Dang it just hit me - 45 years ... unbelievable isn't it??

well...
you know darn well they are not going to make their touring decisions based on my desire for a new topic. However, in the interim, for your entreaties, suggestions, speculations, etc., please feel free to continue the discussion in the brand new 45 Years So Far... topic!
maybe this thread is now a prophecy

I sure did spend a lot of time following that band around. Hunter was only with them for about a year, '84-'85, but it was pretty great.

45 YEARS!!?? HOLY SHIT!
Thats a total mind trip! Great Idea: They should make some collectible 45's(vinyl) for the anniversary.....Get it? 45's?....45 years?....do ya get it? huh?.....never mind,go back to sleep,we're almost there.
Hot Tuner?????
I know alot of heads are into Hot Tuna...But I dont know ANYTHING about them, But they're playing right up the street from me for like 25 bucks in July....Are they worth checkin out? Is it Deadish type jam stuff or what?
yes and yes
to answer your 2 questions:
yes and yes.
it is a Tunafish kind of jam thing...
this audio is 7/24/07
Hot tuna
I agree. They are definitely worth checking out. Especially for $25...
"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"
Hot Tuna
Don't miss them. Jamming some, yes. But much of it will be awesome acoustic or electric blues. Hot Tuna is sometimes electric, sometimes acoustic and sometimes both in the same show.
Water Song one of my favorites, have never tired of it. Jorma and Jack have been playing together now for over 50 years, since they were teenagers in the D.C. area in the 50's. IMHO the connection they have between themselves in guitar bass interaction is only matched by The Grateful Dead, the original ABB and current ABB.
If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

DEFINATELY GO DUDE!!!!! Hot Tuna and Rusted root opened for the other ones on the further festival in 98....hey JAM man:):):) You gotta check it out.Peace-

Hot Tuna was the Airplane's engine. Fly Jefferson Airplane and get there.
Ah, the Airplane...
my other favourite psychedelic rock combo. Not a disappointment on those early albums. Hyper-space troopers. My fav clip is Saturday Afternoon at Woodstock - really captures the moment and never ceases to be powerful.
"It's a time for growing,
And a time for knowing love…"
Moye: So true, Hot Tuna were super on that '98 Further Fest. Saw them in Toronto on Arlo's Birthday. Definitely a great band, not to be missed.
The airplane arriving into Portland left me deaf in left ear.
I live in Buffalo NY. Went to the Gorge. Cried after the show. Still asking myself what just happened! They sounded great! I saw people from 18 years ago in wheal chairs. I'm still processing the whole thing.
Lets hope for another tour!!!!!!!!!
DSO
Goin to DSO sat night in Hampton Beach...Live Dead(sort of) for 25 bucks! I'll take it!!!! They still have Healy running sound? Anyone going? Beautiful week-end weather....2 shows(fri-sat)....Cold beer and Dancin' to Dead Tunes!!! Who dont like that?? GarciaThere!!!!!!
TWINZ.....

Moye
DSO Hampton Beach!
Going to the Fri show, can't do the Sat one this time.So I figure I gotta party & dance extra on Fri to make up the differdance!
Hope it's HIGH ENERGY, cause I'm already stoked and I still got 3 daze to go!
This will suffice just fine though, and then ROTHBURY BABY....Now for that I am all giddy with anticipation!
Fri DSO show is gonna help prime the pump, not that I think I can handle much more priming!
GratefulTwinz, enjoy Saturday's show!
tuna
most DEFINITELY worth $25......caught them in seattle (yech) a few years ago in a joint called the firehouse or the engine house or sumpin' like that.the music was awesome but the venue was'nt. they charged us $25 for a one topping medium pizza. it was an ok pie but certainly not worth 25 bones.....so we ...uh......"liberated" the pan. i still have it and baked biscuits on it not 2 days ago.
Noonie,Leshweir,Phatsy.....
Noon-Actually I did catch them at LMA just not last time but the time before and they did an "original" set and it was just "ok" and then they played again a year later(and I couldnt go!) and it was one of "Those" shows....I liked every song on the list (mostly ROCKERS) (including Cassidy!) and the reviews said it was Kick-Ass!!! oh well....Anyway,Were not going this time either....Turns out Amy has to work and we figured RatDog is only a month away at the same place and we've already got those ticks!!! Anyhoo..Happy Anniversary to you and wifey!!! LeshWeir,Have a great time friday bro...Hope they jam good for ya!! Phats..Im gonna send you a PM....Later ya'll!
Happy Anniversary, Noonie!
Have a good time in Hampton tomorrow night! Tempting, we've never seen DSO. Maybe next year. . . You'll have to report back!Will you be going to Ratdog in July?

NYE
Philzone counter just posted 179 days to next Phil with the Dead. New Years Eve!!!!!! Yahooooo!!!!!! Doesnt say where yet but my moneys on Oakland.Still hoping for a free gig in the park to close out the tour though. They gave New York a freebie to kick it off. How about it guys???
still going?
Just wondered if that post about new years means they will continue with the touring?? I missed Rothbury and am sick about it--I need to go to another--I cant swallow that was the Dead's last date! Any word out there on further dates?
Everybody's dancin'......
one hell of a summer so farrrr........
Hey everybody:) Just want to say that this year has been one of the best years of my life... meeting new friends and hangin with old friends:) Would love to see the dead do something in the fall... Lets keep our fingers crossed X...Peace-
Moye
right on Moye
2 weeks from today till Ratdog! Keepin em crossed for the fall. peace
New Year's lineup?
How about Mickey's Planet Drum, followed by Billy's BK3, followed by Phil Lesh &Friends, followed by Bob Weir and Ratdog, followed by The Dead?
And everybody's dancin!
Whats next for the dead?
Well now that it's pretty clear we're not getting a Fall Tour has anybody heard anything for the future? It worries me everyday to think something could happen that would prevent me from seeing The Dead ever again. Since 2003 I gave seen every single show possible and am just happy to see anything new come up on the 'Tour' page. Unfortunately I was only 10 years old in '95 and had nobody to introduce me. But anyway hoping for a 2010 Tour or possibly a New Years Show or something west coast in the winter. If anybody has heard anything respectable let me know!! Bobby and Mickey wrote this year that if they keep it up a NEW Album in inevitable!
HeyNow Everybody!!!
Been a loooong time since ive "talked" to you fine folks(sorry)...Ive been messing around on Facebook alot-Hooking up with all my old NH deadhead friends....Matter of fact,One of my closest show buddies is coming to Lowell in November to go to DonnaJean/DSO show with me!

(ATTN:St.Steven Mtvch)Summer Grateful....Some are Dead!
I predict an out-door venue Summer Tour....The Spring Tour was so successful...Id bet anything they'll hit the road again this summer...Think about it...They dont wanna come East and freeze they're asses off(Remember-They're no spring chickens..LOL) THE DEAD TO TOUR SUMMER 2010......you'll see! keep yer fingers X,d!!!!!!
