Are you a Nashville-bound credit-card-carrying Deadhead looking for a miracle? Well there are apparently thousands of tickets to Dead & Company's — i.e., Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzman, Mickey Hart, some other guys, not Phil Lesh, not Jerry Garcia and (gulp) John Mayer — Nov. 18 Bridgestone Arena stop currently available on Ticketmaster.
Above is a screen grab of the happening-really-fucking-soon show's TM ticket-purchase page captured this afternoon. All those blue dots you see — yeah, they represent unsold seats. I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and caution that this show may not sell out, at least not as completely as the Grateful Dead v2.-Anastasio's deep-dish cash-grab did back in July.Â
And so, all you hopeful 'heads (or Republicans who went to Woodstock or whatever), take that index finger out of the air and apply to your left-click like you just don't care. A little trigger-shy, are you? Then inform your decision to do or don't by A/B-ing a pair of clips (the first taken from Dead & Company's Oct. 29 kickoff show, the second taken from the second Fare Thee Well show) and asking yourself: Is John Mayer breath-rasping "Touch of Grey" more or less tolerable than Phil Lesh singing "Eyes of the World"?
