Grateful Dead

"Dear lord, won't you buy me a ticket to the dead,, My friends are going on tour, I must meet up with them, Worked hard all my lifetime, a little help from some heads, So lord won't you buy me a ticket to the dead." PEACE

You think the band ever reads this post?CAN'T WAIT TO SHAKE MY BONES AT THE SPECTRUM

HeyNow Janis, thanks again for this song, maybe you can tyhrow in a few DEAD tickets to Uncle BUDD!!! "Mercedes Benz" Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ? Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me. I wait for delivery each day until three, So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ? Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down. Prove that you love me and buy the next round, Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? Everybody! Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends, Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? That’s it!

Download this show on Grateful Dead Archives / its at Dupont Gym-MIT/ theres songs like I Dont Know You, Six Days On The Road and others ive never heard of. Its got a countryish sound to it and not the best recording, but not the worst. CAN'T WAIT TO SHAKE MY BONES AT THE SPECTRUM!

chicago bob I want the DEAD by themselves, but my vote went to Bush for president, that is SLAMMIN' SAMMY BUSH so if no one else voted for SAM BUSH BAND, DAVE GRISSMAN QIUNTET, or DONNA JEAN & the TWISTERS I want them all there!!! Anybody see DJG @ Lucas School House in STL - simply marvelous!! AGREED?!!!!

They have darkstar-china cat-the eleven on the 1st box set of the grateful dead. Its very rare 2 find that combanation though. For that matter its hard to find the eleven on alot of shows. Oh, and Bonehead Tom, I think your right, I dont think Ive ever heard Estimated Profit as an opener for any show. Estimated Profit into Eyes Of The World would be interesting too.

That would be a first I think. Never happened with the GD. Almost always set 2 stuff, and usually either the launching pad or countdown into space. Oh, and Chinat Cat>Eleven might be a rough transition, unless they drop Eleven in during the key change in China Cat which would work pretty much seamlessly, and offers the same graceful return for the third verse. Actually, that's a really cool idea. Think I'll try that out! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

That would be perfect. Ratdog did an Estimated Profit in Ft. Myers, Fl in the second set that blew me away.

I bet they start off with Estimated Profit at the last show in California. You can almost put that 1 in the books.

Haven't been there yet, so I don't know.
