dead.net the official site

I couldn't find the definition anywhere. I hope it doesn't mean disappointed because you east coast people get the most shows by far and have no reason to whine. Lucky ducks. Enjoy the shows. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Three NY State shows in a week...let's see, Cornell, work a couple of days, Buffalo, work a day and then off to my college town Utica. Sounds like a great week to me...maybe I'll take those in between days off as well:) Can't wait. DSO Friday 12-5 in Rochester and then my countdown begins to V-Day. Thanks for the Tour

And then there's the northeast. There's two shows in NC on this tour, so I'm definitely NOT complaining. But I used to live in Rhode Island, different scale altogether. To get to either of my NC shows, my drive is approximately as far away as it used to be for me to drive to Portland, ME, three states away. I could see shows in RI, CT, MA, NH, and ME (with NY and NJ not that much farther away) and still be in the same driving radius as my current two NC shows. Not that I'm complaining...still beats being in Kansas, Furthur-wise..

Here's a scale difference between the NE and the middle of the country - For the Dead Spring tour I caught 5 shows by driving a good 6,000 miles. That's 1,200 miles in between each show on average. I keep thinking - how many shows could I have seen if I drove just 1,200 miles around the NE?? I would have seen the Dead/Ratdog/Furthur a couple hundred times by now if I lived up there. Must be nice. So yeah it is a bit annoying to hear people in the NE complain about not having enough shows. That goes for the bay area too. "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."

You live in a tiny state, and your sense of scale gets out-of-whack no matter how much you think it doesn't. The joke went, in my neck of the woods (NW corner of the state, as far from the coast as you can get)...if you're headed to the beach in Westerly (about 60 miles), better think about getting a hotel for the night. So I didn't appreciate how good I had it, show-wise, until I moved someplace else. And to emphasize, it ain't bad here at all...just needed to readjust my map a little.

anyone remember what the password was for presale on Radio City shows? .....roll away the dew

Wish I could help, I got mine through the music today website and no password was needed, but the presale for both radio city shows is full on there..

The only one here in the NW, only 293 miles away at the end of winter. Going to take a bit more time off and hang out in the City, visit Powell's bookstore and go over to the ocean. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

TEXAS!!!! please. :)

They just announced 2 Furthur shows in Colorado just days before my birthday!!! Ok no more complaining from my end! :-) Wooooohoooooo!!!!!!! "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."

My boy seems to have sparked some weekend Broomfield, CO dates. Way to be lookin' out, Eags.

That's right - he did promote Broomfield! Nice vibes bro! "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."

Dead Heads in Atlanta...our time has finally come! Wind inside & the wind outside Tangled in the window blind...

@ Eagle: Great job in suggesting Broomfield--you hit it right on the head--two shows at Broomfield between Chi-town and Portland. This head who has been stuck in Kansas for 3 years will sure be there. Looking forward to FURTHURing my acquaintance with all my Boulder/Crested Butte brethren. BTW: I have seen Jerry 10,000 times--if you count all the magazine pics I have looked at!! (I know--but like Bob Weir says: "It's not easy being cheesy")

Let the good times roll!! Thanks to the band for playing in my back yard! "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."

I certainly hope they do expand the tour, but where have seen confirmation of Colorado shows? Peace - David

I just saw it on Furthur .net

Check out furthur.net. "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."

Broomfield -- coincidence, clairvoyance? I dunno, but I cannot wait. Hat goes off to these cats w/ such a long tour in winter no-less -- none of us spring chickens anymore. Rock-on fellas!

For Hampton Coliseum Feb. 12. Got general admission floor tix. The only place to be at Hampton! So excited to be able to take my 13 year old son to the venue where I saw my first Dead show!

Thanks Eagle!!!! Thanks Furthur!!!!! Just a short ride up the road to Broomfield! Got tickets today, can't wait!

Got my tickets!!!Nothin left to do but smile smile smile ;)

Congratulations on the two Colorado shows! Hope they're somewhere in your vicinity!

