From: Lack of interest in Dead and Co

I don't know why, but I dont have any interest in seeing this Dead and Co tour. Maybe its because it seems more like an eagles reunion tour than the vibe I find at a Phish show these days. I went to the MSG run in the fall and there just seemed to be a lot of old grumpy guys sitting down, which kind of killed the vibe a little.

I really enjoyed when the Dead guys were touring with Furthur. It seemed to be a little more under the radar that this current John Mayer incarnation (They also played smaller venues). With that being said ill still probably end up going in Hartford.

i sort of feel the same way, with the lack of interest, but doesnt really have anything to do with crowd/vibe.

Maybe it was that GD50 was so hyped last year as the end of the Dead, but now it's still going. So maybe the product didnt meet the hype. But prior, eg; Further, there wasnt the hype, and therefore it was more pleasing with less expectations? Prob doesnt make a ton of sense with the music product and quality should be more of the driver in interest, but i think there is some truth to this psychology, for me at least.
