This week, I hit the road and made the scenic trip up out of one desert valley and into another. I spent the night in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock, where I attended the Furthur show, which included Grateful Dead pioneers Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. Having seen more than 100 Grateful Dead shows, I can say this was a unique experience. The venue, the Joint at Hard Rock, was a phenomenal place to see a show, not a bad spot to stand, and the sound was spot on perfect. The show was simulcasted live on XM/Sirius that night and the feedback from fans was positive.
If anyone gets a chance to catch this version of what once was, don’t pass it up. Although the elder statesmen of the band are in their 60’s and 70’s respectively, they still put on a quality show for all to enjoy. Check http://www.furthur.net/ for a show coming to your venue this fall.
