Grateful Dead

Wasn't on the Gorge website but was listed at ticketmaster site. This is what I found there. The Dead Gorge Amphitheatre George, WA Sat, May 16, 2009 07:00 PM on sale:Fri, 02/20/09 10:00 AM If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

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"

I heard that another shoreline date is being planned, I heard the 5-14 for the other one!!!

just posted on jambase. recaps alot of whats in the videos but covers some other stuff also. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/16650/The-Dead-Speak!

I'll be at the PA shows, so if you need someone to groove or twirl with, its on, but they'll be plenty of souls to twirl with once you arrive.Phatmoye

why no official anouncement???????????????

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.

I noticed another show that just snuck in: 5-4-09. On sale 2.20. Woohoo! Wish it was on the weekend though. The Music Never Stopped! See y'all at Greensboro!

Luvin the extra Chi-Town Show.............. Double the pleasure,double the fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deadman007 Shakin not spun

Does anybody think that putting all these add on shows is GD way of apolagising for expensive tickets or selling out to fast? I dont really care, im just happy that theres a double in chitown, anybody heard anything about an extra show in philly??Phatmoye

"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? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Dead @ the Gorge! I've always wanted to catch a show there! Now I've got the perfect excuse to go.... Let's see Denver to da Inglehood then on up to Shoreline then on to da Gorge...... hmmm that's a lot of drivin' to do by myself - I'm gettin' a cramp in my ass just thinkin' about it - it's hell gettin' old ain't it? LOL here we go now...... Saint Stephen with a rose. In and out of the garden he goes. Country garland in the wind and the rain. Wherever he goes the people all complain.... Shine On! Saint Stephen

I don't see the Gorge listed now. Chicago #2 yes but no Gorge. They are messing with our minds man ... :-) "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"

May 16th is what I'm hearing here in WA state...

last night, but not tonightstrange If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

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......... Saint Stephen with a rose. In and out of the garden he goes. Country garland in the wind and the rain. Wherever he goes the people all complain.... Shine On! Saint Stephen

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***************** *********************************************

Chicago , Shoreline and The Gorge are listed now on dead.net

Shoreline extra night!!!!

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. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

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.

Will have a mail order, it just takes time for them to get things together!!! Trust!!!! Whooo Hoooo!!! Cant wait!!!!

Hey, if i havent received anything back from mail order by now for the MSG show, does that mean i am not getting the tix I sent for? thanks. never used mail order before!

the other one... I couldnt agree more... these ticket agencies are nothing more than legal scalpers and are SCUM OF THE EARTH! 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.

It's a long drive from Chi-town to Denver. KC would be a grate place for a show in our stylishly built Sprint Center, downtown, or better yet, Starlight Theatre.

Seriously boys, what have we done in the Motor City to piss you off. We rarely ever see any of you here anymore. And yes I know Bobby was just here this Summer, I was there. See you opening night in NC, but would love to see you in my own backyard as well. Peace

Is the Gorge show gonna be the end of the tour or the start of the next leg?

Live nation's website shows The Allman Brothers and the Doobie Brothers Billed with the Dead at the Gorge on 5/16

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.

I am going to have to make the drive up there I've talked myself into it and now there's no turning back. "Brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain"

tj crowley my wife has been asking when will i give up attending shows...well.;.;... at $100+ for this time around, the time has come!! too much $$$ for this ol' head now you query...why did i marry a non-dead head? well when the boys are in town, i know who's home w/ the children and when we divorce i know who gets the tapes too much $$$ for this drug/alcohol treatment specialist to attend maybe i'll take my friends suggesstion and now attend DSO shows

Because I am finding it hard to concentrate after hearing of this lineup at the Gorge.I think I'm having a flashback to when I was 18 in '74. Very Nice. The Gorge With special guest The Allman Brothers and The Doobie Brothers If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Wow, what a line up and how rockin will that be!!! I'm jealous!~Tam

I'll hope for the best next 2 weeks. Thanks for the reply!

Y'all Cali'heads got another Shoreline show and I'm betting there'll be more; we got crap here in the Southeast. ********************************************* **************This space for rent***************** *********************************************

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!

That WA Gorge lineup is way cool, junor... Warren's working overtime (as always)! but i'll just have to settle for my two (for now) Bay Area Shoreline shows! We've got Big Bill tonight (fridaythe13th) in SF with Oteill and Murawski! and 2 nights of Jackie Greene (with Phil and Bobby) at the GreatAmericanMusicHall and some Bob Weir(d) trio (Wasserman and Jay!) comin up in March at the Filmo... damn, i'm a spoiled azz hippy! time for the boys to setup/headline their own Bay Area weekend campout deadhead tripfest! (like Warren does back in Upstate NY) all praise to allah.

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.

I'm startin to wonder cause they are talking about finishing up the Spectrum and I mail ordered for Verizon Center and still haven't seen them and I put in for the FedEx delivery option. My 10 year old's first show was RatDog and this will be his first Dead Show.... They grow up so fast!

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. "let there be songs to fill the air"

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

Saw the dead there in 95 (black crows opening). literally people giving tix away. weeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrd crowd. maybe thats why they arent going down there.

allmans and doobies???????????????? come on, you can do better than that. how about widespread and kings of leon? now that would be worth the money.
