    FTW Story....
    This is the first installment of a journey that will take 3 hip ladies to Chicago from Boston; I'd like you to meet Althea, Bertha & Cassidy 3 gals who met each other at MSG 1990, they've been through the good times as well as the bad times, through marriages, 1 divorce & all 3 have 2 kids each, they share a strong connection in life & a stronger tie for there love of music, especially the Grateful Dead. It is 7:35 PM EDT, they made plans to meet at the site of the venerable Boston Garden at 5PM EDT, the vehicle they will be sharing the driving will be an ultra cool 1957 Willys pickup 4X4 just like the one Sugar Magnolia drove. As they go thru various states they will encounter MANY people along the way, in fact just before they began the journey the met a captain, & strange one at that asking if they'd like to out on the harbor in his Ship of Fools they said no, as the Race Is On to Chicago he asked for what they all replied simultaneously, FARE THEE WELL he said oh the one with Annabelle, they replied again simultaneously, that's the one!!!!! So now they're On The Road heading down I-95 with 9/26/91 in the tape deck, they want to stop in NYC, just to get in a "New York" state of mind before they head to the Windy City. Tomorrow I will tell you more as I have a story to tell, the story ends with the girls arriving in Chicago on Friday BEFORE show time, until then STAY DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Might as well...
    One more contest! Someone leaked the setlists before the Santa Clara shows, so I guess we'll have to come up with something different this time in case that person does the same for Chicago. Rumors are swirling about who might make a guest appearance this weekend, so we're going to have a 2-part contest. The first person to correctly guess how many guests will join the boys onstage during the course of the 3 shows will receive a piece of original Grateful Dead artwork as a prize. Additionally, the first person to correctly guess the name of the first guest appearing onstage will also win a prize. IMPORTANT: Read the Rulez before entering! 1) Only one entry per person, one number and name per entry. An individual's duplicate guesses will be ignored and only the first guess will count 2) Yes, "zero" is a number, and "nobody" is a name 3) Entrant must have a dead.net "joined" date of 6/30/2015 or sooner (to prevent guesses under more than one user name. I know how sneaky y'all can be!) 4) A "guest" is someone not in the announced configuration of the band who appears onstage and sings and/or plays an instrument (yes, a cowbell is an instrument - damn straight!). Guest must be a legitimate, recognizable musician/singer. Guys in the crew banging on stuff behind Billy and Mickey don't count. Politicians/promoters/announcers don't count. 5) Multiple appearances by a guest on a single day counts as ONE. Appearances by a particular guest on 2 or 3 days counts as TWO or THREE, respectively. For example, if Taylor Swift joins the fellas on Friday and Sunday, that counts as 2. If Kenny G is there Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that counts as 3, in which case I might beg the good Lord to call me home on the spot! 6) Only guesses sent to me in a PM will be considered. Anything posted in a forum will be ignored. Oh, yeah...please keep the PMs short and sweet 7) Entries will be accepted from 5:00 PM Pacific time on Thursday, 7/2 through 3 PM Pacific time on Friday, 7/3. Guesses submitted outside those parameters will be ignored 8) First person to guess correctly wins (determined by order of appearance in my inbox) 9) Past winners of prizes will sit this one out so someone new can share the goodies. Those folks are JimJohn, mbarilla, Syracuse78 and Strider88. Thanks for understanding, guys. 10) Yes, OF COURSE the rainbow was real. Sheesh! Disclaimers: Contest is null and void if guests are announced prior to 3 PM Pacific time on 7/3. This contest is not affiliated in any way with dead.net, Rhino, Musictoday, MaryE, band members, the ghost of Pigpen, seagulls hovering above Lemieux, etc. Just little ol' me! Have fun at the shows and good luck!

I paid for all 5 nights video and got a message that my credit card had been billed. But when I try to watch get asked for a Username and password. I was never asked for a username. Tried the email address about 20 times, no good. Been on hold with the phone help line for an hour. Concert starts in 25 minutes. This is a PPV abortion. And of course there are lots of disclaimers about how there will be no refunds. MLB.com you seriously blew this one.

I'm in on my laptop. But via Chrome, not internet explorer. With IE, I was getting the same login issue that others are having. You should be able to enter your email address and password that you set up with you did the "Redeem" from the email.

Sorry for all those having trouble logging in, try google chrome instead of internet explorer as previously mentioned. Wow, for a guy who's been "off the road" for 25 years (saw approx 150 shows, last in 1990), it's a little overwhelming to have mid-floor views on the big screen, so many memories are washing over me already. Really glad to be a part of this, no matter how it differs from the dream we dreamed long ago...

YouTube stream works great on PC, iPhone,Chromecast, and even Roku (it;s SD on Roku, but they said it wouldn't work at all, so better than nothing).

I want to give Trey the benefit of the doubt, but he just looks like an outsider up there, doesn't fit in with the boys. Maybe by day 5 he will.

My friend texts it as Slipnot>Truckin'. Maybe the instrumental intro wasn't recognized. Totem: You're probably right. I think the intro was not recognized by my friend — or maybe she really wanted to hear it. I'll bet Trey is holding his own.

Since I've been stuck here in the hospital for the past 3 days it's nice to hear some good vibes. Guess I'm lucky I got shut out of these shows, would've missed them anyway.

It's moving to see the boys together again--- my wife broke into tears a few times--- I can't criticize, this is a dream come true. Phil looks vibrant and happy, they all do and they sound amazing after 50 years. Can't wait for Trey to let loose

What do you mean by that? @uconnjhd: I think you're right, and it's a clever way to point out another legendary long break, but perhaps also put them down for being old and slow. I guess I'm a little over-sensitive, as I am old and slow myself, and have had personal experience with defibrillators. They're not exactly something that you hit on like an asthma inhaler :-)
