Grateful Dead

Keep on rockin' dude!

I can only pray I'll be as creative and energetic at 70. Hell, I'd probably settle for half as creative and energetic!

Further proof that music keeps you young

Hey PHIL, I will be there!!

I love FURTHUR !!!!!!!!!!!!Rogue

If anything every happens to me I want to be an organ donor.I signed it. You are so special, that's you! There is no better way to prove all of our love exists, than by just thinking of you. You are so loved by so many of us and we feel lucky to love you, that's real love. (*) ------------{-----@ Happy Birthday Old Friend! 70 HA!

TomBanjo What are the VIP Tickets? I have been there before and I thought it was all GA?????

Go to http://furthur.tickets.musictoday.com/Furthur/calendar.aspx and look at the pricing, etc. All questions are answered there. "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

TomBanjo So I guess you still get a GA ticket but also poster and shirt? Does Furthur and Friends mean others could show up???? Could be interesting.

Dear Everybody, (aka ALL),I was doing my morning mediation on this Martin Luther King Day and visualizing MLK’s awesome journey as Phil Lesh came to mind, he too has had an incredible journey. My years with Phil are many and am honored to have been guided from one man to another as I dwelt on the subject of service. Phil has been in service too, as an organ donor. His near death experience was one of my many dark hours I have had along my way. I surely suffered many nights thinking and praying for Phil and that we’d get one more Saturday night. I had already been subjected to the death’s of so many people that were close me, I just was at a certain point of uncertainty. Then this young man came along with a spirit so real he could surely share the vehicle of it with another. Phil was saved. My gratitude, my entire existence changed that day. I loved a stranger completely, honestly and with my whole heart. His gift was the greatest I’ve ever known. What a delightful and beautiful young man and now he was my hero forever. In writing this, I am inspired by every Donor Rap I’ve shared with Phil and let me tell you I try not to miss many. So, what better way to celebrate MLK Day then to give the gift of yourself. Dead is dead, and death don’t have no mercy in this land unless you sign the back of your driver’s license>>>then you just may get back trucking on. I don’t believe it’s really over at that point in existence, as I have experienced it in another way. Science and technology have made remarkable strides in life saving transplants because of an individual decision was made to share what’s still good. Death comes in a zillion varieties but it’s still death. I would love to die and end up helping a little child with a need. To laugh and play a little longer at a cellular level, woo hoo, X sign me up! Just like the young man that helped Phil continue to satisfy so many music lovers...it’s like the biggest WOW, EVAH! I rock out a cellular level with the greatest kid in the world. I send Reiki healing to Phil and all of his cells almost everyday, I look at his picture and am grateful every time we get one more jam! Phil rocks, they are called, “ PHIL BOMBS” for a reason! And NYE will be a forever favorite memory that ALL I have to do is to think about it and I will smile. If you want to emulate, “ grateness” on this MLK Day; sign the back of your driver’s license and share something of yourself today. The best thing anyone can get in this life is one more day and best yet...one more Saturday night. You can be specific and just give a kidney, or a liver, a lung, best yet you could give your heart; and even if it’s been broken a few times...no one will know, that is in the spirit, the journey, not in the flesh. Ahhhhh very well, I’m in service as I write this as I know my hope is to inspire you to become an organ donor and stay around for a little bit longer, a little bit more. I know I’d love it cause if you’re reading this you probably love what I love, Grateful Dead Music. The music that moves the flesh and spirit, delights the senses and tickles the mind. Additionally, may reading this give YOU a little sweetness and a little light, were bound to cover to just a little more ground. Ok>>> use a sharpie marker and if it wears off just sign it again and again. I attest the love the our fellow men is real and will not fade away because we’re built to last. Ok k k here’s my next idea and why I posted this here: Let’s party around the world with Phil on March 12, 2010, post picture’s, eat cake and rock out everyweir, um everywhere! Get yer local Dead cover band (hey now, thanks to you ALL for ALL them other nights) and get em on a stage and party like yer right there in San Francisco! Cause ya know ALL of us can’t be there. I call it A reason to party around the world. Feel free to copy and paste this to share, share, share. The idea.... the message is true and love is real. (Sunshine is free!) I can’t be in San Fran but I will be celebrating, to be sure. Let’s celebrate the music from where evah we are and the dead heads of the world can join San Fran from each corner and shout HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL! Then get yer Phil Bomb they really satisfy! And by the way Phil, I really want a picture of me with your guitar, I love it! It’d make a great a Relix cover, to be sure. Maybe the headline could read, “ What makes her soul shine!” They could just print this post because it true and no one has to try to make good, it just is, like you, man just like you. Well, maybe this is hard to handle but it goes like that. Baby, here I am. Rock on 2010! Signed with all my love, SherBear --------{-----@

