i absolutely agree with you. i\'m only 18. my parents aren\'t dead heads, so i wasn\'t really introduced to the Grateful Dead until after the passing of jerry, unfortunatly. i had seen The Dead a couple of times before. they were good, but nowhere compared to the magic of when they had jerry when i listened on tape or disc. i had heard that DSO were coming to a small theater around my area, so, not expecting too much, i decided to go. from the first note, i was hooked. i could close my eyes and it was like i was actually seeing the grateful dead in \'73. THIS is what i had been looking for and what i had imagined i had been missing out on. i am thankful to have had the opportunity to experience what the sounds might have ben like at a grateful dead concert. i mean, maybe if i had actually seen the grateful dead with jerry, the novelty might not be as great, but i didn\'t, so this is the next best thing in my opinion.
as always, my $.02 are free.
