    Lighting...
    Does anyone know if Candace will be doing the lighting scheme for the tour? The Dead are to appear on Letterman one of the days when they're in NYC on tour. And prayers to you, your daughter and family for healing of her ailment...Peace, Steve

    My little niece had the same thing a month or so ago. Once she got into the doctor it cleared up fairly quick but I feel for you. Nothing is more sad than a little one in the hospital not feeling good. "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"

    P.S.-
    It would mean alot to me if everyone would say a prayer for my daughter Cassidy,(age 3) who's in the hospital right now with a UTI-(urinary track infection) We brought her to the ER around midnight after her fever would'nt break and she was crying alot- I was there all afternoon yesterday and the poor little thing had an IV and stuff sticking in her arm-But I think she's gonna be fine-when she woke up she was laughing and playing and being her happy little self!! I know this is off-topic,but every prayer helps-especially from cool,positive people like my extended Deadhed family,Thank-You,George :-)

    oh,man I hope they were'nt on idol last night/I removed it from the DVR because Lost tapes at the same time and I wanted to rent a movie for my kid! me thinks DeadheadLand was having some 4/1 fun!! they would'nt really fit in to that scene! JSfromCO-That would be priceless to see paula shroomin'!! I think Randy would be a blast to party with!(DOG) Who said They're goin' on Letterman?(WHEN?) Phatmoey-How do you get a picture next to your username like that using a PS3??? 10 more days till the tour starts!! ♪ :-) ♪ Even though I cant go,(Im hoping for a fall tour) Im still wicked excited for everyone else!!!

    So Happy
    U know i have been out of it a few years. The first show i caught after jerry passed was when i went to texas to see willie nelson, i didnt even know the dead were gonna be there,lol, but i sure was happy. After that i went to bonnaroo which was great fun and red rocks ( smoking shows) and the rest of the tour in 04 i think it was. Also caught some ratdog and phil in new orleans at the jazz fest 1 year and jackies b-day at the warfield was amazing. This 2009 tour is so exciting, i have never been happier than when i am dancing at a dead show and this tour will be great. Leaving San diego to hitchhike to n.c tomorrow, I hope i see u all there.

I just received my tickets for the Izod Center through GDTS TOO. I paid the price on their website when mail order went out but when I recently checked back the price had gone up from $53 face value to $94 face value. I got upper level tickets. I obviously wanted floor tickets. Has this happened to anyone else with GDTS TOO? Never the less, I am still very grateful for getting tickets at all! Thanks, Julia

Hey folks! I just posted my video from Roseland ballroom on Youtube. It is pretty good- I was in the first row! It is only a 10 minute compilation, but it's pretty cool. Check it out and message me to let me know if you liked it!!! That would make me so happy! xoxo alicina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur5_y3--d8E

Hey Alicina, thanks for the footage! It sounds very promising: Warren's playing is suitable melodic. I remember enjoying him at a few ABB shows and Guv't Mule. I like how the Dead's material gets him out of the straight ahead blues into more improvisation - nice ES335 too. The organ sounds great and even the singing is pretty good - go Phil! Love the harmonies. Nice wiggly camera during St.Stephen. Fun! Thanks.

Has anyone heard (or received email) notifications about mail order fulfillment for the Gorge? I haven't heard anything about fulfillment and am working on some travel plans but don't want to make any decisions until the tickets are in hand. Thanks and long live the Dead.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words and prayers. Little Cassidy is home now and doing much better!! You guys are awesome,Thanks again! On a lighter note- I recently moved and the dude who moved out said I could have all the crap in the basement, and among this crap was a bunch of old stereo equiptment-including some nice stuff like Bose speakers and some nice Pioneer tape decks and stuff. So naturally this sparked my interest in all my old Dead tapes(I have a shit-load as im sure alot of you do) anyway,To make a long story longer, I hooked up a bunch of this stuff and dug out my old tapes(oh yeah, on a side note, I plugged in an old CD deck and hit "open" and what was in the deck?-Grateful Dead/So many roads/Disc 3- Call it fate/nice score!) Anyhoo-I was all excited to go through my tapes and pick out some nice old nuggets only to discover that most of my tapes sound like garbage! :-( (muffled,hissy and just plain yucky!!) So, what I want to know is- Does anyone know how I would go about converting my old tapes into crisp,clear listenable(?) CD's??? Is that even possible? Somebody must do it! Those tapes bring back lots of smiles- Id love to hear them again!!!--Once again, Thanks everyone for the good vibes my little angel recieved-Means alot to me-G ♪♪:-)♪♪

