I to have seen the Dead at the Warfield a couple few times and $95 a ticket is damn good if you ask me.
Look what theses bands are getting these days.
Bore you with a story,was in line to buy GD New Years Eve the closing of Winterland.
It was announced will be 30 bucks per ticket.
OMG we didn't have $60 WTF
My girlfriend at the time drove home got more money from her mom.
The Dead didn't hit the stage till midnight and played till 5 a.m. I needed toothpicks for my eyes.........LOL
Great story. Mine was in Atlanta 90. We drove up from T-town and stayed with a friends-friend somewhere outside donwtown. We started partying around 3pm and then took the subway into town. Saw a fantastic show but the people we came with and my seats were not with the group. We were all to meet after the show in front of Section 8. Show ended and --no friends. We stumbled around the arena for over an hour until there was no one left and we were kicked out by the police. This was before cell phones and we had no money AND we had no clue where we were staying and how to get there. After much discussion I told my buddy "lets get on the subway I know where we were (but honestly had no clue). We walked to the entrance to the subway and out of the corner of our eye we saw a group of people dancing in front of a guy playing bongos. We walked over and those people were the ones we came with (and there was not a person around the arena)!!! We came up and said what the hell we were supposed to meet at section 8. They said "we were?" I think they actually forgot they came with us..:lol:
To this day my buddy and I always mention Section 8 and just grin..We were petrified out of our minds but neither of us would admit it..
Saw the Dead 5 times and it was absolutely awesome each time. :toast:
Shakedown Street" is also the name given to the vendors tent set up area at an outdoor music festival. Vendors tents are most commonly the "E-Z up" style tent sold at wholesale stores. They are usually lined up in a long row at the music festivals, resembling a street.
True the best was hanging out in the parking lot "Shakedown Street" selling Cold beers and nitrous balloons man I miss those times!!! Made a killing in the lot back in the day...:toast:
The final show of the tour, on a gloriously beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. It’s with a sense of relief but also dread that the tour ends, everyone exhausted but satisfied with the music, and a fun quotient that is as high as it’s ever been for these guys, and for the 15,000 (or more) people who came out every night. This show was a late addition to the tour, and it was a very welcome addition, especially those dwellers north of the Bay Area. A sold out concert, with two opening acts (including the omnipresent Warren Haynes) bodes well for a good party to end the tour. Opening with The Music Never Stopped is such an appropriate way to start things out, and with a Sirius XM audience listening along, this show will be reaching 23,000 at The Gorge, and countless others across the satellite airwaves. Loose Lucy and Crazy Fingers take us on a short trip through the mid-1970s era Dead, and then comes the surprising mid-first set Dark Star, always great to hear, especially Phil playing in and out of the guitar parts. Nice. Dire Wolf follows, a surprising choice out of Dark Star, but I suppose little is surprising on this tour. Tom Thumb’s Blues (a tour first? Zomby?) comes next, always great to hear Phil sing a Phil song from back in the day. Goin’ back to San Anselmo, I do believe they’ve had enough… Into the Mystic and Women Are Smarter (another tour first?) end things nicely, with a gorgeous sunset setting the stage for the tour’s final set.
Set 2 The second set opens with two great Weir rockers (ok, one was written by Phil), Passenger and Hell in a Bucket, of which have been ripping on this tour. I love Jerry’s slide playing on Passenger, in which he plays with some really raunchy tones (Phil’s intention in writing the song), but Warren has been doing a nice job with it. Donna, and later Brent, always sang such great high harmony background vocals on this, and Warren’s voice suits this just fine. Following two Weir tunes come two Garcia-Hunter tunes, Althea and Eyes of the World. Certainly no complaints here with those two songs back-to-back. Mickey and Bill’s final trip through the cosmos of the tour (they were GOOD this tour; check them out closely if you bought the CDs or the downloads) during Rhythm Devils ventures, of course, into Space, followed by Days Between. The Dark Star reprise from the first set is somewhat expected with this band, and is greeted very happily by the masses. One More Saturday Night, of course, ends things off with Bobby rocking the house (or the desert/Columbia River Gorge) one last time on the tour. An encore of Box of Rain is a fitting way to send people home after what is up there with the 1998 Other Ones tour as the finest tour these guys have done since 1995.

I've got a section 8 story.
Day started out in Santa Cruz with cooler full of beer of course.
Went up highway 1 to San Francisco crossed the Bay Bridge to Berkley.
Parked our car in a parking garage and followed the crowd to the Berkley Community Center for a night with SANTANA.
After the show we walk around Berkley for hours where the hell is this damn parking garage.
A pay phone was ringing and I picked it up was a chick wrong number but she directed us to the car.
How lucky was that,and good thing I didn't fall asleep on the way home because my buddy did,his head went back and his foot went forward.
I shook the shit out of him and he woke up,was a long day.

O.K. one more Greatful Dead story I've told before on this forum and my kids know this story my one told her teacher this story when I guess her teacher was a fan.........Any way
They played every year Oakland Arena the week between Xmas and New Years.
I went to a show and a couple days later a friend calls me and said he won tickets if I want to go?
Keep in mind we just had our first and was months old.
Turn to my wife and tell her Ron won tickets can I go?
She says you just went Sunday in a snotty tone of course.
Then she says fucking shit go then.
I tell my buddy I can't go.
Five six months later the big guy dies and I remind my wife that was my last chance..........thanks a lot honey............LOL
