if jerry were there it wouldnt be "furthur", it would be "the dead". the music while not the same is still fkn awesome and enjoyable. just some good old jam band music to make us forget of the modern shit like lady gaga and other talentless shit all the like. atleast they still play music for listening. yeah, who knew that after decades of playing they would be getting old, yet somehow still rockin.

If you want to get all the references, then you need to get yourself a book about an author by the name of Ken Kesey. He wrote a couple of books, one you may know called One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (not my favorite book of his). Anyway, the book about him was written by another favorite author of mine, Tom Wolf, and the book is called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. In that book you will learn what Furthur was, who the Merry Pranksters were and what influence they had on just about *everything* back then, from The Who's "Magic Bus" to The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour--what's the common thread? These songs are about busses, and Furthur was a bus back when the Grateful Dead were still The Wizards (or something like that, not a fan of their music).

The Kesey book I adore, and will read over and over again (as much as a woman like myself is wont to) is Sometimes A Great Notion.

While you wouldn't know it from looking at me today, I've got stacks and stacks of ticket stubs from a number of years on the road...

Honestly though, haven't listened to them in years.
:evilgrin0040:

Certainly wasn't interested in RatDog, but Further could be interesting, not sure I can deal with the scene anymore though. The Phish scene (pre-sellout of MSG days) 'cured' me of tolerating hippies much.

haven't listened to them in years. last time was still on cassette. had a ton of shows on cassette. have no idea what happened to them all - parents probably tossed them when i moved overseas! should try to pickup a couple albums.

never got into phish or any of the other bands. the scene just started to seem really fake or something
