Grateful Dead

....if I was, this would be pretty awesome first show.... Shakedown Street-> Jack Straw-> Sugaree The Weight Peggy-O Me & My Uncle-> Cumberland Blues (roll aout the barrel) They Love Each Other (fast version Cassidy-> Don't Ease Me In China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider The Golden Road (to unlimted devotion)-> Estimated Prophet-> Bertha-> Good Lovin' Eyes Of The World-> Terrapin Station-> Drumz-> Space-> Spanish Jam-> Viola Lee Blues-> Alligator-> So Many Roads-> Alligator-> Goin'Down The Road Feeling Bad-> Not Fade Away Touch of Grey-> Box of Rain In a perfect world, it would end at 2 o'clock in the morning Wishful thinking.... I'm thinking Trey might sing some of the Jerry tunes....I also think he might pull it off....

Oh gosh, oh geeze. I guess that it had to come to this, that all things must pass; but I really hated to see that this was "the next and last time". Maybe because '14 was a year of goodbyes, maybe because of Bobby hitting the wall last summer, maybe because there are more silver than brown hairs left on the dome, but this hit me like cold rain. The Grateful Dead is much more than some band I used to see a lot more often. I have seen a lot of good bands; I don't wear Mahavishnu Orchestra t-shirts, or have Miles Davis hats. My belt buckle is not a String Cheese logo. It's really simple: The Grateful Dead and the Spirit of Love we shared changed my life. I never will, nor would I want to, lose that vibe. So, let us not say goodbye just yet, let's always hope for a second set.

I used to do mail order in the 80s, and I'm doing it for these shows. Here's what I wrote, on the outside of the envelope and the index card, using 7/3 as an example: 7/3-1 ticket 115.50 GA Pit (1st choice) or 215.50 Reserved. I did the same for 7/4 and 7/5. Then, I'm putting in six money orders, three for 115.50, and three for 100 even. That way, if I get the GA, they can send me back the 100.00 money orders. If GA goes quick, and it probably will, they use the 100 dollar money orders to fulfill my order(s) for 215.50 tickets. if you are not using a regular mail for return shipping, add yet another additional money order to cover the shipping cost you choose.
