I am going to couple of Greathful Dead shows (they are now called Further) and I was wondering if some locals can give me some adivce on some good spots that might have some house music playing. I will be there next week (the 8th 9th, and 10th). I used to live there for a while, but never really got a feel for the scene... i've been to Pacha once, Boris was playing and that wasn't all that good..

Thanks in advance :)

They are very good! I went to two shows in LA and two shows in Monterey last month.. good times! I mean.. the way they transition from song to song is amazing. I friend of mine is a huge fan of theirs(what is known as a dead head), and last year I managed to get him out to a Digweed show in SF and he loved it, and after that he kept telling me that it is very much like a dead show,, and i was like wtf man, that doesn't make any sense, but then I went to one show and I've been hooked since. Great lyrics too..

here is a short vid I made from the show in Monterey. Can't wait for madison square garden

Nice one! Glad you stopped in and heard some quality music. I've been there once on a nondescript night and had a great time. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=153"]Luke Fair[/url] has played there a few times. If you are interested check out the P&R section this board and you'll find the recordings.

Incredible.. both sets were great! They opened with Sugar Magnolia into Scarlet Begonias .. the second set they opened with Shakedown street and the place went crazy :) And then they gave us Fire on the Mountain.. I managed to record the whole song on my phone, here is the vid:
