    @the Roses<It musta been<I don't know
    ahhh....the day after....where is it? Uhoh, gone again...once again it's missing....why? I was really paying attention...I knew it would be so...I was hoping it would come true...we were childlike in anticipation...then it did! Yup they stole my face right off my head...and I do so love it when that happens...where is it? there it is, patiently sitting there next to the smug kitten-purr puppy-waggle head who is smiling from ear to ear...ahhhhhhh...all better now. Digress time, as Shirley says to Stanley, while we gather our thoughts again...there's one!..and get ready for day two.. How can we miss you when you won't go away...please stay, Irene, the diet-challenged lady ain't gonna sing, ever, cause it cannot ever ever ever be over, rover. We don't want to miss you, we want to kiss you and hold you tight: the music, the dance, the song, the laughter, the sharing and caring and love for all of this and that and you and you and you and yes, you too bring to this world; our Dainty Ever-loving Amazing Darling family. How come there are not any locks on ba dus? Because you are welcome to get on anytime, stay as long as you want; no need to luck the doors, nobody ever wants to leave. That's right, Women are smarter! So, about those roses...and the petals...and the ever so sweet fragrance of the Boys singing and playing last night...my oh my, we were treated to a feast at the first sitting, and it was so good. Seeds were planted; we read and remember that there-abouts a band sprouted forth some 50 years ago. We remember with love those who started the garden but left too early...starting with PigPen and ending with Jerry, you will always be here in our hearts... Thank you Bobby and Phil and Billy and Mickey for doing what you have always done so well, for taking us back, for bringing us forward, for pushing it furthur...for keeping it fresh, for surprising us with that song only ever played once before, and thank you for reminding us how timeless and universal the music is. ...round about sometime last Tuesday a fortnight and three score or more days ago we saw this shiny dus pull up outside, with a briver who had a twinkle in his eye and a song on his heart. Springing forth like a box load of excited puppies dumped on the carpet of life before us, we scrambled around, rolling and prancing and dancing and dashing and wagging our little tails we all got to know each other. An oreo? A cuppa Joe, a spot of brew? A hug, a smile, an extended hand? Why sure, for we were apart, and now we are together. Turn up the Dass, briver, this is the good part. Last night we gathered from all across the land and became one again. Thank you for being part of the whole...and let's do it again and again and again and again... geoyesweareallplayinginthebandmeister

    oh, you're here.....morning...Sunday I guess.... Coffee is on....thanks geosomuchfunlastnightwishyouwereatourbuddyohwaityouaremeister, Miami kid you are worthy, Stan and Totes....n all you in SC.... I feel invigorated, refreshed and spent... Dominant and violated.... Trey, I love you, man.... Where have you been all my life..... BTW Stellz.....see that rainbow?.....came in colors everywhere...... Just like the days of old..... Drink all day and rock all night..... That's how the song goes.... Now get your rest, Sarge move over, Stella needs her rest..... Now that your up Pup.... let's go back to where it all began, just like the boys did last night.... the book of Genesis... The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Though many times they've seen the way to leave. He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy, To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair, The scene of death is lying just below. The mountain cuts off the town from view, Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. Let it be revealed. A waterfall, his madrigal. An inland sea, his symphony. Undinal songs Urge the sailors on Till lured by sirens' cry. Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away. The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change.

    Your heart felt good
    It was dripping pitch and made of woodAnd your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water, didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how The universe is shaped exactly like the earth if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

Go west young man. Let me know if your logistical needs include a hotel room. No tickets for Santa Clara for me, but truth is that was the smartest option. Clear path to Chicago now, I'm happy. I was standing in line with Mr. rrrrrgrrr

congrats to those who made it. too bad to those who did not. your own fault who didn't even try (me). but as others have said, a much higher percentage went to fans for these shows so whatever becomes available will probably be more reasonably priced. i still can't decide if i should/can have/make the time to go even if i could score a single. i sure hope this is the hardest decision i have to make this summer :)

