Yep, Meadowbrook Music Theatre... 7-18... in the Pit...

You'll get some tasty Philness down in there

I'd figure they'd announce it as a final tour to pump up ticket sales. Plus they've supposedly been working on new material. I'm hoping that stays a rumor, theyve really been heating up in the last year or so.

Dude they just announced a Bob Weir and Bob Dylan show for Sept. 9th at Hershey Park. Many a hog will know what it is to be choked that day I can tell you.

am i the only one that isn't excited at all by Furthur? I love the GD don't get me wrong, but Furthur shows just feel kind of sad and nostalgic...

hate away, i promise i'm not trolling.

I didn't get a Jerry, but I got a Phil.

"what do you want me to do, cut it off?"

^ this is all true.. i've only seen furthur two or three times, maybe i just haven't been there on one of their better nights..
Saw Dark Star Orchestra a couple times before John left (about 6 or 7 years ago), I thought they were way better than Furthur when I saw 'em..

Hitting Furthur Shoreline, Troutdale, but that is it until NYE. Furthur is on their game now. NYE 2011-12 was the best three day concert run I have ever seen. Joe Russo is a complete monster. Chimenti is great on keys and John K has truly been ripping it up. Way underrated as a guitarist.

There were moments on last tour where something was wrong with Bobby. Probably just old and drunk (supposedly he was dosed at the Greek LA show). But he sings really well still (when he isnt doing the speak-sing thing). And as long as they bury his guitar in the mix a little, Furthur is hard to beat.

I'll be at Bethel on the 15th

Saturday the 14th - Brooklyn MCU Park.

I sincerely hope this isn't their last year. I've not seen them yet, and I really need to.

Saw two shows last year. Had a blast. Will be at Bethel the 15th.

Furthur with fake Jerry sounds about as good and better in some ways as the GD. Just don't go into it expecting a carbon copy of the grateful dead cause it's not. Best not to have expectations at all really and just surrender to the flow when it comes to any live music.

What @lefty just said is true. Furthur isn't what I saw in the end of the 80s but it's as satisfying as many 94,95 shows. The main thing missing besides Jerry is the absurd energy level and intensity of the crowd. Phish "brings it" as people like to say lately, but the GD brought in crazy numbers, like back to back RFK sellouts. A summer tour with twice or three times the numbers . Gigantic venues. Basically two week runs at MSG. It's a scale thing and the energy ratcheted up accordingly.

Spot on point @Wasteoftime. Furthur can sell out BGCC and the energy is good, but that's only 5000-6000 people. Thurs night of the recent NYE run, there were only a few thousand people there (nice because it wasnt a madhouse, but bad because it wasnt a madhouse). The Grateful Dead were a full on all-cyclinders-firing fireworks f***ing party. Shakedown was nuts, people were going nuts, it was a freakshow, a love fest, a museum, a living/changing/growing cultural extravaganza. Big difference. Oh, and the whole Jerry thing. Agreed, energy at a huge huge scale.

But Furthur's music is damn good.

Furthur was pretty fun when I saw them last year. Some of the best times are had by those that never had a chance to see the real thing like myself. Alpharetta is a little too far to travel for Furthur not Phish

Apologize in advance for the all caps but the comments in this thread call for it:

PRE-SALE FOR FURTHUR'S WINTER TOUR IS JULY 14TH. THIS IS 100% NOT THEIR LAST TOUR

I didn't see anyone say anything about how ol' Bobby Weir (geez that feels weird saying OLD Bobby Weir) kinda raps some lyrics nowadays in Furthur. Big Bobby fan am I, but I can't stand that.

I also wish Phil/Bobby would let John sing most Jerry tunes. John's just simply awesome with that guitar and with the tender vocals. DSO veteran/fanatic here, and while I enjoy every Furthur show I go to, seeing DSO was, in general, a better musical experience almost every time.

Bobby and Phil don't mix well anymore
PL&F was good, PLQ was great and RD was great, dead and too was soso, furthur is meh, especially after jay ditched them

Ill be heading to Mccoy solo on thursday. If anybody wants to meet up let me know. Im also still looking for a ticket if anybodys got an extra.

Damn I'm embarassed, I have it in my calendar but I can't find it online. Weird.

McMenimins Edgefield on 09/27 - 09/29 will be legendary.
One of the sickest little venues. ever.

MPP Sunday, Can't wait! Saw them in Atlantic city last fall, they put on a fantastic show

I'll be at Pawtucket, RI!!!!

wish I'd seen the Q in april

i love the fact that they change up song structures and order. for example, hell in a bucket used as a set closer as opposed to the dead using it as a set opener. or doing i know you rider without any sign of china cat, fire on the mountain without scarlet and vice versa. i think it's awesome. you can't go in expecting to see the grateful dead, which is what i think most of the naysayers think it's all about
