    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject
    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject says "Roseland Confirmation". Body of email is sparse. Venue instructions, time and location of show, and my name in bold print. Has a link at the bottom for Dead.net complete contest rules.BTW, I sent GDTSTOO a rather direct email about an hour ago telling them what I thought about the whole shebang.

    Confusion about "Guest" - Help Dead.net, need some clarity (^_^)
    I am a winner for Roseland and I did not see any place on my entry form to enter in the name of a guest. My winning email clearly states that "I have been selected to receive (2) tickets" but I do then also see on the email that it says, "The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." And, my winning email has my name as BOTH the Winner and the Guest! Myself (Winner) and my guest are driving from very far tomorrow for the show, so we hope to get some clarity on this here in the next 12 hours before we hit the road! Boy this is confusing!!! I am praying that this is like how they did it when Phish played at the Filmore and you simply need to show up at the door with your guest (whoever it is) and if your name is on the list (as the winner) for 2 tickets it gets you both in. If someone from Dead.net gets this with any affirmation or clarity on this you can email me a response directly at antonio@dailypassion.com See you on the dance floor! (^_^)

    Further evidence that the latter part of the email related to the sweepstake entry on Friday from 6-9 is because this is what the entry form asked for, which is in the fine print of your email: Entrant's First Name Entrant's Last Name Entrant's Email address First Name of Entrant's Guest Last Name of Entrant's Guest

    This is the email I got. The top portion clearly does not sound like a sweepstakes entry. I took it that I had won. I figured the bottom portion of the email related to the initial entry into the sweepstakes from 6-9pm on Friday. When I get an email stating "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event", I take it to mean "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event".

    O.K. Here is the original e-mail I received from GDTS
    In the subject line: The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected Hello, You have been selected for the GDTS TOO allotment of tickets for The Dead's performance at the Roseland Ballroom on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:00 PM. The intention of this small venue show is to provide an opportunity for fans to see The Dead in an intimate setting for free. Here's the deal.... You must respond to this email by Saturday, March 28 at high noon! Do not phone or email with any questions or you will be disqualified! This offer is non transferable, it is for you only! You and your guest must have a photo ID for entrance into the show. 2 tickets per person limit No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concertgoers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation. Once confirmed you will be allowed entrance into the concert. To avoid long lines; you are strongly encouraged to arrive early. You must enter the venue upon arrival and there are no in/out privileges. Please return this email with an "accept" or "decline" in the subject box. Again, this email must be returned by Saturday at High Noon. I responded "accept" and that was the last I heard from them.

I don't recall seeing many opening acts for the Grateful Dead shows I went to but I did see New Riders at my first show at the Hollywood Bowl 1972, and I also saw Maria Muldaur (!) at the UC Santa Barbara soccer stadium...circa 'Midnight at the Oasis'. I'm fine with no opening act at all but if they had one, I'd like to see one of the newer bands like, as already mentioned, Yonder, Keller Williams (solo or with Moseley, Droll & Sipe), New Monsoon. I also really like Tea Leaf Green, Railroad Earth as good fits, too. I saw The Dead in both their 2003 and 2004 shows in Irvine and while it clearly wasn't the same as a Grateful Dead show, it was great to be part of the vibe and the whole Shakedown street scene again. IMO, the prices are in line with what I would expect to pay at an arena concert and, as previously mentioned, there is no fan club to pay to join to get access to presale tix. I think the online presale was a little shaky and I do feel lucky to have soem loge seats for the Forum show in LA. I'm enjoying reading all the comments on this topic and I have no problem with people speaking their minds as long as it doesn't devlove into personal attacks. I'm totally psyched for the 5/9 show at the Forum and hope to see some of you guys at the show.

Where does one exit the light rail train for the hike to Pepsi Center? I'll be travelling north from the I-25/Colorado Blvd station. Is there a downtown microbeer pub crawl to do along the way? I'm crazy about Great Divide Hercules. Openner: jam into Feel Like a Stranger. Call that one in, will ya cc?

You can take the light rail pretty close to the Can (Pepsi Center), however I would walk down the 16th St. Mall you can follow it all the way to the Pepsi Center and there are microbrews like the Wynkoop and Breckenridge Brewery along the way. There are many others I just can't think of the name of them right off hand. Also in lower downtown there are many places to eat and drink and that is usually where the partying takes place. You shouldn't have too much problem finding a Great Divide brew :-) "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, 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"

Someone asked about the scalping laws. It varies state to state. Here in Florida it's legal to scalp and has been for a few years. Thank (who else?) a Bush: http://www.sptimes.com/2006/05/12/Columns/Lesson_in_Florida_s_s.shtml (if the link is dead, google "Florida scalping laws") And I'm psyched about Warren. I've seen him with the ABB and Govt. Mule many times. There are few guitarists these days capable of the intricate yet defined noodling -and- jamming who can meld it and get it -just right.- While no one will ever replace Jer's tasty licks, Warren can hang just fine. The economy being what it is, it did not come as a shock today when I learned the ax is falling on my day job in about 90 days. Let's see . . . 90 days takes me into the first week of the tour so my heart's not exactly breaking with this deal that's going down. The boss is going to have to deal with me cutting out after 84 days, though. The original plan was to catch Greensboro, come back for a week, take my vacation and catch up with the tour in Pa. However, now I don't have to return after Greensboro so I'll be looking to pull a rabbit out of a hat for additional tix for Charlottesville, DC, NY and Mass. Look for the Fla. plates and stop and introduce yourself. See you all on Shakedown Street. Much love and good vibes to all!

