2. sad how far Bob Weir has fallen

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Actually, the last few times I saw Ratdog, they fucking smoked.

Very tight, very solid. Bob's doing all right.

19. I love Ratdog!

Seen them a dozen times...

3. That should tell the Hillary people something- if Phil & Bob will get on stage together

to keep her off the ticket.

:hippie:

8. have they ever done this before?

for Kerry?

[Warren DeMontague]

10. I don't know, but I remember hearing that, after the last "Dead" outing, they'd had it w/each other.

I think it was McNally or someone who said he doubted they'd ever get on a stage and play together again.
