    You are on the right path - get away from the bad and surround yourself with the good. This tour is going to rejuvenate a lot of people myself included and I cannot wait. I hope you can get yourself to a show or 2. Take care.. "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

    Chi-town B-o-b - I thought it was an interesting read. It's a popular game among the kids today and many of us have children in the family who find this game wildly attractive. This translates into a wonderful way of introducing the little tykes to the music. I know I'm not alone regarding my belief that many folks would rather hear the kid, grandkid, etc. jamming to the Grateful Dead than the stuff playing on the commercial radio stations today. I didn't say I agreed with their reviews. Please don't shoot the messenger. One man gathers what another man spills.

    hey guys, im a fellow lover of the grateness of the dead and i was turned on to the dead this past summer by an old dead head, who has followed these guys around almost all his life...i started hanging out with him, everyday a party you know, he taught me the dead ways, not that i didnt already know them myself, im what you might call a natural...lol...im a natural born hippie...product of my raising...i can find beauty with a sore eye, after my first concert in washington dc at the 930 club seeing dark star, the tribute band....i fell absolutely tee totally in love with them, their music, their words and the meanings behind them. i came home and started looking them up on youtube, and after a while became very familiar wtih all their songs...i love any music that has soul to it....this band is by far the best, and i only wish i could have seen jerry!! if i could go back in time, thats exactly where i'd go....when jerry was still alive and everyone was diggin the good tunes and good vibes...good souls, understanding people, the kind of people that make this world all the better to be apart of...i want to surround myself with peace loving wind breezin hippies, this past year has been rough for me and i've lost alot of confidence along the way, im ready to roll away the dew so that sweet winds can blow my way...im ready to forget my troubles and dance them away....im ready to let go of these negative people in my life and surround myself by good hearted free spirits, people like myself...i've suffered myself, by trying to help others come out of the shadows and into the light but in the end i realized i was being dragged into the dark, and drained of my energy, i used to carry the sun in my eyes and i want that feeling back....im a very sensitive but strong willed young lady and i desire most to go to atleast one show...im gonna follow my own path and ill go all to nothing to get there...im hoping i will meet alot of familiar souls...that i can connect with. This is me and this is what im about, not just the music, but whats behind the lines, sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees, but i know theres more to it than just the good tunes, its the waves of love and peaceful serenity, brotherhood, mind alternative people, who want the same things i want, i could go on and on about what could stand a change, but i wont, instead i wont worry about how to survive in the storm but instead how to dance in the rain. alot of nice things go bad out there, it sure is one big wild world!! There comes a point In ones life When you come to realize Who matters, who never did, who wont anymore, and who always will So dont worry about those people from the past Theres a reason why they did not make it to your future

    Re pre-sale mail order.
    Seems to me that the Boys should have booked more than one show at the Garden. The good news is that I am definitely seeing them at Nassau, while I have a 33% chance to be at the Garden show. All in all, I can't complain. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

    'Splaining the Dead
    ONCE upon a time there was a large population occupying a large hunk of land between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. All television and photography was in black and white because in fact black and white was all there was. Five magicians looked at this from their particular perspective near the Pacific Ocean and said, "Well, this is okay but it COULD be so much better..." With that they waved their magic music wands and suddenly the world became purple, yellow, aquamarine and even translucent. Refrigerators walked the earth and amoebas grew to the size of apes, while planes began to fly underground and moles burrowed through the air. Stars and planets reached out to shake the hands of the gobsmacked earthlings, and the cartwheel became the new ambling shuffle. This golden gleaming terrain-and-mind-enhancing music-magic continues to speel out and as of press time, it is difficult to imagine that it will ever stop.

    Mail Order Update
    I tried to post the email that I just received from GDTS Too regarding the status of mail order. I guess that it is too big, so here is a summary. With exception of MSG, Philadelphia (May 2), and Shoreline (reserved seats), everyone who requested tickets will get them. If you have a postmark for the first day of mail order, you have a 1 in 3 chance of tickets for MSG and Shoreline reserved. You have a 1 in 1.5 chance for Philadelphia on May 2. Here is the rest: "We are waiting for the last bit of mail postmarked the 13th to arrive before starting the ticketing process. Orders that we are unable to fill from MSG, Spectrum and Shoreline reserved will be will be returned before we start the ticketing process. Tickets will start going out in the next few weeks. Outlet on sale dates for this tour are listed on dead.net"

    MSG 4/25
    Ticketmaster sent me an e-mail (I signed for a NYC area Dead Show alert!) saying Hartford on sale 4/23- As far as I know MSG is Sat at 10 AM. I have a My Ticketmaster account and have not received any further info on MSG show. I was ready for pre sale but got skunked! I sent mail order and would like to know if they will come before spending more needed cash with T.M. on Sat. Any ideas? I can only go to MSG show. I miss that and miss chance for 5 decades of live Dead shows!

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.

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?

(4 for may 1st & 4 for May 2nd) Going up with some good heads. So im thinking to myself, why not just keep going and finish off the tour? Maybey sell some veggy burritos and other things in the parking lot. If anyone thinks its a good idea, feel free to message me.---LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL----

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.

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
