There are some Dead shows that seem like they’d sound best around a campfire. Tonight in East Rutherford, the boys went another route. It was Space Out night at the Izod Center, with The Dead offering up some of their more distant tunes. That’s not to say we weren’t drawn right into the middle of [...]

The Dead rocked the Roseland Ballroom last night (3/30/09) in New York. Set 3 of their three-venue Taxi Tour of the city came with high expectations. It delivered. The boys sounded strong and came out firing with an setlist geared towards their most deadicated fans. “Althea” > “Cassidy” “Uncle John’s Band” “Eyes of the World” [...]

Update: I’ve learned a few things here and there about today’s shows. First off, it turns out that the Dead did originally apply for a permit to play Battery Park, but the city turned them down. That’s how that initial rumor got out there. Also, there was some confusion about them being on Letterman. I’d [...]

Update: Ok, so Battery Park was incorrect. The Dead are playing three shows on Monday. The first is an acoustic set at 5pm at Angel Orensanz. Next comes an 8pm electric full band set at the Gramercy Theatre. Finally, they’ll play an 11pm show over at the Roseland. If you haven’t put in a request [...]

I saw a good number of bands this weekend, two on purpose and about five others collaterally. Not all of them were good, but some of them impressed. First off, as I wrote earlier in the week, The Divorced came down from Boston Saturday to play the Annex. Definitely a good show and it was [...]
Dead Success – Miracle Edition

Too much of everything is just enough… One more thing I just got to say, I need a miracle every day. Wow. That was painful. I don’t know that it’s ever taken me 40 minutes to get concert tickets. Honestly, after about 20 I usually give up, assuming the show has sold out. This time, [...]
