    I have a feeling that what little seats that are left at Shoreline and MSG will get snatched from brokers and scalpers..I am curious to see the listing prices after the 23rd when the demand is higher..I miss the old days when you camped out for tickets and where rewarded for your patience and time..Met some great people over the years standing in those lines

    all the haters stay home. If you choose to attend, please check the tude at the gate. I also flipped out at first over the prices and scalpers scooping up most of the good seats, but I'm over it. Is what it is. I'll be happy to jump into a seat closer than mine left empty by an unsold scapler ticket. Just looking to have a good time and hope you all are too.

    Haters??
    I don't get all the negativity. The Core 4 have decided to reunite. Is it for the money? NO. Is it for us? Partially. Is it 'cause they found that magic again and want more of it? That's my guess. $100 a seat and people are griping? Go see the withered Don Henley and the mishmosh of musicians he's calling "The Eagles" these days for less than $200 and your seat will be in the bathroom. The Rolling Stones' cheap seats are $190....and don't forget - they don't have all THEIR original members either. $100 is just fine by me. I can't understand the bitching and complaining. If it's too much, don't go. If you'd rather see the pale imitation, aka DSO, for $30 - enjoy 'em! They're great at what they do - a wonderful imitation of the Grateful Dead. To me, it's "Gratefulmania," but I'm glad they're helping keep the music alive so nicely and with such attention to detail. The world needs them!For these 4 guys to patch up their personal differences and see them palling around in those videos - it's simply wonderful. The vibe is great. I'm just gonna steer clear of the negativity being spewn from people who simply just "don't get it." And when I say that, I say it wholeheartedly. You haters may have "gotten it" long ago, but you lost it somewhere along the line. Personally, I believe this could be the last time. I felt the magic in State College. Their listening skills were honed in and the collective brought it - with force. I'm dropping out for 5 shows. I'm a father of 3, full-time employed and only income in my family. There's no way I'm missing some of this magic. Even if they DO another tour, I'm done. This is it for me and I've made my peace with that. Certainly if they come to my backyard - I'll be there....but my touring days end after this tour. I'll be pickin' my acoustic in the parking lots and I'll be a 22 year old all over again....nothin' left for this 40-year old papa left to do but smile, smile, smile... ~ Pappy http://www.theCAUSEjams.com "Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right." - Robert Hunter

    Would have definitely gone that route, except that using a credit card is the only way I can float this right now, which they aren't taking for these shows, so...... Hope everyone who did mail order comes up smiling! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Back in the 80's I got beat up by some drunken bullies in the parking lot of the meadowlands. They broke a beer bottle on me and kicked me around for being a "stinkin hippy"! I felt so sorry for them. I had just seen 3 amazing shows and was on a musical high like I had never imagined possible. Their limited minds would never allow them to understand how amazing things the hatred they felt would not permit them to get. I honestly never even felt anger towards them. Send out love and that is what you will receive. Peace. Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his sandals. That way when you do judge him, you are a mile away and have his sandals!

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.

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"
