    Hey Now, thesteam
    Seems like you need to blow off some, but somewhere else. That shotgun quote at Hal is VERY unkind, not to mention against our good vibe way here. Yes indeedy,you're absolutely right in that we can disagree and argue and have differences of opinion, and all sorts of things here; but Hal's right-personal insults, name calling, and quoting threats like blowing Hal away are against the policy of the site that we all aggreed to when we joined here; and people will speak out against such things. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    Phatmoe-yeah im using a wii-its not hard,just takes gettin used to-cept the damn batteries keep dyin on the wireless remote-need to get that charger!---------------OK the real reason I posted--Did anyone see the boys on utube at the ball??YIKES!! I hope they do some rehearsing before the tour cuz I gutta tell ya-I was NOT IMPRESSED!I hope what I saw/heard was mostly due to bad footage/audio.Because to be perfectly honest-they sounded terrible!maybe It was an off-night(we've all seen those)and maybe the circumstances were a little too weird for them to get into it(I HOPE)Im starting to think someone else might fit better than warren.Im sure THE DEAD will have good and bad shows-just hope my wife and I see a good one(FOR $435.00 A PAIR!!!!)tigerlily-hope you didnt take offense when I said your picture was freakin me out-I LIKE BEIN FREAKED OUT!!! smiles-G

    On a good night it was bettern the best sex. The interplay between each other, the sometimes silent, somtimes thundering ques, the ability of any one member to lead the rest of the band down a new path with a simple phrase or chord was improvisation at its finest. Never stuctured, always right on the edge. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. On a bad night like a plane crash. Did someone say coverband??? Who else can pull off Merle Haggard and the Stones in the same set. The mix of country, folk, bluegrass, jazz, blues, and straight ahead rock and roll have never been equalled. Uncle Bobo said it best "Theyre not only the best at what they do, theyre the only ones who do what they do" And then there was the cat in the GD movie "The bottom line is quite simply stated, there is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert

    Cover band???????????????
    Couldnt agree more with you fleaflicker. Late 80s into 90s and Jerrys passing were the low point for the band and the fan base. anyone thats been to a Phil or RD show in the past few years or the Dead 03, 04, can tell you when theyre in that groove its better than ever. Cover band???? Hardly!!! The fans are different too. A lot of old timers (like me) are back on the bus and the youngsters seem to have that spirit of long ago. Of course we'll never replace the 70's.

I have never been to a dead show, but i've watched plenty on dvd and still got off just as much...im in college now its an online course for massage therapy, im into natural healing more of a holistic view on life....i believe in a higher power, i believe we all can tap into this inner power with enough meaning behind it....i go around with a smile, instead of a frown....i try to have self control over my feelings and frustrations, i've realized that if you can find entertainment out of those so called stressful situations, you wont find your self getting upset and uptight, instead loose and fun. I live in martinsburg wv i've always been a country girl. born and raised most of my family are good county folks....i was raised on a farm around horses, and i rode alot....i miss it, and hopefully oneday i will be able to raise my future kids on a green pastured farm, i know it was fun for me, and made me unique and different, it taught me responsibility, and love for my family, as well as the horses. I trained them, and it was as if we could understand each other, i fine tune myself to others feelings and pick up alot from people...i guess you could call me a people studier....if someone is feeling a certain way, i can pick up on it and feel their pain/happiness/nervousness....sometimes its not so good, thats why i try to use meditation, a sense of washing away...and letting go...I love to camp out, in fact i own a small trailer that is sitting on a piece of land near the potomac river, its acutally a big campground, its my paradise, and my get a way spot, theirs lots of woods to go hiking in, and nature to be adored, usually people ride golf carts around the park...alot of people go there too, the whole park is surrounded by the river, theres cliffs that people jump off from tehre that are 90ft from the water!! i've jumped before, i am a big dare devil....always have been since a young kid, i loved rollercoasters and bunji jumping!! i like to walk on the wild and dangerous side....i've tried and dabbled into a lot of things in my life....and i dont regret none of it....my camper is all set up, i've got grateful dead bear door beads from www.hippieshop.com also glow in the dark groovy peace signs on teh walls and ceilings...i've got blacklights disco ball...its all shagged out...and the all time greatest party spot....theres also a fire pit, thats where im usually at in the night time, if im not out skinny dippin in the river, lol...i've been swimmin on some cold nights when no one else would...lol i really do love the water especially when im in my fantasy world:) i love to have fun, and get away from reality every now and then...its a nice vacation. im very spiritual, i belive in evolution i dont really buy the whole adam and eve story...however, incase you didnt know, there was another woman created before eve...if your into that stuff....her name was lilith, and she wanted equality, half and half, man and woman....but they wouldnt have it and banished her and created eve....to me im more into the big band theory...atom and egg collide causing supernova blast, and creation of the planets...its pretty crazy how the whole thing is set up....its almost like there has to be some mastermind behind the veil...or could it just simply be natures laws???

