    MY BROTHER BOUGHT ME TICKETS FOR BOTH NIGHTS!
    Eric Abrahamson At my age, it's already predetermined that I'm not going to go to all that trouble unless I like it. The glass is either half-full or half-empty. Nobody twisted my arm, put me in a headlock, and made me listen to it-I think it's cool. I asked my brother for money to go, and he gave me 2 tickets. My friend Billy "Buzzboy" Rose, "Wavy Gravy's adopted son", used to be a Grateful Dead roadie, he got me backstage at the first show I went to after I met him, so I think they're good to me. My other friend, Richie Shirley, from the Hog Farm, was in the backstage Crew, traveled around the country with them and sold official T-shirts, and his wife, Andrea, "Mom", the cook at Camp Winnarainbow, used to work in their office in San Rafael and they had an apartment there. I met Richie and Billy at Woodstock where the Hog Farm was the Security and the Please Force, so you kids who pan them, fuck you and your worthless idiot opinions. You've never even been there yet, if you ever get there, at this rate. I think they were the best rock and roll band that ever was, and the Rolling Stones was #2, and I've seen them both. Compared to what, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? The technology is pretty good for playing in a stadium as big, new, and modern as that. They can hear everything you say and see everything you do, and my brother bought me a ticket way up in the back. In between songs this kid 10 rows down says, "Shoot him!" and I go, "I have a gun!" and immediately they started into "Loser", "If I had a gun/For every ace I have drawn/I could arm a town/The size of Abilene!" I don't like it when they get that personal, ad hominem, but I'm still a fan, because even if they ever had a bad day, they recorded plenty of *good* days, which can always happen, always *do* happen at least a little bit, and silicon is immortal. Great light show. The only problem is with the critics and nay-sayers, who have pre-judged it all instead of, "Judge not!"--like "prejudiced". They already don't like it, they were prepared not to like it--there is nothing the band could have done or could do that they would have liked or would like. It's against their religion. It couldn't be worse if they sang traditional Moslem hymns to Allah in Arabic. They probably know how. There was a day when *everybody* liked it, even my parents. They were the #2 top-grossing entertainment act for 2 years in a row; #1 was Bill Cosby, by concerts, not by record sales, by word-of-mouth, household names, I remember. Nobody listened to that thing about rock-and-roll being "the Devil's music", and if you play it backwards it says, "Hail, Satan!" In my opinion, the Church rejects dancing, "worldly", as opposed to gospel or spiritual music, commercial music, art, literature, drama, culture, one of the reasons, because it's linked in their mind with pagan religion, which certainly applies to the Grateful Dead. However, I would argue that when the Christians converted the Roman Empire and tore down the Pagan temples, later they incorporated some of the features of the pagan religions into their own, from what I've heard. For example, do they say that the gods and goddesses of the polytheistic pantheons of the ancient cultures like Greece, Italy, Egypt, Babylonia are really One, the Lord God of the Old Testament? Or it says on Wikipedia that the Lord God of the Old Testament was the war god of the Phoenicians, like Mars Hill, though I don't see why not the head god Jupiter, Zeus, Ra, or Aten, where Moses got it. Then the Christians say Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the Trinity is One, with Jesus Christ being the Son, a bow to pagan polytheism, but just 3. But they also have the Virgin Mary, who some say is Mother Earth, lots of saints and angels, etc. They say the 30,000 Roman and Greek gods were angels and demons, it's confusing, but some of them were like the Christian God in some ways. For example, Zeus sounds like "deus", which means "God". Jupiter, the Roman for Zeus, has also the name "Jove", which sounds like "Jehovah", which is translated "LORD" in the Old Testament. I read that the Christians used features from the Eleusinian Mysteries of Demeter, the Earth Mother in the Mass, the table, I think, maybe cups, candles, etc. to attract pagans. Some of the saints represent pagan deities from other cultures, and now they become Christian. The Greeks and Romans also had animal sacrifices like the Jews in the Tabernacle and Temple. Lots of their gods had wings like the Jewish angels, like Cupid, Victory, and Iris, the Rainbow. Maybe Moses got the snake on the pole from Mercury's Caduceus, and Asculepius the healer. The Elysian Fields is similar to the Christian Heaven, and Hades to the Christian Hell. Of course, there are just as many differences as similarities. Online I saw a book by the Church Father St. Clement where he uses Ulysses tied to the mast not to hear the Sirens' Song in Homer's "Odyssey" as an example of successfully resisting temptation, "Epistle to the Greeks". Of course, the Pope and the Vatican have always been in Rome. The Father represents Odin from Norse Germanic neo-Paganism, and Thor Jesus in a way. The word "Holle", "hell", isn't in the Bible, it's in the Norse "Eddas". *Valhalla* was their "Heaven". They mixed it with the Jewish Old Testament, the Greek and Roman paganism, etc. They included some of the old Jewish Mosaic prohibitions. Religion has art, music, literature, architecture, and Greek religion was somewhat based on plays. The Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple had a lot of art, sculpture, music, and architecture, and the Bible itself really is man-made literature. They just want a monopoly and no competition, and to control the State. A lot of