You lucky SOB.  Who's doing lead vocals with Garcia being long gone? As for MJ, that's probably the only way to see them right.  At the rolling stones (maybe a band with a little less drug use) concert I went to, people were puffing before the music even started and one guy even passed out before the show started.  Security dragged him out and he missed the show.  So don't do anything that would make you miss the music, but have some fun.  - a fellow deadhead

tip 1- dont call them the "grateful dead", the surviving members of the band are "The Dead"  they dropped the "grateful" in memory of garcia.

tip 2- Expect things/ people in the crowd  to get really weird, the fan base is made up of some really interesting people.

tip 3- dont expect them to play like they did in late 60's, 70's, 80's or early 90's (whatever your favorite era is)  all the members have aged quite a bit,  phil is almost 70 and the rest are getting up there too although you would never know because of the energy they play with still.

Ill be headed to the albany show on friday, im exited for things to get strange.

where is the show your going to, greensboro? and if you bring bud just put it in your shoes along with a small pipe, they won't search your shoes, or find a female friend with big tits that will put the shit in her bra, and to the person that asked warren haynes is now lead guitar and I'm not sure who is doing most of the vocals, i would guess lesh, weir, and haynes are all going to sing some
