    @One fish, Two fish, Red fish...
    Green fish!!!....was the answer some schmuck gave for the first question on who wants to be a millionaire.... Stupid show..... The million dollar question was, What rock act won the first Grammy in the new category of best Hard Rock / Metal Album in 1988? No cheating please...... I been thinking lately about the people I meet The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow. Father forgive us for what we must do You forgive us we'll forgive you We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven. I was in the army but I never dug a trench I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch But I don't think they ever even noticed me. Fish and whistle, whistle and fish Eat everything that they put on your dish And when we get through we'll make a big wish That we never have to do this again again? again? On my very first job I said thank you and please They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees Then I got fired for being scared of bees And they only give me fifty cents an hour.

    @ Fish in the Sea
    here fishy fishy fishy... Seventy-three men sailed up From the San Francisco Bay, Rolled off of their ship And here's what they had to say. "We're callin' everyone to ride along To another shore, We can laugh our lives away and be free once more." But no one heard them callin', No one came at all, 'Cause they were too busy watchin' Those old raindrops fall. As a storm was blowin' Out on the peaceful sea, Seventy-three men sailed off To history. Ride, captain ride Upon your mystery ship, Be amazed at the friends You have here on your trip. Ride captain ride Upon your mystery ship, On your way to a world That others might have missed. [Instrumental] Seventy-three men sailed up From the San Francisco Bay, Got off their ship And here's what they had to say.

    We had so much fun! But it's always better when you catch some nice fish! Getting home to Seattle was more of an adventure than I was ready for on no sleep! Storms in CHI delayed us a couple times. Home at 2:00 AM. Off to work at 7:00! Karma keeps forgetting I am old! On the plus side the radio played a nice mix of Dead tunes on the boat!

    Coming right up.... BTW that was one reel big fish!!!! Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall stealing thru the dark of night Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away something doesn't feel quite right Help me someone, let me out of here then out of the dark was suddenly heard welcome to the Home by the Sea Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door pushing from above and below shadows but no substance, in the shape of men round and down and sideways they go adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair then as one they sign and they moan Help us someone, let us out of here living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time we were free so many years ago before the time when we first heard welcome to the Home by the Sea

    @ can't stop laughing
    They were so serious and yet so ridiculous! This song is sorta the same... Is love so fragile And the heart so hollow Shatter with words Impossible to follow You're saying I'm fragile I try not to be I search only For something I can't see I have my own life And I am stronger Than you know But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like me And you were right When I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I'd get by Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace Take from me My lace Take from me My lace

It has been a crazy weekend for me with hardly anytime for checking devices for electronic communication...thank you ALL for all the work in accumulating lists; getting us on here; soliciting ideas; and generally putting things in motion. Let inertia rule! I did manage to catch a north-Texas based Dead cover band Friday night...Forgotten Space. they are beyond excellent. They occasionally do small tours...I highly recommend your catching them if them if they ever swing by you.

Caveat Emptor (Latin for "buyer beware") Seen a few blogs on the other forums asking what a GDTS TOO "real e-mail" looks like. I have a screen shot of one and it was confirmed by my buddy who scored GDTS TOO tickets to be authentic. If any Daydreamers want to see it, drop me an e-mail. You have my addy.

Just FYI you guys -- price for 2 tickets now under $400...okay, so just $399 and horrible seats, but a drop below $400 is a step in the right direction IMO. Love you guys!

Prices on eBay are dropping also. There are multiple GDTS TOO tix on there as well. I need a single GDTS TOO tix for my wife for Fri and Sun. NO TM tix. Gotta have the commemorative one. If anyone else needs a single for any of those nights let me know. I usually hit the parking meter though @ ~ $500 per ticket.

I saw a similar package (with 100-level reserved seats vs. GA) sell on ebay for $12,000. Figure it breaks down with hotel @ $500 per night for 3 nights and $1750 per seat x 6 seats.

Okay Tribe, so yell at me if I'm out of line. Bill Walton, really? I know he was an amazing b-ball player and has been a true Head for many years...but can I ask? WHY are we getting our information from Bill Walton? Enough already. Sorry, but this is pissing me off. JUST SECURE SOME DATES YOU GUYS, FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE FAIR (JUST THIS TIME) ABOUT GETTING TICKETS OUT...AND F***ING DO IT! I cannot bear another run on tickets in California, scalpers, spinning wheels, dashed dreams (again). This is crap. This is nonsense. Sorry Daydreamers. Cranky mood tonight. I've been doing this for more than 3 decades and I have NEVER...this is all just STUPID. Wow. I think I need therapy.

your reaction actually seems pretty rational, considering the catalyst. I just hope they figure out a more equitable way to distribute tix...just be aware...there is still more demand than supply no matter how they sell tickets.

I do not take a deleted tweet as real news. But I find myself looking at Levi's stadium to see what it costs to get a PSL season club ticket arrangement to get in on a pre-sale. Not seriously, but you just get curious. Man it is a strange world.

Hey guys and gals: I need one for Fri and one Sun shows. There's a listing on eBay from the same seller for all dates, one pair for each show. These were for the original PL1 seats ($214.50 each). These will be for lower bowl seats, or, what is now called GA PIT tickets as per the new seat map. Anyone want to go in on a pair with me?

For those that have not seen this, and in the spirit of NCAA March Madness, dead.net has a Dead Covers Project and a bracket set-up for you to select the best home-grown cover of classic Dead tunes. It's pretty cool: http://www.dead.net/bracket/# My fav, and there's a few really great ones, is Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo by the Lower Companions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Wu4sHHo9o Cheers !!
