After going to so many live Dead shows I just couldn't bring myself to go to a Phish show when Jerry died. I've heard great things about the music but it just wasn't the same culture or magic it seemed. I just play my old bootleg tapes from time to time and think back on the smell of Patchouli and hippie chicks. Good times

I have (the audio of) a couple three hundred shows on DVD. The older I get, the less big crowds appeal to me, so I'll be doing my thing from home. I would like to see Dead & Co if they came close though. I'm happy that John traded pop stardom for the nightly grind of the road.After going to so many live Dead shows I just couldn't bring myself to go to a Phish show when Jerry died.

The boys take the stage about a minute into it.

phish was one of the most boring concerts I've ever seen; awesome music - but stage presence left much to be desired

That's why they have the best lighting show in the business.
One of the strangest Phish shows I've seen was back in 1992 when they opened for Santana at Shoreline. The Santana biker crown was super confused by a drummer in a dress playing a vacuum cleaner.
The second strangest Phish show I've seen was in Vegas back in 2000 when Kid Rock showed up and sang You Shook Me All Night Long and We're an American Band.

Widespread have a counterculture / hippy fanbase? I love almost all music but for me it's all about being around "my people" the freaks, the rebels, the burnouts, hippies, the wooks.. you know, the good people
Heck I'd even go to a juggalo festival.. "Bring me your rejects, your tweakers & your huddled boofing masses! lol

Wonderful quote...well done. Sounds like America's stance during the years of immigration ( " the poor , the weak etc.) . Snappy f'ing writing !Widespread have a counterculture / hippy fanbase?

Well, are you looking for a festival atmosphere with electricity, bathrooms, and merch tables, or drum circles and long term camping? Any of the like music festivals or jam bands get you there. From bluegrass to whatever electronic music is these days. Look up drum circles in and around your area, or other places you would like to visit. If you get an urge for adventure, try going home to a Rainbow gathering. Stay a few nights.
As for where the deadheads are...everywhere. Dispersed to a static level throughout the universe.
