I been around the world I've seen a million girls Ain't one of them got What my lady she got She stealin' the spotlight Knocks me of my feet She's enough to start a landslide Just a walkin' down the street Wearin' dresses so tight And lookin' dynamite About to blow me out No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm She's like a lethal brand Too much for any man She gives me first degree She really satisfy me Love me till I'm legless Achin' and sore Enough to stop a freight train Or start the third world war You know I'm losin' sleep But I'm in too deep Like a body needs blood No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm You know she move like sin And when she let me in It's like liquid love No doubt about it can't live without it The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) The girls got rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) The girls got rhythm You know she really got the rhythm (girls got rhythm) She got the back seat rhythm (back seat rhythm) Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock 'n' roll rhythm) The girls got rhythm rrrrrgrrrrr has lost his mind.....Sarge has left the building.....

I am a changed person

After meeting the SD group in person and experiencing the best concert experience I have ever been to, I have to admit I am the better man for it. So many kind people, so much coolness and kindness and love. I am the better man for it. So many amazing things went down, the vibe was one I have never felt before. So for someone to say that any of these were not Grateful Dead shows, it's all bullshit. I was there, man, it was the dead in just about every aspect, in some ways it was way better than the mid-nineties scene. When I hear about people (like that jackass Terry Boers) bashing on this band or the event in general, I just laugh. Some people just don't get it. I get it, and I got it 10-fold at FTW, a fantastic spectacle it was... I am so blessed to have been part of it...

@ Goodnight and Good luck

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Here in STL ...it looks like rain. Don't ask me What you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never tear us apart We could live For a thousand years But if I hurt you I'd make wine from your tears I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why I I was standing You were there Two worlds collided And they could never ever tear us apart

more changes

I'm moving through some changes I'll never be the same Something you did touched me There's no one else to blame The love we had has fallen The love we used to share We've given up pretending As if you didn't care Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes I look into the mirror I see no happiness All the warmth I gave you Has turned to emptiness The love we had has fallen The love we used to share You've left me here believing In love that wasn't there Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word can bring you round Changes But when I look into your eyes and try to find out how There's no way to save it now and everything I feel Changes Keep looking for Changes Changes For some reason you're questioning why I always believe it gets better One difference between you and I Your heart is inside your head One word from you, one word from me A clear design on your liberty Who could believe when love has gone How we move on like everyone Only such fools Only such jealous hearts Only through love changes come Change changing places Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes One road to loneliness It's always the same One road to happiness It's calling your name Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Capitalize on this good fortune One word can bring you round Changes Change changing places Changes Root yourself to the ground Word to the wise, well you get what's coming One word, one word can bring you round Changes YES!

@Motel Shot.....

found the LP for 25 cents back in 1980..... In my top 5 ever since.....along with Abbey Road, Layla....and two others..... Stan, I think we are Siamese twins separated at birth.... I was standing by the window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For that body you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go Well I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in that grave I went back home Lord that home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone

Shapiro on Grateful Dead Channel

Dude on SiriusXM Grateful dead Channel. Live now.......

Nothin' To Worry About Mr. Mayor

This party is going to work out real smooth. Just exactly perfect. If not, it will be an epic catastrophe. We only hope if there are resulting prison sentences that they aren't to harsh.

If I'm in, you'll see me on Divorce Court

So see ya in Santa Clara! Not really, about Santa Clara. Focusing on a long Chicago weekend and paying for Summer camps. Good luck everyone!

Got the better half blessing....put in for 2 nights lottery...but gotta stay with Langley...otherwise cardboard box.... Gonna be a busy 3 weeks Santa Clara, Chicago and Glimmer Twins in da Buff..... Satisfaction!

NO SC for me, peeps....

Happy with Chicago then 10 days in Aug for Sturgis - these ole bones can't take any more. Oh man, that's it - the dead need to play @ The Buffalo Chip !!!

@Foghorn

If the Dead come to the Buff...the back 40 is yours....already have those maple leaves in the spare bedroom but plenty of camping space for all.... California...prophet on the burning shore....

Why not?

Let the ticket hunt, part deux, commence in t-minus two one go! I hope I have enough good karma to sustain a double miracle find....

An Open Lottery

My thinking is: secure as many tickets as possible in the hands of True Heads through the lottery, then get busy in a massive swap meet with Californians holding Chi-town tickets who would rather trade and stay close to home. Let's secure those new tickets, folks.

Wouldn't That Be Something, FTW 50th / Sturgis 75th

I'd have to roll the Iron Horse out and pack the saddlebags for that one. Polish up the custom made Jerry Garcia air cleaner cover and SYF derby cover and head to the Badland's a third time.

@ tfonts

Same here. Just gonna enjoy chicago for whatever happens and go back home

haha!

Some pretty funny posts here! Would have to clear it with my wife...(good luck) Great news indeed!