Some of us try to spread good vibes around here. Are you kind? " Are you kidding? I WAS extremely kind to the person that called, The Dead, a "really good cover band". As far as your comment to me... "Are you kind?" I assume that is a quote from Uncle John's Band. Here is a quote for you as well... "If I had me a shotgun, I'd blow you straight to hell."

greetings and salutations to all you wonderful people on this thread. I just want to say that it is a wonderful feeling to be a part of this. It has been so long since a dead show for me, I am so psyched, counting the days till greensboro. 84 to go. 1st show, first song "let the good times roll>feel like a stranger" would set the tone for a stellar return for the guys. can't wait, can't wait. have been reading this thread since it started and would like to thank marye for the awesome moderating, thank you Marye. :) Hope to meet some of you grate people at the shows, let the good times roll cause I feel like a stranger.

Yeah our daughter is 4 and there is no way she would sit in reserved seats for more than about 10 minutes. She does really good in a general admission setting though especially outdoors.

As to the Inaugural Ball on Tuesday night, I understand they're limited to a single, one-hour set. My guess is that the setlist will look something like this. Morning Dew > Dark Star > Drums > Stella Blue - Encore: Viola Lee Blues "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

It is really good to see and hear so many people talking about bringing their kids to the shows. As a father of two 1 boy 11 and 1 girl 8 and plan to take them to the VA show my wife and I were a little concerned at first. They went with us the last time the dead toured. We did a mini inner state of NC tour, Raleigh then Charlotte. Both of these shows were outside and we had lawn tix. We all had a blast. Before we left for these shows we stayed at the family beach house on Oak Island, NC and hurricane Charlie came through. We sat on the front porch in rocking chairs and in less than thirty minutes it came and went. No, none of us were in any danger. But this excitement plus knowing we were going to these shows especially with the kids and it being their first I'm sure I felt like they do at Christmas. At the Raleigh show beach balls and balloons were bouncing and they had a clown on stilts walking around. My daughter loved it and at night when the glow sticks started flying around my kids really started getting into it. They also liked rolling down the hill on the lawn. The next night in Charlotte we rented them a couple of lawn chairs because we could tell they were worn out from the night before. They were in bed in the chairs by the end of the first set this allowed mommy and daddy some alone time to dance together for the rest of the show. Only close call was fellow head who with a combination of alchohol and a steep incline fell down a little too close to the kids. This is why I'm a little skeptical about an enclosed venue. My wife and I are going to the Greensboro show alone and in style I might add and decided to get upper level seats for the show with the kids in Charlottesville. But after seeing the get weird video and the footage of the little boy danceing in hallway, if things were getting a little to cramped we could do the same. Thanks for the ear cautions I did not think about it until someones post. Been since Charlotte 95 with Jerry since either my wife or I have been to a big indoor venue, and the inevitable ears ringing trying to find the car. Any way I've rambled long enough.Hope to see y'all in the south with your kiddies and ours. Peace and love.

chasing a little one down the aisle is a pretty good excuse to get closer to the stage, though.( -; I think in the seating areas, most fellow heads are 'respectful' of a kid's space. looking back from when I was a small youth, well, the circle of bikers around me kept the area clear... so; it does, also, have to do with establishing your space for the kids from the very start of the show, and polite reminders if a freak seems to have a potential to flail into your children. did see plenty of little onees over the years, plenty of families were touring back in the day; even during the more recent 2004 tours, and certainly at NYE this year. just seeing the little ones at the show makes me smile so hard, as the torch of our joy is being passed onto the next generation. accidents may happen, however, and wasted folks do not have the best control of their motor skills. (warning label-- do not operate heavy machinary) printed on that 1/8 bag of schrooms... might wanna have a deep talk with the kids about some of the 'scary' looking freaks they may see. depending on your lifestyle, if this is their first exposure to ssome of the real freak shows who are part of our family. I would check with a audiologist about if the noise cancelling technology prevents nerve damage as well as the best option for protecting kids ears concirning certain types of earplugs -- something i don't really know too much about. believe me, it ain't no fun saying 'huh? what was that?' half the time.

