Grateful Dead Rehearsal Change Rocks for Obama

The Dead Reunite for Obama - OCT 13Here's a clip of the Dead (Grateful Dead) rehearsing on Oct. 13, 2008 just prior to their Change Rocks concert and benefit for Barack Obama.
This tape represents the first time the Dead have been back together since 2003 and one of the first times in their 40 year history that they have backed a specific candidate. So join us on this little trip as we take you backstage to hang with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman, Warren Haynes & Jeff Chimenti more commonly known as the Dead.

This is the Dead rehearsing St. Stephen . . . we hope you enjoy it.

We were able to spend quite a bit of time with the Dead that day and there will be more clips to follow.

Concerning the inaugural ball they'll be at Tuesday night, I know it was by invitation only, but was there a cost associated with it or were the tickets just given away?

[V1DE0PR0DUCER]

Tickets did cost about $175, but we got 4 tix for free!  good times.

actually, the music and themes of the grateful dead music and its origins are quite the opposite of what you would find from a big government politician. the music and themes are closer to the tea party concepts of smaller governments and limiting the kind of ram down your throat taxation without representation illegality that Barack Obama is setting forth.

Congrats to the brave Navy Seals!

Btw, Obama was a typical misogynistic Muslim douchebag. He was killed standing behind a woman who was shielding him.

Now we need to exterminate the people who control the price of oil.....

and the women they're hiding behind :o)

@x2cb

I know..unfortunate, isn't it?

[tiddlywinks98712]

lol why is America so Conservative and backwards?? and they claim it to be the 'land of the free'?! haha, well, its the land of the free if ur a billionaire and don't wanna have any of ur money used to help others, so you can selfishly sit on it for years and years while people struggle through poverty.

[tiddlywinks98712]

@redbullbundy u realise its taxed from the rich in order to support the poor who conservative america has normally taken a shit on in order for the rich to have a new luxury swimming pool or exotic bar in their 20,000 Acre gardens. Its about time America started to think about others. ALSO, the grateful dead have always been about the music, im sure they dont give a shit if some of their excess money is taken to help others.
