    Hey all, who is going to Worcester. I secured 2 per night on presale and have mailed for 4 per night. was postmarked for the 13th so I should be good, Anyway 2 per night are already taken and am hoping a couple buds from back east want or can go but I may end up with some extra's. Also wanting to know if anyone out there is going to Worcester so we can get down. PM me Strangers stopping strangers. Caliopies and clowns, the circus is back in town weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Presale counter
    Anybody wondering why the presale counter reset? It looks like its counting down again. What happens in 7 weeks? 7 months?

    Okay...
    The presale was a complete disaster, we all agree on that.The ticket prices are more then we remember paying, that's the way it is. It's not 68, 77, 82, 90 anymore, it is now 2009 & I feel lucky that there is another opportunity to experience the experience again. There won't be many more, that I'm sure of... To those who couldn't get tickets yesterday, don't give up... I missed the Neil Young Massey Hall presale last year & pulled 6th row center on the regular release date. That was a tough ticket to get & I ended up 5 rows in front of Gordon Lightfoot! I can guarantee that there are still plenty of tickets out there & some very good 1's at that... To those who can't or won't swallow the $100 ticket, it's simple - don't go. I feel for ya' but I bet that if you dropped all or a few of your respective vices for a month, you would come up w/ more then a 100, I know I'll have to drop a few... Keep it cool in here, there's enough BS goin' on everywhere else, we don't need anymore... Long May You Run Everyone.

    Hey, Spaceboy69, I am 54 and I think
    that it is grate that the boys want to get together and make some noise with us again. And as far as the price, it would be wonderful if it was cheaper, but as others have so deftly displayed, this is NOT the highest priced ticket around. I really think that the difficulties with securing tickets were far more upsetting to most heads. I am excited for all of you that got tickets and will be out to see the band (especially you tigerlily!!). Soon the circus will be on the road, and that in and of itself is cause for celebration. Horray for you all that are going to get there. And for all of us that aren't, hey maybe there will be a summer tour, or even a fall run. Ain't gonna morn about these turn of events, it is time to dance. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

    any rumours on an opening act??
    don't know / haven't heard nothing about any opener... maybe none. if they had one, I think it would have been announced. anybody heard any rumours??? I'm hoping when the tix go on general sale there will be an announcement about a cooool opening act. I'd kind of love to see Jackie or Hunter opening... or preferably, BOTH!! but that may be a (cough cough) pipe dream. peace.

    Positive vibes still in L.A. where parking in my nieghborhood is now at $2.00 hour, lunch costs me $20.00, dinner is around $75.00, gas is a nice $2.19/gallon, parking at the forum will be about $25.00 and i still make $10.00 an hour. No, I don't think the Dead are greedy old men, LiveNation sucks and I have said that since there appearance not long ago. This economy sucks and it's not the fault of anyone here, (unless you voted for Bush) but that's another story. A night out at the nightclub will run you at least 100 bucks. I found a great hat yesterday, it was 120 bucks. You guys complaining need to grow up and dont try sayin you 55 or whatever. Its a new world we are on the verge of. Prices are up everywhere. We will adapt. WE WILL SURVIVE. LIVE ON. BE HAPPY. If you can't go, I am truly sorry as I am sure others are as well, but Please Don't Bring On the Negativity man. Peace -rob G

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!!!!

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!!!!
