YAWN...

thanks for this-
i spent 9 years seeing the dead from '85-'94 and wouldn't have gotten the idea to tour with the stones now if i hadn't seen so many dead shows. the dead knew how to mix up their setlists too - my deadhead friends can't understand why i'd want to follow the stones and it's just that the passion runs a little bit deeper. i almost just listened to just the taylor songs but when ended up blissfully listening to the whole thing (but still don't like paint my masterpiece or knocking on heaven's door).

Tat2you - ever been to dead show? not exactly a boring event and it didn't end when the show was over.

I saw the bulk of my Grateful Dead shows from 1982-91. I was at the Mick Taylor show, they did a 9 run stint in two weeks at MSG...those were the days.

And they never repeated a setlist once!

bob weir is one of the best rythmn guitarists out there. for thirty odd years with the grateful dead he added a richness to garcia and lesh's explorations...there was nothing like a grateful dead concert...i don't think that the dead knew how to mix up a set list...they just played what ever came their way, they had no order of songs that they went by...sometimes jack straw opened the 1st set and sometimes it was in the end...playing in the band would open the show at MSG and nine shows later would close it...never the same...i read somewhere that ronnie and bobby were hanging out together during the steel wheels tour when the stones hit san fransisco...that must've been a goood time...

interesting that the keyboards made it for you. most of the shows i saw were with brent mydland, who was excellent (and had a great voice) before his death in 1990 of an overdose. bruce opened for them in '87 and i thought he gave a muzak-type peformance (i was never crazy about his solo stuff). he added kind of a dreamy component when he joined the band (he was with them for a while) before vince welnick took his place.

Can any Irish or British fans translate Mick T's stone weight into pounds and kilos??

If MT weighs more than Keith and Ron combined, which is 2 stone, or 2 Stones must be 20 stone, that would mean MT weighs. . ..

AAh the old rainforest benefit at MSG. MT was a nice treat in that show at a time when Gerry was fading. I think the Dead were the greatest American rock n roll band in the world for a long time but he's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back.

Agree with you... the Dead were such an amazing band and all about the music and their fans. To me Jerry is what made everything come together and his solo career is as good as well.

That certainly is not a good show as far as Jerry's voice was concerned. He was shot. Imagine 8 shows at the Garden.
I've told this story here before but while I was on my way to see the Dead at the Garden my friends and I (from NYU) passed Keith Richards on Broadway and 10th St. He was with his wife and had his child on his shoulders. He acknowledged our Dead Gear and said, "Going to see Jerry boys?"
I nearly fell over. My first guitar hero says hello on the streets of NYC while I"m on my way to see the guy who made me pick up a guitar and never put it down.
Long live Jerry. His music will never die.
The Stones, btw, are not the Dead. Expecting the Stones to just play without a set list is not reality. War Horses must be performed every night or they will go to bed wondering if the guy in section 338 left the arena bummed b/c he didn't hear JJF...
