    As if I have anything to say about it.......How about one set singing and the other just tambourine and twirling? Sending out good vibrations to everyone here. See you at the Colliseum!!

    I have a feeling that what little seats that are left at Shoreline and MSG will get snatched from brokers and scalpers..I am curious to see the listing prices after the 23rd when the demand is higher..I miss the old days when you camped out for tickets and where rewarded for your patience and time..Met some great people over the years standing in those lines

    all the haters stay home. If you choose to attend, please check the tude at the gate. I also flipped out at first over the prices and scalpers scooping up most of the good seats, but I'm over it. Is what it is. I'll be happy to jump into a seat closer than mine left empty by an unsold scapler ticket. Just looking to have a good time and hope you all are too.

    Haters??
    I don't get all the negativity. The Core 4 have decided to reunite. Is it for the money? NO. Is it for us? Partially. Is it 'cause they found that magic again and want more of it? That's my guess. $100 a seat and people are griping? Go see the withered Don Henley and the mishmosh of musicians he's calling "The Eagles" these days for less than $200 and your seat will be in the bathroom. The Rolling Stones' cheap seats are $190....and don't forget - they don't have all THEIR original members either. $100 is just fine by me. I can't understand the bitching and complaining. If it's too much, don't go. If you'd rather see the pale imitation, aka DSO, for $30 - enjoy 'em! They're great at what they do - a wonderful imitation of the Grateful Dead. To me, it's "Gratefulmania," but I'm glad they're helping keep the music alive so nicely and with such attention to detail. The world needs them!For these 4 guys to patch up their personal differences and see them palling around in those videos - it's simply wonderful. The vibe is great. I'm just gonna steer clear of the negativity being spewn from people who simply just "don't get it." And when I say that, I say it wholeheartedly. You haters may have "gotten it" long ago, but you lost it somewhere along the line. Personally, I believe this could be the last time. I felt the magic in State College. Their listening skills were honed in and the collective brought it - with force. I'm dropping out for 5 shows. I'm a father of 3, full-time employed and only income in my family. There's no way I'm missing some of this magic. Even if they DO another tour, I'm done. This is it for me and I've made my peace with that. Certainly if they come to my backyard - I'll be there....but my touring days end after this tour. I'll be pickin' my acoustic in the parking lots and I'll be a 22 year old all over again....nothin' left for this 40-year old papa left to do but smile, smile, smile... ~ Pappy http://www.theCAUSEjams.com "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

    Would have definitely gone that route, except that using a credit card is the only way I can float this right now, which they aren't taking for these shows, so...... Hope everyone who did mail order comes up smiling! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Back in the 80's I got beat up by some drunken bullies in the parking lot of the meadowlands. They broke a beer bottle on me and kicked me around for being a "stinkin hippy"! I felt so sorry for them. I had just seen 3 amazing shows and was on a musical high like I had never imagined possible. Their limited minds would never allow them to understand how amazing things the hatred they felt would not permit them to get. I honestly never even felt anger towards them. Send out love and that is what you will receive. Peace. Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his sandals. That way when you do judge him, you are a mile away and have his sandals!

Don't think this head has the power to resist the sweet temptation of touring again. It's in my blood and veins....I'm gonna get on the bus in Chitown all the way through The Gorge. I can't wait to be twirling with all you headicated people! I'm gonna be dancin' and singin' where the grass is always greener (the Dead shows) and I am considerably excited. Don't even think I'm gonna care if I have all the tickets or not. I've put my finger in the air many times before and I'll tell you that I don't mind hanging out in the drum circles outside in the lot! Love ya all~ ____________________________________________________ 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!

Anyone get their mail order from Verizon Center show in April yet? I'm hearing about all these other shows getting their tickets that take place later in the tour and wondering why the earlier show didn't go out first. I guess I'm just starting to get concerned since this is the first show for my son and I wanted to give him the tickets for his birthday which is this 3/6.

I can't believe I lost out on the Garden shows ( so far at least ). I went through ticket master about a minute after it went on sale and it re-directed me to their alter site for 10X face value tickets. A few weeks later there was all kinds of outrage that the same thing happened to the Springsteen shows then all of a sudden all kinds of politicians and government officials get involved and they change their rules / policies ... a lot of good that did me !

The camping is for the night of the show, correct? Trying to figure out what to do the day between Shoreline and the Gorge.

In the process of setting up a little get together, on a farm just outside of the venue (6-10 miles) you could walk. But, it's not going to get out of hand, and only kind people will be let in the "doors"____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

I will be bringing 2 decorated banners on tour. Both banners are being designed by talented artists. I will be at every show with them(except the second shoreline) and already have plans to meet up with lots of people from this site to get them signed. I am trying to get as many signatures as possible! I will also be taking fun pics with them at scenic locations like haight/ashbury corner... times square and everything in between! If you would like to make arrangements to meet up and sign please email me at jphilipedwards@yahoo.comHope to see you at the show! Peace 42% of all statistics are made up.

I haven't received my 5-4 CHI tic yet -- they said it should be in my mailbox by 2 weeks before the show. M 5-5 tic I pick up there -- I splurged on a High Time VIP package... I'm trying to find my DeadHead friends here in STL who are going up to CHI -- anyone else around here going to the CHI shows?? Hope they keep this up... My first show was in '81 at Assembly Hall in Champaigne, Urbana (U of IL). Second show was at Riverport (yuk...band was good -- just don't care for Riverport or whatever Corporate name it has now) in '94 in STL, MO. Missed two-thirds of the show cause some one not associated with the concert was attempting to suicide from a building in that area. They stopped us on Hwy 70 -- I had to PISS so bad!! Got to my seat at the drum solo!!! Carry a bucket in the car, folks... I see Ratdog and Phil and Friends whenever they come thru StL. Can't wait!! Laura :)

You wrote:GDTSTOO "I think it is very cool of them to offer an upgrade and to give you a few days to come up with the cash. What more can you ask for??" My problem is, I mailed MO at 6am on first day of mail order. Got an email from their yahoo group saying all orders would be filled with the exception of MSG. That to me means I had tickets. Wouldn't you think the same? I then get an email from them on Feb 25th w/ subject line saying "4-18-09 upgrade!". I almost didn't read it because I didn't want an upgrade. It looked like a ploy to get rid of the seats none of us could afford..... I had to scramble to a fax machine, just before leaving on a plane to make sure they got it before March 1st. I understand they could have just returned my MO, but I feel taken as do many other people. I think that they only had a handful of tix at the cheaper range and they should have said something sooner. I have spoken to all of my friends who mail ordered on day 1 and they ALL got this same email. I think they sent this email out way too late, they must have known on DAY 1 that they couldn't fill all of the orders, since we all mailed on day 1! At this point, I unfortunately feel that my friends and I have been taken. I think they were stuck with a bunch of higher priced seats, that probably still suck and decided to send this little email out which basically means, buy this or you're screwed.

Seems like more people targeted the cheaper seats than they were expecting. I guess you should have sent in 2 money orders to ensure you got the cheap seats. The times where I see mail order work very well is when all the seats cost the same. It is much more straight forward. My point is that GDTS was trying to make sure you got tickets.

I've had similar problems with GDTSTOO I sent them my credit card information twice because the first didn't go thru and got no confirmation letter or email of any kind. I've been trying impossibly to get a response about whether or not my credit card will be charged and when I can expect this to happen. They just keep saying next week when we process the orders but no date or anything. I've never seen the email you guys above are referring too. ITs been hairy and I need to know if I can pay my rent yet...WTF!
