    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject
    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject says "Roseland Confirmation". Body of email is sparse. Venue instructions, time and location of show, and my name in bold print. Has a link at the bottom for Dead.net complete contest rules.BTW, I sent GDTSTOO a rather direct email about an hour ago telling them what I thought about the whole shebang.

    Confusion about "Guest" - Help Dead.net, need some clarity (^_^)
    I am a winner for Roseland and I did not see any place on my entry form to enter in the name of a guest. My winning email clearly states that "I have been selected to receive (2) tickets" but I do then also see on the email that it says, "The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." And, my winning email has my name as BOTH the Winner and the Guest! Myself (Winner) and my guest are driving from very far tomorrow for the show, so we hope to get some clarity on this here in the next 12 hours before we hit the road! Boy this is confusing!!! I am praying that this is like how they did it when Phish played at the Filmore and you simply need to show up at the door with your guest (whoever it is) and if your name is on the list (as the winner) for 2 tickets it gets you both in. If someone from Dead.net gets this with any affirmation or clarity on this you can email me a response directly at antonio@dailypassion.com See you on the dance floor! (^_^)

    Further evidence that the latter part of the email related to the sweepstake entry on Friday from 6-9 is because this is what the entry form asked for, which is in the fine print of your email: Entrant's First Name Entrant's Last Name Entrant's Email address First Name of Entrant's Guest Last Name of Entrant's Guest

    This is the email I got. The top portion clearly does not sound like a sweepstakes entry. I took it that I had won. I figured the bottom portion of the email related to the initial entry into the sweepstakes from 6-9pm on Friday. When I get an email stating "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event", I take it to mean "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event".

    O.K. Here is the original e-mail I received from GDTS
    In the subject line: The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected Hello, You have been selected for the GDTS TOO allotment of tickets for The Dead's performance at the Roseland Ballroom on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:00 PM. The intention of this small venue show is to provide an opportunity for fans to see The Dead in an intimate setting for free. Here's the deal.... You must respond to this email by Saturday, March 28 at high noon! Do not phone or email with any questions or you will be disqualified! This offer is non transferable, it is for you only! You and your guest must have a photo ID for entrance into the show. 2 tickets per person limit No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event.

Once confirmed you will be allowed entrance into the concert. To avoid long lines; you are strongly encouraged to arrive early. You must enter the venue upon arrival and there are no in/out privileges. Please return this email with an "accept" or "decline" in the subject box. Again, this email must be returned by Saturday at High Noon. I responded "accept" and that was the last I heard from them.

So last night's May 2nd show at The Spectrum was my first show ever. My girlfriend and I went down Friday night to hang in Shakedown, and Saturday night for Shakedown and the show. The show was absolutely amazing, and I'm extremely glad I got to see them play their very last show at The Spectrum. I would have to say the only real downside was the chocolates we got off Snodgrass were way weak, and it kinda of brought my night down a bit. But no worries, I still enjoyed seeing them tear the Spectrum down regardless...I just hope they tour again sometime and I get a chance to REALLY experience the show. The Philly cops were a major downer post-show, shutting down Shakedown even earlier on Night 2 than on Night 1....From everything I heard it was because of some dumbass (not even there FOR THE DEAD) hit some security dude over the head over a nitrous tank....and in my opinion, the nitrous guys were the bane of Shakedown...the people with those tanks weren't there for The Dead they were just there making money off people and attracting negative attention from security and the cops...but other than that, Shakedown Street was extremely cool. My girlfriend and I will definitely be setting up our own little shop next time The Dead come into town :)

I just had a funny thought.... The Dead are not allowed to play at Hampton, so they sneak in on an April Fools Day as the Grateful Dead!!!

Man, I can't begin to explain the positive and loving vibes in the lot as well as the show:) It reminded me of one of the last shows I caught in 1994 at Buckeye Lake. The boys are playing quite well together and the energy is amazing!!! Seeing how I embarked on a spiritual adventure the night before, I toned it down and sisnt eat so much "enhancers" the 2nd night:) Both set lists the 2nd night was spectacular. I got to hear my MORNING DEW for the first time on this tour:) And I think 90% of the crowd new that SAMSON & DELILAH was gonna be the encore, and it was an excellent encore:) Thank you all!!! Dead.net friends, Thank you all (GIgi, Snodgrass, Techgurl,Rooster, Chuck...and all the rest) Thank you guys!!! You are my true FAMILY and I can't wait to see you all again at another show!!!:)Peace- Moye

Hey all. I've gotta miss this spring tour (though the boys are playing tonite right by my house). I took a gamble and decided not to see the indoor shows this spring. Haven't been to a show since Jerry's last one in 95. Anyone hear of any summer dates? I'm tempted to check out Rothbury in July but I was REALLY hoping for a summer outdoor show at Alpine Valley. I'm LOVING the setlists and the sound of the band this spring! This 'ol deadhead is on pins and needles!

