RATDOG is as good as or better than The Grateful Dead

especially with '94/'95 as a point of reference, we saw the show in Philly and it was AS GOOD as The Dead. Saxophones, standing on a tower, come together, AWESOME!

 

Damn, you got it, man. I saw them last year and they blow me away.

They played the mann last night, right? That's an amazing venue, too bad I missed it.

 

anyone passing through the scranton area to go to the NYC show tomorrow? i need a ride. i got gas money. i have class til 12*15 though...we can make it there before bruce gets on stage. let me know if anyone can help.

lovin you family

 

They were pretty amazing...I saw em this last April..and I was blown away

 

I should have seen them this year when they came through Norfolk in Spring, but I managed to forget the date (which is why I like getting my tickets M.O.) while planning other concerts for this year. I heard they kicked ass... I've never gotten the chance to see Ratdog. I do wish that Phil and Bobby could work something out and get the dead going with Jimmy or Warren's help, maybe.

 

Im seeing Ratdog with Bruce Hornsby on Friday!!! Im so excited, by the end of a good Ratdog show I have to tell myself this isnt the grateful dead. Weir is still rockin!

 

Yeah, I hear a lot of people saying Bobby seemed to get old overnight, but he's still as good or as better than he ever was. I figure it's just the beard.

I do enjoy the story about his Telecaster.

 

I wasnt that impressed.....

phil lesh's band is so much better

 

lets not have the bobby phil fight...PLEASE!!!! hahahahaha
my best friend loves phil and she lived with 2 bobby fans. all i ever heard out of her mouth was "phils better" it was always funny. i miss living with her.


i did the last 3 weeks of tour in april. if i wasn't in school i'd be doing it now!!!

 

phil and bobby are both amazing musicians. i dont really think ither was better then the other.

 

totally...enjoy.

 

i was ratdog last year and they were quite superb. I would really compare them to the gd, but its still awesome to see bobby perform.

 

It's awesome to see how cohesive Ratdog has become over the years...if you just think of them as a Bobby side project or a cover band then you'll be missing out on alot. Bobby and co. are keeping the Dead spirit alive!

 

Yeah, they are awesome now. I saw them the night before Jerry died 8-8-95 in Central Park, they have come a long way!

First show billed as RatDog
(Opened for The Band)

 

i love Ratdog and Phil and Friends, but they don't compare to the Grateful Dead....both shows kick ass and are shit loads of fun, but the Grateful Dead, even todays Dead has somthing undefinable about it.....i want Bobby and Phil to kiss and make up, enough is enough, they need to get back together....i was watching those to jam the other night, on the GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE, and they are magic together......



PS
