    Roseland Taping? Goes to show.....
    Hey Y'all! In response to the timing of the email, my winning notification came at 12:12pm EST. I was also sitting at my computer when they announced the contest yesterday and immediately went to the website to fill in my entry form. I just noticed that the Gramercy show only holds around 100 people! Wow, that is tiny!!! So, there were only 50 winners (of a pair each) for that one! Lucky You!!! Roseland seems to be closer to 1000 capacity so they gave away 405 pairs for that one. That seems like it will be quite a lovely psychedelic set as it starts at 11pm and the boys don;t have anywhere to be after that one (except bed) AND they are on West Coast time!!! So, it is really 8pm for them! I better drink lots of Green Tea before this one! (^_^) (yes that's right after all these years of living the spiritual healthy cleansing path some simple Green Tea or Yerba Mate is all I need to make me shine me like the sun!) Still have not found or heard of any info regarding TAPING for these shows so if anyone has the word on that, please pass it along! I am planning on bringing my gear and am praying I get to set it up - or even get in with it! On a side note, already found a sweet friend here in Western Mass to be my show buddy and wonderfully enough it is her Birthday on Monday! She has also seen hundreds of shows and has not seen any of "the boys" since Jerry left us so I am already feeling the true homecoming of these shows and this Tour! Paradise Waits....... ~ Antonio ~

    Got mine around quarter past noon EDT. I would think they'd all be out by now, but I'm no authority. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Did you just get the email recently or has it been more than an hour since you received it? Just trying to figure out if the invitations are all out? Thanks!

    I was lucky to get Roseland. I'm coming up from Miami and found that you can book last minute flights plus Hotel (I got Park Central Hotel) cheaper than the flight alone. I went through Travelocity-$515 for roundtrip flight plus two nights across from Carnegie Hall, 5 short blocks down Broadway to Roseland. Flight alone was over $550. Looking to see other lucky ones there. Take care all,DRR

    Taping Monday? I'm In Roseland! Who's is in Gramercy? Team Up?
    Hey! Just got the glorious email from Dead.net - I am in for Roseland! It looks like the largest of the venues 1000+ but still tiny by any other measure for the power of The Dead! I am wondering if anyone has any word on taping policies for this show? I could not find any information on it anywhere on the site. You would think it would be ok. You would think anyways..... I am coming a long way (from Western Mass) and do not want to lug all that gear into NYC if there is no taping allowed. Anyone get a green light for Gramercy? Want to team up and get me in to Gramercy and I will get you into Roseland? I will also have some sweet recordings of the show too! (I hope!) Any one in general coming from Western Mass or up this way that may want to truck along with me to the show - let me know!!! Let's Get On With The Show......... LET"S GO!!!!! (^_^) Antonio (^_^)

this tour is kind of over, but other forum topics are reasonably lively. There's a good deal more to the site than this one topic.

Hey there, can anyone tell me if GDTS-TOO has sent out the mail order tickets for the Further gigs for Sept. 18-19-20 in Oakland? Did anyone here receive their tix yet? Gigs are two weeks from today, and though I haven't done mail order since spring tour '95 it seems that I always got my tickets in the mail by the time it was two weeks to the show date. Thanks!

out of the bush for a little while, met up with a little birdie who told me to keep yer eyes and ears open for some NYE shows at the Great American Music Hall in SF. odds are it will be Further rather then the Dead or possibly the DOG and Phriends... at the very least, Jackie Greene will be playing!! ( -: the rumor mill has just started cranking back to life. love and peace.

Since DSO and Govt Mule each have NYE plans already I would place my bet on a RatDog/Phriends show like last year. "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."

yup, the music hall only has about a 5 or 600 standing capacity... Greene is slated to play there 12/30 / 12/31; will some of the boys show up to jam? will the Dog or Phriends set up their own joint gigs back at the Civic Center like last year?? well, well, well, you can never tell. Further is busy until mid-Dec, on the east coast... figure a couple of weeks off for Christmas, and then... hmmmm.... peace.

What is the address of the Great American Music Hall and is it near the Cal Train Station? Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm 74

folks, please keep in mind The Dead or the Dog or Phriends or Further for NYE is a rumour. IF, Lesh or Weir do not schedule their own shows, they MAYBE might, MAYBE show up at the Music Hall and jam with Jackie... well, well, well, you can never tell... peace.

Hi! I am working on research for a film about DIY music venues, and in the process have stumbled across accounts of the Dead's 1967 "Great Northern Tour." I have read that this was one of the first instances of a major band financing an entire tour themselves. I do not know much more than this, or am I very knowledgeable about the Dead but I thought someone here might be able to answer some questions and shed some light on the history. Is there a board member I should talk to in particular? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Direct message me with any and all insights. THANK YOU -Sam

well well well, you can never tell. right NOW, Jackie is scheduled and tix on sale for the GAMH, 12/30 and 12/31/09 same same last year, Jackie WAS slated for the GAMH around this time, but once Weir and Lesh decided to play the civic center, Jackie cancelled the GAMH and joined in over there. last year, it was, however, around this time that Jackie cancelled the GAMH... so if there is no word from Weir or Lesh in the next couple of weeks, I wouldN't expect any dead / Phriends / DOg shows. the BIG factor this year, , Weir and Lesh are doing the Furthur thing on the east coast until 12/13... so who knows? maybe those boys will just want to take a well deserved rest... Weir got to rest up for the Jamaica thing, too. personally, I think there will NOT be any DOG or Phriends shows, but they MAYBE will show up at the GAMH and jam with jackie. (they did that before some other show a while back...) rumours still flying around... if there is any confirmation one way or the other, please let us know. likewise, I'll do the same. peace.

but with our luck (or mine anywhose..) it would be left over green beer from St. Patty's Day and for my money, one thing the world does NOT need right now (or ever for that matter) is a bunch of drunk monkies flying around sick on green beer. Hate it when that happens. The camp on Mem. weekend sounds nice BTW.

Hey now! New to the forums, but long to the vibe! We're traveling from DC/VA to CA for this summer's Mountain Air Fest!! Curious to know from other's who have been to this location- the Calaveras County Fairgrounds/Angel's Camp....should we expect it to be as large and as well outfitted as our (east-coast) All Good Festival, for example? Car camping probable if one arrives early? Bountiful food vendors, so as not to worry about cooking? Port-a-johns and pay-showers available? Kind friends? Mellow/safe vibe, despite the huge turnout? We'd love to know as much as we can so we can be well prepared to party! Thanks! ...and see ya'll west-coasters out east for the remainder of the Spring shows!
