Good Ol' Grateful Dead

April 12, 2009 finds the Dead back on the road (sure as you're born). Phish, the Dead, String Cheese incident in Michigan, wow, the jams are coming fast and furious this year. Anyhow, I downloaded the soundboards from the Greensboro, North Carolina show (first of the tour) and I was suitably impressed with the sound.

Of course, first shows after long hiatus could be fraught with peril, but I must say, the boys sounded good. Highlights include a pretty juicy New Potato Caboose, Estimated Profit, and He's Gone.
