The Dead Video IV: Frosting on the Cake

warren is great, and jeff is pretty darn good...

but if they got bruce and kimock to sign on i woulda gladly forked over my 100 dollars.

No comment!

Cant wait! Got a floor ticket for Denver! Gonna be sweet!

sounds great. doesn't sound like 100 dollars though.

whoever goes will have a lot of fun

the fact that they chose warren to take the place of jerry as apposed to kimock or someone that would match jerry better, and the fact that they are only playin big arenas instead of... lets say red rocks just makes me think that they are only worried about the money. if jerry was still around i don't think we would be down. warren is gonna play beautifully but i just don't hear the dead sound as well with him. hopefully in the future the dead will bring back kimock and play some better venues and really try to make the dead sound the way they should.

i'm down...wont lie tickets for this tour were/are pricey, say what you want nastalgic or what have you, its 3 out of 4 of the core...obviously no jerry and some replacement around them..but they are good and who knows how much longer we'll be blessed with these guys rockin and a rollin...truckin to buffalo. a good show to one and all...enjoy

picked up my Cindo DEAD Mayo tickets this afternoon, $100 each for 3rd row center balcony, I can't wait!!!!

cinco, not cindo, that wouldn't make any sense.

since glassworks wasn't the first to say it. PPPPPHHHHHIIIIIISHHHHHHHH

if jambase wants to give me tickets i would absolutely love to go see em!

Conflicted..... This is the last time The Dead will really be out again, and this is the 1st time Phish is back.

Conflicted as either one requires I travel, but if I could only take one show... which one....

Dead Tour 2014 and I'm there. Tickets cost just 180 Ameros!

I am sorry but Warren Haynes does nothing for me, with or without the Dead. I could think of at least 4-5 other guitarists that would have been a better fit. Haynes guitar work is alright, but his vocals are downright awful.

I will be seeing them at the Forum on 5/9 in pretty decent loge seats. I saw Warren play with them in 2004 in Irvine and i thought he did a great job...obviously not the same as Jerry but Haynes is a tremendous player and adds a lot to the sound. I'm happy to have the opportunity to see them again and hope it won't be the last time they tour. While it's not the same as seeing the Grateful Dead, the scene is still good...at least it was in 03 & 04 in Irvine.

ben getting jammed=(Mr. Known it all ),hey ben have you ever see the Grateful Dead or are you just talking shit again.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

(Lets just recite AC/DC Bag to piss everyone off)

I don't think they are trying to recreate what they did for 30+ years with Jerry. Sounds to me like they feel the Dead music and sound will always have new twist and turns. With people that bring new ideas, and the ideas they bring to the table from there own bands (Ratdog, P&F, Mule, & so on) they feel they can do things in ways they havent done before while still remembering and being able to feel Jerry in the music. If you ask me I would much rather see a group of guy's trying to create new magic not recreate old magic.

well after "lets get down to the nitty gritty, lets get this show on the road." They say I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Wanna just start from the beginning my friend?

Kimmock doesn't have half r=the energy that Warren does. It's not even a comparison. KImmock sits in a chair when he plays. It bums the audience out and they sit too.

I'll never find out though with 100 dollar tickets

Miss Jerry,But Warren and the Other guitar players ,played some great shows and great songs .Phil and Ratdog played alot of songs the Grateful Dead would no longer play,like Cream Puff War and my favorite St. Stephen.Should be agreat tour.

I would rather see phil and friends for $45. Larry and Jackie tear it up.

Love the videos,how about a show in Fl.were blue now....CT

you know there is a reason why Warren Haynes is #23 on Rolling Stones all-time guitarist list and Kimock isn't even mentioned. Derek Trucks, Jerry Garcia, Duane Allman, Dicky Betts, Robert Randolph, John Fogerty and even Trey Anastasio are all in the top 100. I disagree with a lot of the names on the list, but please! Can anyone honestly believe that Kimock is a better guitarist than Warren Haynes (He can move those fat-stubby fingers in ways that should be impossible). I know Garcia liked Kimock, but Haynes is a world-class musician and one of the best guitarists ever.

