    @stop! hey what's that sound......
    ....everybody look what's goin' down...... Lookin' all around me What do I see? Lots of changing faces Lots of things to be But I'm happy just to be A part of all I see As I turn around to look at you And you look back at me There isn't time to hang around Anymore So fill your heart with lovin' And open up the door Someone's calling out to you That's what love is for As I turn around to look at you And you look back no more I'm feeling low I'm feeling down My head's been twisted, yeah All around But now my feet, oh yeah Are on the ground For everyone to see... There's many ways to reach you Though you're far away All the little things we do The little things we say I miss you like I miss the sun I need you every day As I turn around to look at you And you look back my way Lookin' all around me What do I see? Lots of changing faces Lots of things to be But I'm happy just to be Part of all I see As I turn around to look at you And you look back at me I'm feeling low I'm feeling down My head's been twisted, yeah All around But now my feet, oh yeah Are on the ground For everyone to see... touché' :-)

    @ Awake
    When I wake up in the morning, love And the sunlight hurts my eyes And something without warning, love Bears heavy on my mind Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day ... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day..... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day......

    It's really simple....and I hope it's new.... When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes The sun and moon are always present There are no more crying people around Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea Ships fall off of the horizon Bringing love, peace, and joy No fire can ever harm us Only music fills the air Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold Of a thousand years of wisdom sold When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes

    @ I'll sing along...
    The streets are always wet with rainAfter a summer shower when I saw you standin' Standin' in the garden, in the garden wet with rain You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow Yeah we watched the petals fall down to the ground And as I sat beside you I felt the great sadness that day In the garden And then one day you came back home You were a creature all in rapture You had the key to your soul and you did open That day you came back to the garden The olden summer breeze was blowin' against your face, alright The light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine And you were a violet colour as you sat beside your father And your mother in the garden The summer breeze was blowin' on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden And you went into a trance, your childlike vision became so fine And we heard the bells within the church, we loved so much And felt the presence of the youth of eternal summers in the garden Alright, and as it touched your cheeks so lightly Born again you were and blushed And we touched each other lightly And we felt the presence of the Christ Within our hearts in the garden And I turned to you and I said "No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father in the garden" Listen, no guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father and the Son And the Holy Ghost in the garden wet with rain No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father and the Son And the Holy Ghost in the garden In the garden wet with rain No guru, no method, no teacher Just you and I and nature And the Father in the garden

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.
