[bennyboy]

What about a Robert Hunter show?

Depends an if he opened for the dead (six) or solo (70,s...8 points) after 1979 (8).

[Bx. Bruce]

Got me an 8 on that one, and a 6 for when he played between Dead sets, or should that be a 6.5?

I will have to send your query to our esteemed (or is it steamed?) panel of stoners, slackers and ne'er do wells for a ruling.

Do Deadheads buy raffle tickets? Because they're about to go offsale. Just sayin'.

Well, the Dead are a favorite of Threadheads and Threadheads buy raffle tickets....so I'm guessing yes.

Real Deadheads get theirs for face or below.

On the other hand, Brother Luke is probably trying to flog his raffle tix for twice face, as we speak...

getting everyone ready for nola and all (and really hoping there's a Benny story involving mushrooms and being picked up on the side of the road).

[bennyboy]

All shows to be Pay per View as well as in the theaters. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-view-20150422 and that makes me very happy.

And this makes me even happier:

"The pay-per-view event will be hosted by CNBC reporter Steve Liesman and feature special guest host Bill Walton, a Basketball Hall of Famer and perhaps the group's most famous Deadhead."

For my money, one of the greatest sources of unintentional comedy on the planet.

taking the role perfected by Ken Kesey......Gotta wonder if he is going to use a bunch of basketball references when he does the FTW shows?