I wasn't talking shit, thank you very much. It was non-sequitur if anything.

haha i cannot believe you brought up the rolling stone list. pathetic. curt cobain was # 13, which makes your argument officially null and void.

I agree that warren is right for the job but that rolling stone greatest guitarist list is complete bullshit.

I am so tired of all the picky deadheads... "Tickets cost too much!", "Warren Sucks", "Bring Back Kimock".... all the ranting and raving when the SBD's got taken off archive. I love the Grateful Dead as much as anybody but it is OVER folks. If you want to see some good music played by some great musicians I bet these guys will deliver this Summer. Or if you prefer Phil or Ratdog or DSO or whatever go to that. No one is making you see these shows and I bet if Jerry were alive he would just be happy his old buddies are still alive and still making music.

KIMMOCK KIMMOCK please let phil and steve settle there diffrences so that we can get on with the true show

^^ WHOOA carry me down, down...down down down down. [insert trey face melter and gordon funk rift]

its not about whos better kimmock or warren, they are both good just very differnt. yes kimmock in my opinion imitates jerry more, he has that sweeter sound that can go up and down the scales almost jerry like so i understand that aspect, but he also doesnt sing, the dead need a singer too. and warren is a fucking rock star, you can go watch warren and just stare at him play, so whoever made the comment warren does nothing for you, you really havnt listend, hes one of the top guyS out there period. his vocals are very southern rock, its an aquired taste. last time i saw the dead in 04 with warren he busted out a "death dont have no mercy" in saratoga and it was the best version of that song i ever heard, he gave me chills. so, they are both good but one benefits the other more, i mean do you really want steve kimock on guitar with joan osborn on vocals?? naaaaaaaaa ILL PASS

I'm a big Warren fan, but dude, bringing up the Rolling Stones list is credibility suicide. In addition to that Cobain travesty, EVH is way down in like the 70's and where's my main man, Joe Walsh? There are so many holes in that bogus list. As far as the Dead thing goes, Warren's a good guitarist. So's Kimock. Whatever, they chose who they chose, I think they've earned that right. But you know who's the worst guitarist of all? 100 dollar tickets, that's who. He can't solo worth a damn.

and to all those people who didnt get dead tickets, they are not sold out, they are being sold for double triple rightnow till day of the show. then they'll have alot left that they will re-release, dont be fooled, JUST WAIT IT OUT. its been happening with alot of shows. trust me, MSG, day of show there will more then enough, maybe even below face.

If you're criticizing the choice of Warren because he doesn't sound like Jerry, then let me sadly remind you: Jerry is gone. To request that the band try to find a Jerry duplicate is borderline disrespectful. Warren's got the spirit and he's got his own style. I think it blends well with the Dead in a different way than Jerry. And that's what you're going to get from any other guitarist you choose - different. Unless you pick DSO, but I'd feel really awkward about that set-up.

if the stock markets keep falling ,peolpe will be trading those $100.00 tickets for food.with all the money the government is giving these failing banks,Maybe they should buy a round tickets for the country.could be any worse than what's happening now.

I have a feeling that many of you didnt read my whole post... I said that I disagree with a lot of names on that list, like Trey Anastasio and Fogerty, to name two... I was showing that Warren is a lot more respected guitarist the world over than Kimock. I think they missed a lot of great guitarists on that list, and they had Kirk Hammit(?) at like number 12 or something, (metallica guitarist) that is BS, robert randolph in top 100? That is BS. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up at all, but Warren is up there with Hendrix, Garcia, Trucks, Allman, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King... he is one of the all-time greats... just watch him play.... I have my own opinions on Kimock, (seen him play twice and didn't think it was that special) but I have learned that Kimock fans are very defensive and will attack without mercy at any notion of Kimock not being the best, so I wont go into details about why I think he is inferior to Warren.

I miss Jerry

love them or hate them but kirk hammit brings the heat and desreves to be in the top 20. i mean just listen to any metallica solo that guy is no joke, next youll tell me van halen shouldnt be in the top 20 either, im not a big fan , but eddie is fire

frosting on my balls is more like it. THERRRR GRRRRREEEAAATTTTT!!!! Warren better not use this money to support his cheesburg and Coke habit

yeah and trey shoulndt use his tour money to support his heroin and zoloft habbit THEEEERRRR GRRRRRREEEAAAT!