@Klang

Here it comes, here it comes.....it's just your 19th nervous breakdown.... As Michael Jackson sang.... I'll be there....

This Ain't No Joke / Tsunami Warning

Party is on!!!! You better get back on KFOG, they are making hourly announcements giving details on your festival extravaganza. This is way to big to stop. Give Mrs. Klangstone a big kiss for T-horse. Don't Turn Around, Wah Uh Oh, Der Kommisar is back in town Wah, Uh, Oh

@SSDDers

I have a little free time tonight. I was thinking of re-editing Buzz and have been looking into making a flag. What says the SSDDers?

@Totes

Carry on my wayward son.... Bus on autopilot and Sgt Pupper riding shotgun..... What could go wrong....? Oh oh Donna on the radio..... Ooooohhyeahhhhhhhayyyahhh... Hey dog keep your eyes on the road and your paws upon the wheel!!!

Great Idea

Adds nice touch to the festive atmosphere. This is a wonderful group of people on an amazing outing.

@Ed

bark bark bark..... Here fido....

@ totes...

Flag away, brother - great call !! Wave it wide and high...

red and white!!

Blue.....

Suede shoes..... Welcome back brah.... Now shake the hand that shook the hand..... Of geomeister and klangman chan!!!!

Rip Van Winkle

What the hell? I take a few hours out of my FTW obsession to see my Orioles get smacked in the kiester by a flock of Canadian ballplayers... and the whole galactic paradigm shifts! web service was down on my phone, now i'm hours behind on the next wave of anxiety. Can I/Should I go? I'll definitely put in for tix, Graceful is spot on with that, they can always be shared by those not looking to exploit. Can someone help me clear these flight/hotel searches from my browser history before the wife gets home?. I miss Jerry.

Chris...

No disrespect to the great white north, eh? Bunch of us are in for the west..... I'm going lottery, so's #88, seems Nanuk and a few others went CID VIP... It's all good.... We are all VIPs in Klangland.... And I know

SNAFU

Dear Abby, Less than six hours ago everything was stable. All navigation systems were programmed and functioning perfectly. Compass pointed to Terrapin. Now east and west are all screwed up. Target destination is permanently fixed on Chicago. And that's just the way I want it. And now I'm trying to plot a course that gets us to Chicago via Santa Clara. Please help me Abby cause all I have now is an obnoxious horse giving me advice.

Screw Dear Abby...

Dear Abby and her sister Ann Landers are trying to score extra ducats to Levi's....they bought CID VIP....with a handful of our SD crew....who needs them.... Once, we were one in body and one in purpose....so what, we whack ten or so names off the shirt....Tami make it happen....grrrrrrrlllll. Scrap the design, screw the fountain and let's all go solo....Jeff and Tami worked hard, but hey the Dead are going home and giving back to the left coast...as they should....we don't matter. We don't know each other, we are a motley crew of obsessed strangers, friends without faces who are jeopardizing our retirement, marriages, careers and lives, all for one final weekend celebrating a band that ended in 1995.....and the leader of the band is dead for God sakes..... This is going down the shitter quick Dudley.....was it Santa Clara or Mr. Ed...or David Gans....I don't know..... And if it does.... It doesn't make up for the fact that I still am a Deadhead and I miss Jerry..... My name is staying on the shirt and I will be in Chicago.... Who's with me.....

I got your back, Rgggggggggrrrrrrr

I'm there (hell I'm already here)...and maybe way over there....look left.

I Hear Ya Bluto

Just hope it doesn't turn out like the time you fired up the frat house, said them same words, who's with me, and charged out of the room. You aren't wearing a toga right now are you?

Chris

Look for much of that keister kicking to continue through the weekend.Go Jays!

@T Horse

Food fight.... Beefarino for all..... I'm goin commando here! Chicago or bust... Ok so we got 88, Dudley the horse, Nell n me.... So we whack 26 names.... We're all good, I'd like to add Sgt. Pupper.....

@ Mad Swan

Dude, just get the wife an SD t-shirt. It works!

I'm still in for FTW

if i can ever get confirmation of my tix! i have copies of my cashed MOs...still no email from Elvis though. GO TRIBE!

I'm coming to Chicago!

And my name should still be on the shirt, unless tfonts has it removed for my insubordination!

@roll call

I'm in dammit! And I'm bringing a damn strawberry cream cheese pie dammit! And plastic forks too dammit!

@rrrgrrr

Why all this hockey talk eh? It's Baseball Season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCBIRcFlD-E

@Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Life is all about compromise. This old adage worked beautifully. My gal has been a life-long Cubbie fan. I don't follow baseball until the playoffs begin. She likes the Grateful Dead but is far from being a fanatic (like me). The last big thing on her bucket list is seeing the Cubs at Wrigley Field, she has wanted to do this for over fifty years. I score the Cubs tickets and before she's recovered I hit her with the news that the Dead are going to be there that same weekend. What a surprise. Oh no, it's going to be the last time I can ever see them. I now have a green light to search for tickets almost no matter what the cost. She still thinks the main reason for going to Chicago is to see the Cubs. Small price to pay, I think.

