[Ed209]

I seem to remember hearing they are one of Michael Eavis' favourite bands and the one band he wished had played Glasto,

Well now's his chance. No doubt he'll be phoning their management after hearing about this. Not a fan myself but I'm sure Eavis would be up for a bit of self indulgence on this one. Would suit glasto as well

Jerry Garcia is dead, dude.

That would be like Little Feat without Lowell George . Or Lizzy without Lynott.

Grateful Dead were meant to play Glastonbury in 1971, but didn't for some reason.

So instead they contributed a whole 24 minutes and 6 seconds of track to the Glastonbury 1971 album (which is has been available on CD for a while).

I guess they are touring under "The Dead", so it's a bit different anyhow. But point taken Sco77ie. I like a bit of the Dead, but I'm no Deadhead. I bow to your superior knowledge.

When I received the email from the Dead I immediately thought " Glastonbury? Europe?". It may well happen in which case I would have the cheesiest grin since Bruce Forsyth.
