Hey stash...
... do you have a segment on your show called "Sprockets" by any chance?
restash
Hey TigerLilly and buddy plant,
a GD cover band in Heidelberg? No, I didn't know. What's their name? I only know that Billy Goodman's living there. Ah, perhaps Karmic Society? One can read on their myspace page "Sounds like Cobham and Stockhausen are having a barbecue, somewhere in the San Francisco bay area. And everybody's coming. Emerson, Hendrix, McLaughlin, the Doors (they even brought some salad),... But it seems like the Beatles have put some lsd in everybody's sausages!"
Btw, Cosmic Finger will play live and acoustic in the studio on 8 December!
Sprockets? No, what do you mean?
Ciao,
Frank
Karmic society??
may be correct. I will look up that vid again.And Sprockets was a sketch from the comedy show Saturday Night Live-was poking fun at German music and "musicians" from the hmmm bauhaus into neue deutsche welle times. Was very funny!

The Dead With Warren Hayes.
Hi All. My first ever post! I live in the UK and have been a Dead fan for nearly 20 years. I guess that makes me a new starter compared to some folks on here. It took me a while but I saw the light in the end!!! I love all sorts of bands, especially jamming guitar bands, which brings me on to Guvt` Mule. I`m desperate to hear the Dead with Warren Hayes as a member!! Where can I get some of the latest gigs??The only Dead related "boot" live stuff I have to trade is a Ratdog gig from Newcastle upon Tyne, England a few years back. Rob Wasserman on bass. I do have quite a few shows by other bands.
I will be grateful for any help....... Cheers
The Dead With Warren Hayes.
I realised I didn`t put my email in the last post...........Cheers.peterwalkerblyth@yahoo.co.uk

Hallo Heiko
I am quite close to you, about 40 KM from Frankfurt.
Deadheads in Europe are few and far between, but we are here.
There is a pretty good jam band in Heidelberg, and another in Nürnberg. The names escape me at the moment, but I will look them up and post here again later.

I wasn't really being down just a bit dissappointed.Anyway we had good bands,good sound,good beer,good weather and good company.A perfect hedonistic chillout weekend that carried on well into Sunday night after we got home.
Only 360 days till the next one - can't wait.
Hedonism you say, GTed?
What kind of debauchery do you all engage in where you have to join a private club to get in?In the English countryside? The mind boggles with the possibilities...
Did Mick, Keith, Justin & Andrew make the scene, having Ripplesex to the Jerry Sounds?
Did the pap outnumber the participants inside?
Calling from Sylt/Salt
Hi dead friends,see you on tour. Caught some of you at Antaris.
BooooooM.
I am positive if there were
I am positive if there were any promoter types close to who could locate out precisely how the band would settle concerning revenue for doing, say eleven, shows on the European tour. Then it's just a matter of booking the proper venues within the time they could tour. Obviously a lot of Americans would arrive more than. I'd expect a good interest here from Europeans also. It would definitely be financially viable. Who can discover out what the bands needs will be? Surely they'd be up for that tour of the lifetime, specifically as there's the opportunity today to hit up Eastern Europe. I'd undoubtedly recommend Prague, Budapest, Gdansk and Tallinn at the same time since the clear Western European spots.

Won't you come see me Phil Lesh
Stuck inside of Vienna with the San Francisco Blues again!I miss SF, My sister just saw Neil Young play a little solo show in oakland and then hung out with his son Ben. I got to see him play 14 shows straight warming up for a Europe tour before I left SF in a little bar where I used to play, It was really low pro, he used a fake band name, and only about 100 tix were sold for each show.
I miss seeing phil and friends and the new tour they did with everybody, I guess as the dead.
Do they ever plan on coming back out to Europe?????
They really should, I agree with the last post, It would for sure be worth it for them, and I am SURE they would enjoy their time here.
Let's bring em back!!!!
Hand me my old guitar and pass the whiskey 'round.

