    Re Ticketmaster---TicketsNow
    Actually, the article that you posted is misleading. Here is a link with the entire apology from the CEO of Ticketmaster. He apologizes that Springsteen fans were redirected to Tickets Now, and that it won't happen again. However, he states explicitly that Ticketmaster does not redirect tickets to Tickets Now. There is a big difference between the two. Springsteen probably had a ticket pre sale like the Dead, and that is why there were Tickets available on Tickets Now right as Ticketmaster sold out. With regard to the Dead, the pre sale and mail order were the likely causes that Ticketmaster ran out of tickets so fast at venues like MSG. Now if you want to complain about Ticketmaster's fees, I will not be defending them. :) http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/02/ticketmaster-to.html

    There may be something to the belief that Ticketmaster redirects tickets to TicketsNow, bypassing fans. I hope that someone gets to the bottom of this. http://www.northjersey.com/news/njpolitics/ticketmasterprobe020509.html

    Possible xtras for Chi-Town...
    I mail ordered a pair for Chicago and am hopeful that I'll get them. In an effort to hedge my luck, I was able to grab a pair from the evil Ticketmaster when tickets hit the street. If GDTSTOO comes through, I will be left with an xtra pair that I will happily lay on someone for face value. They will be of the cheap(?) $50.00 variety and as soon as I know for sure, we can pursue a path of easy transaction. If interested, PM me.see y'all out there, DooDahh His job is to shed light, not to master...

    This ticket master thing feels like one big joke. It almost seems that we'd be better off finding a ticket in the lot the night of the show!Maybey even cheaper then ticket master.Phatmoye

    Those are good folks there, I was able to get a Nassau tix at the last minute, faxed in a credit card form, I have never been disappointed about their service!!! The message said that tix would be mailed out in the next couple of weeks, if you havent got a rejection letter and money order back yet, you probally got tix!!!

    I BELIEVE they posted a message that all orders would be filled EXCEPT MSG and Shoreline and that they'd be mailing out the rejections first, so on the whole I would say no news is good news. (The message in question is posted several hundred responses back, but I'm not sure exactly how many hundred at this point, so anyone with better or more current info is cordially invited to correct me.)

    don't get me wrong, I like bobby alot, was a bobby fan all thru the 70's, even before I saw the dead, i was a kingfish fan, (first dead show 9-77) caught ratdog in Oville in 07, with kimock, they did a days between that would have been on my original list but it was sooo good, it had the entire place sheading a tear, including Ace himself. it was truly inspirational to see bobby capture the bittersweetness of this wonderful tune. I don't think that bobby shouldn't sing any of Jerry's tunes, but there are just a few that are special to us all. but heck, let them try them, if they muck them up, it will just be another great memory. let there be songs to fill the air."

    No one can sing like Jerry
    No one can sing like Jerry and no one can play guitar like Jerry. I can understand the feeling that some songs will never be the same with someone else singing them. However, most of these are great songs that shouldn't be buried never to be heard live again. I've heard Warren do a very moving Stella Blue! The trick for me is to not expect it to sound like Jerry. Sometimes a different interpretation might bring new perspectives on an well known song. I intend to enjoy the show no matter who sings what!

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
