    Oh come on! Fare thee well my ass!

    Having said that, I hope they come to my town 🙂

    I’m definitely going to be crying about this in 3 hours.

      • maggiemay

        Off to get my wisdom teeth out… Wish me luck! (Excited to be knocked out tbh — wonder what I’ll say once I wake up!)

      • spencer

        Good luck Maggie!

      • August West

        The doc and the assistant will be laughing when you wake up. This is reliable information. haha

      • maggiemay

        Oh, they laughed all right. I can already feel the effects wearing off and I can confirm that I cried a lot and said thank you to the woman 10,000 times. Now I can’t wait to chow down on some pudding, cup noodles, and smoothies!

        I’m pretty sure my sister asked me something about John Mayer and then I started crying about Jeff Chimenti going to jail and I bad a huge breakdown over that! I was so sad! (That was literally only 10 minutes ago. Now I can sit up right and see.)

        My mouth tastes bloody.

    Only thing final about Fare Thee Well was that it was Phil’s last time playing with Billy, I think. Rumors say this tour will run Halloween (and maybe a little before) to end of November, with more dates to come next year if sales are good. Northeast, Southeast, CO, and Bay Area. We shall see.

      You know it’s too bad Fillmore South isn’t a real venue, otherwise it might actually work for the routing.

    • Mark Pflaging

      What’s the deal between Billy and Phil? For some reason it bothers me and Google isn’t helping.

      • spencer

        Comparing phil songsto the cheesiness of the Love Boat theme probably didn’t help

      • August West

        spencer,
        From that article, sounds like Billy took a big steaming dump on everyone. hahaha
        For the record, Unbroken Chain and Box Of Rain are amoung my fav dead songs. Maybe Billy is referring to the Phils 90s songs (Wave to the Wind etc ), which I don’t disagree with.

      • spencer

        I agree with you 100%

    Must see TV tonite – The Weir – Dan Rather Interview on AXS.
    Check out this Bobbyism from the preview as he thinks out loud in front of Rather….

    “Could I have done more for my music, or our music ?????

    (Pause)

    Uhmmm…………………………………………….

    I probably could of got up earlier or something.”

    If someone like Grateful Dean is breaking news like this, I suspect Shapiro is whispering in his ear.
    I definitely see a Benji role in his future.

  7. tor_haxson

    All Grateful Dean says nowadays is “I know something that you do not and I can not tell you” he is like our mean older brother.

    No the Jew on this tour seems capable of making Shapiro look like a saint.
    And perhaps Phil is not the greedy one after all.

    Check out the “Official Platinum Seats on Ticketmaster”
    The presale code is
    8006391202

    You will get no seats available, but….. wait… look at this here we do have a few for $650 to $750

    So they trickle out these “dynamically priced” seats, to see who bites.

    At average price of 100 they take in 2 mill. At average price of $200 they take 4 mill per night.

    They get to say, tickets sold at 50 to 100… but in reality they were sold at $500.

    Scalpers are actually cheaper than some of these “official platinum seats”

    I’m alive

    When I got home I cried about Jeff Chimenti and my siblings were so confused lol

  9. Boogaloo

    Ever seen the interview where Weir claims he was good friends with Jimi Hendrix.
    Anyone know WTF is he talking about?

    • Robin Russell

      It appears to be a reputable journal, peer reviewed and almost certainly not receiving any funding from the DEA. Well, probably not. OK, possibly not.

      Weir did jam with Hendrix in the Guild tent at Monterey in June 1967.

      • Boogaloo

        Booby was good friends w Jimi, Phil tuned up Miles Davis’ Cadillac, Jerry & Elvis went abalone diving together, and Keith once jammed w Ray Charles on the White House roof.

  10. maggiemay

    WOW!!! I never imagined this would be so painful!

    But it’s okay, because ToTD, you’ve been keeping me company while I’ve been scrolling through ur archives chillin in bed for the past 45 mins
