Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary

Oceanic Feeling

Looking at shots of the sea of Heads made me reflect upon the idea that when in "the mystical state some individuals can at times massively regress (progress?) to a condition of de-individuation, to the 'oceanic feeling' in which Self and Not-Self are one in pantheistic harmony and union." - Weston La Barre; The Ghost Dance

UK Deadheads?

I went to see the 'Live' cinema show on Monday 6th at Star City, Birmingham, UK and it was wonderful! Only thing was - there were only 6 of us in the audience! I didn't understand at all as when I saw the Ratdog concert in nearby Bilston, there were plenty of folks. Can anyone tell me why there was so few at Birmingham? Thanks to everyone who arranged the showing of the concert so far away, it was amazing to see all those thousands of people :)

Fare Thee Well - Chicago 2015

I went to Chicago with a guy who I saw the most Dead shows with over the years. I first saw the boys in 1984 at Pine Knob and my last show was at the Omni in 1995. I thought the guys did a tremendous job in putting together great setlists for each show. They only repeated Cumberland Blues and Truckin' during the 5 shows. I thought the final night in Chicago was amazingly strong and the atmosphere was unbelievable. China->Rider opener into a great Estimated! I was always a fan of Built to Last and they did the song justice. We got a Sunday song with Samson followed by a well-jammed Mountains Of The Moon. Throwing Stones was over the top to close the first set. The fireworks at intermission was very cool and lasted about 10 minutes. I heard Miracle in the opening notes for the 1st song of the second set, but got the last Truckin! Thank You, BOYS!!! Everyone was waiting for Terrapin and Trey played not only extremely well on it, but he did a very admirable job every night. I am not a Phish fan, but I have always liked his guitar work. Unbroken Chain never caught fire, but it was great to see them do it for the last show. I will say I never cared for The Days Between and I wish we got something else there, but to each their own. The great part of being a Deadhead is that we all have our favorites (and a selected few we do not want to hear). Not Fade Away was needed and outstanding. Thanks for the acoustic Attics to end the run! Love ya!

Desktop Only?

Tried logging in on my laptop. No luck. Then saw this: Watch All 5 Nights Anywhere 2 Shows Live From Santa Clara 3 Shows Live From Chicago Available Worldwide Available on Desktop Only 30-Day Unlimited Video-On-Demand Tried logging in on my desktop, got in. Is this right - desktop only? Never saw this when I ordered.

has the webcast started? i

has the webcast started? i thought is was supposed to start at 5:00, 2 hrs before the show?? my screen says "will start soon"

Webcast

No pregame

Try Chrome

I could not get in using Internet Explorer - must be something in my configuration.I could get in when I used Chrome. Good Luck!

not on yet

I'm on through youtube on WiiU. I thought I saw Roku works too.It won't work with my Amazon box. I haven't tied the youtube app on my samsung tv. I guess some work, some don't. Unfortunately my receiver in being repaired and I'm down from 7.1 to 2 crappy tv speakers.

Webcast

bummer. thanks. thought i read different.

If all else fails...

SiriusXM.com offers a free-30 day trial for their internet radio.

Can't login for tonight's video

I paid for all 5 nights video and got a message that my credit card had been billed. But when I try to watch get asked for a Username and password. I was never asked for a username. Tried the email address about 20 times, no good. Been on hold with the phone help line for an hour. Concert starts in 25 minutes. This is a PPV abortion. And of course there are lots of disclaimers about how there will be no refunds. MLB.com you seriously blew this one.

laptop????

Is it desktop only??? I can't get it on my laptop.........

Can't get it on my desktop.

Can't get it on my desktop. Whoever is responsible for the paid stream is not performing.

Chrome worked for me, IE would not

Thanks mes7596

BUMMER

Desk Top Only - Seriously!

my youtube backround FTW

my youtube backround FTW paper stopped waving in the background. This is either very good, or very bad, or I need more stuff to make it start waving again. oh, it'waving again. I'm worried. Getting another beer. Those ARE working!

Laptops OK

I'm in on my laptop. But via Chrome, not internet explorer. With IE, I was getting the same login issue that others are having. You should be able to enter your email address and password that you set up with you did the "Redeem" from the email.

Is anything on

On my youtube it is as if the show hasn't started, maybe it hasn't I dont know

cannot either

Same as you. I even emailed the customer service people. Any news yet?

I'm on

I'm on, I'm on, I'm on !!!youtube works. Nice stream on my tv. Cancel and try YT?

