I'd be curious to hear how it goes, any tips or suggestions, etc., as I'll be there in two weeks. 

The 200 sections seems like the best seats, alot of the 100s are obstructed view, like mine lol. If you're prone to motion sickness, bring a relief band or some Dramamine or something. That screen is fuckin WILD. 

Don't miss the Dead Ahead experience at the Venetian, lotta cool stuff and merch for the Vegas residency. And Shakedown Street at the Tuscany is great, lotta good stuff there! Got a tie dye onesie with a dancing bear for my newborn, and there's some great custom art t-shirts for "Shakedown Strip"

31 years ago today my life would change forever. It was my first show. 6/13/93 from Buffalo. I already loved their music, but I finally got to experience them live. Yes, they weren’t the same as they had been but Jerry was still somewhat healthy and playing well. It changed my life forever.

Pro tip for the Sphere: prioritize central seating, and where you will have no overhang. 

I sat in both the center side of 308 and the peripheral side of 309, and there's a distinct difference. I would recommend choosing seats between _04 and _08.

It's been a crazy week.  I was traveling for work but my son got really sick.  He had to be admitted to the hospital for a really bad throat infection.  They thought he might have an abscess that required surgical draining.  After putting a camera down his esophagus two days in a row, they ere unable to find anything and he responded well to antibiotics.  He is  home resting now and I can finally relax a little. I'm going to have a couple cocktails and listen to some Grateful Dead to take the edge off a little.

and of course this show has a wonderful Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance...which I've been on at least a 6 month kick on.  Goddamn, early 80's Dead was really solid!!

My all time favorite show.  Brent and Jerry are absolutely on fire the entire show.  Bertha, Cold Rain, and Snow, Masterpiece, Deal, Women are Smarter and the Watchtower>Morning Dew>Not Fade Away finish is epic!! The show also has a terrific Ship of Fools, Terrapin, and Stagger Lee!

I don't say things like this often, but Billy fucking murdered the Row Jimmy.  This has not been one of his better shows.  There have been a few times this show already that I've thought "wtf".

I'm all about drinking, smoking, and listening to the Grateful Dead tonight!  I may have to hit the road over the next few weeks so I can't relax as much as when I'm home.  So I'm checking out this fine show tonight.

This has been a fantastic show. It's the perfect blend of crowd and music.  It's been a really fun night! The build up to Wharf Rat? Maybe the best Around and Around?? What a great show!!

This has been a fantastic show!  The crowd recording is fine, but I would love to hear a soundboard recording of this.  This second set is just about perfect for a Friday night!!

Both of the show I posted had a very very solid Black Peter.  The 8/24/80 one is better though as is the entire show.  I love hearing the Hammond B3 during this song! It's perfect.

I'm still just heartbroken about Ygifs.  I listened to He's Gone all night last night and just sat and drank in the rain.  He wouldn't want that, but I couldn't help it.  He would want me to queue up some Good Ol' Grateful Dead and enjoy my Monday night.
