    Wave That Flag!
    May have been mentioned above.... Band on stage will be the same as the "Wave That Flag" tour six or eight years ago. The band plus Haynes and the Ratdog keyboard dude. They were great! Wait till you hear Warren Haynes sing Morning Dew, you'll melt even without spiritual aids.

    did either of the Obama rallys actually 'sell out'?? OK, somewhere in Pa whereever that was ain't Shorline or MSG but.... I really do not think getting 'in' will be a problem with these shows. even a few weeks before NYE they weren't sold out through ticketmaster for the RatDog / Phil shows, and the Graham Civic Center is something like only 7,000 seats. this ain't the touch head era no more, folks. peace.

    register
    seemed to me the register thing was just to get an email with info about the tour / sales. free to do that, and you do not even have to give personal info if you don't want to, so why not register, man? I took a peek at that ticketBlow . com site, what a crock of shit! scalper site to be avoided by all means, seems to me, ticketmaster (and thier subsideary company) wants to maximize profits from mooks willing to fork over buckets of cash for seats,. seems to me, they don't even really know which seats you would get, most of the listings I peeked at said something like, this section or equivilent seats or upgraded... it is a major bummer and buzz-negator that we get a hint at a pre-sale but no details and no info what to do and everyone is running around in circles chasing their tails speculating. come on dead . net, let us know the skinny! please, pretty please with sugar on top! the gdts mail order tix will also start on Jan 13th, but I reckon that means your envelope needs to be post-marked on that date and not before and on that date they will tell you how much the tix cost. where are the all night post-offices anyways?? does this mean Hawaii heads have an advantage with the time difference??

    Phish schedule, open around Bonnaroo...
    Found an article with Phish's schedule (at least the start of the summer part), note the open dates on Bonnaroo weekend -- Bonnaroo should announce their lineup in a few weeks. Sure would be a good place for the Dead to launch a summer tour!

    In all likelihood, the presale wil involve GDTS. Ticketmaster will kick-in a week or so later. Ticketmaster may have a separate presale where a password is utilized. I can't imagine Ticketmaster will be a part of the dead.net presale offer (see first sentence above). Most of all, remember Jerry Garcia has passed away and nothing's gonna bring him back; therefore, recognize now that Warren Haynes will be pickin that lead guitar and belting-out many of Jerry's vocals. ....one more thing I just gotta say, I need a miracle, everyday.....

    TicketsNow is desperate measures
    I can get better seats for a fraction of the cost getting tickets the normal way. TicketsNow is a broker that I would only use when the venue is completely sold out and I was desperate enough to pay up to $600 a seat. The thing with them is you could use them as a last resort not a first! I guess it just leaves more "normal" tickets for the rest of us to get so go for it! :-) "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

    Yuppers, rowdyroddy, I wanted these two tix..I called ticketmasters and they referred me to their sister site, ticketsnow.com..I'm sure I paid the 'price'..yet the price is whatever it's worth..and to me the price is 'priceless'..ticketsnow.com are sending the tix out by fed express by 1/13/09. Ah..cassidysdada..DO IT!! Let her have an alternative/altering experience!! I couldn't sleep at all last night..was so pumped..a once in a life time experience with my beautiful son and me!

    I am surprised that most of
    I am surprised that most of you have never heard of a pre-sale. Pretty much any band with a decent size and/or extremely loyal fan base does this now-a-days. The pre-sale just gives these loyal fans a chance to jump on tickets before the general public i.e. people who don't checkout Dead.net daily :-) If you miss out on the pre-sale for whatever reason you can do the mail order or just get tickets when they go on sale to the general public. It is just another tool to get tickets, it's nothing more than that. I think the Dead are going to find out (which they should have all ready known) that they could have played at least 2 nights at each venue.

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!!!!
