Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know.
Not my cup of tea but I am amazed on how large of a hard core group of fans they have. I have one friend who has pretty much been to every Weir included show in all configurations for the past 18 months. Every show with a VIP ticket. The amazement is that there is a group of almost 200 people who go to every show with a VIP ticket as well. Obviously enough people love it enough to spend a lot of money getting it.
Similar to the all the Springsteen crews of all nationalities. LOL. One difference though...no pay extra for being up front tickets at Springsteen shows and there probably won't ever be.
I just remember these Italian cats that used to come over and seemed to be in the pit every night
I know who you are talking about and they WERE in the pit every night. There is at least 50 people that I have never seen NOT in the pit. I could write a book on how some game the system. The effort they put in is mind blowing. There are also some long time fans who have connections which get them in as well as some fans that Bruce has told his crew that he wants them in the pit all the time. So many stories...
Taking another look at the schedule, they've got 3 days between Shoreline and Boulder. Maybe a chance for BK to rest up and acclimate to the elevation?
So I predict there will be another show added on July 4th, it makes most sense for this to happen in Hartford as well. So it will happen before the scheduled show on the Tuesday the 5th. Just by looking at the schedule, nothing else.
Billy, even in his now seriously reduced abilities, playing really nothing but the same tippy-tap beats over & over, still has the classic shoulder/hip shake natural rhythm that is the Grateful Dead DNA.
Even when that guy drops his fork it makes everyone at the table slip & slide their hips.
I bought tix for 6/13 and 6/14 at Shoreline this morning. Won't lie, part of the reason i did was bc 'what if someone dies in the band before I see them one last time?'
Is anyone else here going? Good thing I have a reserved seat to nap in during Shakedown Street, etc

No need to qualify why you're going to DeadCO. I've enjoyed every show I've seen live, and 98% of what I've couch toured. I'm considering Bethel. That place is so nice.

I was shocked to see two nights in NYC. Last year with just one night, extra tickets were abundantly flowing at the door. Lots of empty seats. I guess it's worth it for the venue, they can make a profit on beer sales alone.
Clearly, this has nothing to do with the musicians or the band, this is either just more modern day poor "journalism" or it's Live Nation playing games to boost sales.
It's my impression that there aren't too many things that piss off Bob Weir, but this just might.

I bought tix because I don't know how much longer Dead and Company will be touring. I've seen them many times already.
They are a one of kind unique entity. I passed on seeing the Grateful Dead in June 1995 after my last show in Dec 1994 and now wish I didn't.
hope that clears it up. Thank you.
