    worcester lot?
    i have been going to shows at worcester since the mid 80's..... just some parking garages and a few small lots scatered around the venue...the locals don't seem to mind its downtown so your not bothering them..some hotels within walking distance..the cops are quick to react but if you don't bother them they leave you alone BUT when the show is over they clear it out fast i mean fast they have no problem useing battons to hustle the croud...well over all its a food seen that can tour bad fast

    It is what it is….I just know that for me…the time has come to retire from mail-order. I think I was just spoiled all those years with the floor tix and all. It was a good ride while it lasted…but I think I found myself at a dead end. Its more the principal, not so much the money. In fact, when I get my money order back I plan to donate the funds to a charitable cause. For future shows it will be pre / general sales only, at least with those methods, I know right away if I scored or not. I’ve seen plenty of shows to feel more than satisfied…Of course there’s always room for a few more. :-) I don’t like to support the secondary market (just a rule I have)…unless they are selling below face. Still going to LOVE the Dead just the same….just might not get a chance to dance at as many shows. For those lucky enough to score tix to the Spring Tour shows…Congrats and please do shake those bones!!! Hopefully signs of a Summer Tour come soon!!

    That's the spirit! I've blown a lot of cash for this tour yes it hurts a little but who the hell cares??!! A year from now when I think back on the shows I'm going to I certainly am not going to be remembering how much money I spent. "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

    Dont feel bad,guys-I just paid over 100 per ticket waaaaay up in the balcony pretty much behind the stage for 4/18 Worcester-I didnt have the extra dough to mail order or do pre-sale when tix went on sale, so I had to resort to scalper scum--But you know what? Im IN-and Im gonna dance my ass off and have a BLAST!!! Keep smilin' guys-It's only Rock-n-Roll!!!!

    Received Shoreline 2/26
    Opened the mail box and there smiling on the top of the pile was an envelope from Stinson Beach! GA lawn tickets and the returned postal money order for my request of reserved seats. So I'm in the door, not on the floor, up on the grass, but I saved some cash!!

    DCU Upgrade
    Thought I had everything sewed up tightHow come you lay awake all night long? I also got the “upgrade” e-mail for the Worcester 4/18 show….and I’m very disappointed in GDST!! This is the first time in 11 years that they let me down. I don’t consider this an upgrade because if I wanted the $100 seats…I would think I would have chosen those seats. If I knew exactly where my seat would be…I might spend the $100…But NO WAY without an actual seat location. I wasn’t lucky in the pre-sale, and I didn’t even give the general sale a whirl because I saw the e-mail stating our orders would be filled…..I assumed that meant filled with what I ordered. Even bothered to do the artwork on the envelope and everything. After all the years and all the shows I just feel let down.

    So true. I've been listening to the Astral Weeks Live for a good chunk of the week and have a very deep desire to see this thing in person...but the guy at the record store (it's called the Record Exchange, so I can still use that term) told me about the ticket prices when I bought the cd. My immediate reaction..."And I've been bitching about $100 Dead tickets. Ok, I'm over that!"

You guys should KNOW that I want to go to a show, but I don't want to see you guys get busted and there's always millions of cops showing up when I go to a show unarmed and stuff. That's the way it was at Irvine Meadows a couple of years ago - and plus no one would sell me anything. Hey - the times they are a-changin'. Deadheads are sending me private messages now and are responding to my posts. Maybe in the near future I'll be able to go to a show and party in the parking lot like I used to (before anyone knew me really) and turn Deadheads on to classic Dead, my unique semi-altered Dead songs composed totally originally from me playing to make the songs exciting to earn money touring around . . . and of course originals by me. Look forward to seeing all of you!! Let's hope folks try and keep the music alive and here's hoping that Republicans don't throw us to the lions for being wierd.

And I only am saying something because you keep bringing it up but if I were to spend $100 I'd rather see the Dead once than DSO 4 times. "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

So I guess the west-coaster's are still safe. I'm on a trip for a week-and-a-half before G'boro, so I'd feel a lot safer seeing tix sooner than later. This is making me crazy!

...Why anybody would put a bumpersticker on their car that would call down "the local loser high school drop-out townie who used to be small but worked out in the gym and got a marine style haircut" cop to bust their chops for smiling on a cloudy day? I know, it's a free country, but I don't have the money to pay my lawyer to follow me around in a car on tour. In Amerika we have the best justice money can buy!