I got my GA tickets for the birthday show and I am so excited!!! I am still curious about the VIP tickets, can you get into the venue early or something?

Someone I know asked me the other day "who is Phil Lesh" without thinking I replied "the classiest man in show biz" If you have ever met Phil you know what I mean. What a guy.

I couldn't get to NYE this year :( but I get to celebrate Phil's B-Day! YAY! Can't wait til 3/12/10! Love to all...

That made me laugh after a crap day at work :-) "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

Currently caught up in Rio Carnaval land I found myself wanting to wear my costume to Phil's birthday party, and now I see there's to be a float and parade: cool! The costume is on!

Yeah I saw that too. Is the parade through the civic auditorium? Seems almost impossible to fit a float through there especially since it is sold out! Crazy!! "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

Mickey and Billy both in the area around that time, could it be? If so, will it be an omen of what is to come? Bring out your dead.

What if BK3 showed up.. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

Has anyone received mail order tix for this event?? I mailed in but haven't received anything yet...getting nervous!

From GDTSTOO: Phil Lesh's 70th birthday celebration, featuring Furthur & Friends, Friday, March 12, 2010 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, CA update: Your chances of receiving VIP tickets this show are 1 in 2.5. Please note there is general admission seating upstairs. Everyone who sent in for general admission or general admission as an option will get tickets. Ticketing is in progress. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

Postman just dropped my SF tickets in my box...oh joy!!

On the SF Chronicle homepage there is a link to secondary ticket sellers asking between $85-$1000 per ticket (I am not making this up). How is this OK? And let's say not every one of these tickets is sold off, what happens then? Are they kicked back down to the box office as day of show tickets? Or do they unload them to the professional street scalpers? Enquiring minds who are limited to 4 tickets per household want to know.(I could have ordered 4, but I only ordered 2, by the way, cause I thought that's how it's done, you know, you let everyone who wants to go get a chance to get their tickets, but I'll bet I'll run into a few friends who are shut out) Is this part of what it takes in order to purvey any tickets at all through on-line, or even ticket outlet services, sort of like a package deal? Do they have you (the band) by the short and curlies? I just wanna know, cause I feel kinda sick. Thank you.

So I went back and took a look at the ticketmaster site and the tickets seem to be from individual sellers, and there's not many of them. Still, it seems like scalping to me, which I thought was illegal. The back of my ticket says maximum resale restrictions may apply, e.g. PA: greater of $5 or 25% of ticket price, plus tax.(Penn's Peak shutouts, take note) So, what's the law here in California? Frankly, I'm tired of seeing all these street corner scalpers with wads of tickets in their hands. Usually I ignore them, but maybe tomorrow night I'll engage some of them in friendly, disingenuous conversations as to how did they get all these tickets, where did they come from, where is the money going to, and so on. Or maybe when one of them asks me if I have any extras to sell (as they always do), I'll yell at them to get the fuck away from me, you fucking rip-off, for a change. We'll see.

Gonna have a Special night TONIGHT!Wishes Do Come True, everyday.
