    UnkleSam-Thanks for posting that because it brings up something Ive been thinking about lately-We know the Government is hurting right now and all the cities & towns need $$,bad- So dont be surprised if some of these cities that our happy little freak show is visiting dont have it in they're minds to make alot of easy money by busting and fining Deadheads. Im just urging everyone(especially the ones doing the whole tour) Be VERY careful this time- I strongly feel that evil minds are planning evil things. Dont mean to sound so dark- But to me it only makes sense that some people will take advantage of unsuspecting people just out to have a good time-Dont let them piss on our parade-Keep your stash real small, Dont deal ♪♪♪ "The heat come round and busted me for smilin' on a cloudy day!"♪♪♪♪Peace

    I could use some advice please. I will be bringing 2 decorated banners on tour. Both banners are being designed by talented artists. I will be at every show with them(except the second shoreline) and already have plans to meet up with lots of people from this site to get them signed. I am trying to get as many signatures as possible! I will also be taking fun pics with them at scenic locations like haight/ashbury corner... times square and everything in between! My question is this....what is a good way to get the banners to the band so they can sign? I tried a letter to David Gans and he informed me he wont be on this tour or in contact with the band. I have asked everyone I know for ideas and have gotten some good ones but I am still looking for a way, if anyone can help. Feel free to email me at jphilipedwards@yahoo.com Peace.

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.

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!
