I have always felt that Carlos Santana would be a great fit for the post Jerry Dead.

:lol: Who the fuck do these guys think they are? Was thinking of The Forum but now seeing the prices, fuck no!

If the last couple gigs they have done is any indication it will most likely go down like this:
Phil wanting to sing the wrong songs.
Bob fucking up the lyrical meter of his own best songs.
Bill trying to keep a steady beat over Mickey\'s wandering drum thumping.
Warren playing every tune as a blues number and playing over everyone while Chimenti just tries to keep a cohesive melody amongst the madness.

I mean if they were serious about performing Grateful Dead songs in the framework most of us are familiar with I would be curious.

too classic, true, but alas, I probably will still pay $120 for 2 tickets.

Might try to do

Albany
Worceter
MSG
Continenntal
Hartford
Nassau

Maybe Philly as it isn\'t that far.


Revised.

From the looks of ticket price. I don\'t think I am gonna go to any shows. I love the Grateful Dead but $100.00+ for tickets is crazy. I have plenty of tapes.

I think that there are two distinct fans out there with some cross-over.  Both tours are going to be financially successful regardless of the ticket prices.  Once could make a case that Phish is overcharging at $50+ for lawn seats, but if you\'re a fan and you want to go, you really can\'t complaign.  I won\'t be catching either tour (Dead - Prices / Phish - Venues :thumbsdow), but I\'ll definitely listen to a couple shows from each tour.

I\'d like to applaud everyone in this thread who\'s cutting back or not going at all based on these prices. If enough people stand up maybe it\'ll teach these greedy fucks a lesson.

Blondie and I were stoked to go until we saw this.  She called me with the news and after a moment of stunned silence we agreed that was absurd. I\'ve said it before, I\'m done overpaying for washed up nostaglia acts. The Rolling Stones soaked me back in 1998 for $75 a pop for a poorly played version of Hot Rocks.  Lesson learned.

For those prices you can go to a festival and spend all day/weekend hearing up and coming bands in their primes.

Also- in 1995 I paid $35 to see GD.  With 5% annual inflation (more than the actual) that would put current tix at $66.  Of course, in the 1995 you still had JG, and Bob Dylan opening.

$66 would only bring you up to 2008, in 2009 that 5% brings it up to just shy of $70.  That being said.  There\'s all sorts of new fees tacked on besides the ticketmaster fee.  I just went to ticketmaster to see what fees I would incur.  I chose Steve Winwood (a similar degree artist)

Ticket - $60.00
Ticketmaster Convenience Charge - $10.50
Order Processing Fee - $3.65
Standard Mail Delivery - $4.00

Total cost for one ticket - $78.15 (23% of that price fees) / that is what I\'d be really upset at.
