    re: Jonappi
    I enjoyed reading your heartfelt comments. I tend to agree with you in most aspects except BK's unfortunate comment and JK's playing. In the first three shows in Oakland JK did some jamming that blew my mind. Then it was like a few gigs and a lot of rehearsal to put a collar on him. In other words, Phil & Bob want the spotlight and they're not giving much to JK as much as a lot of us would love it. Respect for Jerry? Nahh, that would not be the way Jerry would want to be honored. Chimeti, Russo & Lane are a bit more than adequate and the back-up singers add a spritz but nobody ever said this was the Grateful Dead. The Dead 09 had the Rhythm Devils and a stellar lead guitar and they sucked big time while we paid double. Maybe the drummers are just tired of playing Dead music. Lastly, if you never had the chance to see a Grateful Dead show, here you can have a taste of what it used to be like. Maybe that hit wouldn't be big enough for you. Certainly not for me. But as I get older and I can see the music and whats left of the original characters slowly fade away -- sort of like NFA to end a show then the band and the crowd letting that fade bleed out, I appreciate something more about the evolution of musicians and how times have changed. Take what is for what it is and go with it or don't go. ~Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare ~

    Shoreline shows were great
    But the Mnt View cops have destroyed the once fabled and hallowed Shoreline parking lot. Their presence was obnoxious - driving around, walking around, under cover, circling the perimerters with binoculars, completely shutting down vending, sniffing cups for alcohol - SHEESH!! I have never seen anything like it ANYWHERE. What a shame. What the hell happened?? Thank god for an upcoming Red Rocks run where we won't get hassled by the man. Rant over.

    change is as good as a rest....
    For me, stuck as i am in London as present, though soon Yokohama bound (nope, they probably won't play there either), it's only footage of Furthur online that allows me to witness their music in a live context. Some good ones too; see here - http://www.vimeo.com/user4180524Difficult to really gauge music when not feeling the air being pushed; that beautiful loop of participatory energy between audience and artist; that tactile quality of sound as it travels in waves through the ether. Completely different medium to the computer screen, high-end speakers or not. But until my wife and i's visit to that mad Head in Oakland, it will have to suffice. The result? Jury's out...... Some moments do shine brightly, no doubt; the sheer enjoyment of their faces can carry you through; some exquisite jams certainly and it's still early days (hopefully). Their commitment to improvisation unquestionable. And yet, so far, that feeling of slight indifference; an unconnectedness that draws me (kicking and screaming) out of the "zone", seems to permeate every experience thus far. And i wonder, just why is that? What breaks the spell at that moment when you are about to enter deep space? What slowly envelopes the Soul, like an encroaching blanket of feather-like fog? What is that voice that gently breaks you out of a cushion of bliss, to bring you back to the material world with a lingering feeling of disappointment and mild disillusionment? I read a review this morning on Jambase of Furthur's June 3rd show at Shoreline; there was a quote of Phil, upon acknowledgment of the audience, saying "without whom, the music couldn't get this weird". True, i wasn't at the show; i haven't seen any video, or heard any audio. But i wonder just how "weird" was it? So far, none of the music or footage i've experienced has paid a visit to those shores. Some inspired moments certainly, but really? Weird? Reading the February/March 2006 issue of Relix, Bob Weir, annoyed at the reception a "jazz diversion" in a Ratdog show was received by the audience, the "Deadheads who went limp", said "I hate those guys, they only like it when it's an old Dead song". Now truly stretching out into a more experimental, more "out" territory may well not be Furthur's basic modus operandi. Fair enough, absolutely. Personally, i only want the musicians, ANY artist to fulfill THEIR creative urges, EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't want to be pandered too; I want them to take THEIR music in any direction that their muse requires, no, DEMANDS. As long as it's from the heart, then complete respect is deserved every time. And i give it to them always. But, for me? I'm left a little wanting. This could well change in the future, of course. I've always found different locations, different hours of the day or night, different settings and different emotional states can produce vastly different results. And trust me, i'm in it for the long haul, i assure you. Now this next bit might be more appropriate in a different post; kinda new here (not to the Dead or this site), but recently felt the urge to dip one's toe in this black muddy river. Could my nagging emotional response to Furthur be down to the drums and guitar? Honestly? I think it is. From the bottom of my heart; not an ounce, a drip, a molecule, an amoeba (nothing against amoebas), a speck or a fleck of disrespect against Joe Russo or John Kadlecik, but this is where the contribution to "beigeness" lies. I just don't get an emotional payoff with these two. Could happen of course, as i said, but so far? Sad to say, no. And i don't even know why this is so. But once that suspicion creeps in, maybe analysis is pointless and a fool's errand. It presented itself and i have to acknowledge it. Drums: In other contexts, Joe has impressed. But i just don't know. Something is missing. It's all there and yet it isn't; the limbs moving but the journey tethered to the point of departure. My own wish to see.... Glenn Kotche? (Tony Williams? bless his SOUL). Hamid Drake? Chris Corsano? Jean-Paul Gaster? (in that pocket but jam to spare....) Claude Coleman Jr.? Tatsuya Yoshida? Gerry Hemmingway? Guillermo E. Brown? prime time Jack DeJohnette? Junzo Tateiwa? Steve Gorman? Gerald Cleaver? Guitar?....whoa......... I have to say i'm with Bill Kreutzmann on this regarding Furthur's approach and veiled reference to John. Although, his comments, that still show up in a google search of Jambands as headers, was wildly and shamefully taken out of context/exaggerated; he has said on many an occasion the respect he has for Furthur. I have read it. Lets hope others take the time to do the same. True, true, he might grow (and i truly hope so) into demonstrating a more personal form of expression, taking greater artistic control (and license) with the Dead material. Who knows what's in store? But can years and years of recreating Jerry's playing really be broken? Can his own inner voice really shine through? Does he have one? Will it be allowed to flower even if he does? What is the greater need for the Furthur followers (and the members themselves)? More of the same with occasional tangents, or real musical liberation within the framework of the Dead's gorgeous material? I know that he must feel an amazing amount of weight on his shoulders; i did think twice before contributing to any additional burden but it's only an opinion. Keep doing what you do John, whatever the outcome (let your life proceed by it's own design). As for an alternative? Well damn, i'll admit that i'm at a loss, still. The balance of down-home grit; earthy resonance and deep emotion to the very core, balanced with abstraction, dark space to the very edge of all that we hold secure; the frightening realm that berates as it inspires; that shatters all our notions of comfort, yet propels us into beauty and blissful uncertainty, strangely ripe with reassurance. The home at the edge of the world; the sunset after the end of the world. A six string equivalent of late period Coltrane. Full of soul, inquisitiveness, spirit and warmth. Brown earth and space dust on the tongue; a honey throat coat in a shimmering void. Maple and Ash. No negativity intended; no mean-spiritedness drifting from my heart. Just a gentle outpouring. Something for my fellow travelers to contemplate, i hope. What say you? A pleasure to swim in this beautiful sea we call DEAD. Responses and private messages/contact welcome. Everyone welcome. All the time. Keep safe everybody.

