    Man, that would be fun to go to. I probably saw them a dozen times in the 80s.

    I actually got to meet the Dead and party with them.

    Garcia was the worst smelling person I have ever met. Diabetes and heroin are not a good combination.

    I've seen them in concert 3 times.

    Easily the most over-rated band of all time, I can't even imagine how lame they would be without guitar wizard Jerry Garcia carrying them all night long.

    And this seems like adding insult to injury:
    The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (Guitar), Jeff Chimenti (Keyboards) and Bruce Hornsby (Piano).

    So great you can't even spell their name correctly? Still feeling the drugs from the shows you attended, FAMS?

    Dude I'm 32. Garcia died when I was barely 13. I've been a huge fan for a long time. "Touch of Grey". Bay Area, summer 2000-2001?... I saw a couple shows. The Others Ones. Think Bob Marley's son was there too. One thing: I do know how to spell the bands name.
