I got two $85 tickets for 5/18, but it took about 20 minutes for that option to show up, and then a few attempts with nothing available, Years ago I would have gone immediately for "Best Available" but I have no interest in paying $600+ for a ticket, and I figured if I'm settling for nosebleed seats anyway then I might as well get them for $85 instead of $175. I have no illusions tha

QuoteBluzDude Never been a real big fan of his music. I did see him live once in 1982 at the 1st US Festival and he did put on a good show. I was there too. I wasn't a big fan either, but he did play a generous set.

Quote1cdog Love The WHO but Daltry's voice is shot. Musically Townsend can still play and sing, Zak Starky is great on drums and Pino is a more than capable bass player. I saw Roger Daltrey's Tommy and Who Classics tour a few months ago and he sounded better than he has in a long time. I think the surgery on his vocal cords really helped. He was very amiable and relaxed on stage, and at the

I think the two greatest hits albums mentioned before are a good introduction, but Workingman's Dead and American Beauty are pretty accessible and I think they represent the band well. They also contain the only two songs that got much airplay before Touch of Grey: Casey Jones and Truckin', so you get two stand-alone albums that each have a greatest hit.

QuoteTitle5Take1 My favorite Dead song is side two (to use "vinyl language" ) of TERRAPIN STATION. It's actually a combination of songs melded together, and it's beautiful and it's the equivalent of what A DAY IN THE LIFE is to the Beatles. I'm amazed it's not a better known "piece" considering the fame of the band itself. I'm actually not a huge Dead fan, don't like Bob Wier'