Did everyone get searched like that or were you just the lucky one? It's good to know if it was systematic or a random security jerk. Don't get me wrong there should be security but they should stick to searching for weapons and glass bottles - you know, things that can hurt people.

So sorry to hear your sad tale, especially considering these were the same 'security' so totally unprepared on Friday, and let all those without tickets into the campground for free.They really let the ball drop, and then I suppose needed to make up for it on Sunday? I read on the local Angels Camp on-line newspaper that the cops were really bent out of shape about the lack of security, and they must have read them the riot act, which led to your sad incident with a surely over-zealous worker at the gate. We went in and out numerous time over the weekend, and they never did more than squeeze my backpack looking for glass bottles. Over 60 people were arrested at this event. I'll never go there again.

Last time it was "SHAKEDOWN" but am not sure if it will be the same tomorrow. I would go to kbco.com and register with them - its simple. Then tomorrow right as tickets go on sale go to kbco.com and it will give you the password then it directs you to the TM website, plug in the password and you are set. Good luck!

It's just too bad that the cops/city has to be so lame about not letting them play there!Furthur Cancels July 5th show July 5th Shelburne Vermont Show CANCELLED To All Of Our Fans Who’ve Purchased Tickets To Our July 5 Show in Shelburne, VT: After days of meetings to address and alleviate last minute concerns being expressed by State and Local Authorities, Furthur is very disappointed to learn that today, the local authorities, citing an inability to deal with an expected influx of ticketless fans, traffic concerns, and other issues, have revoked the approved permits for the show and have decided to cancel Furthur's concert at Vermont's Shelburne Museum on July 5. As the decision made today by the local authorities has been made so close to the event date, unfortunately we are unable to find a suitable alternate venue. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience! Full & complete refunds are available at point of purchase. If you purchased online you'll automatically be refunded. In the meantime, please be assured that we are working hard to find a replacement show on July 5 somewhere outside of Vermont. We plan to announce plans for a replacement date later this evening. Please stay tuned for updates. ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥ Twirly Banner

Never did like Vermont - they have bumper stickers that say "Thanks for visiting Vermont, don't forget to leave." Always figured I'd rather forget to visit in the first place, and take my vacation dollars elsewhere.Looking forward to Lowell on 6/30!

