    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...

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 :-)

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.
