Booche

DB 2.0's image contains far more hilarity.

"Is that Booche?" Jokes on you pal. I never met a Star Wars machine that I couldnt make my own high score on unless I already owned it. #shityoucanbragabout

I am sure he heard those songs and may have seen stickers and and shirts (think about how rare they are now compared to 20 years ago) but its obvious a light didnt go off until he heard Althea. He was probably focusing on his own music because I gather he is a pretty decent guitar player ;-) "I don’t know how much a T-shirt was or who made the best chili."

Ironically, tons of these fans will sing "Aint no time to hate" when given the opportunity. I look forward to hearing what this collaberation brings to the table. Mayer speaks about it here John Mayer and three members of the Grateful Dead will be playing New York’s Madison Square Garden under the name Dead & Company on Oct. 31. Turns out, Mayer only recently become a fan of the group. Mayer tells Billboard that it all started in 2011 when he heard “Althea” on a Pandora station and was immediately struck. From there, he started listening to the Dead on satellite radio. “I feel like my generation also has SiriusXM to thank,” he said. “The Grateful Dead station on Sirius is its own experience, especially if you drive. If you live in Los Angeles, it’s such a brilliant way to score the commute.” Because he was only 17 when the band broke up following Jerry Garcia‘s 1995 death, Mayer acknowledged that his Dead experience is different from the traditional fan, because he only knows them on a musical level. “I represent this generation of listener who didn’t go to those shows,” he explained. “There was no sensory bonus for the music. I don’t know how much a T-shirt was or who made the best chili. I don’t have any of that fan show-going experience, so I really discovered the music on a totally pure level. … I didn’t come it from the experience of ‘a friend brought me to a Dead concert in 1987 and I had the time of my life.’ I came at it, like, this music transports me to a place in my own imagination.” Rumors that Mayer was going to embark on a project with the Grateful Dead first surfaced in April, when he was spotted “in a rehearsal-like setting with select members of the group.” Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will join Mayer and Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge for the Halloween concert. To prepare, Mayer said that he’s been practicing “four to five hours a day. It’s been 15 years since the last time I sat in the room and just tried to get better at playing. It’s what I’ve called Grateful Dead University. It’s like a study abroad — a totally immersive course and a real self-driven scholarship.”

In.

Totally awesome. Advance tickets for this one?

as well as this awesomeshit

Case in point

As far as my ears are concerned, Phish has been on a great build since fall of 2013. Mind you, I dont listen to every show or even half of them but there's some really interesting shit going down with this band right now. Trey sounds fucking incredible this summer. I think locking himself in a practice room in NYC to learn Dead songs while using the guitars he plays on the road, versus using just practice guitars (his words in a Rolling Stone interview I believe, no idea which guitars he was talking about) has put this guy back together again. By the way, if you are someone who likes audience pulls (BradM - I am looking at you) check out the most recent Phish shows grabbed by Chris King. I think they sound fantastic and both shows are great. http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=581270 http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=581292 I'm really looking forward to watching these videos C-towns has linked. I havent seen anything. THANKS!