It never ceases to amaze me the endless debating that surrounds deadheads. back when I first saw Grateful dead in 89 and "got on the bus" I quickly realized there will never be concenus of opinions among deadheads. back then you had heads saying 60's or 70's Grateful Dead was the 'true' Grateful Dead, blah, blah, blah.

People this music and whole scene is about the music that this amazing band(collectively) has created or the last 40+ years. Grateful Dead members have come and gone(Pigpen, Donna & Keith, Brent, Vince, & Jerry)but each incarnation of the band had something to contribute and this latest version will as well. Like they said, this music is built on improvisation and being in the moment. This is the moment we are living now.

Be GRATEFUL they are still living and making great music. The music is what being Grateful Dead-head is all about and I can't wait to see them in Greensboro and Philly!!

Thanks Bob, Phil, Mickey & Billy for doing this!!

If you think about it people, the only reason why they got Haynes, besides his great guitar skills (not as good as Jerry's of course) is because they need somebody who can belt out the tunes, Bobby can't sing all of them and Haynes has a great voice, so that's why they probably didn't get Kimock. I'm just absolutely disappointed in this whole tour since the tickets were too ridiculously pricey, the Dead is just about money it seems like these days, I love these guys individually, but I'm truely displeased with this reunion...I'm just gonna go and tour with Hot Tuna instead!

Hot Tuna is on tour?

wooohooo sounds great see you guys in greensboro!!

if i were near you i woudlnt be far from you!!!!!!

man..seriously..be happy..it's the fuckin' Dead. stop being ungrateful and get ready to see and hear some of the greatest music ever made! See you in Greensboro (section 124!!)

i really don't understand anyone that says warren haynes voice is bad, i in fact think he has a great singing voice. he sounds like an allman brother more then a member of the dead, but then again brent had a pretty scruffy voice as well (and i loved brent). i also think he is a great guitarist, who can play any dead tune, any classic rock tune, some pretty heavy blues, and he loves R & B. he may not be jerry, but no one will ever be jerry. if you're gonna bitch, then stay home. it will leave more room for others to dance. Buffalo tickets are 56.50 which is steep, but will be worth it. phish tickets are getting up there too, except the dead got more people in the band. VIP are steep, but then again they are VIP (box seats i wonder?). see you at the Hong Kong Shanghi Banc of China Arena (HSBC). peace.

my bad. buffalo tixkets are 56.50, plus a 20.80 per ticket charge from ticketsnow (rip off), 5.00 HSBC Arena Fee, and a 3.00 convenience charge. that's 50.00 in fees for 2 tickets. those 56.00 tickets now look like 70.00 tickets and they are for nose bleeds. i've got tickets to hampton, but may not make to buffalo and that's right down the road. sad, because i never miss a show when any of these guys come to town, including warren.

can you not buy tickets at face value anymore or are they all legal scalpers now. ticketmaster takes you straight to the scalpers for way more and they own the company and tickets are not sold out. WTF????

They should just swallow their pride and get John Kadlecik from DSO to tour with them.

I've got a feeling you know what you did...

ac/dc bag, ac/dc baaag

ac/dc bag, dc bag...

(hey that really was much more fun than arguing about the dead!)

and i just wanted to say that i love bobbys beard,

i wonder if he does civil war re-enactments?

SERIOUSLY. FUCK THE DEAD BITCHES.

I don't think anyone's pleased with ticket prices, what fan of the dead would? but naturally they're gonna play the larger arenas so as to accommodate more peeps, and as a result, like it or not, prices will not be the 20 or 30 bucks of yesteryear. i was dumb enough to not pick up a ticket when they went on sale and will likely be looking for one in the lots, but you'd be unrealistic to expect a ticket for less than the 60 bucks that upper tiers and such are running for venues like that with ticketmaster. not favorable at all but that's the shape of things. and in terms of warren, he'll bring the same heat to the dead as he does to the allmans, regardless of where he ranks. gonna be a rockin party for all those involved.

