Grateful Dead

Got all my stuff together, ready to mail. Gotta have faith, thx. Could be beautiful. THX so much, so nice to hear I'm on the right branch of the tree. I've got 40+ 2nd generation show sets. Love to share with you, and/or all... THX again. I double checked all my info. Your list makes me feel I've been diligent. Have to mail tomorrow, before work. all love during the tour...

Hey Dead Randy,All the members of the Dead have played Portland in the past few years. Phil did two shows at the Crystal in Portland, Ratdog has played here in the Northwest several times; at least once a year for the past six; Mickey Hart has played the Alladin twice, and next month Bill Kreutzmann Trio is at the Crystal to with Karl Denson. $25 at the box office!! They have not left us out. Lets just hope we get some summer love with a lot of lawn space!!

Will the Great Northwest ever get a Dead Show again. It has been about 6 years. Phil played here once since then. Why leave us out? It doesn't always rain here.

I'll be bringin the good vibe to L.A. and prayin for a summer tour on the West Coast. It'll be my partners first show and we scored some of the best $50.00 tix. I'm feelin the magic is still here. Thanks for the Spring Tour Boys!!!

I can't believe almost all the shows tix are $95-99.00That put an end to my planned tour of eleven shows, I won't even go to one. Disgraceful, Ungrateful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that the ticket stuff could have been more perfectly executed but that's alright. I've felt kicked in the nuts before by GDTS in years past when I took care of things early and often so I'm acutally really happy right now! Virtual tickets in my imaginary pocket with a whole lot of anticipatory expectations ... with all the stuff going on in the world isn't this wonderful to look forward to? Loving the possibilities and potential! The love you get is the love you give ... so let's give a bunch of it! Peace to you all ...

Hi all, Some folks I know got tickets for Greensboro today, and I'm happy for them. Part of me is still trying to swallow the pill of the pricing and the ticket system. I feel The Dead are well worth the money, but the fact is, I don't feel they should. Its weird. The way I look at it is that we have been some of the most dedicated fans out there. Folks that have gone to Dead shows for years and years have never come close to having to pay this much for a show, myself included. My main point is If it weren't for people like us going to many, many, shows and buying many, many cds, dvds, books and GD merchandise, the band would not have the lifestyle they have. But there are people like us, who love the Grateful Dead, and while there are many of us, we all have helped contribute a great way of life for the band and vice versa too. I wouldn't be the person I am without the GOD DAMNED GRATEFUL DEAD!!! I mean seriously. But without us, they wouldn't be where they are either. We all help to change eachothers lives one way or other. They give us great music and we go see it and buy it and enjoy it. I know there are a lot of other musicians who charge a shitload of money and don't care about their fans, only about themselves, and the one thing that the Dead were always so good about was being part of what the Dead community is all about; HELPING EACHOTHER OUT. Whether they want to admit it, they are putting it to us. $105 plus service charges to get a good seat at Shoreline. That sucks guys! Really, it does. I still love the guys, but I really am kind of bummed out by it. I'm not a cheap guy either. Anyhow, Peace everyone and I hope the shows are great! Seriously, have a good time for me.

Longrifle-In days of yore, i did a lot of dead taping (40-50 shows a year). Taper tickets were almost always only available through GDTS. I can only think of a couple of times when this was not the case. So, go ahead and order tckets via mail order. I think you'll have a very good chance of getting taper tickets if your order is post marked on the 14th (if for no other reason than there aren't as many tapers nowadays). just remember to to "taper tickets please" on the outside of your envelop (alaong with the vene date and number of tickets- 2 max for taper). good luck- and make some great tapes!

Yes, it blows, the process was hosed and it's WAY too expensive. That said, I was fortunate enough to attend the New Year's shows and I can personally attest that music is different, but it still brings a smile to my soul. 50 years upon my head so I've seen a lot of good and bad, stuff go down. I'm disappointed with the way this tour has been launched, but it's the kind of disappointment I feel when a family member or close friend does something to hurt me. I don't like it, it makes me sad for awhile, but ultimately I still love them and choose to get on with it if I can or remove myself if I have to. And so it shall be here. Shows were too big a part of my life for too many years to give it up because of one really disappointing experience. Maybe that makes me a fool, but I'll live with it unless and until it happens again. Then we'll see. Hopefully we'll all be repaid in kind at some point. I sure hope. Fare thee well and travel in peace and health.............

How do these pre-sales work? Will the tickets that go on sale Jan. 24 be more expensive than these? People who bought pre-sale get closer seats? I'm just wondering if the hassle was worth it.
