    Thanks
    I just left the following on the “Shout Outs” page"Yo Godspal! You ever even been to a show with Jerry? Yea it was bigger and better..... after 25 years! Who cares about bigger and better, and the definition of cover band is a band that covers other peoples songs just the way they were done by the original. If you think that the Dead are a cover band then so is Van Halen (running with the devil and most of the songs on their 1st album are old 30s blues songs) and the Rolling Stones and Clapton and Led Zeppelin, and many other bands that take songs that they like or admire and redo them. So the Dead would have to be a tribute band.... but the core members are all in the band so it's a tribute to themselves! Like most people that claim to be Christians you sure are quick to judge. I see 2 to 3 hundred bands a year working. From the 29th of April to the 12th of May I worked Neil Young, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Chesney and Billy Joel/Elton John. I took the time in all that to drive 7 hours to Chicago for the show on the 4th and to fly to Mountainview for the show on the 10th. The rest of the month will include Andre Rieu, Yani and Sugarland. Next month is a bunch of other national acts. I CHOOSE TO SEE THE DEAD BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. i'LL TAKE TIME OUT OF MY LIFE ANYTIME THEY PLAY TO SEE THEM." I left it in response to someone calling this band a cover band. Sooo maybe I'm a little rabid but I am one loyal Motherf#%*er and I won't apologize for my response. I will say thank you to the band for lighting that space in my heart that has been dark for so long. Thanks for validating my conception of what the Dead means to me with my wife and my grown kids that have lived on the peripheral of my relationship with this huge part of my soul but now have experienced it. After Chicago my wife said “I Get It” she felt the magic. Same in Mountainview with my boys, 25 and 22 that have lived with this all their lives, listen to the music and now know the feeling. I meant what I said, this band, not the Grateful Dead, but the Dead is the best band in the world. If the Grateful Dead could be here then that might not be the case but that will never happen. It’s funny that the Grateful Dead went through what a handful of keyboard changes and there wasn’t a question of who they were. I hope that when other band members pass (you know… the wheel thing) that the band still plays the songs that I so want to hear and new ones that will reflect the band at that time with the same magic as in 69, 79, 89 or 09. I also hope when I’m gone that my children and my children’s children have the same opportunity to feel the magic.

    The end of Spring tour...
    Well, I feel a want for more, but know I am fortunate for the shows I was able to see (8 including Penn State). Then again, I need time to save up some money, as it sure wasn't cheap or without sacrifice (well worth it though, just saying...).The last show at the Gorge was fantastic for so many reasons. It turned out to be a 80 degree day, met some awesome Washington State folks, was center stage 7 rows back, and it was our 3rd wedding anniversary! Was a grate trip, we flew in to Seattle and picked up a rental vehicle in the pouring rain. Drove to Moses Lake to be closer to the venue so we wouldn't have to drive so far when they opened, and ended up driving through quite a snowstorm through the cascade mountains. It was surprising to see, as it was snowing so hard that it was accumulating on the roadway and we certainly didn't expect it. Fortunately, we drove out of that, and the weather improved. And as I mentioned, the day of the show was 80 and sunny! Back home on the east coast now and reading others viewpoints of the shows here. Love hearing about them. My take on the shows are that they definitely got better as the tour went on. Of particular note, I got to see the progression of Warren as he took more of a stage presence as the tour went on. The gorge show was definitely a rock star Warren night IMO. He was on fire, first with the Allman's, and seemed to pick up steam with the Dead. My appreciation for him has definitely grown, and I now count myself as a huge Warren fan. LOVED his version of Althea that night, do I dare say even more then bobby's from earlier in the tour!? Anyway, thought I'd share just a bit now that the ride is over (for now). I am anxiously waiting for Rothbury, and at the same time glad that I have a little time to save up for it! Will probably end up having to skip a couple other shows I had planned on attending (DSO), but I do love those outdoor Dead shows! And as far as the Gorge goes, what a FANTASTIC venue! Would love to do that again if the opportunity arises. Now I feel the need to check out Red Rocks, as I have heard that setting is just as nice, but due to the distance, it would take The Dead to play there to really motivate me, thus the reason I am going to Rothbury. It was so nice to be part of the scene again, to be around so many newer, young folks intermingled with us older, still very much young at heart ones. Never would have thought that there would be another opportunity for a tour, never mind just a nostalgic show, but now I am thinking, how could they not do this again. I mean, it truly was a win-win. The band and all that are employed to stage the tour certainly made some money, but even more importantly, they all seemed to be having a most excellent time up there, and those of us that were fortunate enough to catch a show, know everyone else was digging it. So boys, if any of you actually find time to read any of these postings, lets do more together, as I for one will agree to do my part, which is attend show(s) that are feasible and be a part of the lovely deadhead community to welcome the next generation in with open arms. Speaking of this, at the Gorge show there was a 18 year old high schooler that convinced his dad to bring him, and that kid really got it! It was fun watching him react to the band and crowd. This is how it will never die. Musicians, sure, but the music will be passed on. Please bring on another tour! See ya at Rothbury!