I knew they were getting back together when Warren band Gov't Mule went on tour with Ratdog last year. Warren came out with Ratdog every night for a least two songs. Bobby sat in with Mule just about every night of the tour. Warren has a history with Phil (PLQ) and now Bobs comfortable with Warren now to. It was probably Warren who convinced Phil & Bobby to tour together one last time for the fans. Warren playing in two bands with 40 year anniversaries this year.

I may be a head now but Kirk Hammet played acoustic guitar at 1997 Bridge School show with rest of Metallica and it was awesome. They played a super sweet "Tuesday Gone" and Kirk slide work "Four Horsemen" was off the charts. Somebody videotaped the screen at the shoreline and I bought it a Mystery Train music store in Boston back in the 1998. Kirk not number 13 but he is in my top 100 and John Mayer isn't!

c-mon guys 100 bux 4 tix is not that high-hell ive got speeding tickets that were 250 and no insurance tickets that were 1400.00-at least my cash will be goin to the dead this time,even if it is for warrens cheeseburger and coke habit!!

yes ok so warren may be able to "belt out" the tunes-let him do it with abb or mule!!id rather look at joan osbourne for 3 hours personally!!i would love 2 c herring or karan or jorma(yes hot tuna is playin)but warren is who they chose and all of us have to deal with it:( -ill go to shoreline if it dosnt cut into my burning man fund

Look the ticket prices suck but its gonna be a great tour. I hope i get to see a show or 2. 1st of all how can any of u jabroni's really think Kimock would be a better fit than Warren. Warren shreds to the 9th degree. Kimock is an extremly talented player but couldnt hold warren jock strap. Just listen to Phil describe Warren saying how the fit is magical. I think the men in the dead know who will be a btter fit then any of us do. Myself included I'm just in agreement with the boys.

With no Jerry this is just plain dead.

Go see Dark Star Orchestra do it better...

The members of DSO will be at some of these shows

Phil is the man!

manjotar... that's some funny shit! The resemblance between him and Robert E. Lee is uncanny!! Dead summer tour '09 begins at Gettysburg!

phil and warren can have each other if they love one another so much....

who knows? maybe its for stef scamartistos coke habit?

I Looooove Warren. Amazing guitarist, amazing singer, he's one of the more soulful musicians out there. But, he's no Steve Kimock. Steve has one thing that no one else (besides just a select few guitarists on this planet today have)...and that's the "IT" factor. Personally, I'd rather see him in a small club in small town,USA...but on the big stage with The Dead...wow, that band would get their ass kicked by the little toaster. And ya know who would gain from that ass kickin'?? US!! :) Phil needs to let go of his ego...and let the music play.

MOUNTAIN JAM 2009!!!!! Gonna be worth every cent

Sooo, what's up with GDTSTOO Mail Order?? I didnt know that I had to wait sooooooo long to find out if I get tickets or not. It woulda been sweet to know if I had the tix before the tix went on sale to the public! Is this not a retarded system or what?? I am tryin to get to Charlottesville...any one else in the same boat? Not knowing is killing me....

VIRTUOSO- MY ASS! IF WARREN STARTED DIETING, MAYBE HIS FAT STUBBY FINGERS WOULD SHRINK AND HE COULD PLAY AS FAST (AND AS GOOD) AS KIMOCK.

IF WARREN WOULD EAT LESS, MAYBE THEN THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHARGE 100 PER TICKET TO KEEP GAS IN THE TANK OF THE TOURBUS... THE HUGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BURNED IS OF COURSE A RESULT OF HAVING TO HAUL WARREN'S FAT ASS AROUND THE COUNTRY. NOT TO MENTION THEY HAVE TO PAY CATERING AT EVERY TOUR STOP. THEY SHOW UP EVERY MORNING WITH BREAKFAST... SAUSAGE AND EGGS AND BACON I'M SURE.... AND ALL DAY THEY HAVE FULL BUFFET'S OF ALL KINDS OF HOME-COOKED-FOOD FOR WARREN. GO VEGGIE WARREN. IT WORKS. HE'D BE 175 POUNDS BY THE END OF THE TOUR IF YOU WENT STRAIGHT VEGAN :)

AND I'M NOT KIDDING ABOUT THE CATERING, THEY SPOIL THOSE BANDS ON TOUR, THEY GET WHATEVER THEY ASK FOR FROM THOSE CATERERS. SOME BANDS CHOOSE TO EAT HEALTHY, BUT 20 BUCKS SAYS WARRENS EATING STEAK DINNER WITH BUDWEISER EVERY DAMN NIGHT.

