    It's the 30th anniversary of this show, so I slapped it in the player. I suggest folks do the same, if only to hear Bobby explain that Phil had been taken by aliens during the intermission!

    Listen to the Obama benifit shows!
    Playing it right now, and its awsome. kinda resembles the early 70's shows, most of the shows are jamed out like 15 min or more. Minus jerrys singing you couldnt ask for more, it seems to be more crisp and with more energy than the last dead shows in the 90's. If its any sign of whats to be with this tour, than the music will be great. It would be cool if they did like DSO does and pick a past set list and play it, preferably from 73' since there tended to be alot of shows with 3 sets. I wasnt happy about the prices either but you wont regret it when your at the show, from now untill april is plenty of time to adjust your life style and be able to put some money back. Quit going out to eat, dont buy name brand food, hault all purchases besides bills, theres countless ways of coming up with the money. Think about the last thing you really needed or wanted but didnt really have the money to get it but you managed to aquire it. Most things are possible if you got enough gumption.

    you folks are missing the point
    All this comparison to other bands and price talk " They are not the best at what they do they are the only ones that do what they do" IMO while the "core four" have slipped somewaht recently their is NO denying that the product they deliver is awe inspiring. Case in point dating back to Bobby and Tom C at tower theater shortly after jerry passed, too SPAC july 4th in the rain, red rocks shows 03 and 04, little schoolgirl in AZ 04, Shoreline to end the 04 tour. AND yes i saw "jerry" over 75 times ...if you cup is empty... if your cup is full may it be again

    Five Simple Ways to Save Yourself Hundreds of Dollars a Month
    If you really can't afford $100 then try the following. You have a few months to save! 1. Cash back at the pump In the past five months gasoline prices have dropped 56%, from an average price of $4.11 to $1.80 a gallon. Somehow, households found the money to pay the higher price and survive so now people should take that excess money they are saving and bank it. 2. Supper savings Americans will spend an average of $34 this year every time they go out to eat dinner, that's for one dinner, drink and gratuity; $76.00 if they live in one of the 20 most expensive cities. If a couple does that four times in a month the expense is close to $300 in low-cost areas and $600 in higher-cost regions, and if you have more than one drink or are treating family or friends, costs can add up quickly. 3. Renegotiate bills You may not be able to negotiate with the gas company or the electric company, but you can with credit cards, cable and phone services, among others. Do the homework and find out what competing cable companies, for example, are offering and ask your provider to renegotiate your bill. You may have to get through to a manager but Chatzky said she recently did this and got her monthly bill reduced by $50. 4. Smart shopping Retailers are poised to have one of the worst holiday shopping seasons in decades and are offering deep discounts to move merchandise. But smart shoppers can save even more money by hunting down coupons. Before ordering online or going to a store, go to sites like Couponcabin.com and Ultimatecoupons.com or Google the name of a store and often you'll get a coupon code to enter at checkout. You can save 10% to 20% or more on the total order or maybe get free shipping. There are also coupons to print out and take to the store for deeper discounts. And don't be afraid to pit one retailer against another by asking for a price match on sale items. 5. Keep the receipt It is important to hang on to all your store receipts and keep track of sales. Savvy shoppers can possibly save even more on purchases by checking back to see if the retailers lower prices even further. If that happens within two weeks of your purchase, most stores will credit you the difference. see you at the philadelphia spectrum may 2nd

    DARK STAR ORCHESTRA
    For those of you who have seen DSO, IN don't have to tell you that if you close your eyes you would swear jerrys on stage. IN wouldn't mind seeing the lead singer of DSO sitting in on a show or 2, it would probably be a dream of John K. PS. THANK YOU DARK STAR ORCHESTRA FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORYS AT NELSONS LEDGES!!!!!

    Summer...
    Spring may not work out but the fact they're out there gives me hope for humanity. My 1st show was St.Louis in 1970, and even though I will try Chicago, if I don't make it I'll be grateful for all those who do. I mean, they're so many DH's that haven't ever seen the boys, so if my missed seat goes to one of those folks, I'll be dancin' just because of that. Let's all have a grate time, celebrate in joy & love...and Summer at Alpine, please. Steve

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

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

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 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:)

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
