Negril is very much like a non-stop Dead show. It's like we always said to people who have never experienced it; If I have to explain it to you, you probably wouldn't understand. It is more than just a destination, just like the Dead shows were so much more than just a concert. We are never the same after we leave, we want to return as quickly as possible.
BTW, my 1st Dead show was Aug. 1978, Was at the very last one in Chicago in 1995. 1st trip to Negril march 1989. Will be returning in December!!
What a long strange trip it's been!!!

@phineas - I see you are from WI - did you ever get to see the Dead at Alpine? I know to a Deadhead it's a bad comparison, but my DH and I are huge DMB fans and we've travelled all over to see them. I've seen them over 35 times - I know it's not the same as the Dead, but damn, it's good enough to keep bringing us back. The music is a part of the fabric of our lives after so many years (been fans for over 15 years). I am so excited to add another life-affirming and magical experience to my memories - Negril!

The Alpine shows were some of the best ever. Usually two or three day events. Never missed one Still get my fix by seeing Phil & friends, or when they do the Furthur thing with Bob. If you ever get a chance, check out the Gathering of the Vibes fest, every year at this time, in Bridgeport Connecticut
