    What a joke, I thought the Dead were all about bucking the trend and were huge proponents of "change" as evidenced by their recent Obama benefit. Obviously the only thing that has changed about the Dead is their hunger for more money. Thanks alot for letting half of your fanbase down guys, most people I know who wanted to hit some shows now can't afford it.

    Philly - Upper Tier Only?
    Philly mail order (GDTS TOO) has $69 tix and $99 tix. Internet pre-sale (Dead.Net) has only $95.50 tix. Is this right? I can save $30 per tic through mail order only? These hundred dollar price tags suck. Two of my old tour brothers and I were going to hit both Philly shows. Revisit the old days. One of them dropped off because he's disgusted with the ticket prices, the other one is currently out of work on disability with a family to support and he just can't swing 100 bones for a show. I'm trying to work something out so the three of us can see just one show. If we can save $30 per tic through mail order, I can probably get them both back on the bus. Can anyone shed some light on why mail order has two price tiers and online pre-order only the upper tier? Thanks brothas and sistas... Searching for the Sound

    I've got a meeting in 15 minutes, but I should be back by the time the ticket pre-sale begins. If I don't get back to this board before then, good luck to everyone. I hope you all get the tickets you need for the shows you want. "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

    Somebody posted a seating chart from Nassau , all the seats under 100 were behind the stage.I dont know if they all are , but I assume the view is obstructed in some way. I think you gotta pay up , unless you wanna risk staring at a Steel Girder all night.

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"
