    I'll be in my usual places on this site, but not here no more. too many bad vibes and too much negativity in this thread. those who know me, know where I'm talking about. feels like 1987-88... in here. actually feels like 1982 when all of the junkie skells started hitting all of the parking lots looking to score and lots of freaks who did not give a shit about the mu\sic-- oh, when I was just a youngin'... those were the daze... stop the attacks and criticisms of other, please. see you kind folks on the other side of the rabbit hole. HalR, I love you brother; got more breath, still?? pomo, you too, but some folks just can't see the light. couldn't even skim though some of this crap without feeling the negative vibes and getting a headache. love and peace.

    I live close to the Pepsi Center and have seen many shows there. The cool thing about the Pepsi Center is that the staff is really chill and they leave you alone. During the NYE Widespread Panic shows I saw many of the Event Staff dancing with the crowd. Pretty cool scene. I have always had a fun time there and with the Dead oh man is it going to be fun. I hope to see you all there! "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

    First Show (as an outsider???)
    I plan on going to the show on may 7th in Denver . I live in Oklahoma and this will be my first dead show to attend. I was looking for anyone else that might be going. As well what to expect I'am getting a lot of sh#$ from people here saying "I shouldn't go", "Dude your not a deadhead no one will give you the time of day", "Man u'll stick out like a sore thumb". truth is i dont really care i love this music and plan on having a chill time. i just find it hard to grasp that without the tye-dyes and sandals i wouldn't be welcome. is this true

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.

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.

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! But he band just kept on playing We forgot about the time "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

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!!
