Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary

How bout a Ripple??

Hey Front Row Joe, How bout a Ripple?? I heard a pretty cool up tempo version from Phil in 2013. Pretty cool arrangement. Here Comes Sunshine would be nice too. Crazy Fingers too. And Candyman.

Everyone chill

Hey Now,Put those bad vibes in a box or something. A quick scan of the comments on here and you'd think deadheads were a bunch of whining babies and also a bunch of jerks. Gate crashing? Really? Even in jest it isn't funny, and anyone who attended the last few shows (Deer Creek anyone) knows that Jerry didn't want that shit, and guess what, if you ever were a fan of this band, you wouldn't ever suggest it. I was there when the walls caved in and it wasn't a pretty site to see. If you think this isn't the Grateful Dead, well, guess what? You're right, so quit your bitching and don't go. And for those that mail ordered and got shut out, I feel your pain, but try getting tickets through TicketMaster or standing in line at the box office on the 28th. Otherwise rejoice in the fact that Bobby, Billy, Phil, and Mickey put their arguments aside even if it is only for a weekend in July. And now, for something completely different. My personal picks for steeliest. Yeah, this will hopefully be the only miracle I'll need.

not expecting anything

Sorry to get people hopes up that I was disappearing. I check the forum everyday but not gonna spend as much time as I was doing. I see my rants about Santa Clara and the lack of communication regarding an announcement have fallen negatively upon some folks. For that I apologize. Will try to keep the posts to a minimum (as with the complaints as well). Hoping for an announcement, but expecting nothing. I was hoping for an announcement sooner than later so that maybe the current ticket prices would drop and availability of better seats would increase. But I know now what I want is completely irrelevant...(I will have to come to terms with that)

Just A Cup Of Cold Coffee

As you fixate on the TicketMaster spinning wheel. One minute later, Sold Out appears on the screen.

And one more time...

"I got no chance of losing this time".

Klangstone!

Where there's life there's hope.... Unlikely Gans/Lambert are gonna take an hour or two to say ....well you can buy the simulcast at $30 per night or $200 for the 3 day package...but the 3 day gives MP3 downloads... Jeez I hope it's not that....but compared to the 5+'grand I have invested in 3 days of my life it's a bargain.... The best I ever had.... I miss Keith Moon too.....

Yaaaaaay

Finally some good news! (and I no longer care about what Gans and co have to say...) http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/netflix-acquires-documentary-about…

K-FOG Says

MAJOR concert announcement coming up. It looks like Bill Walton is hitting the big time with his band!

Santa Clara

Not sure if this is real or a hoax, but would be rather elaborate for a hoax. http://cidgd50.shop.ticketstoday.com/calendar.aspx

Santa Clara is On!!

Listening as we speak.

Santa Clara a Go?!!!!!!

This looks official. http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/gratefuldead50-santaclara/

Here we go!!!

Booked room two weeks ago!!! YAY!!!! For all the No Cal Bay area HEADS!! HERE WE GO!!

Santa Clara

CID just sent the email - it's official

Dates

Eric, are the dates the same as the rumor? Waiting for the KFOG announcement.

Santa Clara

Just received the e-mail from CID offering VIP packages for Levi Stadium, 6/27 & 28

santa clara

Here you go. Good luck to all: http://www.dead50.net/

Just wondering....

If I can go to CID directly they're based here in Philly at Broad & Market in Center City Philadelphia. I live about a 1/2 hour away.

CID Entertainment Packages on sale now

If you want one, go now. http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/gratefuldead50-santaclara/

Somebody PLEASE buy Klang one

Last Fair Deal in the City

Order in. System worked like a charm. No spinning wheels, no rush (either online or to the post office), confirmation of order already in hand, and at least a chance to complete with the scalpers. Thanks to the everyone behind the scenes who took a giant step back and delivered. I'm sure there will still be issues, but all in all a much superior approach. Good luck to everyone.

Dates

June 27-28

!

Here we go again, hopefully I have better luck this time haha.

peace dead heads

Yes we are here ...beautiful Friday.cant stop smiling.