I dont think there will be any Summer Tour dates as The Dead..Due to the RD summer tour and the AB summer tour..Unless they can Clone Jeff,Bobby and Warren and they can be 2 places at once! Hey,There's an idea(LOL) But judging from the amount of fun and how AWESOME this band sounds,I wouldn't rule out a fall tour and beyond..I think they're gonna ride it till the wheels fall off....And they should!!! :-) On a side note...I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a poster I seen many years ago that has License plates on it from all 50 states,All with some kind of Dead related vanity on it, ie: DRK-STR and at the top it just says "WE ARE EVERYWHERE" Please PM me if anyone has seen this or knows how to get it...Thank-You,My brothers and My sisters...peace, G :-)

Thanks, Twinz. I'm a little bummed, I haven't been to a show in like 14 years and I wanted the next one I see to be summertime.....chill parking lot scene.....lawn seats......you know, the *perfect* scene! Then I saw the boys are playing the Allstate Arena by me.....UGH! That place is a barn with horrible acoustics overall pretty opressive....exactly what I DIDN'T want my return-show to be! So I skipped out on this one cuz it seemed like they were gearing up for a summer tour. I'm hoping i'll be able to catch em at Rothbury in July. Perhaps I'll catch the fall tour, even IF it's indoors :-\",0"

It's been a week since my last show of four I was able to catch on this tour and I have to say that getting out to see the boys play again was beyond my expectations. From the crazy setlists and getting to hear songs I never thought I'd get to hear live to the great vibe on Shakedown to the friendly folks I met along the way, the whole experience was amazingly good and positive. I was close to dropping another 95 bucks a ticket to get obstructed view tix for the Philly shows but didn't. After seeing the setlists I wish I had but I have faith they'll be back out there again before too long. I'll catch Bobby at the Vibes in July and then hope for a fall tour! I know there have been naysayers who were disappointed with flubbed lyrics, slow tempos, Warren etc, but I have to say that the minor flaws were far outshined by the incredible music. Warren is hitting his stride and is able to sing the jerry tunes and do them justice. he's got kind of a Jerry/Pigpen/Brent sound to his voice and IMO he fits right in. Jeff is a monster on the keys and his addition to Drumz just brought it that much further out there for me. Last but not least Bobby, Phil, Mickey and Billy are still right in there and are pushing the music to a new place, all shining in theor own rights. Cheers to the (Grateful) Dead for taking it back on the road and here's to a hopefully long run! I, for one, will be there until they decide to hang it up for good.

Sorry dude, needless to say you are out of luck on the hair follicle test, unless you shave your head and they have nothing to test. There is no getting around that no matter what you hear. NO you cannot bleach it out, strip it, or any other remedies you may run across on the www. only way to pass is not to do anything to make you fail! i know, it sucks.

was kind of surprized that the Brendyn Byrne Meadowlands (Izod for you youngins) shows were no where near sold out... or was there some other reason for the black curtain covering the top back tier facing the stage?? we got miracled (from an old friend) with seats in the 3rd row right in front of Branford for the Tuesday show, that was fucking awesome. caught 8 shows. all in all, a grate tour!! I was actually rather proud of myself that i did NOT, like in the old daze, try to get to every show humanly possible (once we got that green light from the calvary) like, we did NOT drive all the way up to Albany... if you are anywhere near the rest of the shows, I got one word: GO!! now, we done.

Your lucky man, I heard those shows, man, there killer. It wasn't sold out you say? Hmmm....Thats odd... Out of all 3 shows on this tour i caught (not including the Penn show) i'd have to say the first night at the Spectrum was the most magical:) The second night had better set lists tho..You Know tho, I thoght they would of encored with Samson & Delilah into> Brokendown Palace... You know, "id tear this old building down, Now lets leave this brokendown palace" Either way, what ever the dead play, ITS ALWAYS GRATE!!! The dead could play Mary had a little lamb and id start dancin my ass off!!!! :)Peace- Moye

