Thanks for posting this. There is apparently a lot of rich Deadheads out there. I have to admit that there are several things I would love to have but alas, I would rather spend the money on a new pair of speakers.
The Dead and their “Wall Of Sound” must have been amazing to hear, but without signatures or …. I know a guy, do you mind if I call him up and get him down here???
Opps, just had a Pawn Stars moment.

It's amazing what people will pay for American culture. One of those McIntosh amps went for $378,000. I had one of those old SS amps and it sounded like the voice was coming out of a basketball sized hole in the singers chest cavity.
 
There is no 'Dead Head generation' - go to any GD-related shows and you'll see fans of all ages; new ones are being brought into the fold all the time. This will keep going for a long, long time, as it should.
