Lots of deadhead-lookin' folks here, so your concert will no doubt feel like the real deal :-)
Best of luck. Sounds like a fun event.

Way old school 60's Deadhead here. What's the name of your band?
Where do you play when you are not on BI?
Furthur, Dan

What songs are your favorites? What do you cover? Do you encore with Brokedown Palace?
I love the early albums the most, through American Beauty. I also like the traditional songs they arranged, like I've Been All Around This World, Jack-A-Roe, Peggy-O. I found some beautiful versions of them on Youtube, all featuring gorgeous Jerry solos.

The Dead did a lot of great covers themselves, for example "The Weight."

I'll never forget hearing that Jerry had died. I heard it on Italian TV. I was in a hotel room with a balcony over Lago di Maggiore, the moon was full, and I felt so sad.

I was in Palo Alto 1967 too. My kid sister was best friends with Ron's (Pigpen) little sister.
My first GD concert was attended by about 300 at fillmore.
