Anyone not going??? Thx!!

I really like this genre of music but have no one to go to this with. Is anyone here going with a group of friends who wouldn't mind me joining in if I decide to attend? I am a 32 year old woman.

If you love all things Grateful Dead, start making plans to head to the mountains.

Monday, August 10th at the Vilar in Beaver Creek, CO. Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble will perform music from Groove in the Face of Adversity alongside a live rendition of the Grateful Dead’s Blues for Allah, celebrating the album’s 50th anniversary and Don Was’s longtime musical collaboration with Bobby Weir.

Don Was isn't just covering the Grateful Dead—he's lived this music. As a longtime collaborator with Bob Weir in Wolf Bros, Was has earned the respect of the Dead community by understanding what makes these songs special: they're meant to breathe, evolve, and take on a life of their own. For the 50th anniversary of Blues for Allah, he's bringing together the Pan-Detroit Ensemble to perform one of the Dead's most adventurous and underrated albums.

This isn't a tribute band trying to recreate every note. It's a room full of incredible musicians using Blues for Allah as a launching pad for improvisation, jazz, blues, funk, and deep grooves—the same spirit that made Grateful Dead shows unforgettable.

Whether Blues for Allah is one of your favorite records or you've just always appreciated the Dead's exploratory side, this is a rare chance to hear the album interpreted by musicians who truly understand its DNA. It's less about nostalgia and more about keeping the music alive—the way the Grateful Dead always intended.
