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.

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyAu4dbW4BE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ePcC0mLnY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX9Vhv4akxc&feature=related The Dead did a lot of great covers themselves, for example "The Weight." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNvlLRRodYs&feature=related 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.
