Grateful Dead

I, for one, am overjoyed despite the frustrations with the server crash. Hey, it happens. sucks, but it happens (i know, i work with servers every day) but you curse the dreaded computer gods, deal and get on with it. How some people can blame the band for this is way beyond me... Anyway... I ended up with tickets (total of 4) for 3 shows (Worcester, NYC, Hartford) and didn't think twice about the money...not because i don't have to, but because i decided that i could, and would make this a priority at this point in time. Lucky, yes, I suppose so. Stupid? probably that too but like someone else said above... you only live once ...and nothing makes me happier than being at a show, so you do what you can to make it happen. Sometimes it works out, sometimes life dictates otherwise. It worked out for me this time around so yes, i'm pretty damn psyched. The fact is, the prices didn't surprise me in the least and was actually pleased it wasn't more. I live in CT so i'm used to paying out the nose for everything including concert tickets and Saturday night hotel rooms in NYC... and God knows they could command a hell of a lot more than 100.00 per ticket and still sell out in less than an hour so again, i choose to look at the bright side. seriously, have you people been going to rock shows lately? maybe a reality check is in order. So to all those who feel a need to bitch and moan about everything.. and it's mother, please... either relax and enjoy the ride, or get off the bus at the next stop. And to all those happy and grateful fellow heads (real dead heads) who are on this site for all the right reasons, I look very forward to enjoying the magic with with all of you!!! "so the kids they dance, they shake their bones"...

Amen to cc eoj and Ginker49 I am listening to Lay Down Sally from cc eoj's U Tube post and am just happy I get to experience some of that once again!! Be nice to each other - it all works out in the end.

Amen to cc eoj. I've been to 15 Ratdog shows and the vibe, spirit and community is always there. This is not about money. Fools only care about the money, I feel sorry for you.

AND, everyone, please stop the flaming of other people. please stop the personal insults or attacks. if you want to complain about something, feel free to do so, freedom of speech and so on, but this site doesn't tolorate giving other people shit. you may, of course, disagree with someone's opinion, and feel free to do so, but please do not attack others. PLEASE, be respectful of others and what others choose to do! Please. pretty please with sugar on top. this site is a safe haven for heads. a home. our home, you are most welcome inside, but keep it warm for everyone, please. everyone is welcome here, but please don't spit on the floor of this bus. thankx. love and peace.

Naw they can "feel jerry's presence" or whatever marketing BS they were spewing in their tour promo videos. Nauseating. At least when the rolling stones charged a bunch of money for tickets their main guys were not dead.

I would pay whatever the price to see the dead,but 95.00 plus added etc...?!!!!! What is it some kind of a farewell tour or something?

He's made valiant efforts to play places those guys dont rule keeping his ticket prices low. How bout a college gymnasium tour, guys?

Sadly no one in the band or organization reads this stuff or really cares. Welcome to the new American Dream. Rip off the Deadheads

But I ain't bending over for 10.
