Have to agree

I've only seen them 3 times so far, 2/12/10, 7/11/10 and 4/1/11, but each time they are getting better and better, both musically and with the "surprise" factor!

"New" tunes!

Isn't everyone excited about all the tunes they've added to their repertoire this year? I have to admit that by our November show last year ,we were hearing all songs we've heard them (Furthur) do before. And don't get me wrong, I will gladly listen to Bertha/Scarlet/Fire/Chinacat/Rider as many times as you will play them for me. But I was so excited to hear so many songs that I had never heard live before on this year's tour, such as St Stephen/Crazy Fingers/ Morning Dew/Help/Slip/Franklin. To think that I can now realistically hope for an Iko and a Mexicali this summer, well this is the stuff that dreams are made of:)

Furthur

Gotta say the boys & girl (SSGB) are sounding great lately. Went to see them in Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago, and was blown away.. They're reaching way back into their catalog....Caution, Alligator, etc. You will leave a happy camper, especially on their home turf.....hey..that gives me an idea...gotta go check airfare to SFO...peace, SW

Got the same solicitation in my e-mail

Gotta say that the DOB request stopped me cold as well, and I did as Mary said, nothing.But on a more positive note, we got GREAT tix from the pre-sale for Mansfield, and we're as happy as can be about that!

well...

all you absolutely have to do, as I read this, is nothing. You can confirm your email address, which makes sense for purposes of staying on an email list. Giving personal information is an OR, not an AND. So while I'm certainly no fan of data mining either I'm not quite seeing the sinister subtext here. It seems quite avoidable. Unlike all too many of those well-meaning online petitions, for example.

what is JK up to?

Anybody know why JK is soliciting private information? I go the following information this morning: "You are receiving this message because John Kadlecik added you as a contact. I recently started using ReverbNation's FanReach system as my email provider. They hate unsolicited email and I do too, so we're sending out this courtesy re-confirmation email. You don't need to do anything to remain on the list. Thanks! -John Kadlecik" Your options: Confirm my email so that I will be eligible for any exclusives from John Kadlecik Do nothing and remain on the John Kadlecik mailing list. Unsubscribe from this list Report Spam or Abuse" Hit the link and all these field pop up...... Confirm Your Email Address - OR - Required Info *Birthdate: (example: 01/24/1989) Optional Info By filling in the form, John Kadlecik will be better able to email you with more relevant info (like shows in your area). This information will only be available to John Kadlecik for their use (for more info see Privacy Policy). First Name: Last Name: Zip/Post Code: Country: no zip code? Gender: Male Female I am interested in becoming a Street Team Member. Street Teams are made up of fan volunteers that assist bands with promotion (pestering, handing out flyers, etc.). Clicking this box will allow John Kadlecik to email you about Street Team opportunities, but does not commit you to anything." For the record, I like JK as the lead in Furthur but I'm not about to give him personal information about myself. I know, I know, it's all probably legit to building his fan base but I'm not giving him my personal information because of phishing risks. I notice Bob, Phil and the rest of the band don't feel the need for this....

Furthur was exploring new galaxies in mysoul with me last night. I heard the second set and the universe was shrunk to the size of a pin head and at that I jumped in to the abyss of what going forward entails. The house is filled with roses. God Bless the Streamer...maybe they will be there for tonight's show. To Furthur: You all are so talented and make this music so amazingly! I love hearing all the present day and traditionally-styled soul-speaking, mind-bending, infinite- emotion with hot-booty-shaking rock-n-roll. It's the Some of Best Music in the World ! Rock On and Keep On Smiling, xo! You've carried me and that's priceless. I needed to say thanks a trillion, xo! You all have filled my Dad's home with best that was so excellent, everything was excellent. He thought your music was great! So, thanks another trillion for making him so happy. I would dance whilest doing chores and such. His love will be everlasting and could only wish you all the very best of everything for you all. He thought the Grateful Dead was one of the Greatest Bands of All Time! We are inseparable, with in so many Dead songs (Arrrooooooo!) May every good wish be at your feet or perfectly at the tip of your nose....you'll have to look twice to acknowledge it. More love soon... and don't forget, I love you, ALL, xo~~~~ -----------------------------(-------@ the rose scent....

