I’m going to my home base show in Atlanta, and either the 3-show run at Folsom Field or the 2-show run at the Gorge.  I really, really wished the 3 show run in Boulder was at Red Rocks.

Might try for Chicago.

JimmyV

May try for Fenway but probably not until right before the show.

Might be a good time to see my first show

Will defo catch at least one show. Currently leaning towards Chicago, NY or San Francisco. The Boulder and Gorge shows would be pretty special as well.

Doubt I'll be stateside this summer but would love to do both SPAC shows. (Do they still call it that?)

Yes

PJ1973

Will do both of the NC shows and then will try for SF. Have always wanted to see the Dead (or a variant) in California.

This is it for Bobby now, yes?

Fortunately, no....he said he/they'd keep playing in one form or another til he drops. No 100% certain but I think the breakup of DeadCo is due to wear and tear on Mayer. Hopefully, we'll eventually see another Bobby-led incarnation of the Grateful Dead.

The Dead are still a band?  OK, I'm being lazy and could look it up, but tell me about this?  How is that possible?

He just did something for Thirdman with this incarnation.

I believe Bobby is the last original touring member besides Hart?  Phil stopped after GD50 I believe and does his own stuff like Philloween here in Brooklyn.  

Hence the &Company.  John Mayer has been touring with them the last couple of years.

Don’t forget about my boy Billy Kreutzmann on drums with Mickey.

Bobby as in Bob Weir?

OK, so I got off my but and looked them up.   Well, at least they don't refer to themselves as "The Grateful Dead".  That would be rather strange.

lol, They stopped touring as Grateful Dead after Jerry died.  They have come together in a different array and forms like The Other Ones, Further, The Dead, Dead & Company.  I think I got all of them?

I'm going off of memory but I am sure there are more that are better versed than I am.

+1. The Parts 1 & 2 live albums from Red Rocks are fantastic. Pt2 just dropped this past Friday. The 20 minute Terrapin Station Suite jam on it is reeeeallly good.

Last week in an interview w/ Andy Cohen Bob was asked to name his all-time favorite venue. He said the venue they played in '78 in Egypt, the Giza pyramid....and beyond that his next favorite is the Ryman Auditorium. It always makes me smile to hear the Mother Church getting some love. There's no telling how many venues Bob has played thru the years, and to hear him name check the Ryman in that context is another reminder of what a special place it is.

The Living Dead, perhaps?
