Haven't counted the Phish shows (I still have yet to organize those ticket stubs :lol: )

I lost my ticket stub collection in a move after 85 shows. Somewhere around 125 I think.

Well, the consolation is you're likely to be kicking around long after I've taken a dirt nap.

I never really counted and tried to keep stubs but....well you know, a youngin has to learn the ropes. I know it's at least 50 but probably not more than 65....

Let's hope so!

I have to admit, when Jerry died, I had no, I mean no idea who he was. Didn't get much coverage on MTV news, and I was 13. The next year I saw David Grisman, then Phish, then a year or two later I had a clue what I missed. Actually no, I still have no idea what I missed :cry1:

I have no idea. I first saw them 10/31/70. (Stony Brook). I never thought about counting back then. There was a time I did something like 30 shows in 45 days.
Anyway, I had seen a few...

Highly doubtful. Others who have not weighed in saw more.

Now if you'd said winner instead of champion, I'd have said all of us who got to see are winners ;)

somewhere around 20. i didn't discover them until my early 20s. wish i'd wised up sooner...i vividly remember telling a boy in my neighborhood when i was 13 or 14 "the grateful dead? no, i'm not really into heavy metal."

he just smiled and shook his head at me. took me a long time to understand the pity in his eyes :lol:

Never kept a tally, but several years ago I was going through some of my old ticket stubs that I have actually held on to, and counted well in excess of 200,not counting Jerry projects.
Was fortunate enough to see a lot between '77 & '84, then back to a few shows a year/shorter runs after that.

Over 110, if we're counting JGB too.


Not too shabby for a housewife raising 3 kids at the time. :jamguy:

Between Spring '83 and Spring '93, somewhere in the IASW range, I think. Could be a handful more or less. Some of my memories of that time are pretty foggy.

10 shows here. I feel very fortunate to have been able to see them (him). My first show was in '91 when I was 17 (my brother was there with me...at 14). Last show was '94. Never saw them in '95 at all, we skipped the shows because the last '94 show (I wanna say Giant's Stadium that summer?) was so rough that we just didn't want to see the band floundering like that. Phish.

My first show was magical. Bruce and vince on keys.

Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (9/8/91)

I don't have a count on JGB shows or any Dead-related projects.

Yeah, when those incredible setlists started pouring out (St. Stephen > The Eleven > Mason's Children, etc.) my friends were raving... I merely replied: without Jerry, it doesn't count.
...drove them nuts. :lol:

I miss Jerry, too.

not sure exactly but estimating an average 10 shows per year 1979 - 1995 that would be approx 160. :mrgreen::mrgreen:
