    Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel. We're going downtown in the middle of the night We was laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright. Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac, I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back. They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes, They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too. Welcome back, we're nationwide. Yeah we bad, we're nationwide. Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered. With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made. I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide.

    @ Fast Thing
    I've been drivin' all night, My hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head That drives my heel It's my baby callin', Says: I need you here And it's a half past four And I'm shifting gear When she is lonely And the longing gets too much She sends a cable Coming in from above Don't need a phone at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" The road has got me hypnotized And I'm speeding into a new sunrise When I get lonely, And I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, Comin' in from above Don't need a letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky, Radar Love No more speed, I'm almost there Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care Last car to pass, here I go And the line of cars drove down real slow And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong" And the newsman sang his same song One more radar love is gone When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort, coming in from above We don't need no letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a thing that's called, Radar Love

Let's make it to the hotel room..." The doors flew back, in come the pack, shouted "Honey, you spoke too soon!" Play that fast thing one more time It does something to me, and, it sure feels fine Play that fast thing one more time You're gonna get some action if we don't get satisfaction No one leave the building 'til we play it one more time! All over but the shouting, the end of another show A hundred-and-ten behind 'em, there was forty-four more of those shows to go Somebody said, somebody said, "Let's make it to the hotel room..." When the doors flew back, in come the pack, shouted "Honey, you spoke too soon!"

    It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

I just want to say that I think the GD organization is doing a pretty good job of handling this whole adventure. Sure just like Gimme Some Lovin when Brent fails to recognize the tune and fails to kick in the big organ intro, things got off to a rough start. Chicago was a mess, the demand was unexpected, seating charts re-written, behind the stage seating etc etc. But the boys learn from mistakes and things have gotten better, and I appreciate that. Bravo for handling Santa Clara well. For folks with Chicago tickets perhaps SC was an insult, but as someone who needed tickets at the time, Santa Clara was handled well. Friday release of tickets. Once again Dead Heads with the spirit to try one more time, it seems a subset of them were rewarded. Well done. GDTSTOO in general seems to have done well and when possible did the right thing. Sure today people are pissed about $200 tickets being in the upper tiers and that does seems a bit sloppy in hindsight. I think the choice they had to make was to give tickets or not give tickets. So the seating chart went out the window, but overall I think the band has had to fight with the venue, fight with TM to try and make things as good as they can for us. -- Tom

Yeah, they did they best they could considering the mess they caused in the first place. Hindsight is 20/20. Let's be real, the organization doesn't need praise, just understanding for trying to fix the biggest ticket fuck up in history. Tom, look up cluster-fuck in the dictionary, there' a picture of TM spinning wheel with the Dead50 logo on top. I love the Dead, but I'm not drinking that Kool Aid.

Tom - You know I love you man, but you have to be kidding. A bit sloppy? Most folks I know would call it theft. Sure the buyers didn't have to 'click' purchase. 400 level for 200 because that's what the market will bear? You'd have to be pretty heavily dosed to say they handled things 'pretty well'. This is the biggest cluster fuck (or the most brilliant) in the annals of modern concert promotion. Some people got some splaining to do. Now that I have that out of my system, lets's party! Peace, gob

Yes, it's a good day for singing a song,and it's a good day for moving along; Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong, A good day from morning' till night Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes, and it's a good day for losing the blues; Everything to gain and nothing' to lose, A good day from morning' till night I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun Rise and shine today" You know you've gotta get going If you're gonna make a showin' And you you've got the right of way. 'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills; And it's a good day for curing your ills, So take a deep breath and throw away the pills; 'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.

from the interweb (link at bottom) Ways and Means: Getting There Public Transit: On Fourth of July weekend, Chicago’s lakefront crowds up and Lake Shore Drive slows to a crawl. Beat the traffic by taking the CTA’s Red, Green, or Orange lines to the Roosevelt stop. From there, it’s just a 15-minute walk east to Soldier Field. Buy a train pass in advance to avoid the long lines that form at the L stops. (You can buy a 3-day Ventra pass for $20 online). Taxis, Uber, and Pedicabs: Soldier Field is removed from major streets with through traffic, so hailing a cab or coordinating with an Uber driver can be difficult. If you’re too wiped out to walk back to the train after the show, consider one of the pedicabs that will undoubtedly be circling the area. The back of an open-air rickshaw is a great spot for enjoying views of downtown Chicago and the Museum Campus. Shuttles: Bars such as Reggies (2105 S. State St.) in the South Loop and aliveOne (2683 N. Halsted St.) in Lakeview are offering shuttle services and packages to help you get to and from the venue. Deadhead Pro Tip: “Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad” was written in 1931 by a traveling fedora-salesman/folk singer stuck in traffic on the Edens Expressway. That may or may not be true, but if you’re traveling that way, be prepared for gridlock on the Edens and Kennedy (I-90/94) during rush hour. I Sat Down to My Supper, 'Twas a Bottle of Red Whiskey: Food & Drink For the Parking-Lot Chef: The South Loop Market (1720 S. Michigan Ave.) stocks organic groceries and more than 300 vintage beers to keep you sustained in the lots. Pre-Show Eats: Nearby restaurants include the throwback Jewish deli Eleven City Diner (1112 S. Wabash Ave.) and Cafecito (26 E. Congress Pkwy.), which specializes in Cuban sandwiches and coffee. Further north, vegetarians will find seitan burgers and tacos at Native Foods Cafe (14 S. Clinton St.) in the Loop. Liquor Stores: South Loop standbys include Warehouse Liquors (634 S. Wabash Ave.) and a Binny’s Beverage Depot (1132 S. Jefferson St.). Deadhead Pro Tip: If you’re exploring the Loop, you might as well wander past the historic Auditorium Theatre (50 E. Congress Pkwy.). Located about a mile from Soldier Field, this registered national landmark hosted many memorable Dead shows from 1971 to 1977. Listen to the Music Play: Related Shows & Streaming Options During the Show: If you weren’t lucky enough to score tickets on July 3 or 4, head to City Winery (1200 W. Randolph St.) to watch a live HD stream on a massive screen. Park West (322 W. Armitage Ave.) will also be streaming the first two nights, with Leftover Salmon serving as the musical hosts. After the Show: There are too many after shows to list, but we recommend you check out The Music Never Stopped, a citywide festival featuring acts such as Railroad Earth, Gene Ween, Particle, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The festival takes place at various venues across town. Brunch the Next Day: City Winery’s brunch shows will feature food and performances by Steve Kimock and Jerry Joseph, plus never-before-seen Dead videos. Mandolin legend David Grisman should provide a nice landing at his Sunday gig at the Palmer House Hilton (17 E. Monroe St.). Bound to Cover Just a Little More Ground: Around the City Carol’s Pub | Uptown: Cheap beer. Outlaw country. Carol’s (4659 N. Clark St.) is about 10 miles from Soldier Field, but there’s definitely time to get there after the show—it’s open until 5 a.m. on Saturdays. On Saturday nights, the house band belts out a mix of Cash, Haggard, and Dylan to a raucous, line-dancing crowd. Jerry’s | Multiple Locations: You can guess where the name comes from. Locations in Andersonville (5419 N. Clark St.) and Wicker Park (1938 W. Division St.) feature tons of creative sandwiches, plus good beers and even better tunes. The Green Mill | Uptown: If you’re staying up north and looking for late-night music on Saturday, check out Sabertooth, whose Green Mill (4802 N. Broadway) gig runs from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. and will likely feature a few Dead tunes taken out for long jazzy walks. It won’t hurt to brush up on our guide to jazz shows before you go. Deadhead Pro Tip: If you’re at the Green Mill, look next door and give a nod to the now-shuttered Uptown Theatre. That was the Dead’s default Chicago home from 1979 to 1981. https://www.groupon.com/articles/grateful-dead-fare-thee-well-concert-i…

Thanks Totes - and for those that missed it, the identical information was already sent out in yesterday morning's Vol. XXX; No.1. It was a purposely re-posted note we all originally received from Geo on Sunday. So now you all have this 3x over :-) Cheers !!

I'm waiting for the 24-bit version. Maybe Elvis found missing tickets under the GDTS couch cushions. Did anyone else not receive tickets that first received a confirmation? Crazy weird. We need to get Elvis in the house to one last number for rrrrgrrrr. Font's I'm usually not reading all email unless I need to. I'm about 10 update editions behind in email, although the groupon thingy did look vaguely familiar. lol. I figure you'll have it all rounded up in one final grand email on July 1. Back to the mines......

Some days the barometer is on the smiling sun, other days on the rain cloud. Other days, it's just one the sun/rain. Although the destination is seen unclearly, we've got a lot of fair weather days ahead of us before the barometer points to the stealie face in Chicago. Sojourn onward!

It takes 3 (unless it takes 7). I'm sure the SC re-release news release is on its 3rd release.

Dogs without bones are unhappy dogs. We need happy dogs and happy dog owners. Post man is a head...give him the benefit of the doubt... for now. Elvis is drowning in tickets and envelopes...no doubt. Hold on tight. At the end of the sojourn this will all just be a small part of the sojourn. Storms...at least a few more on the horizon. Count on that.