There are a lot of Deadheads in the Burlington area and in Vermont. I'm one of them. When I first heard that Furthur was going to play at the Shelburne Museum I was delighted and confused at the same time. Delighted because it was going to be a small, intimate venue and confused because, given the popularity of the band, this was NOT a good choice to play. Unfortunately, I think this is a hangover from the 94-95 Highgate shows. Out of control crowds and tons and tons of trash all over the place did not endear the Grateful Dead to the locals. I think they failed to take into account the fact that it's 15 years later and a sold out show does not mean lunacy because we all got a lot older and tamer -- well, most of us anyway. Vermont is a very beautiful place and nobody wants to see it spoiled. They don't want anymore new people moving in because "the flat-landers" could gain control of the political process and change things. It's a hillbilly mentality. It was the hippies moving back to the land in the 70s that has given Vermont it's juicy quality (artists, artisans, craftspeople, meditation centers etc., etc.). On behalf of all the Deadheads in VT I would like to apologize for stupid, backwards-looking townies and staties who took it upon themselves to ruin for everyone. This would have been one of the more friendly and scenic stops on the tour and Burlington is a jewel of a city. We'll see if they shut down Rhyth Devils in Burlington in August. Please don't label all Vermonters Vermonsters. The idiots are few and far between.

What a way to kick off Summer Tour!!! Rochester is a beautiful small town, with a gorgeous park, and in the middle of Highland Park there is a beautiful bowl that fits 6000 perfectly. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, they provided us with rolling grassy parkland to tailgate in all night, and there was NO SEARCH upon entry. Beautiful people, most mature and kind, grooved steadily to some sick jams... Here Comes Sunshine, Stranger, Feelin Alright, Cosmic Charlie, New Potato Caboose... Thank you FURTHUR for a cookin show and to the city of Rochester for putting on a dignified family picnic. Show 'em how it's done! See you at ArtPark!!!!!!! (~);)

That is how it should be! Just got back from 3 nights at red rocks, no searches, no busts, no overwhelming security presence. I mean I already knew this but you can pretty much do whatever you want in there and amazingly no one abuses that. So it all works out for both sides. Furthur is going to be out of this world good when they show up there in September. Just 3 short months away!! "Lazy lightning you say you never strike the same place.

"I sense that the state people scared the local people into believinghell was about to descend upon them. The Higher Ground people should have known better all along that this was the wrong venue, but whoever waited until the last moment to raise their concerns seems to me to be a little nasty. I know, that, in the past, the band has worked to mitigate their impact, perhaps the 'authorities' were not interested in anything but not bringing this crowd to their burg." This is from a head with his ear close to the ground in Burlington. I think he and I are pretty much in accord on this...

The promoters again apologized to the community for having to cancel the show and announced that their venue, Higher Ground, would host a GD tribute by local area musicians this coming Monday. Sweet way to end the holidaze. As well they said they are hoping to bring Furthur to the area at an indoor site. Let's hope. The recordings of this summer have been worth the price of admission. ~ Kite's on ice since the first of February ~

I loved the new phil tune I heard at furthur it totally rocked! A high point of the night was after the beautiful sunset when bits of seedlings and pollen began floating through the air and dancing in the lights. By the time Fire on the mountain rolled around it was full on snowing in June and just Looked like ash from a volcano floating down and didn't stop for almost the whole show! What a special nite!

Hey Al et al., As for wishes, hard to say. That first show was a beauty and I don't wanna push my luck. Wishing for a Terrapin suite, though they've just played it recently... Help, Let it Grow, Eyes, same thing. They haven't played Candyman or Til the Morning Comes yet, both songs I'd love to hear live. I'm hoping they'll breakout Crazy Fingers at ArtPark. I love grooving to the funk so Music Never Stopped would be welcome, I'm also a Shakedown fanatic... Easy Wind, Alligator... heck I'll take anything! As mentioned before, CanHead convergence will likely be at one of the picnic shelters. Look for the maple leaf stealie flag. We'll be jammin and warming up the park. Hope to see you there!

