Grateful Dead

One for the money, two for the show ... No idea what can be the real driving force for The Band to move towards Europe. Is there a way to ask them? And would they reply ? Jerry is in the music, and in our souls, so are all the members of the band... With and or without Jerry ... Daybreak on the land... It is getting WEIRD ... You always need a plan B.... There are still tickets for sale in the US ... maybe Sail or Fly over.... Any candidates ? "Sail away ship of fools" ... "So Many Roads" ... Deadheads from all over the world coming together ... in Europe to ???

I wonder what the band's requirement would be to come over and do some shows? Would they prefer to have promoters in Europe handling things, or Americans. Also, how the money side would be handled. When Bob played up in Scandinavia recently I get the feeling he was offered a stack of cash by some rich guy. If money is the issue it would be interesting to know how much they would hope to gross. It's a difficult calculation to estimate what size venues they could fill without Jerry. What do the rest of u guys and gals think? Paradiso (Amsterdam) sized venues? Fabrik in Hamburg, Stash? Or bigger? Opinions please..! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you kind?"

it has too looking forward to europe dates - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

That would be Grateful, Have not seen the band since 1979 in London with their fabulous Wall Of Sound. A tour would be a good antidote for a America who is in war with so many world citizens and a Europe who is following the same path. It would be a miracle every day... come on Uncle Johns Band give us a brake on the land. So happy to have my daily dose of your unique music and after almost 38 years still discovering new material... What a long strange trip...

Come to Europe, plenty of festivals to borrow a PA.

a visit would be much appreciated, have not seen the band since 1990 tour Bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spanish Jam

a grateful greeting to the great news that just landed in my inbox. Working hard to be there in the square on my birthday. love to all around the world

No offense to anyone, but I can't believe some people in the U.S. complaining about an 8 hour drive to get to a Dead show etc... what about those of us overseas? Man, I used to hitch across the U.S.A. to see the Dead, with NO money in my pocket. I always found a way! I even traveled all the way from the south of New Zealand once JUST to get to do Spring Tour (surely a Deadhead record) arriving around midnight the night before with no idea of where I'd stay, just heading to the lot and seeing what happened. I've even had to be in the States illegally to see shows as I got deported years ago for swinging on the lot. This is what being Deadicated really means! I'm happy for everyone in the U.S., but my heart is breaking at the same time. I don't think I can handle the stress of going into the States illegally again to see the boys even though I know I'd see a lot of old friends. My best friends, the best u could ever wish for. My family. But with the way the U.S. is like a police state these days the chances of getting caught and put in jail for a year or two just for entering illegally is probably too much for me. Bob, Phil, Bill and Mickey... Please come to Europe... PLEASE, PLEASE everyone, post asking the guys to tour Europe this year!!! If we all kick up a fuss maybe we could get lucky and see them one more time... this could be our last chance..! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you kind?"

I'm originally from New Jersey, been living in Florida for the past few years and am moving to London in a few weeks. I see a few of you here are in that area, I was afraid I'd never meet anyone with my tastes...I hope that there's a hidden underground of hippies over there!

glad to have you here!
