News - O- Rama:Grateful Dead, Phish, Rush, Black Sabbath, Rush, and new band too...

Stank patchouli alert! (Why do people insist on bathing themselves in this stench)? The Grateful Dead tour again. Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart will play 17 cities beginning April 12 in Greensboro, NC and closing on May 16 at The Gorge in Quincy, WA. www.dead.net

Speaking of questionable scents and the old joke “What did the Dead Head say when the acid wore off?”: Phish news
Rhino presents The Clifford Ball a 7 dvd collection documenting Phish’s 1996 festival. The mondo-box (you’ll have to sell a lot parking lor burritos for this) contains all three sets - complete with encores that Phish played during the two-night event, plus “hours” of bonus footage.
