the new guy. No problem. I got this. I just imagine I'm crapping an actual 6 ft tall Saguaro cactus out my backside the morning after eating a meal of Trinidad Scorpion hot peppers. I look just like the dude. Lights! Camera! Action!"
>>>Is there such a thing as negative shits to give<<<
When you're in the path of a tsunami, the best advice is to just get out of the way.
Like it or not, D$C is MASSIVELY popular with the young, middle aged and old. Whatever one's arguments, those who aren't into it are just the minor fringe.
Sort of like those of us who weren't really into post-coma Grateful Dead.
It's all relative, but ultimately it's all still multitudes of happy people loving & grooving to Grateful Dead music.
Ive seen them a few times over the years. Including what's considered some of their "great " shows. It's all just sterile and clinical sounding to me. Sure it's pleasant enough but there is no depth or boundaries pushed. Perfect for the Disney era of this franchise
Jerry and Phil were the boundary pushers.. D and C is ok and fun just glad there is still an outlet for Bob and Mickey Mayer is a fantastic player.... He's got to pay for Henson's studio somehow... GD bulletin says Sphere shows are the first of the 60th celebrations. I think they were planning FTW take 2 and now are trying to figure a way forward without Phil his rest his soul
Sitting here on drugs after the hip replacement. The whole thing is owned and produced by Mayer. Bob and Micky are his employees. They get a good cut, I think they made 40 million. Judit you not a minority. I know most of my friends that went only saw the dead in college with friends and never went back till they hit the sphere. The most embarrassing thing I have seen was dead and co at Jazz fest it was so slow impossible to even dance, the worst show in my 66 years except for disco biscuits opening for Phil at Red Rocks or them at the Greek opening for Phil
