Subject: It's an awesome band Yeah i'd have to agree calling these guys a cover band sounds dismissive and snobbish, and I'd add that label does not do these dudes justice, even if it might technically be accurate.



Personally I differentiate between this "Cover Band" and other Grateful Dead cover bands because it has 3 original members.



These guys are amazing and I hope they continue touring for many years to come. I was fortunate enough to see them last year and they were awesome.

Subject: Excellent recording of a fine show. I'd have to agree that they have hit their stride and are sounding really good. Heard the show in Salt Lake and that was good, but... They're getting better with each show and this second night at Fenway is awesome. To the detractors, well I'm thankful for what we do have. Sure, call Dead & Co. a "cover band" but then that seems rather snobbish and dismissive. These guys are not the best at what they do, they're just the only ones that do it the way they do it, and they do it really well. Thanks for the clean recording. Most grateful for it. - June 20, 2017Excellent recording of a fine show.

Subject: it's a cover band they have a big advantage over all other dead cover bands, but the acoustic dark star is not making Grateful dead history. It's been covered before. I'm not dissing the performance or the fun, just the "history." - June 19, 2017it's a cover band

Subject: First Ever Acoustic Dark Star...? I've been wracking my brain but I can't for the life of me recall any version of the Dead playing an acoustic Dark Star, even from 70 / 71 when they did acoustic and electric sets. They weren't playing it during the 'Reckoning' run at RCMH & The Warfield.



So...history, I think.



It was certainly amazing from ~ 15 ft in front of the stage in the pit last night... :-D - June 19, 2017First Ever Acoustic Dark Star...?

Subject: Whelp, I think they are in the sweet spot I've been listening to all the shows this summer and I think that the boys have begun to hit their stride starting in Pennsylvania. These two Boston shows are outstanding. I am stoked sitting here listening to an acoustic Dark Star! Jeff's piano showcase coming out of the Dark Star reprise and into the Days Between was a real treat. Oteil sings FOTM!



I am tickled to death by what is going on. I am envisioning the Dead continuing, being passed down the generations with new players paying homage to the originals and adding their new twists. - June 19, 2017Whelp, I think they are in the sweet spot
