    And take yet another step back....
    I thought Bobby said that alot during shows because he was so strung out on coke in the late 70s early 80s? "If you all just take a step back, your friends up front won't look so horribly bug eyed" LOL, but yes, dangerous behaviour was not the deads intensions at all. I don't agree with all the nitrous balloons in the lot (because, lets face it, its flamable) but as far as everything else goes, the parking lot is what turned me on to the dead. I never knew of the underground hippy world till I went to my 1st show in 91, and guess what? I STARTED IN THE PARKING LOT, Now don't get me wrong, if I had a choice to stay in the lot or see the show, id take the show, hands down.Phatmoye

    just a couple things (or more)
    1st - regarding Fire on the Mountain "rap" - listen to the Rolling Thunder LP version - I think that's the first place it appeared - Mickey "raps" on it there.2nd - about Jerry never telling people what to - ever hear him (and the “Other Ones” ;) tell people to back up from the stage? Dangerous behavior which might hurt people is not part of the trip, in the show or in the parking lot. Also – my vote is for a summer tour at outdoor venues with opening acts like maybe Blitzen Trapper, Umphrey’s McGee and an acoustic set by Robert Hunter which could morph into an opening acoustic set with boys… just pipe dreamin’ ...

    High ticket prices?
    I read some complaints about ticket prices. I am not talking about the sharks but the official price of about $ 100,- We thought that was very expensive. We live in Holland and we just bought tickets for a concert of Ry Cooder and Nick Lowe. We had to pay $ 160 per ticket. I thought that was expensive. Then I realized that we paid only 2/3 of that price for a concert of the Dead. That put this price in a different perspective. Ship of Fools

    it's not so simple
    Parking lot owned by venue owner. Too much trouble (to the Man's eyes) in parking lot and too much media about what goes on and too much publicity and pressure put on venue owner maybe not to have band around or other events and venue owners tell this to band. I can't imagine that parking lots have been declared a free zone where anything goes. We did have it good in many places though. It's all politics and business even if you hate politics and business. The Dead are a business and work in a political world with rules and laws and pressures. After we leave the venue owners still need to deal with the local power system long after we are gone and they are going to want to not have big hassles with that system and to keep having music events to make $. reality can suck If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

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!

We're definitely considering DSO on 11/21. Do you really think they're worth seeing?

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.

that'd be a real tough ticket. The GAMH is tiny. Really cool venue, but tiny.

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

as I recall from postings elsewhere, Jackie Greene is doing HIS NYE shows at the GAMH those nights.

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!

This thread is pretty old, but I don't know if it's old enough to need wrinkle cream. Besides, wouldn't that just make our monitors look all streaky? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
