    kids at shows
    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

    SO THE KIDS THEY DANCE AND SHAKE THEIR BONES, it truly is a great thing to see all these parents taking there children, its awsome to see how the music gets passed down from generation to generation. I hope my son gets his son or daughter into this like i am with him.Phatmoye

    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...

    There were a lot of typoes and missed sentences in my last post. It's tough posting from a blackberry. I meant to write "good love, .." Not "god love, ..."

    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

    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.

The band says Happy New Year with an announcement of almost twenty shows in April and May.  More details to come!

I'm thrilled and excited about the Gorge Concert, but had so hoped that there would be at least a two nights of music... Most folks travel from afar, set up tents, enjoy the campgorund vibe, go a day or two without a shower, share their food, beer and tokes with fellow concert attendees... so a two or three day event would have me there in a heartbeat!! It's a long way to go for a one night stand...

Lets hope that theses bands can clear their schedule and join us on the bus. Now that would be a show to see, we all have our fav. bands to see with the boys but the Allmans and Doobies (of all kinds) would be historic.

In case anyone noticed or cared-I have not been online in like a month, I have internet through the wii system and all of a sudden it stopped working! We could'nt figure out why-Then it turns out we needed a router to get a wireless connection(apparently we were getting internet through someone elses signal)OOPS! told you I was a rookie! Anyway-For what it's worth,I missed talking to all my fellow DEADHEADS! I bought a router and now have my very own internet connection!! Look forward to hearing from you guys-GARCIALATER-G ♪♪"Arrows of neon flashing like keys out on main street"♪♪

Mail Order Tickets received today for MSG. Good Karma, as I was on top of pre-sale and ticketmaster sale and was shut down both times. I'll be there from Florida making 5 decades of seeing the boys live. Wish all good Karma.

Got my Spectrum tickets. Now I just have to wait and see if I lucked out with the "cheap" MSG tickets. The Deadheads gather at the rim of the volcano to dance and sing joyful songs in honor of their fallen hero.

I can't wait for the Gorge show..That is my favorite venue and I have talked to some friends around the country that are thinking of coming out here to go to the show..The set up is amazing and it allows camping so you don't have to drive after the show..I may be selling my Shoreline tickets now since I won't need to pay for air fare and 3 nights hotel

I've heard of this infamous venue. I would love to go, if I can get the time off of my two jobs, golf pro/restaurant, but as in the past....do I really care? NO, so talk me into it. How good is this going to be? Are "the boyz" really worth it (you know I'm smiling ear-to-shining-ear) to go to this show???????????____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Robbie - Go to your Inbox. Then to write a PM, on the top of the page you click the "compose" button. You need to know the person's dead.net username to send a PM. Either that or click on a person's username in a post and it will bring you to the PM page with their username already populated in the "To" field. To respond to a PM just click on the message, then hit the "Reply" button, then it's just like email. Write your PM then hit the "Send private message" button. Hope that helps.

Got the first Shoreline when that went up, and grabbed the Gorge this am. Seemed to go easier this time. It feels really good to be blowing the dust off the 'ol '73 VW camper again, knowing there is a show waiting at the other end!

for four tickets at the Gorge. YAHOO! And a friend who posts here at times got 3. So we now have a group of 7 from the Spokane area and beyond who will hang together. Also at least 3 others have told me they are getting tickets ASAP. So 10 +; we are all getting lawn tickets so we can hang together.

So, as tempted as I was to go for the reserved seating for this show, especially after seeing Bill Kreutzmann the other night so close, I opted for the lawn. (first time back on lawn since 92 Deer Creek) I just had too many other friends that are going to meet out here, that I wanted to be with family for this show. Either way, I am stoked. Haven't felt this good about seeing the band back together in years, more so than even the Alpine 2002 shows.I also feel a sense of togetherness with the band this time around that they have worked out their own differences that the music should gel together much more easily. I'm thinking these shows could be the best performances in 20 years. If you can make this one, especially if you've never been out there, you should make it if you can. See you there.

I tried to fax this morning using a free faxzero this morning at 9am pacific time and since it's a service I didn't know if it went through and had to go to work. So I get home from my split shift and bammo, they denied it after 5 times that it was busy. BUMMER!!!! Don't you hate the fact that they took off the fax program in Windows? They had this very easy to use program in every windows prior to Vista! So I'm in total high hopes and crossed fingers that I when I had my mom send it from work about 10 mins ago it will get to my brother's and sisters at GDTSTOO! I know it faxed, but I'm just hoping there are tickets left for the may 4th show at Chicago. I might be able to whip up some more cash later and order Shoreline tix, if they are not sold out by tommorow. I so hope that it wasn't too late!!!!!! I am such a fan of this band that's it's not funny. CROSSING FINGERS! Please lord! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

does anybody know the status of spring tour mailorder? has anyone received their tickets? does anyone else think the whole thing was run a tad poorly and the lack of communication is hindering your making proper plans? any info or thoughts would be quite helpful. thanks and have a great day.

still waiting for any word on mine as well for MSG. Pretty ridiculous how long it has taken...missed all other opp's to get tickets because had faith in going old school. The lack of info coming from GTSTOO has been disappointing at best. Still holding out that they'll come in soon and i'll get to see the boys at MSG. Would love to hear if anyone has ANY info as to the mailorder tickets.