Looks Fair this time

NO TM so may actually be fair this time...CID still available though way out of my league for paying for a ticket (not interested in $1000 for 2 days...) but put my name in the hat for 1 ticket each day...lets see. I am cautiously optimistic. Good luck Klanger

Santa Clara

I'm just happy to have a chance this time. If it does not work out wasn't meant to be. God bless the Grateful Dead.

CID Tickets

The real question i have is: If you put yourself into the pool and you come out a winner, have you then actually bought the tickets, or do you have a choice to say no at that point?? If you can't go, then is it a serious hassle to sell the tickets even for cost?

Anyone else still in limbo?

I have not gotten a Chicago rejection letter yet, nor have I gotten a confirmation e-mail. At this point all I care about is that my original letter requesting tickets did not get lost in the mail. Are there others of you still waiting...one way or another? Sorry if this has been covered recently...

Dire

My understanding is you win em you bought em...non refundable....

@whiners

Let's not start complaining about Santa Clara already. Just freekin go with it already. Geeesh You're on the bus or You're off the bus ding ding ding

CID Packages

I went ahead and bought the Sunshine Daydream Travel Package for the Plaza Suites. I have frequent flyer miles to cover the airfare so I'm in. I'll go to Chicago if prices come down. Steve

Poised for flight, wings spread bright!

Grate to see the announcement and sending blessings out to the good folk who are working on making the show! We all need this :) :) :)

@Steve

Steve's on the bus! congrats. Nothing wrong with springing for a CID package

On tour?

Just realized I have hotel rooms at both venues but no tickets! WTF, FTW! Well, I think it will work out fine. I'll only be going to Santa Clara if I get tix though. Chicago I'm in with the rest of the Daydreamers regardless.

@ Will in Limbo

There are a few left around Cue Mkav And a forum thread

@on tour

Bob, I had a CID package in the cart and had the same question. If it was an east coast show, I'd have pulled the trigger. Glad some on us can do both sets of dates! If I change my mind, check PMs for me politely asking for floor space. See you in Chicago with the SSDDers! (and Buzz)

@steve

See you by the pool. Got same package.

Santa Clara going to help Chicago Heads with no Tickets

Stub Hub Total Tickets for Sale. Fri, Sat, Sun & 3 Day March 7 – 5245 March 31 - 6022 April 9 – 6353 April 10 - 6426 Plus 73 more tickets added from just yesterday!!!! Getting close to 1000 more available than March 7. June will be the Sweet Spot!!!

look at the rats leaving the ship

The cost for an obstructed view 2 day pass just dropped to around $800...oh well I would prefer SFO I think over ORD I think, closer to home and if I am coming to the US, SFO is on the list of places I would like to visit...been to ORD.

@Lady

Glad you are back....

@wolf

just out of curiosity - what % of those seats are no/obstructed view? im guessing 80-90%?

@spascarella

check your inbox please

I Wish Which Ever Works Best For You

Hopefully you find just what you want. Today's announcement should help to make it happen. I was so looking forward to meeting you and having one of your espresso's. Best Wishes.

NICE!

Very nicely worded and genuine announcement. Thanks boys, for the message. We all needed it and it was nice to read.

set list

This adds a multitude of options of what everyone will hear. Love the anticipation!Cheers to all going to Cali.

not to worry...

...Klang is off the complaint bus. On the side of the road, contemplating getting back on the 'dreamer bus. Hopefully Dire Wolf won't murder me and rrrggrrr won't leave my dead ass by the side of the road. NO more rants about Santa Clara or not having a ticket. The boys are doing their best to deter the scalpers, this is great news. Can't ask anymore from them. It took awhile but we got our announcement. All is good and right in the GD world. I have a ticket for Friday and a possible ticket for Saturday. Thanks for the Friday miracle, you know who you are! Happy Friday all!

Klang...,

I promise, I would bury your dead ass...I'm a planeteer.... Used to do Earth Day Central Park when the Airplane/Starship played for free.... Thanks to those who let me cut class in high school... One pill makes you larger.... Who knew it was the first Viagra jingle.... rrrrrgrrrrr out! Hope to see some in Cali.... And others in Chitown.....