Is there a place to find the lyrics of original furthur stuff that is being played? I was listening to XM last week and missed the introduction but I thought the song was "wooly bully" or something that sounded like that. I listened to the song as there was a line about a "buffalo" or something like that! Does anyone know what i am talking about. I know furthur played a couple of "new songs" during their April tour and I dont know if this was an old dead tune or something new from furthur! Just wondering????? And no......it is not the wooly bully song from back in the day!

...the new Hunter tune that Furthur is doing, I think. You might want to check Hunter websites to see if he has lyrics posted, assuming he is the author.

ArtPark was a doozie with lots of new tunes being broken out: Sitting on Top of the World, Operator, Crazy Fingers, West LA, TLEO, Women Smart, Bird Song, Hard to Handle, Mason's... many new tunes added yet expertly played. Hoping the rest of you are enjoying the tour so far. For those hearing shows after the break, you are in for a treat! Here's the song list thus far...Peace, K ------------------------------------------------ 06/25/2010 – 07/11/2010 After Midnight (07/02) (07/09) Alabama Getaway (07/07) All New Minglewood Blues (06/30) Alligator (07/03) (07/11) Althea (07/03) (07/10) And We Bid You Goodnight (06/25) (07/04) Ashes & Glass (07/08) Attics Of My Life (06/25) (07/09) Bertha (06/25) (06/30) (07/07) Big Railroad Blues (07/09) Big River (07/08) Bird Song (07/08) Black Peter (06/29) Black Throated Wind (06/26) Blues For Allah (06/27) (07/11) Born Cross-Eyed (06/25) (07/03) Box Of Rain (06/27) (07/05) Breathe (06/25) Breathe Reprise (07/05) Brokedown Palace (06/26) (07/11) Brown Eyed Women (07/09) (07/02) Candyman (07/05) Casey Jones (07/04) (07/07) Cassidy (06/29) (07/10) Caution (Do Not Step On Tracks) (06/26) (07/07) Celebration (07/04) (07/09) China Cat Sunflower (06/26) (06/30) (07/05) (07/10) China Doll (07/05) Cold Rain and Snow (07/04) Colors Of The Rain (06/30) (07/05) (07/09) Comes A Time (07/02) Corrina (07/10) Cosmic Charlie (06/25) (07/08) Crazy Fingers (07/08) Cream Puff War (07/03) Cryptical Envelopment (06/27) (07/08) Cumberland Blues (06/25) (07/04) (07/09) Dancin in the Streets (06/29) Dark Star (06/26) (07/03) (07/08) Days Between (07/04) (07/10) Deal (06/30) (07/08) Dear Mr. Fantasy (06/27) (07/04) (07/10) Dear Prudence (07/08) Death Don't Have No Mercy (06/25) (07/05) Dire Wolf (07/07) Doin' That Rag (06/30) (07/08) Don't Ease Me In (07/07) Dupree's Diamond Blues (06/29) Easy Wind (06/29) Estimated Prophet (06/29) (07/09) Eyes Of The World (06/27) (07/04) (07/10) Feel Like A Stranger (06/25) (07/11) Feelin' Alright (06/25) (07/03) Fire On the Mountain (06/27) (06/30) (07/05) (07/09) Franklin's Tower (06/27) (07/04) (07/10) Friend Of The Devil (06/30) Gimme Some Lovin' (06/29) Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad (06/25) (07/04) Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) (06/27) (07/10) Good Lovin' (06/27) Greatest Story Ever Told (06/29) Hard To Handle (07/08) Hell In A Bucket (07/02) (07/07) Help On The Way (06/27) (07/04) (07/07) (07/10) Here Comes Sunshine (06/25) (07/10) He's Gone (06/29) High Time (06/26) I Fought The Law (07/07) I Know You Rider (06/26) (06/30) (07/05) (07/10) I Need A Miracle (07/07) In The Midnight Hour (07/02) (07/11) It Must Have Been The Roses (07/09) Jack Straw (06/26) (07/04) (07/10) Johnny B.

Good Golly! They was kickin' it up in Canada! Seems to be where they peaked on the summer tour. I'm wondering about ramblin'up to the Polo Fields this August but they seem to be hitting and missing and I'd hate to make the rip for a mediocre show... What about it Bob & Phil & JK? You up for the SF Parks Department or what?? Anna Banana History's Page will be neatly carved in stone The future's here, we are it, we are on our own!

How was the rest of the festival? One of the most diverse line ups I have ever seen.. "Lazy lightning you say you never strike the same place. I want a double dose in any case" ... "You got to hear my supplication. Got to hear me now. A little bolt of inspiration"