FUCK WARREN.

crazyleggedelbow??? who are you ? do you want to meet up so I can slap you? Because I would slap you so fucking silly you really would be what your name states. An idiot is what you truly are. There is no place in this world for people like you. Let me guess you are fat too and you were backstage somewhere and Warren beat you to the buffet and got the last of something you wanted? Right ? Or wait you are a skinny wanna be hippie totally stuck up on guys like Mr. Kimock and you are attempting to stick up for what? I know both musicians personally and they would both slap you along with me. Name the place we'll give you a run down of what love is really like backstage late night, you idiot!!!!!

are you seriously threatening me? you're gonna slap me sooo silly aren't you? you know everything about me based on my comments... ooooh you know warren and kimock personally...oooooh. then maybe you can convince warren to hit the treadmill and you can tell Steve that he is missed by all the real dead heads...

if you're such a badass how about you come to chicago then? you gonna slap me in chicago? i'll see your punk ass there then you douche. Warren Haynes sucks compared to Kimock. you must be some sort of custy loser. you think i'm scared of you? i'll walk by you on dead lot and when you wake up in the hospital spun retarded we'll see how badass you are.

you can eat me.... brahhh...

oh yea. did everyone see how upset this loser got that I called his hero a "fatty" i love when people get all riled up over internet shit and they threaten to beat the other person up. send me a PM dude, and we'll figure out a place to meet up at a dead show and "WE CAN HAVE A FIST FIGHT ABOUT WHO IS THE BETTER REPLACEMENT GUITARIST FOR THE DEAD" yea that makes a lot of sense. fuckin custy.

you are the custy thats what is so funny. Are you afraid? because you should be, you are an idiot. Slapping you will be far from a fist fight. I think everyone here can see who the loser is you little kimock cocksucker. ha ha ha ...

seriously... i'm still laughing... this dude said he would beat me up because I HATE WARREN HAYNES and made fun of his weight... FOR ALL I KNOW YOU ACTUALLY ARE WARREN HAYNES & YOU'RE PISSED SOMEBODY TOOK YOUR FAT FINGERS DOWN A PEG OR TWO.

And to ACTUALLY REPLY to something you said "Sir Douche" you ask why I'm ripping on Warren and what am I sticking up for? I'm sticking up for the fact that they should have Kimock and NOT WARREN. Warren sucks compared to Kimock. You need to learn to deal with the fact that other people have opinions that differ from yours. if you couldn't pick up on my ACTUAL OPINION from my first comment, you are controlled by your rage and should seek anger management....

you really are 15 huh? I get it now. Nevermind. Get on with your pathetic life, little custy. You've never really eatin or seen the magic I've seen so go spin you and yourself out and get all bent on shit you know nothing about.

AFRAID? of $100 tickets maybe, but not douches who defend Warren Haynes to the death. i won't send you the first private message... cuz then I will be the instagator. but if you send me one, we can meet up on dead lot somewhere and fight. if you think i'm afraid of some pussy on the internet, you got another thing coming dude. ok I'm done with this custy website. I'll come back and check my inbox periodically for updates from my friend to see if he really wants to meet up and fight with me over my opinion. ya know you really took a lot of offense to the fact that Warrens fat fingers hinder his playing....

get help. take your meds brah

ooh you got me again. dude. keep em coming. i'm waiting to see your message in my inbox with location/time of our supposed "bitch-slap fight" in which you will school me on how Warren is better than Kimock... do you even play any instruments brahh? i'm a guitarist of 14 years. I say WARREN SUCKS COMPARED TO KIMOCK. END IT.

oh your only 14 that explains it. I've sent you 3 pms idiot! Apples and oranges dick, I like em both thats it! you need serious help.

