    Last nights shows
    Didn't have the privilege of bein in NY last night, but I just finished listening to Roseland a couple of times, and after reading reviews on Philzone (bashing for the most part) I was pleasantly surprised. That was one hot show! People are bitchin that Bobby flubbed some lyrics and was speaking lyrics instead of singing. Hell he was flubbin lyrics in his prime. I always loved it! Good for a laugh and a memory. The mere fact he can remember most of the words to Desolation Row and She Belongs to Me is a super human feat. Dylan cant remember all the words and he wrote em. True he was changin the phrasing a little much, but like he said during the NYE run, “It's a work in progress” And of course the ever present complaints about Phils vocals. Who cares!! Never was his strong suit. As long as he at 69 years of age can still thump that thing the way he does, I don't care if he sings like William Hung. And they were cappin on his new bass too. Callin it the Wall Mart toy. I admit when I saw it back in December I thought it looked like a Guitar Hero prop, but he dropped a couple of bombs last night that rival his Alembic of the 70s (my fave). And of course talkin bout Bobby's weight. Again, who cares! Does anyone really want to see him in hot pants and a pink Lacrosse polo shirt anymore anyway (I didn't back then). That was midlife crisis at its finest! (LOL) The little teenyboppers in the first couple of rows were lovin it back then. I was happy to see from the balcony on New Years that he has the same bald spot as me. Someone even went as far as to say he thinks he's Jerry now or some such nonsense. Last night was the equivalent of the Valentines Day Warm up they did at the Warfield before they hit the road in 03. I listened to that again recently and it wasn't nearly what I remembered. Kinda like an old Volkswagen that needed some work. Bt the time they got back round to Bay Area it was a classic. Finely tuned and polished. What I heard from last nights shows was a freakin Lamborghini that needs a couple of pounds less air out of the tires so it hugs the road better an maybe tweak the supercharger. This tour is gonna be the sh*t!!!! ♪♪♪ On the road again, show as ya bown ♪♪♪

    As seen on The View
    WOW!! Finally made time to watch the Bob and Phil show, (on The View of all places)! the strangest of places. Was it just me or did the boys seem a little nervous? They're just not used to daytime TV! HA! HA! Overall though outstanding performance, I loved the acoustic version of FOTD. The View girls didn't quite do their research though, how dare Joy Behar get Jerry's exit date wrong!!!! Always knew she was a few shy of a sixpack!!! Nice of the boys to make a public appearance though, what a treat for the non deadheads to get a taste of pure peace, love and music!!! Maybe they will come back for more!!! For the rest of us it was just an appetizer for the main course, I will get my slice at Roseland 5/5 and I can't wait!!! See you all there!!!! Peace!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home... I Miss Jerry

    After what I saw at those three shows last night, missing this tour is at your own peril. They were on, and they were hot! Go to as many shows as you can realistically put together, but make sure you get to at least one. Turn on your light, you won't regret it! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

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.

Will there be a parking lot scene for the show this Sunday? Or are we stuck with a parking structure? It is supposed to be a beautiful day.

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.

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. Like I told you, like I say,,Steal Your Face right off your head. See ya soon, my genuine family. Kottonmouthjeff

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 can remember back in 98, I never had any trouble with "enhancing" my shows on further tour. I'm beginning to think that the LUV has left the lot.... I hope I run into this guy in Philly!!! I know exactly what this asshole looks like, chances of that are slim to none tho.Peace- Moye

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 feel what ur saying man, im not a violent person by any meens, but yeah man, your right, it does make it hard to trust anybody on this tour. 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!!
