    Hey Now, thesteam
    Seems like you need to blow off some, but somewhere else. That shotgun quote at Hal is VERY unkind, not to mention against our good vibe way here. Yes indeedy,you're absolutely right in that we can disagree and argue and have differences of opinion, and all sorts of things here; but Hal's right-personal insults, name calling, and quoting threats like blowing Hal away are against the policy of the site that we all aggreed to when we joined here; and people will speak out against such things. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

    THE(rusty)DEAD?
    Phatmoe-yeah im using a wii-its not hard,just takes gettin used to-cept the damn batteries keep dyin on the wireless remote-need to get that charger!---------------OK the real reason I posted--Did anyone see the boys on utube at the ball??YIKES!! I hope they do some rehearsing before the tour cuz I gutta tell ya-I was NOT IMPRESSED!I hope what I saw/heard was mostly due to bad footage/audio.Because to be perfectly honest-they sounded terrible!maybe It was an off-night(we've all seen those)and maybe the circumstances were a little too weird for them to get into it(I HOPE)Im starting to think someone else might fit better than warren.Im sure THE DEAD will have good and bad shows-just hope my wife and I see a good one(FOR $435.00 A PAIR!!!!)tigerlily-hope you didnt take offense when I said your picture was freakin me out-I LIKE BEIN FREAKED OUT!!! smiles-G

    Splainin the Dead
    On a good night it was bettern the best sex. The interplay between each other, the sometimes silent, somtimes thundering ques, the ability of any one member to lead the rest of the band down a new path with a simple phrase or chord was improvisation at its finest. Never stuctured, always right on the edge. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. On a bad night like a plane crash. Did someone say coverband??? Who else can pull off Merle Haggard and the Stones in the same set. The mix of country, folk, bluegrass, jazz, blues, and straight ahead rock and roll have never been equalled. Uncle Bobo said it best "Theyre not only the best at what they do, theyre the only ones who do what they do" And then there was the cat in the GD movie "The bottom line is quite simply stated, there is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert

    Cover band???????????????
    Couldnt agree more with you fleaflicker. Late 80s into 90s and Jerrys passing were the low point for the band and the fan base. anyone thats been to a Phil or RD show in the past few years or the Dead 03, 04, can tell you when theyre in that groove its better than ever. Cover band???? Hardly!!! The fans are different too. A lot of old timers (like me) are back on the bus and the youngsters seem to have that spirit of long ago. Of course we'll never replace the 70's.

    i appreciate your time of
    i appreciate your time of day to take my situation into consideration, as for me, my name is brittney, my momma calls me lola, cause im crazy and adventurous. I have never been to a dead show, but i've watched plenty on dvd and still got off just as much...im in college now its an online course for massage therapy, im into natural healing more of a holistic view on life....i believe in a higher power, i believe we all can tap into this inner power with enough meaning behind it....i go around with a smile, instead of a frown....i try to have self control over my feelings and frustrations, i've realized that if you can find entertainment out of those so called stressful situations, you wont find your self getting upset and uptight, instead loose and fun. I live in martinsburg wv i've always been a country girl. born and raised most of my family are good county folks....i was raised on a farm around horses, and i rode alot....i miss it, and hopefully oneday i will be able to raise my future kids on a green pastured farm, i know it was fun for me, and made me unique and different, it taught me responsibility, and love for my family, as well as the horses. I trained them, and it was as if we could understand each other, i fine tune myself to others feelings and pick up alot from people...i guess you could call me a people studier....if someone is feeling a certain way, i can pick up on it and feel their pain/happiness/nervousness....sometimes its not so good, thats why i try to use meditation, a sense of washing away...and letting go...I love to camp out, in fact i own a small trailer that is sitting on a piece of land near the potomac river, its acutally a big campground, its my paradise, and my get a way spot, theirs lots of woods to go hiking in, and nature to be adored, usually people ride golf carts around the park...alot of people go there too, the whole park is surrounded by the river, theres cliffs that people jump off from tehre that are 90ft from the water!! i've jumped before, i am a big dare devil....always have been since a young kid, i loved rollercoasters and bunji jumping!! i like to walk on the wild and dangerous side....i've tried and dabbled into a lot of things in my life....and i dont regret none of it....my camper is all set up, i've got grateful dead bear door beads from www.hippieshop.com also glow in the dark groovy peace signs on teh walls and ceilings...i've got blacklights disco ball...its all shagged out...and the all time greatest party spot....theres also a fire pit, thats where im usually at in the night time, if im not out skinny dippin in the river, lol...i've been swimmin on some cold nights when no one else would...lol i really do love the water especially when im in my fantasy world:) i love to have fun, and get away from reality every now and then...its a nice vacation. im very spiritual, i belive in evolution i dont really buy the whole adam and eve story...however, incase you didnt know, there was another woman created before eve...if your into that stuff....her name was lilith, and she wanted equality, half and half, man and woman....but they wouldnt have it and banished her and created eve....to me im more into the big band theory...atom and egg collide causing supernova blast, and creation of the planets...its pretty crazy how the whole thing is set up....its almost like there has to be some mastermind behind the veil...or could it just simply be natures laws???

    HAL R and his thoughts on The Steam's post...
    "thesteam - this place is about respecting others To say "Go away little person." is not the way we talk to each other around here. We may disagree with another person but we do not insult them. Some of us try to spread good vibes around here. Are you kind? " Are you kidding? I WAS extremely kind to the person that called, The Dead, a "really good cover band". As far as your comment to me... "Are you kind?" I assume that is a quote from Uncle John's Band. Here is a quote for you as well... "If I had me a shotgun, I'd blow you straight to hell." From Candyman :) Please allow others to have opinions, even if it includes, name calling. SSSSSSSSSheesh! OK??????

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"

...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"