I don't know what song they might open with in Califonia, (Estimated profit perhaps, but very doubtful), but I can almost bet that they would play Hes Gone towards the end of the show. It would be a great ending for a tour. And yet a great reason to start a summer tour. Phatmoye

thankx phatmoye, I think all of us here do our part to keep this site cool. when I have free time, I tend to have A LOT of free time, and this site has been a place to get into the scene when there is no scene or tour. so long as there is no name calling and other bullshit... I believe in the grateful philosophy. this is my religion. it is rather dis-organized, but it works for me. learnt lessons from the road, learnt lessons from un-likely sources... this site and our fellowship and sharing here is part of all that. sharing the woes, sharing the joys, giving a miracle ticket, giving a ride to a head with his thumb out. ALWAYS finding just one more seat on the bus so that EVERYONE can get to the next show. syphon my gas if you need it, eat my food if you are hungry, drink my water if you are thirsty. borrow my tape and copy it. (just don't mix up the boxes, please) getting a warm hug from an old tour friend, getting a copy of that long lost tape... caring and sharing. being nice to everybody. stopping strangers just to shake their hand. everyone here has a home. everyone here has a place to kick back and relax and get warm. no one sees tears in the rain, but that don't mean there ain't no tears. come in out of the rain. nothing to hide here. writing the above makes my heart swell with pride and joy that I am both a deadhead and here. "this must be heaven" love and peace.

Really looking forward to the April 15 show in VA. I used to go to Grateful Dead shows in the old days with my now 30 year old son (he was 8 when we started). My 12 year old from my second marriage has been to 3 Phil and Friends shows, 3 Ratdog shows and has seen DSO twice. Never thought he would have this chance. We've got our tickets and I'll be going with both my sons plus my best friend on my birthday!!! What a birthday!! Hope to see you all there. Peace

I love it when I see people with their kids at shows. I hope to take my grandkids to their 1st show - just can't afford it right now. I would feel better about taking my grandkids to see The Dead than many of the other bands I see. I saw lots of kids at AC/DC as well as Roger Waters - I think hearing protection for kids at in door venues is a good idea. My hearing is getting bad already. Saint Stephen with a rose.

Steve-O - cmon seriously? A <2-yr old to an arena show? Is getting a babysitter you can trust an issue?Because if you can it would be better for both of you. Your kids will not get his ears blown out . And he won't really enjoy the experience that that sustained a time. And he won't remember to appreciate anyway. (There are other ways to share the god love GD head vibe with him beside bringing him inside an arena show at that age). . If you can get a sitter you can trust you'll have a much better time and will be able to enjoy the whole show too. That's my opinion/advice anyway. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -enjoyin' the ride -There'll never be another Jerry

Given the time lag between pre-sale day #1 (1/13) and the start of the tour in mid-April, I'd expect the GDTS staff to start mailing tickets sometime in February. The best way to stay in the loop on this is to sign up for GDTS e-mail updates (sign up at gdtstoo.com). They're very good about sending out periodic updates to nervous 'heads that're brooding about their orders. The only downside to mail order is waiting to find out what tickets ya got (versus the 'sorta' instant gratification of on-line sales), but in my experience, the kind folks at GDTS take very good care of their customers. My friends and I have ordered from them so often over so many years that we've almost stopped being surprised when they've recognized our separate orders and issued us tangential seats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One man gathers what another man spills...

we now have 3 kids three and under. had planned on brining the whole family to shoreline to meet their extended family...but now we are thinking that we may leave the babes at home for the day. it's hard - we keep going back and forth b/c we want the kids to have the experience and to feel the love...but keeping in mind that our kids don't groove crowds or loud noises, and like to go to bed at 7pm...plus, they just wouldn't understand why jerry wasn't there....too bad they aren't playing mid-day outdoor shows

I have 3 y.o. twins and they are my whole world-I take them everywhere because I love to watch them explore and discover-but I honestly would NOT bring them to show at this age and here's why: 1.It's mommy+daddy time-I want to cut loose+not worry(Im VERY protective of my young) 2.I really dont need my 3 y.o. kids breathing in pot smoke(NOT COOL!) 3.I have been to shows where I found acid right on the floor--What if they found some? 4.TOO LOUD!!!(they would not keep ear protection on or in! I dont mean to sound like a prude-- but c'mon people--it's not a place for little kids-get a sitter and spare your kids developing brain cells-THINK ABOUT IT!!!!♪♪♪ Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandana♪♪♪ P.S.-just my opinion.....

