Hi All,
I see that there are tickets for a gig in my neck of the woods where Warren plays Jerry songs with what is billed as a symphony orchestra. I am a HUGE Warren fan but am lately tired of all the times I have heard non-Dead artists do Sugaree .I hope I never have to hear another Shake Down Street , my least favorite Dead tune (Man was I disappointed when ABB did it!)
My question is will the novelty of an orchestra with Warren make for some delightful arrangements and danceable tunes?
It is an outdoor concert on a weekday and not cheap.I love Warren but am only willing to risk rain and bleariness the next day if there will be some dancing potential .
Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Grin

Heard it at Wolftrap. Warren playing Wolf!

Great night of music, Garcia Hunter tunes take the symphonic treatment quite well.

I could take or leave the Grateful Dead, but am a Warren fan.

I loved this show when I saw it a couple years ago. I would say my wife tolerates Warren pretty well and is casually familiar with the Dead, she also had a great time at the show.

It's certainly different, so I would say it's worth giving it a shot.

I am thrilled to be seeing this tour. Anybody know who is backing him beyond the orchestra? Is Sipe still there?

Yes still Sipe and Lincoln Schleifer and Jasmine Muhammad and they recently announced Jacyln LeBranch from Jerry's band would also be joining on vocals.

Thanks everyone!
I was not sure about whether I wanted to go and now I am very excited about hearing this sound which will be new to me.
I really appreciate your input.
