yeah, Sphere would be fun for sure.

It seems the Dead and Slow visuals lean heavier on the nostalgia - Haight/Ashbury, ticket stubs, dancing bears, Uncle Sam skeleton.

Phish seemed like more interesting visuals that were more creatively/applicably applied to each song.

I feel kinda weird saying it, but for my money at this point, I'd rather see the latter.

Are they the only two so far to play the Sphere?

Didn't U2 open it? What were those visuals like?

I assume it was mostly a bunch of screenshots of emails to Apple asking how to remove U2 from their iTunes.

was gonna put this in the good vibes thread, cuz holy shit.

I had a rough one at work today, and get in the car to go home.

On the local radio station is this crunchy blues jam with overdriven bass and glassy clean rhythm guitar and fuzzed out lead guitar that's just absolutely howling...

OMG is this the Dead?!

Like late 60's/early 70s Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, if I'm right. And boy do I love being right.

Pigpen came in with the vocals to confirm it.

I got home but sat in the car til it was over cuz the vibes was sooo good. And cuz it was the Dead, of course it was like 28 minutes long, but fuck it, I'm vibing.

I even called the station to ask, what date! But they didn't pick up.

So let's just go with this one...I don't think it was the exact one, cuz this one has harmonica too, but let's call it close enough:

Pig was gone before I got on the bus.
The CD set Ladies and Gentleman has some really great Pigpen cuts on it.

MSG isn't kidding:

MSG defends using facial recognition to kick lawyer out of Rockettes show

When Kelly Conlon joined her daughter’s Girl Scout troop for a fun outing to see the Rockettes perform their Christmas Spectacular show at Radio City Music Hall in New York, she had no idea she would end up booted from the show once she entered the building.

Security stopped Conlon, NBC New York reported, because she is a New Jersey lawyer. It seems that Madison Square Garden Entertainment has begun using facial recognition technology to identify any visitor to any of its venues—including Radio City Music Hall—who is involved with any law firm that is actively involved in litigation against MSG Entertainment.

Conlon has never practiced law in New York nor personally been involved in litigation against MSG Entertainment. Instead, she is guilty by association, as an associate for Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which has spent years tangled up in litigation against a restaurant that NBC reported is “now under the umbrella of MSG Entertainment.”

According to Conlon, she became aware of this supposed conflict of interest when security guards approached her in the Radio City Music Hall lobby just as she passed through the metal detector. Over the speakers, Conlon heard a warning about a woman in a gray scarf, then security confirmed the warning was about her, telling her, “Our recognition picked you up.”

D&C did a private show for HP employees at The Sphere either last night or two nights ago.
If I could raise the money and pay them a million to play in a small venue in Chicago in August right after their residency do you think they would do it?

We all know what we are, the only question is price.