Busy night on SiriusXM

Flipping from Little Feat to Widespread to Furthur.... Happy New Year !!!

Furthur at the Sweetwater

The Friday night show (1/18) will be streaming live.

Sweetwater shows this weekend will be streaming online...

Heads up from the good folks at Sweetwater Music Hall: NEWS FLASH! We learned last week that TRI Studios will be webcasting the Friday night Furthur show via Yahoo! Music and now...the other 3 nights will be streamed live (FREE) on the Sweetwater website! Pass it on!

Sweetwater Furthur Wednesday

Wow, really great seeing the boys all bunched up on that little stage. Very nice webcast. The first song i caught was the Deal. Then Bobby crooning Black-Throated Wind. Gotta love it. There definitely is a difference with them in close proximity, at least to my ears. Check them out if you have the notion.

High Time

With the right kind of eyes you can almost remember where that high, sweet wave broke... I am luvvin' this...

Sweetwater, Night One

Here's a link to video of the first set from last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYZd3iwcZOY

Sweetwater!

Big fun at the new Sweetwater last night with Furthur. It was great seeing them in such a small venue - capacity is only 313! I don't think anyone was more than 50 feet from the low stage. Kinda felt like I was back at the Keystone in Berkeley during the JGB days, except the Sweetwater is cleaner with a better sound system. Although I did like the free popcorn at the Keystone! The show was on the mellow side for the most part. The vibe in the room was palpably joyful, everyone having a real good time. Phil had a big smile on his face most of the night, John seemed to be enjoying his solos. Nice "kumbaya" moments, especially during "I Know You Rider," when the whole crowd pretty much took over the lead vocals. Looking forward to the streams for the next three shows.

@-------)----------------------------------------------

The Sweetwater Show was Super! I haven't the sentences I wish for so... just don't forget, xo.

Sweetwater Furthur Thursday

Lots of nice jamming tonight. Mind boggling tangent on Doin' That Rag. Really nice. This night brings me moments of missing Jerry (as all Furthur shows do). The ineffable non-presence of the spoon that stirred the pot. Still I am grateful for this -- rolling into Watchtower from Stagger Lee now. Enjoy!

Sweetwater site overoaded

THANK YOU ALL! For all the all of it all. It's been so endearing for me, I didn't dance much this time around but laying on the speakers made for permanent contentment. That's plenty for me. May lovingkindness and good fortune be ever returning to you, all, xo. What goes around does come around, so enjoy it. Back of my memory is still troubling me but this has helped me so much and the miracles of tomorrow are at my door...today. I love you, ALL, xo.

Sweetwater afterglow

What a wonderful run of shows at the Sweetwater! The folks in the band played and sang their hearts out. It was an absolute treat to see and hear them play in such an intimate and friendly venue. Leaving the building after the show, I experienced the same sense of satisfaction and wonder that I used to feel exiting Winterland, Kaiser, the Greek, etc. I am truly grateful that Phil and Bobby have assembled the talent to continue bringing us all the sweet music that has been branded onto our DNA for decades now. To the Furthur naysayers out there: you're missing something special, because the MUSIC never stopped.

Second that Emotion

Bolo! This was different than playing in front of 10k varied people. So many thanks to the band for letting us all in on it!

Canada

is there anyone out there that can tell me why Canada is ignored year after year by these guys. As a head that can't tour, i'm cryin up here. A couple shows in T.O once in a while wouldn't kill anybody would it?

Takin' us Furthur

I must concur all folks out there that haven't seen Furthur in the past three years are missin' out. I've seen nearly every new incarnation - The Dead - Phil & Friends- RatDog... and to my mind this is the one that gets me to the closest I've been to what Jerry once described as "Little Golden yummies that last for moments on end" or something to that affect. It's that thing that comity and conne ction,,The spiritual Big O that kept us all addicted to the Show! I'm jonesin' just thinking about it.We here in the South feel a bit gipped at times. Hope to see some FL. and Atl. shows on the summer sched. Till then I'll have to be content to see Warren and the Bros at Wanee next month. Also NMA, Galactic...

