A friend and I were going to try for the MSG tix, and I got through for two seats. I’m waiting to hear from my friend to see if he got any. If I find out he did, I’ll be selling mine (or he’ll be selling his) and let you guys know.
Did you ever think that maybe I didn’t mean that literally? Nah…I meant it literally, but it was a joke.
The fact that some of you live within a few hours from these shows and aren’t buying tickets to see the goddamn Dead is very disheartening to me. The closest show to me is about an 18 hour drive and I’m still considering it. I paid more than any of those ticket prices to see Prince back in 2004 and I don’t remember the money at all, but I do remember seeing one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Not so disheartening if you’ve had the chance to see them before…plus, I’ve got too much money tied up in potential Phish shows to sweat the Dead tix. I want 'em, but I guess I just don’t want them bad enough.
I feel the same way. Even though I’ve only technically seen the Dead once, and it was in knee-deep mud at Bonnaroo, I’m cool with that. I’ve also seen Phil and Ratdog enough times to be satisfied.
Phish means infinitely more to me than any post-Jerry Dead project. Priorites. Plain and simple.