Feel Like a Stranger opening in Denver?? I'll check with the west coast bookies, but I really don't 'feel' it, ted. Alabama Getaway is at the top of the line for that city from my Denver source, Lewie "the sewar" but anyways, Denver, you may know, (like LA) is an "open" city, so the rackets aren't as contolled as the more traditional places and the odds are all over the place. as you know all too well, half of my life has been spent 'calling the tune' the other half??? hosting an ill-fated, poorly rated game show... sigh.

I'd like to see Mark Karan play with the Dead.He's got the sweetest Jerry guitar vibe IMHO, but if that's not in the cards, then his own band (when he's not playing with Ratdog), Jemimah Puddleduck, would be a good opener... Peace, Bearly

Reading some posts about opening acts made me think back... I remember a show at UMASS sometime in the mid 70's where Patti Smith opened (that was different). Also, I caught the Nov. 2nd PAF Nokia show (brought my 14 year old son, his first) where they went from "the eleven" into "the elevator". I want to hear any of my old favorites, but I wouldn't mind melding in something new like that.

It would be awsome if they would play the eleven. I think it would be interesting for a dark star>china cat>the eleven. And maybe a days between in there somewhere.

I've always thought of a train horn at the beginning of China Cat and then again right after the first "I wish I was a headlight on a north bound train"... would be very cool... Like an old narrow gauge engine horn. I guess ever since '92 when during drumz they blew the really loud modern horn. Kinda silly but it would work. Oh and birds singing at the beginning of bird song. I think they did that at some point but I can't find the show... Anyone know?

I'll be in Greensboro for the first note of the tour, I'm thinking Jack Straw. Bobby opened up with it at Wanee Fest last year. Here's hoping anyway. For any newheads, remember to come early and stay late. See you at Shakedown street. ________________________________________________ "we can share what we got of yours, 'cause we done shared all of mine"

That would be perfect. Ratdog did an Estimated Profit in Ft. Myers, Fl in the second set that blew me away.

That would be a first I think. Never happened with the GD. Almost always set 2 stuff, and usually either the launching pad or countdown into space. Oh, and Chinat Cat>Eleven might be a rough transition, unless they drop Eleven in during the key change in China Cat which would work pretty much seamlessly, and offers the same graceful return for the third verse. Actually, that's a really cool idea. Think I'll try that out! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

They have darkstar-china cat-the eleven on the 1st box set of the grateful dead. Its very rare 2 find that combanation though. For that matter its hard to find the eleven on alot of shows. Oh, and Bonehead Tom, I think your right, I dont think Ive ever heard Estimated Profit as an opener for any show. Estimated Profit into Eyes Of The World would be interesting too.

for the folks bringing the real little kiddies: someone mention an 18 month olld? anyways, kids have always been part of the scene. you may want to: pack lots of extra snacks -- you do not wanna have to go to the concession stannd during Dark Star, do you? pack some kiddie drinks, gotta be in 'sealed' plastic bottles though. an extra sweatshirt or something in case they get chilly AND ear plugs. while this ain't gonna be no wall of sound, they are still pretty loud. my hearing got all fu8cked up in my youngin years on the road, and I'm half deef now because of it... SERIOUSLY, no joke that. peace.

ok about them ear plugs, you can get those gel types, which form into the shape of the kids ears, quite good actuially. this is no wall of sound, but as a youngin' my own hearing was seriously damaged by loud rock and roll concerts. half deef now, because of it. no joke. not sure about the venue you were talking about, but SOMETIMES places let kids congregate in the wheel chair areas (if they have those places at all) depending on how strict they are with people going where their tix say they should be. AND, hey, haven't been to many of these venues for years... how is the security scene INSIDE?? (don't get me started on stories of nightmares outside of Brenden Byrne from the 80's) many of the 2004 Dead tour places, Tweeter, the other one in NJ, etc. were a nightmare; with asshole security Nazis literally slapping bones out of people's hands and threatining to have them kicked out if they sparked up again. peace.

The security scene at the Penn show wasn't to bad, the only thing i saw that they didn't care for to much was cameras inside the show. We had floore seats and had no issues with security about people fireing it up.They had outside smokers pitts too, witch grew crowded fast. As for security in the parking lot, there really wasn't a whole lot. Just remember to try to keep the parking lot respectable (broken bottles, trash, etc.)For the most part, security wasn't bad at all. Phatmoye
