So if you're into Pop/Rock/Hip-Hop or any of the crap mainstream "music" out there today, this isn't for you, but you should read on in hopes of discovering an awesome phenomenon known as Good Music.

Furthermore Furthur Tour Dates

So Furthur has extended their tour quite extensively, I am soooo excited. At first, they had scheduled shows in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and San Francisco totaling about 6 shows. They've since added on about 10 or more shows. So i've decided I'm gonna hit the Manchester, New Hampshire show.

Everybody's loving the tour so far, i've heard nothing but good things. I downloaded a recent show and it was very good. Had a more jerry-like authentic feel to it. The guitarist in place of Jerry sounds like 1980's Jerry. He has the moan-like quality to his voice that has characteristics of Jerry, and I can imagine being there all tripped out and telling myself that I'm actually listening to Jerry play. That would be great.

Furthur has much more characteristics of earlier Grateful Dead. They're jamming is great! Of course, Bobby and Phil's playing styles have changed over the years, but it happens. People find new things to play. Plus the sound at these shows has been great, awesome engineers. It doesn't have the southern rock feel like The Dead with Warren Haynes sounded, although sometimes I really like Warren cuz i think he sounds a lot like early 80's Brent Mydland.

Anyway, you should all check out the scene if you're into the Dead and wanna have your mind blown. just don't stay too long! the scene is fun and all, but it has it's evils. Sadly, I recognize them every time I'm in it and it sort of depresses me. Oh well I guess...
