    back on the bus!
    wannadanceWanaka, New Zealand We are Everywhere! Experiencing a moment of nostalgia for dirty danced out feet yesterday, I googled deadheads in New Zealand. I was just sure I was the only one. Whenever I speak of my touring days, people here think I'm talking about being a groupie or heavy metal. Then, I really confuse them by putting on some bluegrass! I was so excited to find this forum, I stayed up way too late reading the entire thing and posting some overly enthusiastic private messages. I obviously don't get out much! Oh, and how is Owsley doing? I heard a few years ago that he was in hospital. The last time I saw him was in S.F. at the Fillmore West, Trey from Phish was playing with the boys from the Dead and Owsley was working at the Rex table. He looked strong as an ox, so I'm hoping that he recovered well from whatever ailment he was suffering. I still wear my belt with pride, after all these years.... Being a transplanted american with a kiwi husband, I don't really know much about the jam band music scene here. The babies, garden, and animals keep me happily close to home, too. My days of traveling great distances to satiate my music cravings are on hold (It's such a long long way), but I could be persuaded to see some live music, if I knew of a band worth seeing that came close enough. I've been here 3 years, now and I love NZ, but I miss dancing with my posse. I'd love to "trade tapes" or download some music. Your Melbourne group meetings sound like fun. If any of y'all are tempted to roam this way to ski or anything, I'd relish the opportunity to show you some great southern hospitality! Forever grateful

    I purchased View from the Vault III & IV and love watching these. Very Nostalgic and of great quality. Also love to stream the soundboards from the Internet Archive: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3AGratefulDead%20%2F… There were definitely some great concerts that were circulated on tapes, so be sure to check out: Barton Hall Ithaca May 8, 1977 Capitol Theater Portchester, NY February 18, 1971 Dane County February 15, 1973 Ice Cream Kid

    Hey Now,No more crap from the peanut gallery. I'm sure that a world tour would include a stop in Australia if not NZ. Just as sure thousands would turn out and as a result sales of music and merchandise would go up. It would be a smart move on the part of The Dead if they were in the mood for a little traveling Aiko-aiko w/shrimp or tempe on the barbie!

    A bunch more - thousands upon thousands - would front up should anyone bother to tour here, and certainly a bunch more than "our" little and rather unrepresentative diehard club. Oh well, I guess I'll just continue to disappear up my own arse-full of old hillbilly boogie rekkids! :)

    Well, 12 in your little club hardly warrants a tour in Australia or NZ by any GD family band does it now. Ssheessh. The temerity of some people.

99.9 The Bay fm in Australia rocks out! Contemporary and Aboriginal music, plus a kick ass Grateful Dead show. What’s not to love.
“Listen to the River” looks great. 1971 is possibly my favorite year . Will have to wait for my old fart social security check in a couple weeks to order. Beans & rice , rice & beans, and a victory garden. Apricot trees (in town) , pick, dry and store.
Several weeks w/o ganga. I think the THC is still kicking in from what little fatty tissue i have on me and from all the smoked phatties from all the years combined.
Phatty Patrol wasn’t just the destination, it was the journey & adventure.

Champagne lifestyle on a near beer budget. Mesquite beans are almost ready also. Wild fruit trees. Bulk food order. Walk as much as I can. Keep from driving as many days in a row as possible.
Baby boomer retirement.
Enjoying the Australian based Grateful Dead radio show, Long Strange Trip. (Bay FM 99.9 Byron Bay) Contrary to some folks notions, radio is not dead. Streaming stations from around the world is an amazing way to get a glimpse, feeling, idea of what’s goin’ on. I really dig stations from Peru,Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Jamaica, Canada (Nunavut) and down under. Add in Tribal radio stations from around the U.S. As i live off the grid in the “outback” of the great Southwest this keeps me tuned in.