Thank you for finally hitting something in the mid west.Will be worth the 9 hr drive..

Those of you with tickets to Cornell & Radio City are so lucky - wish I could make those shows.

We got the floor Gen Admission tickets for Atlanta - anyone know about this venue? A bunch of "regular" concert goers on other sites say that balcony is better than floor at this venue. Is this possibly the case??? I can't imagine GA floor "seats" is a bad thing for this band. Also - to the JK haters: back of the bus with the Warren haters please. If you want to see anything that resembles the band that you love enough to be reading this forum then I just can't compute why you would rag on whoever they decide is going to play guitar for them. News flash: Jerry's not up in Hoboken running a pizza place for his uncle Lenny. He's dead. So in light of that news I think the boys have consistently made pretty good musician choices over the past few years and I think we should all just take what we get and enjoy the ride, the music, and each others company. I will be looking forward to seeing some of you on the road and in the aisles. Safe travels. Why did somebody label all these tapes with "mono sodium glutamate"?

I have tickets for Portland, OR general admission floor. Anyone know how the venue is set up and if the floors are before the reserved seating ? I am hoping for a Seattle show so I can take my 3 year old. Me and the wife are going down to Portland for a nice 3 day weekend

Hello all.Im on the west coast and dont think Ill be able to make it to NY next week for the shows. I have two (2) for each show in NYC, CT, and Asbury Park. Something has come up and I suddenly cant make it. Help me out, I don't want to get stuck with all these tickets. email me at: borealiselectric@yahoo.com

Minnesota needs some love!! There is time in the tour to make a stop before the chicago shows. The fan base is huge and minneapolis is filled with perfect sized venues! See everyone soon on NYE!!!

Hey Carolina, there really isn't a bad seat in the Tabernacle. I think the only reason folks dis the floor is because we Heads are not as young as we used to be and our old bones require a seat. You may have a few audio issues if you are on the back of the floor or in the last three rows of any balcony due to the overhang, but you are that much closer to the full service bar in that case. No worries............ David

Thanks David. Put it this way - you seem to be familiar with the venue...knowing the scene there, did you buy floors or balcony? (Did you buy tix?)

"New York Shows On December 4th, 2009 fillmore said: Those of you with tickets to Cornell & Radio City are so lucky - wish I could make those shows." Yes. Epic. I saw six of the original RCMH shows including halloween, and barton hall '81. Epic. beenwAytoolongatsea

When are the Boys going to come back to Europe?!

I am taking my wife and she would be more comfortable, the ticket prices were not that different and we won't have to get there super early to claim our spot.

see above. Maybe I'll do a ski trip if I-70 is open.

Has anyone gotten thier New Years from the mail order yet?

Thanks David. Have a great time!

Tickets are to expensive over 100.00 dollars I guess I wont be going.WHAT A RIP OFF

The tickets are not over $100. Even my tickets for the three set show on NYE were under $65.- Will, MN

Does anyone know good alt. routes around mountains traveling west on I-80?

Even with all the extra charges. "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."

Even if the tickets were $100 they would be worth it! You never know how many shows we have left...so damn the cost...we're going to FURTHUR! Wind inside & the wind outside Tangled in the window blind...

Amen! this music is priceless!

Is it against the law to "trade tickets" Have 2 Asbury tix...looking to trade one for a Asbury Sat ticket...Wonder if there will be any "scene" There....not familiar w/ venue.............................counting the minutes till Asbury park

should have specified in previous post.."have two SUNDAY ASbury tix...looking to trade one for Sat....

try the tix wanted/offered topics, you might have more luck there.

Any news on set list from tonight?

I: Truckin > Dire Wolf > Doin That Rag > Ramble On Rose > Reuben and Cerise > Looks Like Rain > Cosmic CharlieII: Stronger than Dirt > He's Gone > New Potato Caboose > The Other One > Days Between > ... "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."

I'm counting down the hours until show on Friday in CT.
