Deadheadland the world over is buzzin’ – good, bad, and many thoughts between. One thing is certain, Deadheads still miss Jerry. Two things are certain – Deadheads do not all agree!
Got into a little thing over on good old old rec.music.gdead one of the original online Dead related discussions, going back to the pre-Welnickonian period – and I espoused my simple happycat! gratitude attitude. and was told that “punks like” me are the ones that “made” someone else stop going to shows…
Sorry to enjoy “your” band man, guess people like me ruined the scene back in the 80’s.
And thanks for knowing enough about me to know I am a hippie with an inner punker!
Anyway, needless to re-iterate, I love The Dead, Grateful Dead, Phil and Friends, Planet Drum, Mystery Box, you name it – even Ratdog!!!! LOVE THEM!!! (most nights, not all…I am not on rose-colored-doses – but I do see the stage as more than half full!)
OK – haters? give it up… you got an empty cup… Billy Bobby, Mickey Phil…
OK, so where to get the show:

Ain’t no time to hate!
ADDENDUM 4/14/09 – Here is a great source for a BitTorrent of the show: 4/12/2009 Dead Greensboro, NC Torrent
SORRY! Seems the BT torrent link is not working, they took the torrent down? Hmmm….. strange nothing else is up…. I will keep you posted. If anyone else knows more, please share!
Torrent worked for me. Groovin’ to it right now.
Like you, I don’t get the haters. I really don’t. I am not about to say that everything the boys have done is pure gold, but The Dead is not an empty shell you hold up to your ear to hear the sounds of faded glory. I think they boys are still making great music. They are happy, healthy and obviously ready to make me smile again. I think Jerry would think the haters are more funny than anything else. He never claimed the Grateful Dead was his band anyway. He knew it was bigger than him.