Really????^^^^Sad, just sad. Both are great guitar players, I am a Kimock man myself, but that exchange is just sad. Here's a thought why don't you both go hug it out....sad....weak...sad. Pussies.

I hope you guys meet, fight, and both go to jail where you can't post anymore.

Oh, okay, sorry for sticking up for my two favs.

OK GUYS I SAID WARRENS FAT. I'M SORRY. I SHOULD HAVE SAID "I DON'T LIKE WARREN. I PREFER KIMOCK..." NOW I'M GETTING THREATS FROM A DOUCHE WHO LIVES IN CALI. HE WANTS TO KNOW IF I'LL COME TO CALI AND FIGHT HIM. I SAID CHICAGO DUDE. WE'LL HAVE TO MEET ON TOUR IF YOU'RE SERIOUS.

Come take a dip in the Pacific dude it just might do you and all your hatin some good. I'll bring Warren and you can take him out for jog or something. Steve would never talk to you though.

"I know steve kimock bro. he totally wouldn't hang out with you...." do you think I care?

arguing on the internet is like the special olympics. no matter who wins. we're both retarded.

Wow,so profound! now go take your meds. Do you want me to send you some really hot sounding KVHW so you can chill and realize your awkwardness.

Mad props to crazy for such a legendary rant, and for being able to admit he's retarded.

i'm actually having fun with this. i just burned one and i realized something... we'd probably get along if we never had this conversation and met accidently in person.

what other music do you like? i like zappa, and primus and Jerry Garcia... Blind Melon was dope. not big into STS9 or Bisco... Cheese is better than WSP & Moe.

JFJO was dope, i hope hey get along well with the new bassist.

Seriously, didn't you say that Kimock was your other favorite? then why are you SOOOOOOO pissed i called warren a fatty... sorry you don't like it when I try to be a stand-up comedian... but I swear to god if you say your gonna slap me, you look like the biggest pussy in the known universe.

BenjaminHuman nice, I see you changed your avatar to a cute animal rather than leave up the "I just sucked off warren haynes and then ate a lemon" face

you guys must be bros. Or wait maybe you guys are mentally challenged?

If they really wanted to have a guitarist to match Jerry it would be tough to do with just one person. They'd have to have Karan, Kimock, Barry Sless, and John Kadlecik all on tour, but having five guitars (with Weir) on stage would totally blow. Trading players in and out would loose momentum - I've seen that before. I'm not even a fan of three guitars on stage at once, so how do you pick just one person? Warren is gonna be awesome, but I really wonder what these guys would sound like with just Kadlecik on lead guitar. Maybe that would be too weird. I saw Ratdog with Karan and Sless together and they sounded amazing. I saw The Other Ones with Karan and Kimock together and that was amazing as well. Oh well, I'll see at Shoreline on 5/10 how this is gonna shake out.

Now we are getting somewhere. You are right we would probably would actually get along and I could laugh about the comedy you are trying to provide. I am with you on the music taste. I am into mental wrestling and the slapping only has to do with checking you. Couldn't imagine a fist fight over this. It was the F Warren comment that got to me and for sure, Everyone is totally entitled to the great opinions of the jambase world.

That comment to Ben was hilarious!

Big Fun. I am home sick as a dog, its 60 and sunny. Just did a b out of z that a friend gave to me. WTF. See you out there somewhere. I'm buying.

SHORELINE.....Home town throw down......WHAAAAAHOOOOOOO!!!!!

