My ticket is for Oct 27, that would a good time for Dickey to sit in. I don't expect it but I'd like to see it.

Just saying not only will that never happen .If last night (WED) was any indication there will be no guests at all.All those who think that this run will mean as much if not more to the band ,will be like the reports from the other night disappointed ., For a final week of shows you would think they would have been one of the best we ever seen,it wasn't. We had a great time (,thanks to all who came over and said hello ,glad we can help you guys with tickets) but the band mailed it in .There were a few high lights but for a final show the set list was average,and so ws the band. . If not for the Beacon being the best fans and best place by far to see them,this really would of been a disappointment .The band should of been on fire and made sure that this was a great performance . Great Mountain Jam but 1 song encore with the watered down version of one way out .and the band just walking off as usual ,was by many on the floor ,not what was expected for one of the final shows . Thanks for many great shows since 74 when I first seen them ,but rating last night show compared to the many I seen was a C+ .Thanks for the many good times.

There are some relatively old guys onstage playing music at a VERY high level for their age. 1974 was 40 years ago. Think about that for a minute.

What exactly do you expect from them?

First time I saw the ABB was 1974 also.....seen them close to 100 times.........if this band is mailing it in......I'm playing centerfield for the NY Yankees!!!!!! The communication,smiles and good vibe on stage Monday night shows me they are into it big time.......and the level of performance, at least to me, was spectacular! Maybe,MAYBE not the best I have ever seen them..........but they were clicking on ALL cylinders!!

Was there last nite also, since it was such a disappointment I'll do you a huge favor and take whatever remaining tix you have off your hands. Don't put yourself through the agony of enduring another show, I'll dispose of the tix for ya. Pm me the details of where I can pick em up.......

I was there last night also, and thought it was a phenomenal show. Tuesday was good, but Wednesday was really, really good. As for the Dickey issue, it seems obvious based on recent statements that Derek and Warren like the idea of Betts sitting in for these final shows, but no formal invitation has been made.

I was there last night (Wednesday) in the center orchestra. I've seen well over 100 shows since 1974. They were a mighty force on stage last night. I have nothing but joy and gratitude.

In all of DOMEL's 73 posts he has never had anything good or positive to say about the band!
