    Well, my manager kept tellin' meIf I wanna be great I'd better wise up And play my songs straight I said, "Hey fool, In order to survive I gotta be my dirty self I won't play no jive!" He told me he'd quit I said, "Don't jump to conclusions! Maybe bein' staight ain't the right solution. I'm not Bob Dylan, But I never miss a beat. I ain't no philosopher. I dance in the street" Well, I came to dance Yes, I came to dance It's a rhythm romance I'm havin' with my shoes I've got nothin' to lose I came to dance Woo! I came to dance I came to dance I came to dance I came to dance I took the matter up With a few million friends of mine The supreme court of rock and roll Is doing just fine Demanding a speech They poured me a drink I play guitar all night and day Just don't ask me to think I came to dance (I came to dance) Oh, it's a rhythm romance (I came to dance) I came to dance Oh, I've got a story Well, my manager kept tellin' me If I wanna be great I'd better wise up And sing my songs straight I came to dance Yeah, I came to dance

    Hey now, a Dead song! Inside you're burnin' I can see clear through Your eyes tell more than you mean them to Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues Out there on the neon avenue Well I, feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) Well the music's thunderin', restless and hot You keep firin' me glances across the room And I can't stop wonderin' just what you got Get the feeling I'm going to find out real soon But I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) So let's get on with the show, let's go Yes, and the wheels it's smokin 'round midnight You show me a look that says "Let's go" Yes, and it feels about like running a red light Now there ain't no point in looking behind us, no! Still I feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger) You know It's gonna get stranger, let's get on with the show If this were love now how would I know? How would I know? Feel like a stranger Gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night Silky, silky, crazy, crazy night

    Once upon a time you dressed so fineThrew the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People call say 'beware doll, you're bound to fall' You thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And now you're gonna have to get used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say do you want to make a deal? How does it feel, how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home A complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ah you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel, how does it feel? To have on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discovered that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal How does it feel, ah how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

    Seems I got to have a change of sceneCause every night I have the strangest dreams Imprisoned by the way it used to be Left here on my own or so it seems I got to leave before I start to scream But someone's locked the door and took the key Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself Feelin' alright Not feelin' too good myself Boy you sure took me for one big ride Even now I sit and wonder why And when I think of you I start to cry Got to stop belivin' in all your lies Cause I got to much to do before I die Before someone comes along and takes my place With a different name and yes a different face

    Happy Humping HAnk..... Walking down the main drag one night I met a fine chick that looked- just right she stopped in and I flashed my roll I told her she could have all of my dough she turned around, and with a fround she said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown Your cash ain't nothin' but trash your cash ain't nothin' but trash your cash ain't nothin' but trash so there ain't no need in your hangin' around Just to make the hit with that chick I tried to get a cadillac right quick the man at the place looked so strange I had nine hundred bucks and some change we disagreed, I tried to pleed He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash then brother you're crawling we passed your speed I'm walking and countin my bucks the man with the gun said hands up I tried to get away but I was too slow he caught me and took all of my dough I heard him shout, as he cut out "you really lost nothing what you're crying about?" Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash and he took my watch and I passed out I woke in the arms of a big cop police station next stop the judge swung his fist down plunk plunk twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk dig up the dough, and you can go and all I had was a buffalo Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash Your cash ain't nothin' but trash but I sure better get me some more

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.

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 :-)

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?

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.
