Grateful Dead

No, by all means all information is welcomed! As I stated I just guessed their cut……now that you say 25% I would say that sounds more like it, being most big business usually net from 10-15% on gross sales after all is said and done. I was just trying to understand what everyone is so upset about…….. when it’s not like each guy is taking home 10’s of millions on the tour. Thanks for the info………..see you at the shows

Wow 100 bucks is expensive at least for the working man..oh well I saw the Grateful Dead...I am gonna pass on the Dead...Anyway Donna sounds terrible why does everyone hype her up so much..............I saw a few posts asking why Jimmy Herring isn't playing....Hmmmmm maybe he found a real band......Who are actually in it for their fans!!!Sorry but Panic with Herring is all that and a box of cheese Peace

-- Tom Kelly always,,, not fadeaway...... regarding tickets..and prices,, I just read that fleetwood mac canceled there gig up in albany,, sales are slow for nassau,, believe they were charging 135 or so a shot,,Im not happy with the dead hitting the century mark for tix,, but it is what it is,, Im sure things will be done top shelf,, sound , lighting..hope for video screens.. some of the venues are selling back stage tix.. at around 50 so at least you can get in,, I some how was lucky enough to secure tix for msg. and nassau through pre sale.. after reading some horror stories, I feel like we hit Lotto... the boys will be out to give us all a good time,, if new years was an indication,, things should be hot...Id like to see Donna jean jump on board for this tour.. she would be a welcome voice,, saw her this summer past with the triksters she was on!! Donna also sat in with Mickeys band they made some sweeet music... anyway its all good.. so cool to be talkin up the band again...peace...

ahhh, kicking back with my warm bevvie, watching the sun come up, thought I wuold perusethe tour page, and what did I find? Literally the most engaging, raw interchange of frustration, talking with no listening, farting in to the wind, and then the mountains of men and women that live on this site, guiding, directing, instructing, ducking out (cc-i know your gona read this), ducking back in, and in general taking on the heat, and trying to make it all come out of its vicious hippie downward spiral, while allowing heads to cool, I must say, this is by far the most inspirational example of good deadheadism I have ever seen. You guys know who you are, I aint gonna list you all, but way to f^%*^%&^king go guys. You have made me very proud to be a deadhead, by your willingness to stand in the fre, and try to cool things down. so proud to be a dead head this mornig. i might even CONSIDER going to a show now, just to see if I can meet some of yuo. you guys are f%^&^king awesome! Back to your regularly scheduled musical interlude. i'm out into the frozen tudra..f.i.

Check out the obama benefit show, Full of energy and songs are jamed out pretty long. Very nice Dark Star. If its a sign of whats to be of this tour then it def. wont be a let down http://bt.etree.org/?searches=&cat=11

<< Peace see ya at the show, I'll be the one dancin!>> I'll be the one with the aching legs limping back to my car after the show. ;-) Peace, Bearly

dudes, of course curiosity killed the ccAT... so I had to take a peek back here; ( -; but I'll be spinning spinning spinn' free and talking about the tour in a +++++++++++ positive way over there. thanks for the kindess, love and peace.

I supposed a hundred bucks is reasonable.... if there is the expectation for greatness, but I am having a hard time anticipating that. For all intents and purposes, other than the initial Other Ones tour after Jer checked out, the shows seem very under-rehearsed, tentative and downright haphazard. The Phil and Friends shows have always seemed far more exploratory and interesting. Ratdog? Next! Mickey? Moments of magic. So call me the wet blanket, but this fan for 37 years will pass on this one. The loveable, friendly Warren Haynes does zip in jacking up any excitement. His approach is too gritty and the melodic sense is not in the same ballpark as many other players, so that sealed the deal for not going. But good luck, I hope the fans and band have some great shows and that I am totally wrong. But the combination of money grubbing and unrealized musical experiences are keeping me away this run.

I guess you can't post links because the one that's supposed to be in my last post didn't show up so just google "George Carlin on voting."
