    "Hunter's verse"
    Danita - I didn't see the show but as I recall the verse it went -"You can borrow from the Devil - You can borrow from a friend. The Devil will lend you twenty when a friend will lend you ten." Always liked that one... how true it is. Peace.

    Loved the old Hunter lyrics by Phil, but wish they could have came out a little earlier and had a proper interview or at least got to give O'Rielly some grief!!! "been here so long, i'm callin it home!"

    I hear ya but put yourself in the position of someone who received an email stating that YOU WERE CHOSEN TO ATTEND THE SHOW and you never received the "confirmation email that will gain you access to that show. It seems most everyone else got theirs. Talk about pulling the carpet out from underneath you.

    If you were a Winner, You AND a Guest Are In! Taping Not sure???
    Just called the main box office that deals with Roseland and they said that if you were a winner your name should be on the guest list. Bringing the email is a back up. They said if you are a winner that means it is you plus one so bring whoever your guest is and they will get in with you. This is exactly like how it worked when BGP managed Phish playing at the Fillmore. In order to eliminate scalping for this small venue with high demand, they did this exact thing where if you were lucky enough to make it to the location where they were selling these vouchers, you were able to buy 2 tickets - you and a guest. You had to provide your photo ID and on the night of the show if that info did not match you did not get in. So, the good news was that you were able to bring in a guest. I am happy that my friend who's Birthday it is today will be able to come with me to the show! The kids they dance and shake their bones! See you later! Brother "A" ps Oh yeah, no info on taping yet - the box office thought it was not likely but that is always their policy and not that of The Dead - at least not what it used to be. I am curious what will happen tonight if I show up with my recording gear??? If anyone has info on this please pass it on!

    I guess it is the thought that counts
    Their heart was in the right place - trying to give a free concert to the fans without letting scalpers getting their hands on tickets but in the end getting into these shows seems like more trouble than they are worth.. It's not simple like the old days when the Grateful Dead would show up in Golden Gate park and put on a free show. Much more complicated now.I'll just patiently wait for my west coast run at the end of the spring tour. :-) "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

    I'm supposed to be going to the 11PM show tonight with a friend but GDTS has not responded with the "confirmation" email. We've tried to resend the acceptance email but to no avail. I'm extremely surprised at the way that GDTS is acting. Very unprofessional. I would never have thought that this website would treat it's community this way. Oh well, live and learn.

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.

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

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.

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.