Maybe it was meant to be. Think all the great shows going on in Chicago in addition to the 3 shows. Maybe just make a long weekend out of Chicago. I'm def throwing all my marbles at Chi town. I'm hitting the Rex benefit Thursday. Moe Saturday. The Jerry tribute show with Kimock, Greene, and Melvin Seals and company on Sunday afternoon. And I'm just getting started with other plans. I'm sure SC will be fun, but Chicago will be through the roof. He travels the fastest who travels alone

Who won the lottery! Brother Adam said it just right "feeling lucky and humbled. The lovelight is bright." That is exactly how it feels!! I am on the other side tonight - having gotten the regret email... I might just have to keep my SC hotel reservation and go see what I see... Don't want the back of the tshirt to be wrong!! Haha. My heart feels tender and smarts a little, but I have faith and will see you all soon! I just got home from work and have some catching up to do... gonna have a little snack and maybe watch a movie and breath first... Nightzzzzzz.

Hopefully that translates into more SC available for those in need. Nobody bought Chicago hoping to trade for something else. Not so w/ DJ & SC.

Given this theatre announcement, my guess is that Shapiro couldn't do a bigger deal with the cable and satellite providers for an in-home PPV. I would have thought that to be not only ideal for the fan and consumer, but a revenue jackpot for the band and Peter. Maybe that's coming...who knows. I will fork out for the boxed-set DVD in blu-ray when it comes out though :-)

If they can make it work for WWE how could it not work for this?? Sh!t...even Howard Stern made tens of millions on PPV back in the day.

Perhaps they are going for the group experience? That is only speculation, but I would rather go to a cinema with 500 people and awesome acoustics, than sit at home eating cheesies and beer...wait...beer, no, most cinemas sell beer now...thank you VIP cinemas!

Group experiences happen in the home as well and in a less restrictive and constrictive way.... Can't speak for your entertainment room, but my acoustics don't suck and I'm wired inside and out.... I would NEVER spend Independence Day at a movie theater... But I won't have to... And they could do both....

My acoustics SUCK - I don't even own a TV. I sold my turntable years ago to move to Europe (amp too) As for the group experience - definitely, but I am a loner in a sea of people asking why I even listen to a band that arguably died in the late 70's...I caught a lot of flack for saying I even wanted to go to a Dead concert. People don't get it and they look at you like you are crazy when you say something, so, finding a group that would start to emulate a concert experience...that would be tough (for me at least) And you sir, were one of the very lucky ones (of course you know this) - also my 'independence day' read Canada had already passed so - meh...

Possible that Theaters will announce advance ticket sales in order to assure sell out. Once this has been achieved then market can be reassessed to determine if home viewing is viable. Living 250 miles from the nearest theater that would even consider showing FTW, I have been down this exact same road many times.

You are always welcome to the Buff... I learned a long time ago to let my freak flag fly At work at home everywhere Got ostracized, criticized and alienated... But you know what.... It has freed me, so now I know who my friends are...and more importantly who aren't..... I agree the Dead culture is an acquired taste and much left of center..... And a special thank you to the almighty great and powerful Wizard of...DA...geoknowwho... My path is mine and mine alone, your mileage may vary... So please don't follow in my steps...you might not like where you end up..... But goddammit, I'm a deadhead and I MISS JERRY! Can I get a witness?

You just described where I live. Lucky to be 4 or 5 Deadheads on this side of the state. Had to enjoy the band all by myself. Amazingly one of the others is a district judge.

T-Horse told me that if and when they offer Home PPV it's going to be by lottery too. This could be a real no hitter. If my luck is really this bad, how come I have a spam folder full of all the wealth I've inherited, sweepstakes I've won, and third world business opportunities I've been offered? If I had not procrastinated so much I would be as wealthy as Bill Gates, or even Shapiro. Then I could have acquired all the suites at both stadiums and miracle'd all the Sunshine Daydreamers with a VIP experience. My bad. Stupid Horse.
