    Oceanic Feeling
    Looking at shots of the sea of Heads made me reflect upon the idea that when in "the mystical state some individuals can at times massively regress (progress?) to a condition of de-individuation, to the 'oceanic feeling' in which Self and Not-Self are one in pantheistic harmony and union." - Weston La Barre; The Ghost Dance

    UK Deadheads?
    I went to see the 'Live' cinema show on Monday 6th at Star City, Birmingham, UK and it was wonderful! Only thing was - there were only 6 of us in the audience! I didn't understand at all as when I saw the Ratdog concert in nearby Bilston, there were plenty of folks. Can anyone tell me why there was so few at Birmingham? Thanks to everyone who arranged the showing of the concert so far away, it was amazing to see all those thousands of people :)

    Fare Thee Well - Chicago 2015
    I went to Chicago with a guy who I saw the most Dead shows with over the years. I first saw the boys in 1984 at Pine Knob and my last show was at the Omni in 1995. I thought the guys did a tremendous job in putting together great setlists for each show. They only repeated Cumberland Blues and Truckin' during the 5 shows. I thought the final night in Chicago was amazingly strong and the atmosphere was unbelievable. China->Rider opener into a great Estimated! I was always a fan of Built to Last and they did the song justice. We got a Sunday song with Samson followed by a well-jammed Mountains Of The Moon. Throwing Stones was over the top to close the first set. The fireworks at intermission was very cool and lasted about 10 minutes. I heard Miracle in the opening notes for the 1st song of the second set, but got the last Truckin! Thank You, BOYS!!! Everyone was waiting for Terrapin and Trey played not only extremely well on it, but he did a very admirable job every night. I am not a Phish fan, but I have always liked his guitar work. Unbroken Chain never caught fire, but it was great to see them do it for the last show. I will say I never cared for The Days Between and I wish we got something else there, but to each their own. The great part of being a Deadhead is that we all have our favorites (and a selected few we do not want to hear). Not Fade Away was needed and outstanding. Thanks for the acoustic Attics to end the run! Love ya!

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...

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 :-)
