    I think of deadnet as a
    I think of deadnet as a community. A community is the people it is made up of. The community here is important, insightful, wonderful, magical and above all, a place where good vibes and good friends play off one another. It is important because there are very few places on our little planet where history, hope, peace, love still have a voice. It is important because it is insightful, into the lives and thoughts and actions of a group of people that seek a better world...a peaceful world, a world of lifting your neighbors up, a world of understanding and void of unthoughtful judgement. It is important because it is a place of wonder. A place where the music and the words of a group of people continue to bring new meaning to many of us everyday. Words and music that transend time and space. It is magical because...well just because magic happens here. I have seen it. Ask tigerlily. It is a place where we all can come and bounce thoughts and experiences off one another. And when we do that, I think we all want good vibes to bounce around us. And that is why I believe good vibes are essential, they are infectious and they are much more stable and therefore more inclined to color our lives. So the more good vibes there are in the people here, the more wonderful, loving, enriching, and fulfilling this community becomes for all of us. peace,pk

    okay folks...
    it's been about 48 hours since the presale dust settled and the adrenalin started to subside. Old Heads and new Heads are all welcome here regardless of whether they spoke with Jerry or not, but only if they treat each other with civility and respect. So enough with the bad vibes, name-calling, and Deader-than-thou, please. Lordmonkey, don't worry! You will find nice folks and have a great time! And if you say you are a Dead Head, there's no one can say you're not.

    Venue Forum Threads
    I was just wondering since I am not allowed to start a thread yet if anyone is going to start threads on the different venues.. I am going to Shoreline and would like to possibly make arrangements to meet with other from the forums..I would also like to hear about the venue since I have never been there and don't know what to expect as far as prior to the show..I will be Trucking (flying) from Seattle... I was posting alot prior to ticket sales but haven't had as much time since then and just went through the rest of the threads.. WOW..Lets just all get along ..I was just @ the store and saw a kid in his late teens possibly early 20's in a wheel chair with a permanent disibility..He has it alot worse than the majority of us and you know what...He was smiling...

    pomo1, Did Jerry talk to you from beyond? If not, you have not spoken to him. You did not personally know Jerry and you certainly don't talk for him. Talk to Debra about that. Yes, you are the judgmental posers we use to laugh at. Get over it. You can't change it. Everybody needs humor.

I heard from my brother who, was with me in albany, that tonights show in buffalo was night and day compared to albany. He called me at work during the set break and said the Dead were ripping and down to business. Wish i saw that show. the setlist looks awesome. Anybody got a review from buffalo?

Was amazing! Great vibes all through the Shakedown across from the DCU. The music was tight, the crowd was just a sea of positive energy. Security was at a bare minimum. I think that about sums it up :-).

From what i understand, T Gore went to Congress to urge 'Warning Labels' to be put on explicit material..she wasn't out to censor the music.... Touchy subject, but i see both sides of the coin...

I remember when Tipper was second lady and Mickey used to visit the White House to give her drumming lessons. How cool was that? And, does anyone remember her at the opening ceremony for the Atlanta Olympics when she sat by Al's side as he grooved with Mickey's performance? And, as I write this on Earth Day, more than a tip of my hat, I say hat's off, to her for giving Al the idea to create a companion book for his slide show, which ended up getting his climate message out to an even wider audience. It was great to see some Deadhead DC royalty up on that stage. I figure she was Obama's ambassador of Dead. We're everywhere. No doubt about it.

April 23, (Earth Day plus 1), tune into CBS to see The Dead sitting-in with Dave and Paul Schaefer. Pull out the Closing of Winterland video and check out the Blues Brothers gig, and see if you recognize the keyboardist.