@JM

Nice, you're in like Flynn! I too have a similar sitch with the wife, she likes 'em to a point but not nearly to the level that I revel.

Too much exciting

Today was such a good day I could hardly contain it. Good thing there is a river mote of posts and notes here to calm me down... can't get through them all I'm skimming most. 6 day work weeks got me taaahred... gotta get that dough though! No scalping for me, no sireeee. Either I or a family member in the show on my tickets. Can't wait to see if we all get tickets to SC... My t-shirt line will be incorrect then but small price, eh? Can't wait to see you guys in the park. Looks like we will literally have our flag flying high thanks to Totem? Trying to map out if one of us can stash some brightly colored umbrellas at the ho-tel. Good for spotting each other and a spot in the shade. Peace and nightzzz

ca and Chicago

hey how many are trying to do both shows I am trying sent in request hopefully they will come thru would be great to make a week of great music

So Many Roads to ease our souls....

Morning campers....Oooooh my, what a day ithat was. Left coasters in a frenzy, east coasters hopes dashed....a new round of anticipation, and possible heartbreak. I can't do CID two weeks in a row but can do a lottery and leave on a jet plane.... or miracle a Few.... I propose a separate forum to discuss Levi Stadium plans..... As we get closer to the shows, these subforums will have more specifics re. our respective Crusades.... It will preserve the spirit of SD and allow the character of Levi to develop a life of its own.... Wishing everyone a blessed Saturday... so which way do we go, George? We're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese and wonderfully clean in the morning.....

83 Days to Go

(((and less for the Santa Clara bound))) Patch those sails, shine those rails, and bondo the van! The Sunshine Daydreamers are hitting the road again. cue Willie

Ye Choices @ rgrgrgrr

Good Morning All! A glorious sunrise, and a wonderful Saturday to you. First things first....We Are Sunshine Daydreamers, whether we are the left coasters or the Chi-dreamers, we are one and won are we. We stay true to our roots, this forum, and post away in all abandon. 'cept you rgrrrgrrgr, you gotta drive. And a fine job you are doing. Steady on, Daddio, keep on course, stopover in Santa Scara for a field trip to see the Californai hippies, then onward to Chicago. Our T-shirt might be just fine. Our vision certainly is. A mini-tour for the Dead, a choice for us all, and music to rock our souls. Let's see how things shake down Rjjjrrrrjjjr and all. We'll talk it up on the email thread and then go public. If the cats and kittens wanna play elsewhere, because there is another weekend to party, then so-be-it. We can do both here just fine. Maybe the left side of the bus can be the SC-bound folks, and the right-righteous side be the Chi-town Irregulars. ciao, tally ho, pass the sugar, thanks. Geoallisokmeister

@totes...

That flag has a nice buzz to it.... Have a great weekend to you and yours.... Hey Willie...buzzed already it's not even 9 am.... sing it.... "Roll me up and smoke me when I'm gone" Not that one.... Making music with my friends and I can't wait to get on the road again.....

@All

The wizard has spoken.... Come one come all, step right up, step right up.... Georgie, I'm our driving wheel.... But gonna trade in these wheels for a double decker.... More room to roam.... Next step..... Ahhh, who cares as long as we're together..... Hey JeffTOOO ( the other other one) Need some speakers up top.... Too much...the magic bus!!!!!

strawberry cream cheese pie...

strawberry cream cheese pie sounds delicious, although probably too far back in the thread to be relevant. i doubt it cares. so happy for you left-coasters!! A "nya nya" to those that sneered at the notion that the band actually does give a crap about its family. joining Stella in the six-day grind (although i'm salaried so who's it all for anyway?) gotta focus, so a passing wave, and back to the path right foggy.

I'm in officially and other stuff

I got the official word from Elvis 2 a.m....I'm in for FTW!!! Apparently, I'm one of the knuckleheads who did not list his email on the 3x5. So ... for the extra anguish wondering if I'm in or out... I blem myself. My email number was #33!!!! So I could have known 2 months ago. what an idiot. Anyway, I'll see you all in Chicago...I can say confidently now. I f. I feel really lucky. Other stuff. I can't make SC. But we did make 2 hotel reservations just in case, which my wife just cancelled. Grab em if you need em and if they're still there... Hilton and Marriott, Santa Clara

@mkav

Wow, good news indeed....#33....incredible brother..... How do you like our new bus.... Hope you don't mind....but we will be making a stop in Santa Clara....before Chicago, No tix no problem, Shapiro promised me a live feed on the big screen we are hooking up ....so you can hang on the bus in the lot and get the best of both worlds....double fun (Robert Palmer reference) Hey hey Julia...you're looking so peculiar!
