    Just got back from Denver show
    All I can say is acoustic Deep Elem Blues!! Folks this show in Denver was so damn good I don't give a crap about the negative reviews about the tour so far, thank you for your opinion, but I have to disagree with any negativity ... tonight was absolutely amazing ... the energy ... the love ... the music ohhh the music!! Tonight I became a huge Warren fan, he is just nailing it!! China Doll ... seriously just let Warren sing some more !!... Cumberland ... so freaking good!! Billy .. Mickey ... thunderous!! Jeff grooving as good as any keyboarder ... Ok its late got to go! Peace and love and see you in shoreline and the gorge!! "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

    not sure if there was some other reason for the big black curtain over those upper sections at Byrne, but certainly those shows were'nt sold out. it would be interesting to know which shows actually 'sold out' and did not have any tickets at the box office on the day of the shows... yeah, a Brokedown Palace after that Sampson in Philly would have been sweet... ( -; dilema with the Dead these daze is once Phil makes his donor rap, you know there will only be one more tune... especially after they take their bows. would have been nice if after that on a few shows they picked up the guitars once more... the only really COOL surprise I saw was the opening of the second set with the drumz because the first set had been so long, forgot which show that was. during the 10-12 shows I saw during the 2004 tour, they played LATE numerous nights... and that was after Hunter or Warren had opened! so those were pretty cool, I though. I especially dug seeing Hunter opening! I am looking forward to trying to get to some Rat Dog shows this summer, Jackie Greene is opening!!!!!!!!! personally, I'd also love to see a combo Phil & Friends / Ratdog tour one of these daze, less hype, no hassles with crappy technology pre-sales, less asshole scalpers... that don't mean to say I think anything wrong is with the Dead, had lots of fun there, too. good vibes, good music, no major hassles, cool folks!

    Favorite Tour Memory
    5/5 Cinco De Mayo..........My first ever Dead show. Arrive at the lot around 5:00. We walked around, bought some beverages, ate some goodies, bought some handmade jewlery, always fun!!! Around show time we decided it was time to go to our seats. So feelin real good by then we get in the security line, and just when we thought we were in the clear, a BitchPig grabs my purse and starts rummaging, found my concealed bottle of Jack and confiscated it!! Brand New bottle!!! I was pissed but not as pissed as when we got inside and I paid $7.50 for a Mia-Tia!!! Beareaucratic Buzzkill!!!!! Then it was showtime and the boys started playin and the magic started happenin. My neighbors were nice enough to share some love (if youknow what I mean) and then I was groovin. Later in the show my son also shared a little love with me too. How cool!!! I almost cried during Unbroken Chain and then I lost my mind when they played Hell in a Bucket, one of my top ten favorite Dead songs!!!!!!!! I left the show that night feelin like a kid who just got everthing they wanted for Christmas!!!!! 5/5 Chicago was a show beyond description and it will live in my memory forever!!!!!!!!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home... I Miss Jerry

    Your lucky man, I heard those shows, man, there killer. It wasn't sold out you say? Hmmm....Thats odd... Out of all 3 shows on this tour i caught (not including the Penn show) i'd have to say the first night at the Spectrum was the most magical:) The second night had better set lists tho..You Know tho, I thoght they would of encored with Samson & Delilah into> Brokendown Palace... You know, "id tear this old building down, Now lets leave this brokendown palace" Either way, what ever the dead play, ITS ALWAYS GRATE!!! The dead could play Mary had a little lamb and id start dancin my ass off!!!! :)Peace- Moye

    was
    was kind of surprized that the Brendyn Byrne Meadowlands (Izod for you youngins) shows were no where near sold out... or was there some other reason for the black curtain covering the top back tier facing the stage?? we got miracled (from an old friend) with seats in the 3rd row right in front of Branford for the Tuesday show, that was fucking awesome. caught 8 shows. all in all, a grate tour!! I was actually rather proud of myself that i did NOT, like in the old daze, try to get to every show humanly possible (once we got that green light from the calvary) like, we did NOT drive all the way up to Albany... if you are anywhere near the rest of the shows, I got one word: GO!! now, we done.

First, let me say that no one can ever replace Jerry. Not even close, IMHO. That being said Warren is a monster. Last night was the first time I saw him play, and I think he will be great with the Dead. The Allman's even closed the second set with a kickin' jam of The Other One. Made me feel right at home. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

Nice! Hey now how do you import youtube vids like that? I tried to put one in a post in dead.net and all it did was paste the web link to youtube... Just wondering how you get the whole video like that? "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"

I think it's way cool to have green, sustainable camping at a four day event, but after looking at the VIP packages I'd have to say that the energy footprint for this festival is going to be a monster. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to lay our the $3400 for a safari tent with all the furnishings and electricity, air-conditioned bathrooms and showers and trucked in ice as well as the $118 vig for "shipping & handling" charges. I just wouldn't want anyone to think it was green, sustainable camping. Conspicuous consumption is just so retro these days, what with Feed The Children leading convoys of food into cities and all.... Wouldn't you just love to hire two white-jacketed eunuch nubians with black linen towels over their arms and say "Blend us up two more top-shelf ritas and bring us the mirror after you finish slicing & dicing. Chop-chop boys!"

This from Wikipedia: On April 4, 1996, Bob Weir and Deborah Koons spread half of Garcia's cremated ashes in the Ganges River in India, a site sacred to the Hindus. Then, according to Garcia's last wishes, the other half of his ashes were poured into the San Francisco Bay. Deborah Koons disallowed one of Garcia's ex-wives, Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia, from attending the spreading of the ashes. Phil writes in Searching for the Sound that they made it under the Golden Gate to a point where the captain said the ashes would be carried out to sea. As they poured the ashes over the side of the vessel some of the ashes were blown back against the hull. Bobby leaned over with a cloth napkin and "scrubbed poor Jerry off the hull". Sometime later Phils wife Jill was weeding a garlic patch when she reached into her pocket and found the napkin Bobby had used. She offered a quick prayer and buried the napkin there in the field. May he rest in peace. We miss ya Jerry.

I was blown away the other night at the Allman Bros, Beacon Theater, NYC. I have a buddy on the inside who is always a reliable source but when he told me earlier in the week that Eric Clapton was going to show up I didn't believe. Sure enough, Clapton came out and jammed the whole second set. My bud also told me that Bobby and Phil are jamming with the Allmans closing night Mar 28. For all the lucky ones, just a little taste what what we're going to get on the tour. Always believe. If you get confused Listen to the music play "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

Just received tickets from gdtstoo for the Charlottesville show and they are floor seats - wahoooo. Although I have not received tickets from the online pre-sale for the same show; called to check on them and MusicToday said they should be sent out seven to ten days before the show. Wow- talk about cutting it close. I have learned my lesson and will stick with gdtstoo and skip the "new" way to purchase tickets.

For presale tix? Man, what's the hurry? Make them will-call and I'll at least have some degree of confidence that we'll see them. Let's see, 7-10 days before the show I'm 900 miles away from my mailbox, and will stay that way until 3 days before Greensboro. I'm going to leave home before having tix in hand? First-in, last out. That's the way to run a business!

I'm sure we all will get our tickets in time, it's just a bit shady in my opinion and it doesn't make much sense. Unless they have to print every ticket by hand, using rare paper from deep in the rain forest, and special ink imported from the orient and then use carrier pigeons to deliver them all ... yeah yeah that's it! No wonder why its taking so long... :-) "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"