...Yeah, The whole scene at Worc. Sun. night was sweet- My wife and I arrived real early(11:30) and found a real cool lot right next to the DCU and it was already buzzing with Tourheads setting up shop(nice) We met tons of cool people and the weather was sweet! It was my wife's first REAL Dead show and she kept sayin' "This is so cool,No wonder you always went to The Dead" Sorry to say though-She liked the show,But she was'nt really down w/the early 60's stuff they played or the long jams(Both of which I LOVED) She was like, "I liked "Uncle John's Band" and "Fire on the mountain" and "Good Lovin"... But not all the "long jamming"..In her defense though, She's used to concerts where the band plays all their "hits" every night...(BORING).. But I said "Hun, That's not what The Dead is all about...It's about exploration of music and mind, and new discoveries."......Long silence.....Weird look...Then,"Well I liked "Uncle John's Band" HaHaHa!!!! Oh well, Ya' cant win 'em all !!! :-)(-: Next Stop-RATDOG Hampton Beach This July...This time maybe she'll GET SHOWN THE LIGHT........P.S. Thank-you D&K for a wonderful time in Worcester....It TRULY was magical..............Peace. ♪♪♪♪:-)

Same lot we were at, we stayed at the Hilton so we had a clear view before we even headed down. We probably crossed paths several times. We are going to see Bob Weir-RatDog at the Festival Up North in Aug. I am trying to get a feel on the scene there though. So many friggin rules listed on their website. I am wondering if it is just a CYA situation or if they are really that strict.

Haa thats great! I had to chuckle .. Reminds me of my wife. She's a great sport and she has warmed up to the music and enjoys the shows and the scene but still to this day she still doesn't "get it". She wants me to take her to Reo Speedwagon and Styx... uhhh yeah sure I say... :-) Oh and 38 special let's not forget them they'll be there too :-) "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

To those of you who haven't heard the 4/19 Worcester show -- give it a listen. It was a monster. And to those who don't like it: guys, if you don't like this, I'm not sure the band will play anything on the tour that you will like.

Being a veteran of many shows at the Coliseum, last night was amazing. Just the scene in the lot was trans-splendid. Vending, partying, drumming and everyone was cool... even the police. They sat there, on horseback, and just smiled. Every scalper was selling seats at half box office price. Karma's a bitch, dude. The show jammed out. Lost Sailor Easy Wind fucking brilliant. Kudos out to everyone for making it a Grateful Dead experience. Truly a high time for one and all. Peace and Love.

They were selling singles and pairs you couldn't walk around without someone selling tix. A lot of heads chewed them down to $100 a pair. Sweet!

This is the only show I could make this year, by some miracle or miracles . The reviews have been sweet, as well as the set lists. Not to put down anyone, but the UNCOOL and UNKIND ones please keep the good times roll. Leave the bunk in the trunk. Seriously if a DEADHEAD ruled the world or even advised this wonderful country we belong to, why would u take your family for a fool. Need to shake my bones and take in all the love.

Went to the Worcester shows with wife and friend. He paid $100 for some plain white blotter from someone that "looked" like a head, talked like a head, and appeared to be honest, but alas, it was bunk.What a bummer, not only did he trust that he was going to get something good to enhance the time at the show, he is out $100! I know that's the chances one takes, but unlike the "old" days, the costs have gone up so you feel the loss that much more.

I've got the Jersey & Philly shows coming up. My buddy is joining us for those ones too, and it probably would not be a good scene to run into that "wolf" as he would just as soon give him a $100 worth of ass whoop! In a way I would love to see him get a beating, the crook, but wouldn't want to have to deal with any possible arrests as that would be insult to injury!I guess the "grateful family" has been infiltrated by those that have no problem thieving. I know they have always been out there, but it definitely becomes more personal when they burn you! ! What it ends up doing in the end, sadly, is make it hard to trust the next person.

I don't even want the guys ass beat, I just want my buddys $160.00 back!! Hell, with $160.00 I could of got another floore seat for Chitown shows and a concert shirt. Ive had more luck with DSO shows then this tour so far. Oh well, its all about the music anyway. EVERYBODY!!! Watch each card you lay and play it slow.Peace- Moye

Hi- Here's the deal. I'm a taper and have a taper ticket for both nights at Izod in NJ. I have floor tickets to get my wife and kids onto the floor with me on Tuesday but not Wednesday (they're 5 & 3 and she's pregnant) so I need them to be close to me. I need to trade my 3 regular tickets for Wednesday for 3 floor tickets. They can be ANYWHERE on the floor (the further back, the better for me). The 3 regular tickets I have are in Section 122 which are RIGHT ON THE SIDE near the stage! These are MUCH better seats than the back of the floor. Of course, I will hook you up w/ copies of the shows from Nassau, MSG, the 2 nights of NJ and the 2 nights of Philly (the 6 I went/am going). Please let me know asap!! Thanks!!
