    This is what it's all about. The whole scene. Its so cool. The Tour. The pre-sale. The on-sale. How many shows? Who got what? How are we getting there? How many miles do we have to go? How are we going to pay for this? Who's the doo-dah man?.This is what makes up the Grateful Dead Vibe. Don't worry gather the Dead Vibe and it will do wonderful things. Beleive that there will be more shows and there will be. Beleive in more tix and there will be. Come on! What do you think? They're just gonna do 20 shows. This is just a warm up. In '03 they were only gonna get together (which was amazing enough)and do a few shows. And then, do a little tour. And then, look what happened. In '04 they played 40 shows jammed in between Allmans and Gov't Mule tours. Even though we like Warren, he is not the only one who can jam with the Dead. I'm sure theyre are a few "other ones" out there. No matter what it's always cool. plus Jerry is always watching. Hey, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Summertime done come and gone, my oh my. "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

some sort of "official" announcement about these allegedly available tickets? Not to mention the usurious pricing... Sure would be nice to hear that there really isn't anything shaking on those shakedown sites. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

who are BETTING that they can get people to jump on the prospect of early sales of 'tickets yet to be announced' when they have no such ticket in hand. It is illegal to scalp outside any venue, but there are no rules/laws against this kind of shell game by people who make a living off of scalping 'online'. A no-no for the little guy to do, but when there is a business that is doing it, then it is OK? I don't get it. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

I'm a little surprised (but pleased, just 40 miles away!) with the Greensboro opener. Ratdog didn't come close to selling out the War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro last fall, and P+F/ABB didn't sell out Verizon Wireless in Charlotte a few weeks prior. For that matter, Springsteen didn't sell out the Greensboro Coliseum last spring either. I was afraid that the tour wouldn't come close to NC, but here it is in my back yard. Happy New Year!

Relax maybeyouknow :) Seriously just follow the instructions on dead.net and you will get a shot a tickets early before the public on sale (the pre-sale). If you miss out on the pre sale you can try again during public sale. As for the price, there is no way the tickets will be that expensive. Come on people calm down!! I agree it is a little stressful, I want to see them too. "I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines. Come to daddy on an inside straight, well I've got no chance of losing this time"

I am very excited about this tour. I'm a big Warren Haynes fan and think he is going to be great with the guys. In fact Warren turned me onto the GD music. I only went to one show in 04 and this tour I hope to get to at least 6 shows. Can't wait.

This is unreal. As a 17 year old who never saw the grateful Dead, I am beyond happy. I saw Phil and Friends about two months ago though. I plan on going to at least 7 shows. This is a dream come true!

For the record...relax :-) In '04 I was getting tickets for less than face value. This is not Phish at Hampton, folks. Here is the fine print from the ticket website with actual seat listings: "Some ticket listings on SITE may only be representations of available tickets and not actual seat locations or currently available tickets. Occasionally tickets ordered may no longer be available at the price or in the quantity originally ordered at the time the order is received. If equivalent or better seat locations are available at the same price, and USER has selected to be automatically upgraded, the FULFILLER or SITE may fill the order with the alternative seat locations for USER. If USER has not selected to be automatically upgraded, a representative from the FULFILLER, or the SITE, may contact USER to discuss alternative seat locations." I don't know if there is a way to have season tickets to every event in an arena but I guess that's the other possibility...but I would never, ever buy from a site like the one that's listed tix for $400+ ...LOL... Just do the mail order or pre-sale and have fun!

I agree! In this day and age there are services out there where you can pick the exact seats you want. It probably costs $400 to reserve such seats. It sounds to me like a lot people here have not purchased tickets to a concert since the last time the Grateful Dead toured back in the 90's! :-) "I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

Well for me seats don't matter just as long as I'm in the door. Usually can't stop moving anyway and is always cool to go up to the nosebleeds and look down at the sea of madness. Sat front row center once in Hartford, CT right in front of Bobby and yes the man spits and Mickey never smiled once very serious the whole time was really an experience though nothing in front of you but the band. paid $80 for that ticket back in 88 was the most I ever paid but was well worth it. Still had to roam around then gave my stub to a friend to check it out for a few tunes. aaaa such fine memories. hand me my ole guitar, pass the whiskey round.

I would bet money there is a summer tour, maybe in a festival context, but I have a feeling that it will be the south and west only. I’ll take what I can get; there’s really no other place I rather see them (that takes more than 5000 people) than the Spectrum for old times sake, outdoors included. Really hopping it’s festival seating (no chairs on the floor), but I don’t expect it. Even the last few years with Jerry they put out those dammed chairs. Still remember using lighters to burn through the plastic chair connectors so we could fold them up and get some dancing room. The Spectrum one last time! Who would have thonk it!

With you on that one, almost all the outdoor shows I've seen had open area no chairs. but yes some venues put them out. i always loved Gen Adm shows the best. I'm hoping for summer tour as well but am so glad this is going to happen and Gathering of the Vibes is coming up in July just gotta keep the faith.

Festivals and the outdoor sheds in the summer. I'd bet something on it...not the farm. Well, since I don't have a farm, betting it wouldn't be such a stupid move. Maybe a little theatre tour in the fall? THAT's what I want to see...hate arenas.

Don't get wrong, jumping all around the country to see phil or bobby is a ton of fun but thank jerry the boys are back, I had a good feeling after the Penn State Obama show, the show was great, the lot was old school with a good fun & a kind vibe. I got the e-mail at three thirty in the morning on New years and everyone in my house thought I was having a freakin kinniption fit because i was so excited runnig around yelling. Thank Jerry for letting us have Warren again, now if we could just get him to become a permanet member of the dead, In my personal opioin and don't anyone get upset but he is the only guy that has some of the qualities not only musically but personally to fill those gigantic shoes. I miss Jerry just as much as anyone else but I think warren was great on the last tour and it seems like all the boys are on fire and ready to go. I can't wait to wait to get back on the road, I miss my friend and i miss the shows, festivals are just starting to get old as i get older. So pack The bus Boy & Girls cause the Dead are calling your name, HeLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YeaHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

1. There won't be many (or any) more shows than the ones they have announced. Warren is committed to Govt Mule and the Allmans. There will be a Phil/Ratdog tour in the summer. Not a Dead tour. So forget about all that. 2. Don't sweat the tickets for this tour. Above all else DON'T PANIC AND BUY SCALPER TICKETS. The demand for this tour will not be anywhere near the demand for Phish in Hampton, etc. Even though the Dead will probably be 100 times better than Phish. There will be PLENTY of tickets so relax. 3. This may be The Last Time to see them play together, so if you are old school, get out to a show, at least.

Just gotta raise the funds somehow and make the trek to Cali. If there is no summer tour, that means no chance of them hitting Willie Nelson's Picnic here in Texas. But I've done my grieving for Jerry and loved both Obama shows so I am ready to catch them for the first time since the late 80's. It'll be a nice way to see friends and family in Cali. What new adventures are waiting to be had? I just hope the shows don't sell out in Jan. Although this won't be as big as Phish (who I have yet to really take a liking to), I have a feeling people are jonesing for more Dead.