art, music, literature, architecture, and sculpture got it's start in religion and then some Christians object for those artisans to become commercial, to use it for money, because they want to control the money, which is also man-made. It belongs to the person whose picture is on the money, who owns the metal mines, the mints, and who coins the money. "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." There *is* no picture of God. Some of the Caesars, Roman Emperors, made the people worship them as gods. Constantine himself was Apollo the Sun-God before he was a Christian. Go figure. Another reason the Church may prohibit "drugs, sex, rock-and-roll, drinking, smoking, and cussing", besides Scripture, as well as art, music, literature, theatre, and culture, science, technology, medicine, "the works of men's hands", the prohibition on idolatry, "make no graven image","bow down to no graven image", well that's another one. *Another* one, "God has made everything sufficient, but they have sought out many inventions." But the Church wants the money that people spend on entertainment, art, music, literature, plays, to go to them. Maybe they *did* think they were all being guided by *God* when they were on LSD and they were deceived by the Devil, "caught in the Devil's bargain", "Satan Himself appears as an Angel of Light to deceive if He can the very Elect," but they were experimenting and they thought they were right. Maybe if you got psychedelic by fasting 40 days in the desert those are true, not Satanic, visions. I think they came true for some of them; potentially could have come true for a lot more. Ram Dass called them "entheogens, 'theo', Greek for 'God', 'God-manifesting', you see God, become One with God, become God". "I am That I am." "I and the Father are One." "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." "I said ye are gods; nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." "We are as gods, and we might as well get good at it." The only psychedelic church I ever heard of was the Native American Church in New Mexico, who had a cross on the altar. They converted all the American Indians to Christianity, but they can still do some traditional Indian things they all (or at least some of them) like to do, just to preserve the culture for posterity. People are always interested in what happened in the past; it's valuable information. The price of Indian jewelry has gone up at least 100x in my lifetime, as it becomes more scarce, as they become lost arts, and they were better before the Wasichus came. There's that Jesse Colin Young song, "Before You Came", how great the Indians had it. A lot of pagan spirituality is a lot higher than a lot of Western spirituality; it's the same thing. If you call the Virgin Mary the Earth Mother, or Father God, Mother Earth, or the Yin-Yang, that's Paganism, or different forms of it, generally speaking. Freud in "Moses and Monotheism", says the Egyptian polytheism was better than the Egyptian monotheism, because when Iknaton switched them to Aten, the One God form of the Sun God Ra, he made Pharoah Iknaton at the top of the "pyramid", with all the ranks of nobles, courtiers, priests, and common people. With the polytheistic system, Isis, Osiris, all that, even though it's true what the Christians say, they worshipped animals, crocodiles, cattle, ibises, hawks, birds, elephants, lions, etc., as the Christians say, "brute beasts", power was more diffuse throughout society, less centered in the king. And he says they were more prosperous, too, with polytheism, that their society declined with monotheism, they overthrew Iknaton, called him a heretic, and restored polytheism. That was why one of the reasons Moses had to get out, to preserve the monotheistic concept somewhere else by founding a new religion. He was raised by the Pharaoh's daughter. There are traces of the Egyptian roots in Moses' writings; he uses the Hebrew word "Elohim", "gods", plural, for "LORD God", and "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," admitting they exist, but fighting them, and "Who is like unto Thee, among the gods?" "You're the best!" I don't know; I'm not a theologian. I just had a year of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Yale, and graduated from Mountain Heights neo-Pentecostal Bible College in 1974. I saw the Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Leo tonight, the same as the Star of Bethlehem. It was out for about an hour. Astrology is from paganism, too, and probably the Dead used an astrologer when they set up the stadium dates as a Christian joke, although who knows how forgiving the Christians can be about that. The Bible accuses those who "worship the host of heaven upon the housetops" and they said that meant the pagan Babylonian astrologers. But the Christians reject a lot of other things the Jews said, like the rule against pork. Maybe that verse condemns the Roman astrologers, too. I read that not only were the Romans, and Greeks, into that, but they had augurs, or prophecies by things like the flight of birds, which might signify things like victory or defeat in war, or they'd read the entrails of animals they sacrificed, like tea leaves, or "sibyls" at the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi would prophecy the future in poetry, Socrates had a "inner god" that told him what to do. The Christians say "abandon all that" and then years later when you're "mature in the Lord" it wasn't so bad, and won't really hurt you, "all things are pure to him who is pure", "nothing is unclean of itself", etc. This issue is "if __________ makes my brother to stumble, I will eat no ____________," "Blessed is the man who is not condemned by the thing he alloweth," and something about the "commandments of men". I'm going to write more on another post so it isn't too long.

It was a hoax

It's not just me, but I speak for the others sitting in this same ship of fools. I know I am not alone in this thing. I know people are pulling for me, and I am pulling for all the others also. I want to see us all get in it to at least one show. As honorary Mayor, I'm considering a governmental shutdown until things start turning positive or we get some kind or word or announcement. Even if you have nothing to announce, why not tell us that you have nothing to announce? Don't just be a clam and stay silent! This silence is DEAFENING. I mean seriously, people, is it that hard to get in front of a PC or a microphone for 5 freakin' minutes? And say, "look, we are still thinking about adding shows but we haven't decided." Or, "we can't do Santa Clara because..." or "on this day will have an announcement of some sort". (nope) (nothing) ...and more nothing to follow tomorrow ...or the next day ...and so on and so on...

It certainly appears that it was in fact a hoax. Thanks Mr. Bill W! So let's just let everyone assume it was hoax. No need to TELL ANYONE that it was a hoax... Or is it a hoax that it was a hoax? Looks like we will never know until June 27 comes and goes, with out a show or a single word.

Mayor Klangstone is going to try to step away from this for a while. Will check emails and PMs, but off the bus and roller coaster for a while. Just too much. Still need a ticket, pending ticket is in limbo (as is my brain)

Not sending them until a week before the show would be incredibly short sighted, stupid, and would screw over fans who bought tickets via approved methods. There are people who are taking the prior week off and vacationing or driving to Chicago.

They will definitely do that. The scalpers mostly don't live in Chicago. They sure aren't going to fly to Chicago to unload a few tix. They'll just take a loss or try to find someone local in their areas to unload their tix which likely won't be successful so close to the show and with logistic hurdles of booked airlines and hotels. So in the trash they go.

No way they would just throw them away. Any ticket that makes it to the show will get sold quickly (so many people will be there who need tix) and most scalpers have at least four, methinks. Giving a local dirt-bag-in training $50 to recoup $500-700 is a no-brainer. However, I do think this rumor is just that because, as you pointed out, it would also hurt people who legitimately bought tickets and are, let's say, hitching out from either coast. I think it was just the poster getting nervous. I think the biggest thing to be nervous over is whether the CID ticket can be transferred.

Do you have a link to where you heard this rumour of GDTS not sending out tickets until the week before? I highly doubt that it is true.

Antagonistic nonsense. Patience is the key with purchasing tickets let alone miracles. There are those true Deadheads who will have extras in Chicago for 100s of untold reasons. If fans hold out , scalper prices will fall. All good things in all good time !

Hey now, 11 years today. Feels great. My wife and I are planning on coming up from Mississippi for the weekend, without tickets, just to be with the community one more time. Maybe we'll get a miracle, maybe we won't, but we plan on enjoying ourselves one way or another. If the Wharf Rats are gathering somewhere outside Soldier Field, I'd like to stop by, visit and maybe swap stories.

Point - the band and GSTS TOO would like to take a stance to minimize and/or mitigate the secondary market of ticket sales. Alleged Point - in order to do so, GDTS TOO has decided to not send tickets out in early June but "time" the USPS mail system so tickets arrive the week before? Fact - many (thousands to tens of thousands) of transactions have already occurred in the secondary market on yet to be physically delivered GDTS TOO tickets. Presumptive Fact - life ("shit") happens and for unseen reasons, good-willing folks who wanted to go to Chicago for the 7/4 weekend will be unable to go to the shows. Answers - the GDTS TOO mails with batch #'s clearly stated "Your commemorative tickets will arrive in June." Does anyone have any credible information to confirm what is being rumored now of a "late June" arrival of tickets via USPS? Thanks in advance...

Heard it from friends traveling from Washington to the shows taking time to camp along the way. Not sure the original source that's why I posted to see if true. They are worried tickets now not arriving in time to leave a week early as planned. Maybe it really is just a rumor (like west coast shows). I'd like to know since I purchased a ticket from secondary market before mail order complete just in case I got shut out which I did! I did purchase ticket insurance for the broker ticket and it's guaranteed fed ex delivery overnight. Not sure if I will get my money back if it doesn't arrive in time I will need to check. Wish I had it delivered it to my hotel in Chicago to be sure. My other ticket is CID and I got ticket insurance for that as well but the CID tickets are picked up at the venue in person with ID and payment info so that should be okay.

I don't know about the rumor about how late the tickets will be sent from GDTS TOO, but here is what I do know. My friend ordered tix through the Bears pre-sale and forwarded me the receipt. It says that commemorative tickets (apparently Bears pre-sale gets the commemorative ones, too) will be mailed out in mid-June. So they are clearly pushing ticket mailing to a late date. Interesting way to combat scalpers. If true, this suggests that there will be tickets available in the lot. If they don't get them until a couple days beforehand, they are going to have to unload them in the lot. There will also be plenty of Heads with extras that they did not have a chance to pass along. It certainly doesn't make it easier for those who need to make travel arrangements, but it could make life hard on scalpers. Other business, the Meet Up announcement. That 1989 Alpine run was amazing. I hope they release all of it in pristine audio with dvd/blueray.

is back. He reduced his price from $2,025 to $1,999.99 after having his listings removed previously. He was the one complaining about Deadheads being mean to him in emails. Read the very bottom of his listing, "(EBAY PERSONNEL PLEASE SEE NOTES ON SELLER'S ACCOUNT AUTHORIZING THIS LISTING)" There are not very many listings currently on Ebay.

I made him an offer of $300 a night. I figure that is a nice way to remind him he is ridiculous. On the off chance that he is kind it would be a decent deal. I encourage everyone to make him reasonable or really low offers flood him with offers. Make him an offer he can only refuse !! Operation "Offer blitz 2015 !!" Strange that he is selling 3 seats. He probably got 4. Is he going? If so we should buy the seats and have a half time show where we feed the scalpers to the lions. ;-) He is a season ticket holder and sells his Bears tickets as well, if you look at his other items. By the way at $300 a night he would be making a decent profit for doing nothing but clicking on a few web pages. The other fun thing we could do is buy one of his bears tickets and then run out on the field. The Bears revoked a season ticket holders tickets for that behavior. I guess they hold the season ticket holder responsible for the behavior of the secondary buyer. We could target all bears PSL holders who are subsidizing their business on the backs of dead heads in a similar pranksterish fashion. Headlines read "Yet another Bears game interrupted by angry Dead Head running naked out onto the field" The PSL (season ticket) holder presale scenario really sucked. I found myself looking at season tickets for Levi stadium when I thought that was going to happen. I was like, become a Season Ticket PSL holder, get these tickets and then sell the PSL back. What a mixed up messed up world. This ticket market is more gamed than the stock market.

There are no answers only questions... Don't expect any communication from anyone about anything specific to these shows, tickets or any other related announcements. Conjecture and guess all you want, but don't expect anyone (on the other side) with knowledge to respond.

spascarella, and anyone else buying from Ebay, beware that sellers can and will keep your money without sending tickets if you let the 45 day period to open a claim come and go. As the shows come and go, we will here about dozens, if not hundreds, of people who were ripped off and who Ebay did not back. Ebay will tell you that the 45 day period to open a claim is over, and the seller will keep your money without any recourse left for the buyer. THis also happened in 2009 when Phish reunited, and scores of people got burnt, myself included, although threatening litigation on the seller inspired him to send me my refund. This is real. And people will get burned unless they know how the paypal/ebay system works, which these criminal sellers do, and have no plans of shipping tickets, and will list and sell the same ticket multiple times. Please share with the community. Thx

eBay Money Back Guarantee timelinesAccording to 2nd paragraph below, you should be ok if you buy from Ebay. Of course, not getting tickets kind of ruins the show for you, especially if you've booked everything. Item not received A buyer can report in My eBay that they didn't receive an item once the item's latest estimated delivery date has passed, and for 30 days after the latest estimated delivery date. For event tickets, a buyer must report that they didn't receive the tickets no later than 7 days after the event date or 30 days from the latest estimated delivery date, whichever is later. The seller has 3 business days from the report to respond to the buyer or offer a solution. If the seller does not respond or offer a solution, the buyer can ask us to step in and help. If the buyer doesn't ask us to step in and help within 30 days of reporting that they didn't receive an item, the request closes automatically.

LMFAO. Hey. It's gonna be June 20, 21 or both for all those trying to reserve rooms. Maybe you should reserve the whole city around all venues just to make sure. [insert tongue into cheek here]. Seriously Hornsby just cancelled a show 1,2,3 GO! Kalling all Klangs!

I agree with estimated as the Alpine Valley 89 shows were some of the best i ever saw and they should release the three shows as a box set, but 1988 four show run was great too. Sure, you could argue 89 was better and a clear stand out from that summer tour, but seeing four shows over five nights with an anything goes parking lot (OK, not quite like 86 or 87 up there, but still) was simply amazing. Oh, and it does appear that the Santa Clara shows will happen, just not on the dates originally announced. Keep your fingers crossed my west coast brothers and sisters. http://www.inforum.com/variety/events/3717540-bruce-hornsby-cancels-jun…

Posts on facebook Fare Thee Well Santa Clara page say the shows will be announced tomorrow. And, in case you missed it, see the post below from 4/6. Not sure who Festival Forecaster is, but there may be another reason Hornsby cancelled his 6/20 gig. The Festival Forecaster Today!!! " We also have more news on the upcoming Grateful Dead concerts this Summer. In our last discussion, we forecast additional events featuring some or all members of the Dead both in June and later this Summer and Fall. While we still anticipate additional anniversary events of some sort later this year, including at Summer festivals like Lockn' and perhaps The Peach (but not Outside Lands), we are now growing more confident in the possibility of a short cross-country tour in June, leading up to the July 4th weekend. As said before, we have some confidence that there will be "Grateful Dead" concerts the weekend before Chicago at Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area, likely involving most or all of the same lineup featuring Phish's Trey Anastasio, the Dead's Phil Lesh, and Bruce Hornsby. If there are additional shows preceding those events, however, some or all may involve a slightly different lineup with different guitar, bass, and keyboard players. Assuming the deal goes down, we think the schedule will look something like this: 6/13 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Manchester, TN? 6/15-16 Mann Music Center, Philadelphia, PA? 6/18 Live Earth Festival, MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ 6/19-21 (2 shows?) Citi Field, New York, NY 6/22-25 (3 shows?) Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO 6/26-28 (2 shows, probably the 27th and 28th) Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA We expect the Levi's Stadium and possibly additional shows to be announced very soon."

"Due to a scheduling conflict the Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers show scheduled for June 19th has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience. The Box Office will be in touch to refund tickets purchased over the phone or in person. Tickets purchased online will be refunded automatically." Furthermore, Bruce Hornsby's planned June 20th performance in Fargo, North Dakota has been cancelled due to a "scheduling conflict" as well. Looks like he's freeing himself up for something at the end of June.

Too soon to say the hotel for June 27-28 is wrong weekend. The report below says same weekend as Bill W.'s rumor. And that's all this is, A RUMOR! Calling BS (again) until there is an official announcement. And I will believe the announcement when I f#ckin' hear it. That is, if there even will be an announcement. Personally I don't think anyone in the organization even knows what the words "announcement" means.

It's almost been a year since The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir, a documentary about Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. We haven't heard much about where Deadheads can view the film outside of a few other film festivals since it's premiere, but now comes word the film will be featured exclusively on Netflix. Netflix will start offering subscribers the ability to view The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir on Friday, May 22

No announcement means nothing to announce. If a new date gets set up, you can bet it will be announced. Seems straightforward to me. All you rumor mill cats are tail-spinning beyond rational belief. But one question: when are you actually going to take that promised break from the chat? My hankie is already soaked from crying for you.

... To the May 4th GD meet-up at the movies. It's not Chicago's Soldier Field tickets, but after being shut-out of everything so far, it sure felt good to get tickets! And I will definitely be arriving early to look for anyone with Chicago extras!

After Hornsby's coincidental cancellations it does look promising for more shows and many more smiles. I for one would love to see them show some west coast and local heads some love, not a west coast guy or hater. I assumed mail order was primarily for west coast due to the small window of acceptance but let's not open that door. All in all they need to practice as a deadicated cohesive unit and am for as much shows as possible before Chicago for them to tighten up. So sending up some prayers for something to happen. I say a Warlocks show with only tickets at the door.

hey brothers and sisters- dont expect anything too dramatic in today's announcement and don't let your hopes get too high. its still only a 50/50 shot on added shows. this could all just be about simulcast deal. peace

I hope that there is wonderful news for all today. Most of all, I hope for a final closure.

50/50 is flipping a coin. There is no chance involved here. This is more like 95/5. There is a whole lot of compass points pointing to more shows. 10? I don't know where that rumor came from, but I call bullshit. If it turns out to be 5/95 odds, there is a 100/1 shot the Mayor Klangmeister will drive a motorcycle into the Pacific Ocean screaming "I am the Wizard!" Announcing a simulcast is not major news, so my bets are on our esteemed sometimes here/sometimes not Mayor not riding off into the Pacific sunset. What is 100% certain is I will be in Chicago!

Me taking a break means not being here as often or for long periods of time. I still plan to pop in to keep abreast of what's happening. But apparently nothing is.
