I don't think Furthur would even come close to selling enough tickets to make the Gorge worth it. (To them anyway).


or State Bridge up along the Colorado River. +/-700 capacity. DSO, RR Earth, Stringdusters played there the past couple of years. Very cool place.

Or the Ford Amphitheater in Vail. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you all laughing. 2500 capacity. Mule played there last summer. Dylan has played there. Beautiful venue.

When do tickets go on sale? The Mish would be great. How 'bout the Lefthand Brewery parking lot?


Dude that DSO show at Lefthand was a blast, I'd love for them to do that again. They just need to add about a dozen more porta potties

One more vote for Deer Creek. Would also like to see them come back to the Murat in Indy, the Fox in St. Louis. But I am mostly hoping for any midwest shows.

Saw them in St. Augustine, FL in summer of 2011 and that was a nice venue except for it being about 115 degrees.

I'd be down for that, but if they're not going to leave the continental U.S., I'm pushing for Florida shows for Spring. The venue in Miami is on the bay...South Beach about 5 miles away. St. Augustine is walking distance from the beach. There are venues up and down the East Coast of Florida.

And, Mid-Westerners I agree you need some love, but after the below zero temps.

And the Wolf Trap in Vienna Va.

Wolf Trap is a beautiful place. Problem is it's in a national park, so the law might not be cool with us, it being federal property and all. I always wondered why the Dead never played there, and guess that's the reason.

Well, now that you mention it...a 9000 seat temporary amphitheater will be installed at Pier 29 in San Francisco for the America's cup. Awesome siting on the Bay. The first announced act is Sting June 2nd. I am already reading comments calling for 'local' talent to be showcased there. I couldn't help thinking what a sweet spot for a Furthur show or two or three...

I agree with Berkeley Greek and Ventura Fairgrounds too.



I say yes to the temporary amphitheater on the bay. 9,000 capacity would accomodate.

The Greek would have to be my number one choice. Not to boast, but if you ever saw a Dead show there you'd know what I
was talking about. Imagine being on the top of the lawn, at sunset, with a view of the bay and GG bridge, and the scent of eucalyptus in the air. Just as you start peaking they open 2nd set with Morning Dew. Good times, to put it mildly.
