@Texas floods
I think I speak for all of us here @ dead.net:
Our kindest thoughts and prayers (whatever your affiliation or lack thereof) go out to the victims and families of victims of the floods in the south Texas area and surrounded areas.
May you find some peace in your loss and hope for a speedy recovery from this disaster...
:-(
Second that
Sure many of us second that one klangstone. Being from Cape Cod all of my family lives here yet my sister just took a temp job in Dallas. Has us on edge a bit as if life doesn't to begin with.
sleepy ol' website
i don't know what I expect, I guess, but...zzzzzzzzzzz.
Bobby's movie, cover story on GD in Rolling Stone, nary a mention.
Maybe have a contest where Phil will come make you dinner.
or better yet, RELEASE SOME HOT SHOWS.

Let's go for a boat ride, and crank up the tunes. Boston 4/69 is the first run we'll play.

I wonder if the spinners will be in Chi-town or Santa Clara. Jerry always thought they were a little weird.
@ Mayor Klangstone
Thank you, Mr. K. I understand about not encouraging trolls by feeding them attention, which makes them stronger. Conversely, as in the physical world, ignoring jerks turns down their energy and often makes them go away *if* you haven't been insulting. Sometimes I have a problem with that :-)
I wasn't apologizing for his sake, it was for my sake. I had been a jerk, and it's good to own that — maybe it can undo some of the insult. At the least, make it less likely to happen in the future.
Man, I'm way up to see people I haven't seen in 20 years... Is it really you?... No way! God, remember that Merriweather show where it rained so hard the creek flooded, and Bob lost four sheets when the water came up over his pockets :-( How about those free balloons in the Laney College parking lot before the St. Patty's day show at HJK? The Greek show in '87 where they broke out "Watchtower", Jerry pushing the riff harder and harder until it just came apart in his face...Yow!
Folks may be surprised at what Trey chooses to do, and not to do, with those pesky mandatory "iconic" Dead songs. I had barely heard of Trey Anastasio when he and Page McConnell sat in with Phil and friends at the first show Phil played after his liver transplant. My impression of Trey was, he had an uncommon ability that separates the jammers from the wankers: he knew how to listen. Yes, I'll be disappointed if they don't play Dark Star, Stella Blue, Box of Rain... It's a surprisingly long list, what did Weir send Trey, 66 songs? For me, it's about the songs as a structure for improvisation, and about the kind people, and the memories held within the music all these years like genies in a bottle...and saying "how do you do?" before we're left behind.
Lot in Chicago near full
If your planning to drive up & shake it down just know I saw where there are only 3 spaces left for July 3 in Chi-town.
Any Word on Live Streaming Venues?
Has anybody hard of Chicago clubs, bars, venues, parks or anywhere they may show the live stream?
New game of check the mailbox
Today being June1 starts the check the mail box for tickets fun. When will the tickets begin to show up?
Streaming venues
The Park west and City Winery are both showing all three concerts. Left over salmon is playing an acoustic set during the break at Park west , and then a full concert after the show.

Brent songs?
Was just listening to 1990-6-16 at Shoreline, and it made me wonder. Do you think we'll be hearing Brent songs? We Can Run would be nice. I Will Take You Home? Those songs seem to have died with Brent. Can anyone else pull them off?
CHICAGO TICKET RELEASE
"A limited amount of single-day tickets to all three #Dead50 shows at Soldier Field in Chicago will be released on Friday, June 5 at 12PM EDT. There will be a two ticket limit per show, and sales will occur on-line only."
The above is at: www.dead50.net
No changes on the Ticketmaster site as of 6/2/15 @ 2:30PM PDT.
Good luck to those of us that still don't have Chicago tickets.
As for everyone that does have Chicago tickets already, please be kind and stay away from Ticketmaster on Friday and let those of us without tickets get them. Thank You.
Brent songs
I hope to here at least one. Blow Away or Easy to Love You would be nice. Love Brent!!
re: Ticket Release
I agree with TCarr. If you have tickets, no need to ping Ticketmaster to see the ticket options. Let those who need tickets use the bandwidth.
It will likely be a typical TM cluster when a large demand event goes on sale, so take a breath and good luck!

Chicago mail order arrived in NJ today
Gorgeous tickets in hand. Anyone heard about the stage set up? wondering if side/behind the stage will be the gems. Have sat behind stage for many GD shows and the monitors for the band had a sweet sound.
Clarification
my email says Your Tickets have been printed
- so hopefully that means they will be in the mail real soon
body of email reads
Heads up Darrell,
Your passports to a one-of-a-kind live experience are shipping shortly by US Mail.
Mail Order
This whole thing has been pins and needles since day one. I am patiently, and anxiously, waiting for my mail order. I only ordered for one night, and put any. I have no idea which night I will get tickets for, so I might try TM, but i agree with others here who say if you have tickets, don't clog the system. I have yet to get the e-mail that zepthompson got.
Oh please be in my mail box before TM sale on Friday, then i won't have to bother with that fiasco.
Thank you Jerry
