    I think it is very cool of them to offer an upgrade and to give you a few days to come up with the cash. What more can you ask for?? "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

    so true about those Van tix...
    I have seen him dozens of times over the years, for which I am quite grateful, but I'm afraid his concerts and I parted company when they started costing 200 bucks.

    the dead, the allmans and the doobies at the gorge is 58 bucks thru mail order, how is it that these 3 bands can be on 1 ticket at 58 dollars, yet the dead's spring tour is going for over 100 dollars a ticket and it's just 1 band?? does the gorge hold more then say, MSG? (i got denied by gdts for MSG but never got that e mail, i would have gladly coughed up the extra cash for the higher priced tickets)

    at the Beacon. $350 for the best seats! Mymyheyhey-- the people at GDST are fine folks. They do a great job and don't BS. I am sure they had a very limited number of cheap seats. Sorry about your situation, but they will try their best to get you a decent seat. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

    Has anyone received their reserved seats from GDTSTOO for 5/10, or a returned money order if you didn't get seats? I'm thinking they would have mailed these by now, and haven't heard yet.... "Get back home where you belong and don't you run off no more"

    Mail order tix 4-18-09
    Read this BS emailed to me by GDTSTOO mail order. I was at the post office at 6AM and watched them received my letters. I can't believe that all the cheap seats went that same day. I feel so angry that I either cough up more cash for seats I don't want to pay for that probably still suck, or stay home! ohhhh..... and I almost didn't read the email because subject line read "4-18-09 upgrade!"........ We have received your Worcester order for The Dead on April 18, 2009, but we have run out of the lower price tickets. We do, however, have enough of the higher price tickets to fill your order. If you would like this option then please go to our website and press the credit card form link found on The Dead Spring Tour 2009, fill the form out and fax the form back to us at 415-868-9094. If you do not have a MasterCard or Visa and would like to mail in with a postal money order for the additional money then please let us know that this is your preference and we will set your order aside. The difference of the two ticket prices is $31.25 per ticket. No extra fees will be charged. If we do not hear from you by March 1, 2009 we will send your money order back. Thank you.

    those are excellent seats. i got row b in section 6 from GDTS. although they are bit further back than 1-4, they are still really close to the stage and in the middle. They are being offered for like 600 bucks on the after market (ie scalpers). see ya there. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

    It would be great if they did add a couple of more shows between 5/10 & 5/14. I would have to pinch my budget real hard to come w/ the extra scratch for those nights though. Then again I originally only had the budget for two nights and now it looks like its gonna be five. Plus Clapton/Winwood in June. Smile, Smile, Smile!

    Dead Banner at MSG
    No, the banner for the Grateful Dead is not a permanent one. They only break it out for a performance. As was stated earlier, the only music-related permanent banners are Billy Joel (12 show sold out stand) and Elton John (60 performances). To have a permanent banner (such as a retired jersey number) that forever hangs is the highest honor that the Garden bestows. But while the retired jerseys forever hang, it is not absolutely clear to me that the Billy Joel and Elton John Banners have that staus. I think they do, but I'm not sure. Currently they do hang for all Garden events, just as the retired jerseys do. I ordered one ticket from GDTS and got a pretty decent seat in row C of section 6 on the floor. Not the coveted sections 1,2,3,4, but good enough. I've seen many concerts at the Garden, but never on the floor. I'm looking foward to experiencing it, especially the sound quality, which I assume will be better on the floor than on the sides.

I'm just a chimp in Kentucky, so when I say "guessing they'll add Cali shows" it's not even a very educated guess. However, that's the end of the little tour, and they have several weeks before Bonnaroo (if they're even going, that's another guess). I expect with only two shows in Califorrnia those two shows will be packed full, deep and wide, and they wouldn't have any trouble selling out all the shows they want. It would be silly not to add shows, and SoCal would seem likely, assuming the guys' individual schedules allow it. Since Phil, Bob and Micki have toured through the spring and summer anyway the last few years I'd be surprised if (a) some shows didn't get added, and (b) there wasn't a summer tour on the festival circuit as well. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a jump over to Europe in the fall, either. It's been years, and they would certainly be welcomed. I'm sure the economics favor it. I'll keep my chimp fingers crossed for you li'l darlin's! Ook ook!

E!Online via Yahoo News (or vice versa) have an article on the tour now, with the headline "The Dead to Roam the Earth". My sister heard it on some radio news today, and called to make sure I knew (she's not a deadhead at all). I pretended not to already know when she said "they're going to be in Chicago, that's only a few hours away, you should go" - I've already googled up maps and expedia'd up plane tickets and hotels. Now, if I only had the cash... Come on, Powerball! ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

Hey Now, OklahomaKris! Vending, as always, will be a roll of the dice. Some places simply will try not to let that deal go down, others will turn the other cheek. Be vigilant, be safe, be lowkey but most important of all, enjoy the music. See you on Shakedown Street!

