    HOW DO YOU XPLAINE A DEAD SHOW?
    Hey all,Got a question for any one that cares to listen.... HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN A DEAD SHOW? I was wondering, ive tried to explain a grateful dead show to family, friends and co-worker, but all I can come up with is saying that its the kindest people you'll ever meet in the world. I try to talk alot about the music,but todays generation is more into the heavy metal or rap scene. So I guess what i'm asking is how do you explain to somebody thats never heard the music or been to a show what its like? Any feedback on this would be great! Peace Phatmoye

    i think they ought to have a big Jerry/Buddha on the stage and after each song if the decibel meter doesn't redline from the cheers it should blow out a puff of smoke and say "hey!, what the fuck is this!" I love Bobby, Phil, Billy, and Mickey. I hope they make a billion dollars and then put on a big free concert this summer, preferably in the mountains in the middle of God's country here in Oregon! I'm glad they have another chance to play together and may our hope inspire them.

    who cares!!!!! interesting read? my Gawd................
    chicago bob Is that rock gamer bullyock for real, does anyone think that Uncle John's Band is akin to KUMBAYA. That read is not interesting, is is blasphemous, and who cares, anyway. No more clutter, please.

    $53 tix
    problem w/ ticketmaster and their cheap seats is that they are only available for a short time on-line. chances are come sat. when they go on sale, a 1/2 hour in- they will tell you tix are no longer available and the will give you a link to TicketsNow -which will have plenty of tix at obscene prices

    Interesting read . . .
    Everything below was taken from the following link: http://www.rockgamer.com/2009/01/21/more-grateful-dead-heading-to-rock-… Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 3:00 pm Posted in Rock Band, Rock Band DLC, Rumors Earlier this morning, IGN posted an article on a Grateful Dead Pack headed to the Rock Band Music Store. The article has since been pulled, so somebody, somewhere must have goofed. Unfortunately, this is the internet, and you can’t always take back something once it’s been posted. See the full article’s text below that lists all of the songs, as well as the writer’s opinion on whether or not you should consider the buy. Rock Band Refresh: Grateful Dead Pack Full of greatness or just plain grating? by Nate Ahearn January 20, 2009 - Every Tuesday, MTV Games and Harmonix release new downloadable tracks for Rock Band on Xbox Live Marketplace for your rocking pleasure. But before they hit the ‘Net, they hit the IGN offices. Each week we’ll announce the new tracks alongside our impressions of the new content. So check back weekly for the latest on what’s new, what’s hot and what’s worth a download. A pack that will strike a particular chord with San Francisco residents (where IGN is located), Grateful Dead brings their second Rock Band offering. The pack includes six songs spanning a wide breadth of Grateful Dead tunage. Tracks range from Cold Rain and Snow from 1967 all the way up through 1987’s Hell in a Bucket. While I’m personally not a fan of Grateful Dead’s brand of classic rock, there’s no denying their impact on the music industry. For that reason, it’s a good thing that the band has been given its due in its second Rock Band pack. While every instrument doesn’t perform perfectly on the whole pack, there’s at least one in each track that everyone should be able to enjoy. Cold Rain and Snow Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 3 | Guitar 2 | Drum 3 | Vocals 1 | Bass 5 One of those super-rare tracks that provides a challenge for bass players. The rest of the instruments are serviceable, but the main guitar riff gets a little repetitive over time. It’s a fairly tough one, too. Like many of the tracks on this pack, Cold Rain and Snow is best enjoyed on hallucinogens. Verdict: Possible Download Doin’ That Rag Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 4 | Guitar 2 | Drum 3 | Vocals 6 | Bass 4 No doubt, this is the toughest vocal song in the pack. Singers, be warned: the odd timber and pitch of the lyrics are very tough to emulate perfectly. There’s also a very tough and very long guitar solo that ends the song. Thankfully “Doin’ That Rag” does a good job of differentiating itself from the rest of the pack and is one of the best of the six. Verdict: Must Download Don’t Ease Me In Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 3 | Guitar 3 | Drum 3 | Vocals 1 | Bass 4 If you can hammer-on and hammer-off, you should be fine. If you can’t, you’re screwed. Don’t be fooled by the moderate difficulty rating for the guitar, it’s pretty tough. The vocals, while not as challenging, are still fun thanks to the upbeat nature of the song. Verdict: Must Download Fire on the Mountain Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 3 | Guitar 2 | Drum 4 | Vocals 0 | Bass 0 The drum portion, while the most difficult instrument in the song, is pretty unimaginative and repetitive, sadly. The same goes for the vocals and bass. The guitar part does a good job of working its way around the pad, but overall, “Fire on the Mountain” is unimpressive. Verdict: Don’t Download Hell in a Bucket Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 4 | Guitar 3 | Drum 4 | Vocals 6 | Bass 3 My personal favorite of the songs on this pack. Every instrument is fast and fun with the vocals providing the biggest challenge. Playing both the guitar and drums is a physical challenge with reaches and quick movements required for both. If there’s one to get, in my opinion this is it. Verdict: Must Download Uncle John’s Band Price: 160 Microsoft Points ($1.99) Difficulty: Band 2 | Guitar 2 | Drum 3 | Vocals 0 | Bass 1 “Uncle John’s Band,” like the name might indicate to some, is a pretty ho-hum song. It’s about as close to singing “Kum Ba Yah” as Grateful Dead gets. The guitar has some difficult portions, but there’s much to it. If you can sing soothingly then you should be able to nail the peaceful vocals. Verdict: Possible Download

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"
