    rosa rugosaWhat is it with us wives? I'm just glad my husband didn't give up on me - it took me a long time to get it, but now all I ever want to listen to is The Dead (or Ratdog, or JGB). Making up for lost time! Good luck getting tickets, Noonie!

    "Orders that we are unable to fill from MSG, Spectrum and Shoreline reserved will bewill be returned before we start the ticketing process." The longer the wait, the more likely the news will be good!

    Looks like MSG, Spectrum & Shoreline were the only shows to sell out completely. What percentage of those tickets went to scalpers is unknown. Seems like states that have strong laws against scalping (Ma. Ct. etc.) were on sale easily. Others got directed to resale sites. Tickets were available from alternate sources, but sailed under radar until those in the know had theirs (typical). Mail order sure looked like the way to go, many thanks go out to those still running that operation. As I suspected, every other venue still has tickets for sale at the sale price (plus the vig). There will be shows that never sell out entirely. That was predictable. All things considered, it is shaping up to be a very comfortable tour for the dedicated. Shakedown St. should be fully operational at most venues. Ten mile skid on a nine mile drive.

    Cannot find any info on status of mail order tix!
    I have searched this site and the GDSSTOO(or whatever it is) site and cannot find any info on status of mail order. A friend of mine sent me a bulletin(from where I don't know) about the status of mail order. I just wanted to double check with the source to see if it was true that we were getting all the tix we ordered! WOOT WOOT Can someone point me in that direction? I am getting a little let down on how hard it is to find out some info on shows lately. What is all the secrecy about? I signed up MONTHS ago and then again when the word came out about tour for the email alert. Well, I got ONE email the DAY before mail order went down and NO word about online ticketing. Had to find that out thru friends but its all good. Then on the day of mail order AND online tix sales, I get a message on email at 2:30 that tix are sale online. Several hours too late in my opinion! lol So is there any news on the status of mail order? Please someone help! lol Hope that everyone got the tix they wanted and don't support scalpers!

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!

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.

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.

I haven't seen Hot Tuna for 10 yrs or so, but I caught Jorma Kaukonen a couple of times last year doing his acoustic country blues thing. Very tasty, another old guy who doesn't appear to have lost a step.

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. William Blake

Gratefultwinz, You should definetly check out Hot Tuna. Different from the Dead but much the same in some ways. They are very blues oriented. Go see them and let us know what you think!

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.

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!

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!

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!
