Downloaded the Friday night show in Chicago, and have watched some videos on youtube, so I'm working on my second-hand farewell. I wasn't a Dead Head but I would have liked to have been at one of the concerts just because of the incredible nostalgia factor. Lots of memories there.

Are you talking about that ~25 GB video in two parts? I watched that one last night, have Sunday downloaded and ready to watch. Particularly intrigued about what brought on all the cheers at the end (I know it was still images but curious to see.) On the fence about Saturday.

It was probably the group bow - if you were going to skip a chicago show, I'd skip the Saturday show.
