Please No Reid Genauer/assembly This Year Or I\'m Going To Be Sick
Sorry To Be Offensive To Anyone
Now I Can\'t Post In Caps? What Is Going On Here I Thought I Was Special
I wish they would have Vibes in BPT again that was something else. Good to see they got some Dead relations going again after last years travesty.
ratdog is going to suck compared to the dbb reuinion and masters of funk 3 hour jam session that they had last year
no fuckin way dude....with fuzz and jenn d they are
****...fuzz can shred almost as nasty as tpalms
I love The Grateful Dead. I really do. When I was 14 I transposed the entire Dead Anthology book into Eb so I could play my saxophone along with Dead CD\'s. But I am sick of all this Dead cover band and side project nonsense. Enough is enough. It really bothers me every time some Dead knockoff that is milking limited talent by playing Dead tunes gets a big slot over a current jamband that is taking the music to the next level. I think these Dead bands have a place at festivals because The Grateful Dead paved the way for all of this and there are still lots of Deadheads out there who eat the stuff up. But that place is NOT headlining festivals. If Ratdog were playing at 3PM I wouldn\'t have a problem with it. However, there are too many smaller bands who are touring their asses off who need that slot to give it to bands that are already rich and don\'t need to try. The Grateful Dead had 20 years as the exclusive jamband in America, I think that\'s quite enough headliners for one band.
I never saw the real thing, so I absorb any glimpse at what it really was like, lovingly. I definitely hear what you\'re sayingh though..
