    Intolerable job that I have to quit, miserable town that I have to get out of. What better timing than the new year. I'll be able to see more than half the shows and land myself on the West Coast.

    ...to answer all the questions in this thread
    1. There won't be many (or any) more shows than the ones they have announced. Warren is committed to Govt Mule and the Allmans. There will be a Phil/Ratdog tour in the summer. Not a Dead tour. So forget about all that. 2. Don't sweat the tickets for this tour. Above all else DON'T PANIC AND BUY SCALPER TICKETS. The demand for this tour will not be anywhere near the demand for Phish in Hampton, etc. Even though the Dead will probably be 100 times better than Phish. There will be PLENTY of tickets so relax. 3. This may be The Last Time to see them play together, so if you are old school, get out to a show, at least.

    Once again the Northwest gets left out, Not all of us can afford to drive to Denver or down to Shoreline to see the boys, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A NORTHWEST SHOW, either Seattle or Portland????????/ 411 shows and counting. One day I'll actually get around to listing them all.

    i can't stop smilin'......14 years of memories, (saw my first show in '79)......and the magical,musical possiblilities of this tour are just incredible....i have certainly seen my share of Phil & Friends and Ratdog since Jer, and have spent the last few years seeing all the Warren shows i can get to.....this is my dream come true......Warren is the only musician i want to see do Jer's tunes.....seeing the press release video just makes me SO HAPPY to see the guys so inspired to do this!!!!! Livin' in VA....will definitely be doing Greensboro, D.C. and Charlottesville.......if things go well, perhaps Jersey or Philly .......best believe I'm pushing that POSITIVE VIBE to all, ......... Peace, Trish ALL GOOD THINGS IN ALL GOOD TIME.....

    Don't get wrong, jumping all around the country to see phil or bobby is a ton of fun but thank jerry the boys are back, I had a good feeling after the Penn State Obama show, the show was great, the lot was old school with a good fun & a kind vibe. I got the e-mail at three thirty in the morning on New years and everyone in my house thought I was having a freakin kinniption fit because i was so excited runnig around yelling. Thank Jerry for letting us have Warren again, now if we could just get him to become a permanet member of the dead, In my personal opioin and don't anyone get upset but he is the only guy that has some of the qualities not only musically but personally to fill those gigantic shoes. I miss Jerry just as much as anyone else but I think warren was great on the last tour and it seems like all the boys are on fire and ready to go. I can't wait to wait to get back on the road, I miss my friend and i miss the shows, festivals are just starting to get old as i get older. So pack The bus Boy & Girls cause the Dead are calling your name, HeLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YeaHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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.