jambandseurope
just this year we have started up a new site for deadheads/jamband fans in europe.it's at www.jambandseurope.com
we try to have all the information on tour dates for bands coming to europe as well as gig dates by local european jambands and dead cover bands. some interviews, reveiws, etc. right now it's more of a resource tool, but hopefully a new version will be up by the beginning of the year with discussion groups, etc. to make it more community oriented
please take a look. send us your suggestions, your contributions, etc. and please tell everybody about it!
thanks a lot and keep on truckin'
love to see DBT but don't
love to see DBT but don't think it will happen this year. plans are for JITD if it happens and also The Grateful Dread in april
more ravings about my website
sorry to keep plugging my website jambandseurope.com but ...i invite anyone interested to sign up for our email newsletter the monthly jam. basically at the beginning of each month i send out an email with as complete a list as possible fo relevant shows here in europe for the coming month, both european bands and american bands. i also include links to all the free downloads i have culled through other websites and/or newsletters.
at the same time, please let me know if there are jamband radio programs, websites/blogs, and or jambands/dead cover bands here in europe that i have missed and need to be on the site. finally, feel free to send me anything that you think should be or would like to have posted, announcements about upcoming deadhead gatherings, reviews of concerts or CDs, etc..
thanks a lot.
THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS
all of you brits got a treat coming your way.The New Mastersounds are playing a one off gig at Band on the Wall in Manchester on December 18th. It's nothing like the dead, but a lot like the Meters (in fact they are playing Halloween in NOLA as the backing band for Art Neville). Although they're from Leeds, they almost never play in Europe, too busy playing just about every club and every major jamband festival in the u.s. (in fact the guitarist apparently has relocated to the U.S.). They played JITD here last year and in January they're playing i think their third JamCruise.
Enjoy.
if I were the cruising type
I'd definitely have this Jam Cruise on my short list. Very nice lineup.
jam in the dam
jamcruise would be awesome, but a bit out of my budget this year. doea anyone know what's happening with Jam In The Dam for spring 2011? will it happen?
jam in the dam
still no word on jam in the dam for 2011 - - i don't hink it's going to happen, but keeping my fingers crossed!
Jack Straw in Holland
lets ask armand
wow. somebody is far away from wichita!just fired off an email to Armand Sandler, maybe we'll get a response and clear up the doubts. although i imagine that they rely heavily on u.s. fans coming across, and with the weak dollar and high unemployment ... (although that hasn't seemed to hurt jma cruise or the mayan holidaze or any of the other similar packages).
your first show was merriweather 1984? i lived about a mile away from merriweather all my youth. saw my first dead show there in 1985.
JITD continued
Armand has promised me a press release by tomorrow. no word on whether its good news or bad news yet. i'm on the road tomorrow so not sure how soon i can post it. although i'm sure it will appear on all the usual websites..jambands.com, jambase.com, etc..keep those fingers crossed
jam in the dam
Hey Bro Esau,I am a long way from Wichita!
Total bummer that it's a no - go for 2011....
Jack Straw in Holland
might as well
looking forward to JITD 2012. in the meantime i'm working on some other stuff which hopefully will pleae deadheads here in europe, and including holland
how bout Germany?
Esau, if you are including Holland?**********************************

the grateful dread
yes, for germany too.the project i am working on right now is to bring The Grateful Dread (dead tunes with a reggae groove) www.thegratefuldread.com to europe in april. we already have them booked for friday april 22nd at Muzikcentrium De Bosuil (Weert, Netherlands) and sunday, april 24th at Big Mama (Miltenberg, Germany near Frankfurt) and talking with a lot of other places. any help would be appreciated, if anyone has personal contacts with club owners and/or can recommend particularly suitable clubs (ideally with a capacity of 250 to 400 people), please send me a message.
also, for spanish jamband fans the new mastersounds will probably tour spain in february, if you like the meters you'll love these guys.