In my opinion, this night was so special, great setlist. Kadlecik was kicking on his new kustom guitar,a real beauty. His vocals on "Reuben and Cherise" were out of this world. "Built to last" done real well. Kadlecik was kind of taking over this night when Bobby was kind of in his own world. I think I had better get a CD of this Show. How good are the CDs done by the company that records them and sells them on the Furthur website? Jim

Meadowbrook Pavillion, Guilford NH

After checking Furthur's web page this morning and seeing that the summer tour will be going as scheduled I bought my ticket for Meadowbrook Amphitheatre. If you are going to this show you should know that they've changed policies and that it costs money to park: $5 to choke in the dust on the pavement $20 for premium parking on the grass $40 for VIP parking I opted for lawn seats and premium parking. The only good thing I can say is that it only costs $1.50 for total service charges that get you hard tickets mailed to you. Once again hoping that Bob has a good rest during his time off and is back on his game this summer!

Shows added

At Interlocken in September must bode well for Bob's recovery. Lets hope so.

Hey now! Talking about trips... Help get the message out, if you can. Furthur is bound for Cooperstown, NY... This Upstate NY Venue just miles from where the severe flooding occurred. The amount of debris and household waste is tremendous, folks are exhausted too. Please if you can- sher this: Please take your trash with you when you leave, plan smart for recycling and minimal waste. I am praying with great supplication that the Historic and Excellent town of Cooperstown shall not suffer our arrival or departure. It's so special and it's kept clean and quaint and a true it's heritage. It's all about Baseball and the perfect embrace of entertaining ourselves with this things we love best. Thanks in advance if you sher this. I am always proud of music but not the mess and these communities have been hit really hard. Love one another... XO

--------------------(-----@

Oh and,yeah... Check for detours, most are only a few miles others more lengthy. No worries a detour can and will get you there. Get a fill up for gas about 30 miles outside Cooperstown as it will be difficult to gas in the town of Cooperstown; you will be glad you did, xo (love you, all) Cooperstown is not a city and a small town, to be sure. Get a parking spot where ever you can and wear walking shoes. Stop in Schildman's Bakery for a baked-perfect treat, if you can. Go early and tour... The Baseball Hall of Fame, it's awesome and air-conditioned- No place like it in the World! Enjoy a beer at the pub and wet yer whistle; the beers always cold. Everything is beautiful in Cooperstown. The pier has a big lawn for hanging out. Stagecoach Coffee House is one of my most favorite places to go when I am there. When my John would receive medical treatment at Bassett Hospital we would go there and it is the best. Old fashioned and serene, this place takes the world away. Pastries and sandwiches delicious, get one for after the show. Cooperstown is one of my Favorite places, to be sure. I love you, all, xo!

have a good show at Meadowbrook!

Had to sell my ticket to go to the other side of the planet.

--------------------(-----@

Great set of set-lists! I just heard that last night achieved some kinda cosmic lift off. Sweet words indeed! Rock ON Furthur! Love to you-all, xo! -------------(-----@

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! "...more than words can tell..."

Furthurs Hiatus and Remaining Dates

Furthur has announced it's 2014 hiatus and Phil has just stated that he is "Off the bus" after 48 years of touring. It seems while there is a chance of more Furthur shows in 2015 and beyond the great wheel of time (Kalachakra in Tibetan tantrism) is spinning. What really needs to be stated is a big Thank You! to Bob & Phil, Jeff & JK and the rest of the crew for the incredible # of shows they did in almost 5 years! On the Internet Archive there are 1050 shows listed (some of those are multiple recordings for the same date). 4,743,365 shows have been downloaded from Archive. I believe all should acknowledge that this is a pretty formidable and prodigious amount of music for the remaining members of the band in their sixties and seventies. Really a remarkable body of work for folks who deserved to be in retirement. You might not have liked them for whatever reason. God knows I had some issues with who is singing whose song. But in the end you just have to step back and applaud and be grateful. The following dates are scheduled in 2014: 4 shows in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in mid-January. 1975 all over again? I don't think so, but who knows? Thank you Furthur, for a real good time!