I have a funny story about Dead stickers-When I was younger(18-19) I had this bright yellow peice of crap dodge aspen 4 door that had a ridiculous amount of Dead/Zeppelin/Floyd stickers all over it (including the windshield) and I lived in N.H.-and I was driving home from Old Orchard Beach Jerry Garcia Band show Shroomin' my brains out(I know should'nt have been driving) This Maine State Trooper pulls us over and we were like "oh shit" + He goes-"You kids coming from the Jerry show?" and I was like-"yes sir" and he goes "what did he do for an encore?"I almost shit my pants-I dont remember what I said but I remember he said "sweet" he actually said "SWEET!!" Anyway then he goes-"You know your not supposed to have stickers on your front windows or wind shield." so l said-"sorry sir" and he goes-"Your lucky im a Deadhead,now take this shit box back to NH and dont come back!!!" guess its true-"We are everywhere"

grate story about tthe Maine head trooper who gave you a break. reminds me of a tale: I remember back in the 80's, I was working some shit job that had me driving up and down the NJ turn pike early am. way too much caffeine in my system and way too little sleep... in my ride, which had only ONE, subtle dead related roses sticker on the rear window, (you had to be a head to know what it was) I was cruisingg down the pike at about 70 miles an hour, shaving with my electric razor on the way to work... early am, before sunrise, I suddenly get hit by a flash of light. ok, keep going, trying to stay centered, I notice a car riding up on my right, and I get hit in the face with another flash of light. damn, a NJ state troop in his roller pulled up next to me, shining his mag light in my face, he drops back, and of course, puts on the red lights. I pull over, keeping my hands on the wheel. roll down the window, he walks up; his hand on his gun, big bright light in my eyes. "I was shaving, officer" I said. 'You're speeding, you are all over the road, AND you are shaving!!!??' "Yaa suh, I'm sorry. I'm going to work" 'shaving??!!' "yaa suh, sorry" (long, loud heart beats that rival Edgar Allan Poe eminating pounding my clavicals ) 'shaving??!! what would Jerry say?' and with a chuckle, he turned, got back in his roller and drove off. I let my pulse get back down to a normal beat before I eased off the shoulder and back into traffic. getting back into civilation now... an adventure. peace.

Hi all~ It's super late, so I haven't done the google search tonight to see if there are tickets left for the March shows in Cali...As it is, we are having issues with work, so I don't know if we can even go to the La, much less the Shoreline show...but still, I'm bundling up my sage and hoping for the miracle... Anybody know if people will be selling tickets in either of the lots if I don't get a chance to buy them earlier??? Also, anybody planning on selling anything??? Anybody planning on holding drum circles or other lot jams?? I remember when we went to the Dead in Nor Cal a couple of years ago, the dang horse police broke up the circle...it was such a bummer because I really wanted my hubby to get to experience a good one...Anyways...back in '93-'95, I never went with a ticket, I always had to save money until the very last minute, so part of the beauty of the whole thing was the lot and the luck that I would get if I was blessed enough to get in...course, that was a long time ago...it sure would be nice to go this year...I've been wanting to take my dad (who just loves music and was all hippied out in the 60's, but never really "got" the Dead...), as well as my youngest brother who is in his early 20's and who I think just might really like it... Any info. is appreciated... -Hopeful79 (Stacy)

Hate to put a damper on anyone-But im Bummin out right now-Just found out I cant go to the show because we just got an unexpected HUGE bill that is of a personal nature and there is NO WAY to get out of it and there is also NO WAY I can afford the tickets and the show- unless some crazy miracle happens between now and 4/18 like hitting the lottery! I am truly sad. Guess I will just have to hope for some east coast summer gigs or just settle for DSO at Hampton Beach in june :-(

Sorry to hear of your sitch...We are right there with you on that one!!! We're self employed in the construction industry, and it's just so crappy right now!! Bills just are no fun, especially, when you consider the whole idea of just losing the house and the credit cards/utilities;etc...and walking away from the rat race and doing some travelling, camping, dancing and overall, just living the life "outside of the rat race"...don't mind me...it's almost 3 am and I am still on the computer for work...tomorrow is going to be interesting with my whole two or three hours of sleep...! Who knows...me and my hubby just might end up rv'n it at one point and then we'd get to see tons of shows instead of working so much every day...I guess we'll see where the good Lord takes us... Anyways...good luck with the other shows that you are waitin on a miracle for and HAPPY ST. PATTY'S to another nite owl!

Now I just can't wait for Cinco De Mayo. I hope all the toils and snares you have run into can work themselves out, especially if you just can't wait to hear the boyz play. The Rothbury fest is a must, and the only summer tour dates confirmed. I will highly recommend going for 4 dayz if you can, it is one of the Greenest, Good Time, musician, dancin, and hippy fests I've ever been to. The special guests will amaze you. Let's get on with the show! ~peace~ _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Hi all, I'm sitting here in Ireland on Paddys day. I should be out having a few pints with my mates BUT I managed to draw the short straw in work and so I get to be on call :=). The only thing cheering me up is that I have 2 tix for the show in Washington. Its coing to be my first Dead show and I cant wait. Bringing my better half with me.mad to think just 3 yrs ago she was listening to hip hop kinda stuff. managed to bring her round via the last waltz, woodstock and festival express. Now she has a load of dead on her ipod and is excited about the concert as me(never thought id see the day) I was wondering what the rules are in relation to bringing cameras into the concert venue, Its very laid back in Ireland (in most venues). I dont want to end up having to que and then go back to the hotel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and happy paddys day to one and all.

tonight with the Allmans. The other night the ABB played I Know You Rider with Trey from Phish. It is available on You Tube. Good stuff. I think seeing warren tonight will get me psyched to see the Dead in april. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"
