Right....recreating a specific Dead show is what they're about.
The folks I know who've seen them...both Deadheads...have been ranting
about 
them.
For instance, they say that the gal who they have doing the backing vocals

is way better
than who the head doing them (early 70s?)...and that sometimes they even 
out****ne
the original since there isn't the factor of substance abuse marring a
show.
But that's just the opinion of two...and I'm a bit wary of praise that
says 
something
surp***** the original.   I mean, to be the original and to be
copied...that 
would seem
like 9/10 of the genius to begin with...
