    Tribute to the founding of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609. At least that is the only logical explanation I have heard. AMAZING night at the Garden. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

    Last night on GDradio
    Was awesome, they didn't stream the show live, but they played the first set...which sounded like it was tearin the roof off NJ! Last night's first set rocked, was simply amazing....ENDING it in Lovelight....and this one had the energy of a freight train! It was pretty funny that in my home in Chicago, only 5 dayz! I was sitting here on my computer chair dancing, singing, twirling was chattin with other heads, and dancing and singing...Oh the computer age of Deadness. Everyone on that chatroom was amazing buzzed from the show. Wow, I thought, could this be the first time you've seen the boyz since 2004? WHOA, It's some pretty crazy stuff to think How awesome this tour is and I can't wait for May 4,5! WEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, Dance! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Funny not to hear about that one on of the Dead websites.. "When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

Given the one week space in between shows it wouldn't be surprising to see to see Autzen Stadium, Portland Meadows, Tacoma Dome and maybe even the football stadium in Missoula, Montana as a tour ender. Or, alternatively, Vancouver or Victoria, British Columbia to end with & Veneta instead of Autzen... Hey, we can dream, can't we?

no official anouncement is to give the people that are in the know a chance to get good tickets. Being one of the few west coast shows, it's likely to sell fast. They did this alot back in the day actually ( word of mouth, not listed) gives the true deadheads a good chance. I forget where actually but back in the 80's they actually billed themselfs as "Formerly the Warlocks" to throw people off so the shows wouldnd sell out so quickly.

"This must be heavenTonight I crossed the line You must be the angel I thought I might never find Was it you I heard singing Oh while I was chasing dreams" ~John Barlow This is the best week of my life in a hella long time! I just got back from an unbelievable time...I took Trish to a sweet bungalow getaway for her B-Day/V-Day present (private pool/spa, steam room, crankin' tunes, Jacuzzi bathtub, and amazing love for one another) AND got a new digi-camera (old one was stolen before a show in July) AND just got Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers live at the Fillmore DVD (amazing 20 show run) AND now I get to see another CHITOWN show! I almost jumped out of my seat when I read this! WHooooooaaaaaaa Doggies! I am excited, elated, and totally relaxed at the same time! Phatmoye, I don't, I think they kind of knew this was going to happen all along, but wanted to wait until after finding out who they could trust (and boy did we all), put out the rest of the shows like they used to. Never a doubt in this boy's head! ~Just laughing and a singing, dancing in the street!~ ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Brother Jack - I called Ticketbastard this mornin' to see if they were handlin' the on sale for this show as I've been told that the Gorge is a Livenation venue. I recall that Ticketbastard also showed the on sale for Shoreline even though Livenation was the place to go. I did check the post on Ticketbastard which showed tix for $45 - $75. Cust serv said that they had confirmed the on sale for the 5/16/09 show at the Gorge for 2/20/09 at 10am. Let us take a momement and ponder the large grain of salt before us and not forget why we like to call 'em Ticketbastard amongst other things - Peaceful Journey To You All.........

It sure would have worked out better for me, schedule-wise. Oh, well, Tuesday will be good, even if it's sloppy seconds. Hope the boys don't wear themselves out on Monday, I kinda liked having the day off before the 5/5 show. Happy to see another couple of west coast shows added for those folks, though. ********************************************* **************This space for rent***************** *********************************************

The announcement on the dead.net home page shows presale on 2/17 through Musictoday web site. Dont know if these guys are in bed with ticketbastard too, but to be sure there will be "brokers" standin in the virtual line with multiple computers waitin to buy up blocks of the best seats. Any self respecting Dead Head would never buy a ticket for anything more than face value from a scalper. Thats not in the spirit of what this whole scene has been about for 40 years. I can remember Bill Graham walkin the line at Winterland and tellin scalpin bastards to get the hell out of his neighborhood. Best bet for reserved seats is still the mail order BOYCOTT ONLINE SCALPERS!! SCUM OF THE EARTH!!

They would have either a) had a Shoreline show on May 11 or b) had these 2 Shoreline shows planned from the get-go. I already made travel arrangements for one show :-( Stupid job, always holding me back! "When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me.

And another thing... if we do boycott these bastards, as show times draw near they will come down and you may get great seats for face value or less. I can remember hangin around shows till the doors open and watchin them almost fight each other for a sale. Make these pigs eat thier greed! FACE VALUE OR MIRACLE! ACCEPT NOTHING LESS! BOYCOTT ONLINE SCALPERS!! SCUM OF THE EARTH!!

theotherone2 I agree mail order is the way to go, however the 3 add on shows dont offer this option. There is a link to GDTSToo from ticket sales site, but there is no mail order actually available for those 3 shows. I am holding out hope that mail order will become avaialble. I dont know for a fact but I assume to be true that when we use mail order, a greater percentage of the profits make it to the band and operation costs. Plus mail order tickets (at least in the past) have cool graphics and I assume support people who work for the dead at GDTSToo. If nothing else it keeps ticketshiester from getting any added service fees. That alone is worth the wait. To anyone else who is patiently awaiting mail order...think positive...the mailman knows us all on first name basis! ~Peace 42% of all statistics are made up.

I was online at 9am for the presale with card in hand and ready to click at the stroke of 9am pacific time. ... I got shutt out of reserved and was only able to get lawn tickets... now these scumbags are selling seats down front for up to 2500 per seat? talk about B.S.

Fear not...the intrepid crew at GDTS are scurrying around, filling orders and mailing tickets. Here's the update they just sent out this morning: We are processing the last of the Philadelphia orders this week & next as well as MSG. The first Shoreline is the next out of the door. The remaining shows will be processed in 3-6 weeks. Credit cards will also be processed this week & next. Please try to hold your phone calls and emails as we are busy bees filling ticket orders. In previous updates, they indicated that they'd send back money orders to the unlucky ones that didn't get tickets (only applies to a subset of MSG, Philly & Shoreline orders), so if you haven't gotten your paperwork back, the odds are that you're good to go for MSG. Look for tickets in the next week or so.

Glad to hear they didn't leave the NW out of the loop on this tour. Everyone start concentrating good energy on the weather for this one, as most of us in the NW know its a crapshoot as far as weather goes in mid-May out here. I'm going for sunny skies and 82. Send the love.

But unfortunately I can't make any of the Northern Cal shows. Wish I could do Shoreline, but the kids, finances, work ect won't make it happen. I'm just happy there's a So Cal show in the mix lol! Although San Diego is much nicer than Los Angeles...and the venue is soooo much better down here as well. Maybe next time around!

I am so psyched to attend this show! I missed getting tix for the 5th, and didn't want to pay scalper prices. I am so happy they added another show... I think they should headline Rothbury Festival, July 4 weekend in Michigan, that would be the bomb! I am already vibing in anticipation of this Chicago show.

It's cool to see the new shows added but I feel the pain of those southern heads. Has anyone noticed that the band is only playin' in blue states? It may just be a "tip of the hat" to Obama? I know they could fill a few arenas in the south, having lived in fla for years, they always drew a crowd there. Thank the stars we moved to NC. Sorry to all those red state heads.

of the Euroheads! :-) Also the pain of wondering where we will live and how to feed my kids, of more vital importance than where the dead are playing, and with whom, and how much tickets cost. Have joy for the folks gonna see these shows, but let's keep the perspective a bit. Is a luxury to be able to do that, and no right!********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
