    I dont think there will be any Summer Tour dates as The Dead..Due to the RD summer tour and the AB summer tour..Unless they can Clone Jeff,Bobby and Warren and they can be 2 places at once! Hey,There's an idea(LOL) But judging from the amount of fun and how AWESOME this band sounds,I wouldn't rule out a fall tour and beyond..I think they're gonna ride it till the wheels fall off....And they should!!! :-) On a side note...I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a poster I seen many years ago that has License plates on it from all 50 states,All with some kind of Dead related vanity on it, ie: DRK-STR and at the top it just says "WE ARE EVERYWHERE" Please PM me if anyone has seen this or knows how to get it...Thank-You,My brothers and My sisters...peace, G :-)

    Summer Tour???
    Hey all. I've gotta miss this spring tour (though the boys are playing tonite right by my house). I took a gamble and decided not to see the indoor shows this spring. Haven't been to a show since Jerry's last one in 95. Anyone hear of any summer dates? I'm tempted to check out Rothbury in July but I was REALLY hoping for a summer outdoor show at Alpine Valley. I'm LOVING the setlists and the sound of the band this spring! This 'ol deadhead is on pins and needles!

    2ND NIGHT AT THE SPECTRUM:)
    Man, I can't begin to explain the positive and loving vibes in the lot as well as the show:) It reminded me of one of the last shows I caught in 1994 at Buckeye Lake. The boys are playing quite well together and the energy is amazing!!! Seeing how I embarked on a spiritual adventure the night before, I toned it down and sisnt eat so much "enhancers" the 2nd night:) Both set lists the 2nd night was spectacular. I got to hear my MORNING DEW for the first time on this tour:) And I think 90% of the crowd new that SAMSON & DELILAH was gonna be the encore, and it was an excellent encore:) Thank you all!!! Dead.net friends, Thank you all (GIgi, Snodgrass, Techgurl,Rooster, Chuck...and all the rest) Thank you guys!!! You are my true FAMILY and I can't wait to see you all again at another show!!!:)Peace- Moye

    Crazy idea..
    I just had a funny thought.... The Dead are not allowed to play at Hampton, so they sneak in on an April Fools Day as the Grateful Dead!!!

this tour is kind of over, but other forum topics are reasonably lively. There's a good deal more to the site than this one topic.

Hey there, can anyone tell me if GDTS-TOO has sent out the mail order tickets for the Further gigs for Sept. 18-19-20 in Oakland? Did anyone here receive their tix yet? Gigs are two weeks from today, and though I haven't done mail order since spring tour '95 it seems that I always got my tickets in the mail by the time it was two weeks to the show date. Thanks!

out of the bush for a little while, met up with a little birdie who told me to keep yer eyes and ears open for some NYE shows at the Great American Music Hall in SF. odds are it will be Further rather then the Dead or possibly the DOG and Phriends... at the very least, Jackie Greene will be playing!! ( -: the rumor mill has just started cranking back to life. love and peace.

that'd be a real tough ticket. The GAMH is tiny. Really cool venue, but tiny.

Since DSO and Govt Mule each have NYE plans already I would place my bet on a RatDog/Phriends show like last year. "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

yup, the music hall only has about a 5 or 600 standing capacity... Greene is slated to play there 12/30 / 12/31; will some of the boys show up to jam? will the Dog or Phriends set up their own joint gigs back at the Civic Center like last year?? well, well, well, you can never tell. Further is busy until mid-Dec, on the east coast... figure a couple of weeks off for Christmas, and then... hmmmm.... peace.

What is the address of the Great American Music Hall and is it near the Cal Train Station? Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm 74

folks, please keep in mind The Dead or the Dog or Phriends or Further for NYE is a rumour. IF, Lesh or Weir do not schedule their own shows, they MAYBE might, MAYBE show up at the Music Hall and jam with Jackie... well, well, well, you can never tell... peace.

Hi! I am working on research for a film about DIY music venues, and in the process have stumbled across accounts of the Dead's 1967 "Great Northern Tour." I have read that this was one of the first instances of a major band financing an entire tour themselves. I do not know much more than this, or am I very knowledgeable about the Dead but I thought someone here might be able to answer some questions and shed some light on the history. Is there a board member I should talk to in particular? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Direct message me with any and all insights. THANK YOU -Sam

as I recall from postings elsewhere, Jackie Greene is doing HIS NYE shows at the GAMH those nights.

well well well, you can never tell. right NOW, Jackie is scheduled and tix on sale for the GAMH, 12/30 and 12/31/09 same same last year, Jackie WAS slated for the GAMH around this time, but once Weir and Lesh decided to play the civic center, Jackie cancelled the GAMH and joined in over there. last year, it was, however, around this time that Jackie cancelled the GAMH... so if there is no word from Weir or Lesh in the next couple of weeks, I wouldN't expect any dead / Phriends / DOg shows. the BIG factor this year, , Weir and Lesh are doing the Furthur thing on the east coast until 12/13... so who knows? maybe those boys will just want to take a well deserved rest... Weir got to rest up for the Jamaica thing, too. personally, I think there will NOT be any DOG or Phriends shows, but they MAYBE will show up at the GAMH and jam with jackie. (they did that before some other show a while back...) rumours still flying around... if there is any confirmation one way or the other, please let us know. likewise, I'll do the same. peace.

but with our luck (or mine anywhose..) it would be left over green beer from St. Patty's Day and for my money, one thing the world does NOT need right now (or ever for that matter) is a bunch of drunk monkies flying around sick on green beer. Hate it when that happens. The camp on Mem. weekend sounds nice BTW.

Hey now! New to the forums, but long to the vibe! We're traveling from DC/VA to CA for this summer's Mountain Air Fest!! Curious to know from other's who have been to this location- the Calaveras County Fairgrounds/Angel's Camp....should we expect it to be as large and as well outfitted as our (east-coast) All Good Festival, for example? Car camping probable if one arrives early? Bountiful food vendors, so as not to worry about cooking? Port-a-johns and pay-showers available? Kind friends? Mellow/safe vibe, despite the huge turnout? We'd love to know as much as we can so we can be well prepared to party! Thanks! ...and see ya'll west-coasters out east for the remainder of the Spring shows!

This thread is pretty old, but I don't know if it's old enough to need wrinkle cream. Besides, wouldn't that just make our monitors look all streaky? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