    Thanks Peggy O
    I totally agree with you. This is not the Grateful Dead it is The Dead. 2 pretty different bands really. Both grate in there own special ways (I know that sounds a little cheesy but hey it is true). It is impossible to replace Jerry and his unique guitar, vocals, perspective and soul are missed believe me. But if you went in to this tour with an open mind I just don't see how you could have been disappointed. I was not a Warren fan going in but coming out I am a huge fan. He made this tour folks just admit it. He brought his own style to the mix, he wasn't trying to be Jerry he wasn't trying to sound like him and he wasn't just sitting in filling space. There were times when he sounded hauntingly similar to Jerry (China Doll, Morning Dew for example), times when he sounded very soulful like Brent and times when he has just being Warren. He really moved me and not unlike what Jerry used to do for me. That is where I will disagree with Peggy-O, I was almost in tears several times. The same could be said for Jeff too. He brought his own style and it fit in beautifully. I love Ratdog and Phil and Friends and all but there is something special and kind of hard to explain when they are all together, then throw in Billy and Mickey and the raw power is back!! What also returned was the lot scene. Walking through the lots at Shoreline and Washington seriously made me feel like 20 years old again. I felt like I was back where I belong, and that is a very special feeling I will hold onto forever. They played this tour with emotion and power and they were as tight as I have ever heard them.. EVER. There were shows in the 90's with Jerry that didn't have a fraction of the power, emotion, magic or energy these guys are holding right now. Some of those shows felt like they were just going through the motions. NOT in 2009!! They hit this tour with a sense of "We are still the kings of the jam bands, and now we are going to show you". Sure some shows were better than others that is how it always was, is and will be. That's why I always suggest to catch as many Dead shows as possible because that one magical show that touches your soul and changes your life is out there. Although I haven't heard any of the shows from this tour that I would consider to be "bad". All I can say is "When can we do this again??" Seriously!! "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

Looking forward to seeing how adding Branford in the mix ends up sounding.Wished they would have had more guests for more of the shows. Maybe some surprises still to come, as they are only at mid-point of their tour? One can hope!!!

Was awesome, they didn't stream the show live, but they played the first set...which sounded like it was tearin the roof off NJ! Last night's first set rocked, was simply amazing....ENDING it in Lovelight....and this one had the energy of a freight train! It was pretty funny that in my home in Chicago, only 5 dayz! I was sitting here on my computer chair dancing, singing, twirling was chattin with other heads, and dancing and singing...Oh the computer age of Deadness. Everyone on that chatroom was amazing buzzed from the show. Wow, I thought, could this be the first time you've seen the boyz since 2004? WHOA, It's some pretty crazy stuff to think How awesome this tour is and I can't wait for May 4,5!

Tribute to the founding of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609. At least that is the only logical explanation I have heard. AMAZING night at the Garden. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

You can fit in 7 more shows after the spectrum can't ya? :-) I'm telling you I wish I would have just took off 2 full weeks and hit Chicago too...

Monkey, depends on how far your willin to drive. Big Basin Redwoods SP is the shit but quite a ways south towards santa cruz near boulder creek. Portola redwwods SP is a little closer but still a ways south. It's somewhat near skyline blvd (ca 35). I've camped out there while seeing a couple ratdog shows in san jose last summer. It's a bit of a drive, especially fryin but worth it. Theres a place called anthony chabot regional park in castro valley on the east bay. I haven't been there but it's much closer to mountain view than the redwoods and I might also try camping there after the show. I highly reccomend Big Basin though if you don't mind driving. It's one of my favorite places anywhere.

I haven't heard about a June show with Dylan, Willie, Mellencamp, etc. but it's plausible. Dylan, Willie, the Dead and dozens of other bands are convening in MI the first week of July for the Rothbury festival, so some/all of those guys will be "in the area" 'bout that time. Try checking their websites. Since I'm catching only the two Spectrum shows on the spring tour, I broke down recently and picked up tickets for Rothbury (rothburyfestival.com). The boys headline Sat night 7/4 (anyone willing to take odds on a US Blues encore?) and Dylan's the main act on the final night, Sun 7/5. Gotta see the boys one more time!

