Why would anybody want to see them with another singer? That's like Journey without Steve Perry.

The Dead died when Jerry left us.

I'm going to the first show. I'll be in NC then and am a big Dead fan, and a fan of bob weir.

Bob Weir is one of the original singers, it wasnt just Jerry who sung.

When Zeppelin tours again - with Bonham Jr. on drums - then it'll be news worthy.

I'm definitely going to check out at least one of the shows in Worcester. The last time I saw them was the summer Jerry died with Bob Dylan in Vermont. Should be a good tour.

I was also at that show, which is the way I want to remember them. I remember the bumper sticker I got saying, "I joined the herd and rocked with the Dead at Highgate '96" Perhaps if it were during the summer and was at a place like that, I might consider it, but not at the DCU Center in Worcester. It takes away the whole experience, which probably died then as well.