How cute, they're friends now.

hahah you guys are hilarious, nice kiss and makeup yall did. I did get a really good laugh about the Warren rant. I am impartial to who's the better guitarist, I like em all. But I am at work and the Warren rant make me laugh hard as hell and really loud, everyone was lookin at me. Thanks for the humor to lighten up my day! Lets all go now and burn one! Happy Weekend and GOOOO STEELERS!!!!

crazyleggedelbow:

i think both of you guys should shut up. the beautiful thing about music is people can have their own opinions and like what they want. if you don't like warren all you have to say is you don't. there is no need to insult him. second, no one want to fight you. he said he weanted to slap you... big difference. plaus warren may not be your choice when it comes to the dead (and i agree they should have kimoch and not warren) but to comes to music.. id like to see you play guitar half as good as warren. you should prolly do what you said and just quit writing on jambase. the last thing we need on this website is more people like you

first off, jerry was overweight and deadheads embraced it, not made fun of him. so back off. 2nd, i never paid more then $150 a ticket and that was for 15 hours of music + camping at big cypress 12/30/99-01-01/2000. will have to pass on this, because there is really no excuse for tickets being this high. you would think with bigger venue, they could lower the price not raise it. i would pay $100 to see them in a small venue, not for nosebleed. i would love to go, but it's too much.

I can insult whoever I want. Sorry everybody gets sooooo pissed about Warrens weight problem being the center of attention here... most of the fat jokes I said were merely that, FAT JOKES... they were JOKES. get it? the one dude got it, he was sitting at work laughing his ass off about it... people on the internet need to calm down... and when dudes act hard and say they would slap the shit out of me, I tend to get a bit defensive.... shit, half you motherfuckers probably are coming back tonight just to see if I came back to talk more shit... ...by the way, whoever said that Jerry got fat and people embraced it, is retarded... you don't embrace the fact that your hero is addicted to Heroin and losing their edge due to a heavy habit of persian white(i'm not making this shit up). as he got heavier, jerry got worse onstage. ask anybody that knows their shit and they'll tell you, shit even phil said that were wasn't much magic from 91-95... you're comparing Jerry at his worst, to Warren right now (which i suppose is his best)... I wish Jerry had never gained weight, cuz he'd probably still fucking be alive...

you crazy kids.

Okay lets get this all straight. Nobody would even be on this site if wasn't for fat man rocks! JJG motherf as, there would have been NO Big Cyp. No big phesties. NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All these jam bands would still be in their garages. We all know its too bad what happened back in the summer of 95. and summer 90! shit. Start giving thanks period or I'll be handing out slaps on the lot. I'll go east just bang shit up. Teach some little pricks some fucking manners. Trey knows it, Mr Kimock knows it, and so does The Chosen One. Warren Haynes!!! Patchwork Quilt anyone? Wise up or leave us we don't need this ignorance around us. Time for more B's crazy. My hand is ready for you, Open hand just for you.

I saw every show in 91' definite magic, you idiot! Slap slap slap, and splash.

what would bob weir know about the grateful dead?...all he did was wear short jean shorts and spit on the first few rows of heads... ya kimock smokes warren... not even a worthy debate..... warren is a buzzkill to be playing this tour... insted of doing 5 shows i have to settle for one because of outrageous prices and dont forget we are in economic recession... maybe we should raise prices to $600 an oz for kind bud?... im just scared of what parking prices will be... 2 cokes and a popcorn that will be $47.20 please.... 91 -94 was lame... anything after brent really went downhill... i would rank warren as same over rated grouping as bruce hornsby... they are ok doing their own schtick but please stay away from our fav band!

caveman dumb dumb. You need a slap slap.

Did you really just say what would Bob Weir know about The Grateful Dead? That is the dumbest thing I have heard in a while.

I was smart stopped going to see the (Grateful) Dead ,When Jerry Died.Back in the day ,you would have to wait in line all night, just to get tickets,or go thru a scalper,so for you kids that are crying about the prices,Nothing has changed.but now you get bobby and warren not jerry.That sucks ,In the day, bobby songs was a go time to go to the bathroom or get a beer.Makes me want to cry every time I see bobby ruin a great jerry song.see you at Phish!!!!!

Phish comments dont belong on a Dead board. I understand yall are really excited, but post in the appropriate area. Thanks. go ac/dc bag somewhere else please.

Why are ticket prices so high...LIVE NATION & TICKETMASTER in MERGER talks... http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE5130LN20090204

This should anger all of us... Live Nation has been trying to boost its thin concert- promoter margins by diversifying into adjacent businesses such as ticketing, which has margins as high as 25 percent versus an average 4 percent from concert promotion.

That's right 25% margins for TICKETBASTARDs!
