The Concert Thread

the latter. We stood in Gen Admin right behind the control boards. he came waltzing in with a 50? yr old woman with nearly as much plastic surgery as him. They let him inside the little fenced in area there. Liz eventually got the nerve up to pester him during a lul. He was nice enough. Said he liked my red beard.

Cool.

When I saw the announcement that the Grateful Dead were doing one last set of concerts in Soldier Field this summer, I got all nostalgic and thought about how cool it would be to be there. The end of an era! 50 years.


Then I thought about the logistics of getting there, and squeezing it into an overbooked summer. And I remembered how bad they sounded the last time they came through town. So I forgot about it.


Now I see that tickets went on sale over the weekend and sold out in just a couple minutes. Breaking some Ticketmaster record. And scalpers are selling for up to $15K per ticket.

Remember how this 4th of July show was it? The end?

Ha!
