There are some HORRIBLE comments being left on iclips message board for this show.

All is not peaceful in hippie-land with the Dead choosing Obama. :-/

It really is ridiculous what some people will say behind a computer in the safety of their own house.

I was surprised myself that they are “picking” Obama as opposed to just it being a “get out the vote concert”, but whatever.
Who really cares!?
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh don’t speak for me or anything.
Come on people, this isn’t the Moral Majority or Christian Coalition for crying out loud.
It’s a rock and roll band.
The Dead are playing!
Enjoy it for what it is people.

Racist, misogynistic, and anarchist as well. :frowning:
