    New York was cold and dampTV is just a blank Looks like another dead end Sunday What about an early night Monday never feels so bright Ooh the sheets feel cold and lonely Who wants to brave the pouring rain For a glass of French champagne? Well grab a cab, grab a cap and baby, come right by And she was hot - as she kissed my mouth She was hot - as I wiped her brow She was hot - she pinned me to the ground She was quick - she knew her way around She was hot - as she tore my clothes She was hot - she had no place to go She was hot - on a cold and rainy night Detroit was smoky grey Nothing like the good old days Well I got a fever that I'm fighting I don't need your company Leave me in my misery I can take the rebound just like lightning And she was hot - in a 50's dress She was hot - her lips were flashing red I was lost - in her burning flesh I was hot - I was dripping sweat She was hot - in the Detroit snow She was hot - she had no place to go She was hot - on a cold and rainy night And she was hot - and I had the blues She was hot - honey, where were you? If you were in my shoes You would be excused She was hot - you can never wait She was hot - never hesitate She was hot - on a cold and rainy night I think I'm going off the rails Riding down the pleasure trails I was taking passion where you find it Honey when you were young and fresh And you need the touch of your flesh Go take the treasure where you find it And she was hot - in the melted snow She was hot - in the molten glow She was hot - she got it in the blood She was hot - like the dam that bursts She was black - she was strong and true She was black - and her eyes were blue She was lost - and she took a chance At just a brief romance Down the avenue into the lost bayou Into the tall bamboo, back to the human zoo I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again On a cold Chicago night She was hot She was hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot

    I can't quit herShe's got a hold on me She got her hand on my soul I can't quit her 'Cause I see her face everywhere I go In the city streets, in the country fields In the back of my mind I know it can't be real For a woman to possess All the tenderness she had But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'Cause it's been so long Since I had her back beside me Yeah, I know I can't quit her 'Cause on my darkest night She comes on like a light I can't quit her Try as I may, with all my might She had a woman's touch And a young girls eyes And in seconds flat I was proselytized Turned around And made to feel sweet love But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'Cause it's been so long Since I had her back beside me yeah True love is somethin' Ev'ry young boy knows about And he fights his whole soul all the best to find some I was a young boy 'Til I held her in my arms Now I find that I'm strung out behind some, hey I can't quit her She got her hand on me She got a hold on my soul 'Cause I your face everywhere I go I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah, I know You know I see your face Everywhere I go! I need her...I need the little girl

    So Chicago bomb and arson squad was called out on Wednesday to examine an empty cannister close to Soldier Field..authorities were relieved to find it wasn't a bomb...only an empty laughing gas tank. Imagine that.... Are they blind, how could they have missed that when it was going on unfortunately all weekend. They were not being inconspicous at all. Balloons everywhere and guys like ice cold..right here. Damn shame, hippy crack that is. A laugh for the way my life has gone A laugh for the love of a friend A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world The love that will never end Ha Ha Ha... Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world Who thinks he can make things work Tried to build the New Jerusalem And ended up with New York Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the sun redballing Through the thermal inversion haze A laugh for the nuclear good-time boys Numbering all our days Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the newsprint nightmare A world that never was Where the questions are all "why?" And the answers are all "because." Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels They don't know where we've been A laugh for the dirty window pane Hiding the love within Ha Ha Ha... Tapping our feet to an ancient tune A laugh for the time gone by A laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room Waiting for the child's first cry Ha Ha Ha...

3:00 PM I am listening on live stream, and feel like I am on a crazy rollercoaster. Was there this much drama back in the day ? This is crazy.. I have the radio on the internet, 2,000 dollars in cash, an index card, a collection of sharpies, kayak open in a browser to book travel, good god I need some xanax to calm myself down. -- Tom

Ours wasn’t just a long, strange trip — it was a VERY long, VERY strange trip. We weren’t sure what it was going to be like to put a punctuation mark on the end of it. None of us anticipated the overwhelming outpouring of love and interest following our initial announcement of the shows at Soldier Field, and we were blown away by the response. We have tried to do the right thing wherever we could for the Chicago shows by honoring the roots of where we came from, while dealing with the realities of the current times. But that’s hardly comforting when you’re shit outta luck for tickets and your only option is inflated prices on secondary ticketing websites. That would piss us off too. From the moment these shows were first talked about, we have been thinking about what we could do to honor the roots of our Deadhead experience, even in the face of changing technologies. (Remember: Ticketmaster didn’t even go online until we got out of the game.) These shows were always intended as an expression of our gratitude, to both the music and the fans, so it’s important that we get things as right as we can. We have always been proud of our in-house mail order ticketing process, and the phenomenal way our fans have built a tradition out of turning a standard envelope into a frame-worthy piece of art. Some 60,000 mail order tickets were issued for the Soldier Field shows by the good folks at Grateful Dead Ticket Sales — yet we were still crushed to see how many of your beautifully designed envelopes did not get tickets. For shows of this magnitude, it’s impossible to eliminate every scalper. However, we offer you this: Working with our partners, we are using an online ticketing platform for the Levi’s shows that will help ensure that the tickets for these shows will get into the right hands, the hands of our true fans. We believe that this process is the best way to give each of you an equal opportunity to obtain tickets at the most affordable possible prices. We are are proud to announce that 65,000 tickets per night will be available via the "online mail order" for the Levi’s shows. For the nuts and bolts, go to Dead50.net. We will not be adding any more Fare Thee Well shows. The three Chicago shows will still be our final stand. We decided to add these two Santa Clara shows to enable more of our fans to celebrate with us one more time. But this is it. We love you guys more than words can tell, and hope to see you in the Bay Area or Chicago. If you can’t make it to the shows, we are working on ways for you to still experience our Fare Thee Well, from wherever you might be. Stay tuned for those details. Gratefully yours, Billy, Bobby, Mickey & Phil

A LETTER FROM THE DEAD GratefulDead-SantaClara-480 More Info Santa Clara Chicago Dear Heads, Although none of us knew it when we walked off the stage at Soldier Field on July 9, 1995, the Grateful Dead's long strange trip ended in Chicago that night. As you are aware, twenty years later, we’re returning to Chicago to properly say Fare Thee Well. But every good ending must start with a beginning. For us, it all began fifty years ago when we grabbed a bunch of instruments off the walls of a music store in Palo Alto California and began banging away on them in the back room, at night after the store had closed for the day. Since we made the decision to go back to Chicago to say our final goodbye, it has become clear to us that we first need to return to our beginnings, where we first said hello — to each other and to all of you. And so it is that we have decided to plug in for two additional shows on June 27 and 28 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — just a dozen miles south of where Dana Morgan’s Music Store once stood. At Levi’s — as at Soldier Field — we will have the pleasure of being joined by Trey Anastasio, Bruce Hornsby and Jeff Chimenti. Ours wasn’t just a long, strange trip — it was a VERY long, VERY strange trip. We weren’t sure what it was going to be like to put a punctuation mark on the end of it. None of us anticipated the overwhelming outpouring of love and interest following our initial announcement of the shows at Soldier Field, and we were blown away by the response. We have tried to do the right thing wherever we could for the Chicago shows by honoring the roots of where we came from, while dealing with the realities of the current times.

Get ready to fire the BBQ, paint the parking space lines on the neighbors lawns, and build a stage on your roof. I know of at least 50 psychedelic painted buses headed your way. We need to book some bands with Shapiro. Promise to have the music shut down by 4:00am each night. We understand you have to go on living with your neighbors long after the party is over. We will have to work up a showering schedule for 800 people. We'll need to rent portable showers if more show up. T-Horse is so excited, he's heard about your pool with the high dive. He's already running around wearing his snorkel mask and fins. He's getting away with not doing it here, but I'll see to it he's wearing his swim trunks.