Same Here

Can't Login, paid for it and they charged my card.Been on the phone for 40 minutes. TYpical "New Comercial GDCluster F***'. after 50 years of loyalty you'd thinkit's be free.... Bwahahahahaaaa

Webcast

Got on YouTube .have to have Google email account from what I can tell. No preshow camera movement/ inside or out of stadium. Would be nice to see what the scene looks like.

Rip Off

Still can't get the video I paid for. They said the audio would be on XM, but they are playing a concert from 1984. Rip Off!!!!!

No Internet Explorer for MLB use firefox or chrome

Could not login switched to firefox all was good. Password reset page wouldn't work googled MLB password and found another page that did.

Show has not started you still have time to get it worked out

Show has not started you still have time to get it worked out.

Arrrrggghh

Paid twenty bucks and can't even get to a Login screen....sitting on hold with the Custer service line for 30 min....so frustrated, better get refund for this, talk about a letdown

Waxing Nostalgic

Sorry for all those having trouble logging in, try google chrome instead of internet explorer as previously mentioned. Wow, for a guy who's been "off the road" for 25 years (saw approx 150 shows, last in 1990), it's a little overwhelming to have mid-floor views on the big screen, so many memories are washing over me already. Really glad to be a part of this, no matter how it differs from the dream we dreamed long ago...

Fare Thee Well

Doesn't work on IE but chrome is good. I'M ON!!!! Thanks Jerry! Username is email address.

how do I get volume thru

how do I get volume thru google chrome

hey now

can someone send me alink please cant find the show

getting on (or off)

Strike that from the record.

YouTube

YouTube stream works great on PC, iPhone,Chromecast, and even Roku (it;s SD on Roku, but they said it wouldn't work at all, so better than nothing).

Trey

I want to give Trey the benefit of the doubt, but he just looks like an outsider up there, doesn't fit in with the boys. Maybe by day 5 he will.

Setlist

Set 1 Smokestacky jam> Truckin UJB Alligator Cumberland Born Cross-eyed Cream Puff War Viola Lee Blues>rainbow jam Set 2

setlist

My friend texts it as Slipnot>Truckin'. Maybe the instrumental intro wasn't recognized. Totem: You're probably right. I think the intro was not recognized by my friend — or maybe she really wanted to hear it. I'll bet Trey is holding his own.

blue mike

the intro had a bluesy smokestack feel to it, no slipknot I could hear

Good so far...

:), :), :) running just fine on the Mac system, tho couldn't get it to port over to the wi-fi & had to run a cable. As for hating on Trey; fer fucks sake, dude...." Shut up and dance"

Jam > Truckin...

??? Had an almost 'Tiger' feel to it...

~

My transmission from wrong planet. Thanks, Totem.

@Setlists

Set 1 Smokestack Lightning Cream Puff War Limb by Limb Bertha Sneaking Sally Through the Alley Resurrection Jam Milking the Turkey Set 2

@songs and things

Set 1 Smokestacky jam>Truckin UJB Alligator Cumberland Born Cross-eyed Cream Puff War Viola Lee Blues>rainbow jam Set 2 Cryptical Envelopment> Dark Star

Re: @ set lists...

Rotflmao. Tho that was more 'Limb By Limb' than Reba...:p

Jam

wheres the jam from on the PPV?

so far

They looked a bit lost but trey owned cream puff war and from there it's been great. Trey brings it all together imo.

@trey

He doesn't suck....meant in a good way

also..

Since I've been stuck here in the hospital for the past 3 days it's nice to hear some good vibes. Guess I'm lucky I got shut out of these shows, would've missed them anyway.

ppv jam

dunno but its good

Positive vibrations

It's moving to see the boys together again--- my wife broke into tears a few times--- I can't criticize, this is a dream come true. Phil looks vibrant and happy, they all do and they sound amazing after 50 years. Can't wait for Trey to let loose

Having fun

A few rough vocal moments but it had some high points. Long break !

Keep up the feedback,

Keep up the feedback, Grateful for it! Enjoy the ride!

Did they go take a nap?

Hitting the oxygen and

Hitting the oxygen and defibrillators pretty hard

O2 and defibs

What do you mean by that? @uconnjhd: I think you're right, and it's a clever way to point out another legendary long break, but perhaps also put them down for being old and slow. I guess I'm a little over-sensitive, as I am old and slow myself, and have had personal experience with defibrillators. They're not exactly something that you hit on like an asthma inhaler :-)