Huke20-at least you understand-loud music+people smoking weed is nowhere for little kids to be-I actually cant even beleive anyone with 1/2 a brain would expose their little kids to that(at least not indoor arena shows)remember how full of smoke the arena's are when they flick on the lights after the show?--you really want your little ones breathing that in?-USE YOUR HEADS!!!!

I took my daughter to her first concert when she was in grade school. But I never even considered taking her anyplace like that until (A) she had first voiced an interest in it and (B) I felt that I could enjoy the show while keeping an eye on her without spoiling the experience for her as well. My little girl was 10 when all of this came together. It was an outdoors performance too, so I was far less concerned with the harmful effects of second hand smoke than I might have been at an arena.

Hi all,Most of the arenas our smoke free, for that matter most of the states our smoke free.Im not saying that no one will be smoking, but at the Penn. show, they had smokers dens outside. I think we all know that smoke isnt good for anyone, but at a dead show, your almost going to have this.Most of the heads at the Penn. show were pretty decent about smoking cigarettes in designated areas. As for weed, it will always be in and out of the arenas. Phatmoye

Anyone else notice that theres no national news anouncment, or even bay area news about the boys @ the ball?? Waas up with that? Wheres the love? They announced Biance, Bono, Mylie Cyrus. Just goes to show that even though they can pass the background check, they still don't get no respect. Along with men like MLK, they helped shape the thinking of a generation that made tomorrow possible. "Wave that flag, wave it wide and high"

By all means, bring the kids. The shows have always integrated music, family, love, great friends, good vibes, great times, etc. My wife and I started taking our daughter on tour when she was two. Today she's 24 and a better person because of it. She's now working toward her graduate degree and understands a way of life that has all but disappeared today. She dug the scene and provided us so many wonderful memories and photographs from back in the day...dancing as Phil beamed at her from the second row in Deer Creek, her singing (every word) along with Touch of Grey, Scarlet Begonias and Fire on the Mountain, blowing bubbles at the amphitheater shows, heads going out of their way to accommodate her, vending beads and necklaces (seems like we sold so much more when she was doing the actual selling) and so much more. Yes, we had earplugs in her ears at some of the indoor shows when she was young. For many years, she was asleep by the second set and slept soundly right on through to the encore. Never had a child-related problem in all those years of touring. Regarding Cassidysdada's comment, "I have been to shows where I found acid right on the floor--What if they found some?" This is where personal responsibility comes into play. If you can't take care of your children (which includes being a responsible parent by watching EVERYTHING they do at that age no matter where you're at), you shouldn't reproduce. My daughter literally grew up on tour with many other kids (now grown) and to this day she says she wouldn't change a thing. She did ask me one day, "How come we didn't do the Europe shows?" If you want to take your kids, take them. There are plenty of folks who understand the love and how we share it with the next generation. Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on.

Does'nt anyone think the prices are extremely high???Just seems like $100 is a whole lot for one show..... I've heard rumors that warren is the reason for the prices which makes no sense...(Jerry never made that kind of loot)... This isn't the right scene to be tryin to profit so crazy.... Miracles are gonna be super hard to come by at $100

Folks, in my many battle-scarred years in the online trenches, I have learned a few valuable lessons. One of them is that few things are likelier to end badly than discussions in which the participants find fault with each other's parenting skills. For the sake of harmony, let us assume that all parents here want nothing but the best for their kids and go to a fair amount of trouble to achieve that result. Thank you...

...DC is filthy with inaugural balls (there are several just in the Convention Center), and the Mid-Atlantic isn't one of the more famous. The Neighborhood Ball will get the most media attention, since almost-President Obama just created it for us common folk. It is being televised, and will air live on ABC 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET. The Commander-in-Chief's Ball is televised to armed forces and some cable systems on the Pentagon Channel. The Youth Inaugural Ball will be broadcast on MTV channels around the world. The show airs at 10:00 p.m. EST/ 7:00 p.m. PST. Kid Rock, Fall Out Boy and Kanye West will be performing. The rest of the balls are the regional ones, there's one for each of the Prez and VP home states, and then the Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Southern and Western Balls, each covering groups of states and US territories. Other than news clips I don't recall seeing much of these other soirees on TV; maybe there will be a kind taper or two in attendance at the Mid-Atlantic (although security will no doubt be a sho'nuff bitch at these things!) I know I'll be watching archive.org, but I don't really expect to see the Dead set show up. Enjoy!