5/5 Cinco De Mayo..........My first ever Dead show. Arrive at the lot around 5:00. We walked around, bought some beverages, ate some goodies, bought some handmade jewlery, always fun!!! Around show time we decided it was time to go to our seats. So feelin real good by then we get in the security line, and just when we thought we were in the clear, a BitchPig grabs my purse and starts rummaging, found my concealed bottle of Jack and confiscated it!! Brand New bottle!!! I was pissed but not as pissed as when we got inside and I paid $7.50 for a Mia-Tia!!! Beareaucratic Buzzkill!!!!! Then it was showtime and the boys started playin and the magic started happenin. My neighbors were nice enough to share some love (if youknow what I mean) and then I was groovin. Later in the show my son also shared a little love with me too. How cool!!! I almost cried during Unbroken Chain and then I lost my mind when they played Hell in a Bucket, one of my top ten favorite Dead songs!!!!!!!! I left the show that night feelin like a kid who just got everthing they wanted for Christmas!!!!! 5/5 Chicago was a show beyond description and it will live in my memory forever!!!!!!!!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home... I Miss Jerry

not sure if there was some other reason for the big black curtain over those upper sections at Byrne, but certainly those shows were'nt sold out. it would be interesting to know which shows actually 'sold out' and did not have any tickets at the box office on the day of the shows... yeah, a Brokedown Palace after that Sampson in Philly would have been sweet... ( -; dilema with the Dead these daze is once Phil makes his donor rap, you know there will only be one more tune... especially after they take their bows. would have been nice if after that on a few shows they picked up the guitars once more... the only really COOL surprise I saw was the opening of the second set with the drumz because the first set had been so long, forgot which show that was. during the 10-12 shows I saw during the 2004 tour, they played LATE numerous nights... and that was after Hunter or Warren had opened! so those were pretty cool, I though. I especially dug seeing Hunter opening! I am looking forward to trying to get to some Rat Dog shows this summer, Jackie Greene is opening!!!!!!!!! personally, I'd also love to see a combo Phil & Friends / Ratdog tour one of these daze, less hype, no hassles with crappy technology pre-sales, less asshole scalpers... that don't mean to say I think anything wrong is with the Dead, had lots of fun there, too. good vibes, good music, no major hassles, cool folks!

All I can say is acoustic Deep Elem Blues!! Folks this show in Denver was so damn good I don't give a crap about the negative reviews about the tour so far, thank you for your opinion, but I have to disagree with any negativity ... tonight was absolutely amazing ... the energy ... the love ... the music ohhh the music!! Tonight I became a huge Warren fan, he is just nailing it!! China Doll ... seriously just let Warren sing some more !!... Cumberland ... so freaking good!! Billy .. Mickey ... thunderous!! Jeff grooving as good as any keyboarder ... Ok its late got to go! Peace and love and see you in shoreline and the gorge!! "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"

So, we know thar Ratdog is doing a summer tour.... And i'm sure that Phil has stuff going on as well...But, wouldn't it be kewl if Phills band and Bobbys band joined forces and opened up for The Dead:) The start of a summer tour!!! Maybe throw Robert Hunter in there to sing for Phil & friends and Ratdogs bands:) 1 HUGE JAMFEST!!!! Well, there probably just pipe dreams of mine, but Damn, can you just imagine!!!!

hmmm, given the fact thatJackie is opening a fair amount of shows for Ratdog, I wonder if phil will take the summer off and then tour in the fall? check out these CONFIRMED dates: http://ratdog.org/tour/ phil's site and his tour link only re-directs back to dead . net and the Dead tour dates... meanwhile, moye, I have lived my life chasing my own (cough cough) pipe dreams, and here's hoping yours will come true! ( -; meanwhile, here is a taste of what happens if Phil and Friends and Ratdog jam together in one big super band! 12/31/08 NYE show at Bill Graham Civic Center in SF, and yup, we was THERE!! fucking grate shows! a couple of different views of the same stuff: and the final bow which was about 2:30 am... that show lasted from around 6:30pm, Jackie opening, etc etc etc, until the wee hours... not to mention the after parties outside after.

Hey now, awesome, great show! Spent the day in the lot meeting up with old and new friends. All was well, good energy. The show rocked! I left with a smile on my face and a warm heart! However, as soon as we left the Pepsi Center we were greeted with hostility from security. We quickly got back to our car and decided to pack it up and move on when a fight broke out between two deadheads. We did not get a chance to say goodbye to friends. Does anyone know how the scene transpired? Did everyone get on the road safely? To all, "may the four winds blow you safely home". Peace

both 12/30/08 and 12/31/08 were two of the best non-Grateful but dead related shows we ever been to. general admission to boot! was a bit rough on the system, though. seriously squeejeed by jet-lag getting to San Francisco and then the all night partying and way too little sleep both daze and nights. napping in the panhandle doesn't quite provide enough rest to my tired bones. only stimulant used was adreniline, green tea, and coffee. borrowed a hog from an old tour buddy who still lives in The Haight... let me just say, racing up and down the streets of San Francisco on a scoot at 5am is rareley a good idea. ) -; shucks, just ain't as young as I used to be. sigh.

Glad to hear you had a great show - we're doing the second half of the tour through you vicariously, you know! So you must keep reporting back:)We're listening to it on Internet Archives right now - actually in our garden, which isn't a bad place to be either. Are you going to all the W coast shows too? Going to order RatDog tickets for Hampton, that's the best cure I can think of for the post-Dead blues!