Why don't you venture into the Vineyard, where tons of stuff is available. I completely disposed of my cassettes and now have a load of shows that are all digital. The people are all friendly and there are lots of non-dead stuff available too. While it may seem a bit confusing at first, once you get the hang of it, it is great. I think there is an explanation on how it works in the topic "New Vines 2009." Hope to see you in there. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

Here is an clip from my latest GDTS TOO update on 4/1/09: Thursday, May 14, 2009 at Shoreline Amphitheatre In Mountain View, CA. We will process this show the next couple of weeks. Saturday, May 16, 2009 at The Gorge in Quincy, WA with special guest Allman Brothers Band and The Doobie Brothers. We will processes this show in the next couple of weeks. They have already sent my ticket for Denver and my 1st Shoreline both of which are incredible seats!!! Gratefultwinz I am glad to hear your lil' one is doing better! It is a sad thing when my grandkids get sick. My youngest one just lost her first tooth - she is just too proud to show it to you - LOL! I luvs munchkins with all my heart and soul - I luv to spoil them too! AHH YES the joys of bein' a grandparent! Grandchildren and Grandparents we have a common enemy - LOL! I am working on getting my self well today - I tried going back to work yesterday which did not go very well. I unexpectedly sat down - only because there was a chair available, other wise I would have hit the floor. I'm not able to eat much which means I've got low blood sugars. I am still tryin' to adjust my insulin shots - the pharmacist suggested I drink pedialyte - nasty stuff no wonder kids don't like it. Thankfully no more problems with my heart or the turbo squirts. yeah like you folks really wanna hear all the details. Peace and positive vibes to each of you.... We're gonna pitch a ball Down to the union hall We're gonna romp and stomp till midnight We're gonna fuss and fight till daylight We're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long Shine On!

So glad to hear your daughters feeling better. Sweet score on the equipment in your basement. You can convert tapes to CDs and adjust the music levels to a certain extent. My dad does this alot on his old country musis tapes and some of my old tapes i've had for years. Also my friend, I e-mailed you with some pictures to use on your user ID. Enjoy!! Peace- Moye

First St. Stephen I hope you feeling better, I've read the last day or so of posts and you need to get better - there's a tour coming up! Second, GratefulTwinz, I'm glad to hear the little one is better as well, I have 2 little ones and it's so heartbreakign when they're sick. ANd last but not least, I picked up my first "for fun" read since graduate school - it's Phil's book Searching for the Sound and let me tell you, I"m loving it! I'm so excited for the upcoming shows, and just giddy all around. Anyway, just had to share my happy thoughts with my fellow friends here. I have come to think of this site as a home away from home with so many friends and interesting stories on every page. Okay enough rambling, have a grate day everyone! Can't wait for MAY!!!! ~Tam

Gearing up for 5 Dead shows in 8 days(with a BRUCE show in between.) How sweet it is. Peace and Love.

I am an insatiable reader who just joined the dead family in 2004, but I loved Searching for the Sound. I felt like I got to meet the family and really understand all the dynamics behind the band. Glad to hear you're loving it too! Crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune, Terrapin Station.

I went out to the parking lot this morning and somebody had stuck one long stemmed red rose into the snow in front of my car. I'll take it as a sign of good things to come very soon! Still hoping for 10,000 roses to fall from the rafters as the boys open up with Midnight Hour in Albany. ~Same old friends the wind & rain We'll see summer come again~ Hey Sway, Ain't no time to hate!

I am a travelling Head, currently in CT and I need a Miracle.No Tix, no car, little money, and a brother that needs the same. I hope miracles will happen as they always have for me and a kind friend I haven't met yet may be able to help this Head into the Greensboro show and get him a ride.

I am thinking about surprising my hubby and adding the Gorge onto our list of shows to see this tour since it falls on our anniversary. Would be a sweet and memorable gift. We would be flying in from the East coast. At the risk of sounding clueless - is Seattle the best hub to use? Any info on where to stay or other things to do while there would be terrific. (also thinking about renting an RV... Cheers:)

What's the deal w/the Thread Heads thing in Worcester(Wiisttaa) anyway? I know they want everyone to make Dead related quilts ro welcome the band(Which is a very cool idea(BTW) But where are they going to be displayed? It would be cool if they hung them all out in the hallways for all to see!:-) P.S. Bob Weir, If your reading this please play Cassidy/Deal sunday night. Thank-you,George

I am also interested in any information about lots near DCU. I'm driving up from New Jersey for the 4/18 show and would really like to revel in a full-day experience. Looking on the DCU Center website is making me worry that it is all garage (not tailgate friendly) parking. Twinz, if I find anything out about the pre-show/lot situation I'll be sure to share the word on this board. See you in Worcester. Peace