Now that I've actually attended a couple more shows, instead of just listening to them, thought I might make some observations. They definitely seem to be improving a bit with each show, and with the high baseline they set at the taxi tour shows this has made for a quite pleasurable experience. It is important to remember that this is The Dead, not the GOGD, and it is an evolution in perspective, practice and content. I also saw the 02, 03 and 04 incarnations and where they are now is better than any of those were. I have seen several others comment on one aspect that I find I must agree with, and that is that Warren just isn't loud enough often enough. Jerry would regularly play extremely loud, and that dimension (the loudness, not the particular notes or progressions) is just not present consistently. It's the thing that's holding back those crescendo points from ever really peaking the way they used to. Hopefully they'll figure that out, because most of what Warren is playing is quite good and fits well. Only the occasional spot of "there's that Allman Brothers thing again." Interestingly enough, they did have the good sense to mix Branford hot at times when he was really channeling Jerry. Listen to the Crazy Fingers from 4/29 for a good example. And throwing a meatball like Milestones straight into his wheelhouse, no surprise he hit that out of the park. I'm really glad I got to see the Branford shows because he really did fit in quite well, and was obviously having a great time being there. At points where he wasn't playing he was bopping and dancing right along. The onstage rapport and communication between all the band members seems really high and is certainly fun to watch. They are all quite clearly having a great time with it. Likewise Jeff is fitting right in as well, really kicking it up a notch where appropriate, otherwise providing a great deal of cohesion. Never obtrusive,always tasteful, and obviously an essential ingredient in the mix. It is good that Bob's guitar is more prominent because he is playing quite well despite the occasional equipment issue. He really is a much better guitar player than some people seem to think. I'll chalk up the "updated" vocal timings to "improvisation." Who ever said voice isn't an instrument anyway? And a show just isn't a show without a booted lyric somewhere, right? Phil just seems to never stop smiling, enough so that if you didn't know better you might be tempted to wonder if there wasn't some other reason why. But I'm pretty sure the reason is because he's just having a ball, and he's certainly playing like there's nothing else he'd rather do ever. I'm also happy to see and hear him singing more. I really don't get why some people have an issue with this. Is he Mel Torme, SInatra, Robert Plant? Hell no, he's Phil Lesh, and they're his songs. If he wants to sing them who the hell is anyone else to say no? How many times in the 70's did my friends and I stand in front of him yelling Unbroken Chain? Every show? Don't have to do that any more. Mickey and Billy are really, really on as others have noted. Both nights during Drums there were points where my chest was actually vibrating and my pant legs were flapping. Now if they would only learn to mix Warren that hot where appropriate... All in all, I am happy to have been able to be present where great music was being created, rather than merely replicated, and I'm really looking forward to Friday night. Any one else interested in that opportunity should get themselves to one of these shows. The only possible bad time is one that you might bring along, so do yourself a favor and don't bring one. Go expecting something new yet very familiar, and you will be rewarded. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Get to rest up before the next 2 daze! Need it after the Izod shows. Very little sleep in the last couple days, have great memories, and am anxiously awaiting the next 2 shows!Shakedown continues to be risky with those peddling hippie drugs,in that there seems to be more then usual that will sell you something that is not as it is claimed to be. Be careful about the scams, they are skilled in getting you to part with your money. Otherwise, if you can catch a show or more, GO...and have a blast in whatever manner tickles your fancy! Grate to have them back on the road playing together again!!!

Dude, I must have done something really nice in my life time....the karma has come my way for Chicago's Cinco De Mayo celebration! 5/4 is gonna rock no doubt, getting to see all you crazy family members again and shakin my bones. I lucked out big time....just talked to my Buddy last night....he said, "Oh yeah, you remember me talking about luxury box seats for the Dead? I said, "Does a bear sh*t in the woods?" "Well my dad's company doesn't want them and he knew how much you love The Dead, you want to go on 5/5?" I think I almost fell down, but I mustered up enough strength to say, "Hell Yeah!" Needless to say, tis going to rock. And I can't wait to miracle two lucky heads and watch them smile from ear to ear!

i wanted to see some east coast shows but needed work, but i am going to the last 5 showsdenver, L A, 2 shorline, and the gorge in george, WA. i've seen orig dead, further dead, the other ones dead, the tribute dead in berkley, w/ trey, bruce, and merl, the new dead, ratdog, phil & friends, planet drum, and its truly the greatest story ever told, passenger, only one in ten thousand come for the show. the music is a living thing evolving, the shows become live art, the important thing to remember is why you came to the show, to just watch, or be a part of the art. the indoor shows have more reverb, but outdoor at shoreline, and the gorge, make it unreal with the colors of the sunset. i hope some of you easties get out for these shows the gorge camping is spendie but the shakedown is the best i've seen in years, 2004 was the 4th of july and was a sight. see ya on the road or at the show no-one noticed that the band was all packed and gone were they ever here at all, and they kept on dancing...... the music never stopped

I sure hope The Dead continues to play in the future. I was unable to go to any of the concerts during this tour. If they plan another tour in the future, does anyone have the dates? Hopefully they can swing down to Missouri next tour. God Bless the Dead!