Well I may be out of work at the moment, but I'll figure a way to get to at least the Chicago show. Man if I had the $$$ to score tix for all shows, I'd do the whole run. Not sure if these old tied bones could hack a month on the road in the back of my car... But I'm thinking about it...! ;o)

Rise and shine, Eurodead! Get your gear together and let's hit the US road . . . if they're not meeting us here, let's meet them there. After all, they are THE BAND (dang, what a surprise, guess we are following them after all instead of vice versa--who knew?). No spring Jam in the Dam this year so guess the cash is gonna go to a rock reunion family Dead style. It really, truly doesn't matter what you wear . . .

Are you kidding me!?!?! Looks like Phil's tour manager wrote this tour up...I'm extrememly stoked that the boys are getting out, but c'mon. Another N.E. laden "national tour" makes many out here wanna vomit..... I'm hoping they announce some early summer shows for the West!

Be very cool to hear a first song, first show, Estimated Prophet to complete the lovely symbolic prankster message: "Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine"

I NOW LIVE IN CHILE AND HAVE LIVED HERE FOR OVER SIX YEARS. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IT IF THE BAND WOULD CONSIDER COMING DOWN HERE. YOU GUYS COULD PLAY HERE AS WELL IN ARGENTINA. I CANT REALLY SAY HOW MANY HEADS EXIST DOWN IN THESE PARTS, BUT THEN AGAIN I HAVENT EVER TAKEN A SURVIVE EITHER. I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE THAT WOULD DIG SEEING YOU GUYS AND ONE OF THEM IS DEFINITELY ME. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SCENE OF MUSIC LOVERS DOWN HERE BECAUSE I TALK TO THEM, PLUS ARGENTINA IS A BALLS OUT ROCK-N-ROLL COUNTRY SO YOU WOULD HAVE A GAS THERE AS WELL. THE LOVERS OF MUSIC DOWN HERE REALLY APPRECIATE WHEN MUSICIANS FROM OTHER PLACES OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AMERICA PLAY. WHEN PEARL JAM CAME HERE IT WAS THE SHIT. THE PEOPLE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE MUSIC AND I AM NOT EVEN MAKING A PUN ON WORDS. I KNOW AS MUSICIANS YOU WOULD REALLY FEEL THE LOVE WITH THE MUSIC LOVERS IN THESE PARTS. BOB DYLAN CAME DOWN HERE A FEW YEARS AGO, I AM SURE HE CAN CONTEST THAT IT WAS WORTH IT. ALSO YOU GUYS CAN CHECK OUT THE COUNTRY, IT HAS MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES TO SEE. "TORRE DEL PAYNE" WHICH IS A LOVELY PARK IN THE SOUTH AND IF YOU LIKE COOPER MINES, IN THE NORTH THE LARGEST OPEN FACED MINE IN THE WORLD IS HERE. DID I MENTION THE YUMMY FOOD-FORGET ABOUT, MAN IT'S THE BOMB AND NOT ONLY THAT THE PEOPLE LOVE TO MAKE IT FOR FOREGNIERS. I AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WOULD JUST LOVE IF YOU GUYS CAME HERE. IF YOU EVER WANT TO COME, PLEASE DO BECAUSE YOU WILL BE GLAD THAT YOU DID AND SO WILL WE. I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN SHORELINE IF ALL GOES WELL I WILL. YOUR MUSIC HAS ALWAYS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME AND I WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO AS MUSICIANS IS JUST GRAND. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. SINCERELY YOUR FRIEND, JOE

The press release states the band formed in Haight Ashbury in the mid 60's. I always thought they formed south of San Franscisco more around the Palo Alto area. Am I missing something or is the publicist? A little historical revisionism going on here; or do we know more than the person writing the release?

Just so folks know. Any tickets you see listed already are scalpers that are ASSUMING they will get tickets to sell. They just put up the listings. Then, in the fine print, they mention that they may not be able to get them. DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS! Just get your #10 envelopes together :-) (or do this new fangled "pre-sale" that is being listed...)

Have you all seriously never heard of a pre sale? It's nothing that special I am sure. They will release some tickets a few days/weeks before the rest are released to the public. If it is anything like other pre sales I have done, they will give you a promo code probably on this website that you plug into a field when you are purchasing the tickets online from whichever ticket broker they use (Ticketmaster). It shouldn't be anything more than that. I wonder if they are doing mail order?? Either way I imagine it is going to be rather difficult to get tickets especially to shows out west.
