    Hey GUPPY Haters
    GRANTED Trey is no Jerry, but lets not knock phish, their music is alot different from the dead, they have there own style like rusred root, or string cheese ..etc... Any dead head should appriciate all types of music. I personally like phishes music, not to pleased with the crowd though, ive been to 3 phish shows and been ripped off in parking lot all three times. I dont hold it against the band though, truth of the matter is theres no LOVE in the crowd. PHISH IS NOT A DEAD SHOW!!!!!!!!! If any guppys are hittn the dead shows, PLEASE leave your BUNK items at home, this is a grateful tour, BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER, tickets are exspensive enuff, no sense in wasting money in the parking lot on something thats not real!! (YOU REAL HEADS KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT)

    What is your problem with yurts and communes? If people choose a lifestyle they should not be mocked in this forum. Please stick to the topic and stop insulting people because you disagree with the type of life they choose. I thought part of being involved in this scene was to be open to others and not judge them. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    Drumhead never saw the Dead.
    DRUMHEAD What about "Don't need some poser who didn't even see Jerry telling me about the Dead" did you not understand. These chumps are NOTHING w/o Jerry. Anyone who would be stupid enough to argue that never saw the Grateful Dead. Do you think they would have broken up if Bobby died? No way. Sorry that you never got to see the Grateful Dead. Tough break.

    Ineptitude
    "I have no problem with ticket prices. I do have a problem with ineptitude."--tuned88 My sentiments exactly. I got through to the ticket order page (no waiting room) 15 minutes after the sale started. I tired to order ONE ticket for MSG floor. it said that it could not fufill my request, try a lower number of tickets (which would have been ZERO, heh heh) or try a different section. I got the same response for the 100 section. I don't think the floor or the 100 section sold out in the first 15 minutes, although it's possible. I just think that the site was totally inadequate and unprepared for this presale, which is confirmed by the stories here. I particularly feel sorry for the people who were on the cusp of getting their tickets, only to be told that they had timed out, through no fault of their own. So I sent in a MO to GDTS TOO for my shot at one ticket to MSG.

    jayhawkfrank Didn't have to pay for most. Most respectable deadheads didn't. Didn't you ever hear of passes? That's where chumps like you come in. Somebody has to pay. Don't be so jealous of the fact that I saw the REAL dead, not the Greedful Dead. Bobby, Phil, Mickey and Billy were counting on fools like you. Way to go.

    AWEST27 - Mean People Suck! Ever wonder why JGB didn't quite get the Dead sound. Hey they sounded great and I loved JGB but it's Jerry, And Bob, And Phil, And Billy, And Mickey that made the Grateful Dead. It was a musical conversation between the 5 of them along with whichever keyboard player they had. The bus came by and I got on... again! If the bus stopped for you when Jerry died then so be it. But doggin' on 4/5's of The Grateful Dead because ticket prices are higher... Please take your negative comments somewhere else.

    You probably complained at all 500+ shows about the ticket prices so whats changed. 1969 Damn 5 bucks for the dead what a ripoff 1979 Damn 10 bucks for the dead what a ripoff 1989 Damn 20 bucks for the dead what a ripoff 1999 Damn 50 bucks for "the other ones" what a ripoff 2009 Damn 100 bucks for the dead what a ripoff Like I said in a previous post, Leave the yurt and the commune for a few minutes. You'll see nothing is cheap. Not that it really matters as you probably complain about the prices of everything. Gas, electricity, beer, smoke. Better yet stay on the commune as no one on here wants to hear 1 single word of complaint from you.

    DRUMHEAD. Did you get your name from banging your head against the wall as a child? Stopped counting after my 500th show. Don't need some poser who didn't even see Jerry telling me about the Dead. The Greedful Dead(Phil, Bob, Mickey and Billy) are in it for the money only. If you want to be played for a fool, that's your problem, not mine. Never saw Phish.

First show day! Cant wait to see what they play-I hope everybody has a good 'ole time down in N.C.- One more week, One more week!!!! Funny how now that The Dead are coming around all the radio stations ACT like they LOVE The Dead- The other day I heard a little commercial for the upcoming Worcester shows on a station that NEVER plays them, Then the DJ comes on all phoney like-"Oh, I Cant Wait!!!(Yeah right) I Dont know-I guess its like around St.Patricks Day, When everyone thinks they're Irish--LOL---Its all good because...ONE MORE WEEK!!!!! Dust off those rusty strings.........:-)

yo moye, A for effort. Happy Easter to you and everyone else, too!! also, folks, watch out for counterfeit tickets!! please don't buy ANYTHING from people you don't know. worst case: it is some poisen and you end up dead or in the ER other bad case: it is an undercover-fuzz selling you to set you up for a fall. (scalper or other stuff undercover fuzz) totally dissapointing scenario: you think you have a tix, but get turned back and shut out at the door trying to get in with a bogus ticket you bought off some asshole. PLEASE be carfeul with everything. drive safe!

From seeing the set list and hearing a bit from the stream is it a fair assessment that the show rocked last night? "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

Blew the roof off the top of the Greensboro Coliseum last night. Yes indeed, the show did ROCK! I wish Warren was a little more melodic with his leads, but why quibble? My internal organs are still shaking...GO AND SEE THIS TOUR!

Thank you to all in the Grateful Dead family for putting on this tour. Greensboro was an amazing musical experience. I am so grateful to this wonderful organization to offer the downloads of these shows as well. It always has been about the music. Sunday night in Greensboro was un-disputable proof that the boys are STILL the greatest band going. Thank you Phil,Bobby,Billy,Mickey,Jeff and Warren(who, by the way, did an amazing, amazing job filling those shoes. He was not flashy. Just showed in his own style, that he is one of the greatest guitarists on the scene today.) For all the Deadheads that will be attending the rest of the tour--enjoy yourselves. These shows are truly a gift to all the fans who realize just how special this music has been to us since the beginning. HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!

Can't believe that in 48 hours I will be in the parking lot of a Dead Show!!!! It has been 14 long years... can't believe it. They played Ripple last night - so psyched to hear the recording, but a little bummed I missed it, cuz most likely won't come out tomorrow - I'm also going Sunday so I will hope for that - and here is why: I am going with my 14 year old son who is incredibly pumped to be seeing the Dead. He thought he would never get the chance. Now...when he was a baby I would sign him to sleep with... Ripple. The song became a real bond between us through the years, so when I heard that they played it in NYC I thought that it would be the perfect moment (OK, that and the fact I never saw it live when we were all still Grateful too). I am so excited I can hardly keep a thought in my head. You know what - never mind - I don't care what they play. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

I try not to wish ill will on anyone, but I have to say I'm glad they're gettin burned. Also glad the boyz provided charity seats to help combat the issue. We scored a charity pair front row Phil side for 19th!!!!
