    WARNING--crossposted from Wharf Rats thread
    mona Offline passing it on Sunday night at Red Rocks, 2 wrats were offered chocolate that was packaged in a commercial way,while they were standing at the table. this happened right before the set break meeting. They examined it and ate it and the guy who gave it to them said nothing and walked away. This is a horrible thing to happen to someone in recovery, let alone anyone! Even with people who are using, proper "drug edicate", is always to ask if the person wants to dose. It was an extremely frightening experience for those 2 wrats and I would hate for this to happen again. I don't know if the person who gave it to them had malicious intent b ut it should never have happened. Here is a description of the chocolate and packaging: silver foil on the inside with a lilac colored label with printed ingredients and some sort of local logo for chocolate company. It was a smaller bar and chocolate had nuggets in it. I did some research and found out these we're all over redrocks, and apparently had mushroom powder in them. Not sure if this was someone local from Colorado or if they will have them on the whole tour. Please be aware if you are attending any upcoming shows. This happened right at the wharf rat table!! I pray this never happens again

    Thanks for the report Ted. I am leaving early tomorrow on the long journey to Portland. I'll let you know how it goes. Come and say hi if you see someone with something to do with badgers on his t-shirt. That'll likely be me.

    Moving west with Furthur Fall 2012
    Redrocks rocked and rolled for 3 nights this past weekend. I really liked the 2nd set from Saturday, with the Unbroken Chain coming out of St. Stephen, then returning to Dark Star. The musicians are playing well together: Phil looks great! Take the first letter from each of the Sunday songs, up to He's Gone, and see what phrase you spell out! What nuggets will break out in Seattle and Troutdale? Looking forward to reading more reports and evaluations from Hal, Johnman and CB up in the Pacific Northwest! 09/23/12 (Sun) Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Morrison, CO Set 1: Samson & Delilah, Tennessee Jed, Easy Wind, Alabama Getaway, Loose Lucy, You Win Again (1), Operator (2), Uncle John's Band Set 2: Reuben & Cherise > Feel Like A Stranger, Alligator > Cumberland Blues, Eyes of the World (3) > He's Gone > Viola Lee Blues > Caution > Viola Lee Blues > Black Peter > Viola Lee Blues E: Brokedown Palace 09/22/12 (Sat) Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Morrison, CO Set 1: Here Comes the Sun, Cassidy, Scarlet Begonias > Good Lovin', Peaceful Valley (1), Mountain Song > So Many Roads > Sugar Magnolia Set 2: Playing in the Band > No More Do I > China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Dark Star > St. Stephen > Unbroken Chain > Dark Star > Fire on the Mountain E: Morning Dew > Playing in the Band (reprise) 09/21/12 (Fri) Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Morrison, CO Set 1: Help on the Way > Slipknot! > The Golden Road (to Unlimited Devotion) > Mexicali Blues > Mama Tried, Althea, Let It Ride > Mason's Children Set 2: Weather Report Suite Prelude > WRS Part I > Let It Grow > Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude Reprise > The Other One > Shakedown Street > Standing on the Moon > The Wheel > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower E: U.S. Blues

    Maybe this will clarify
    (I should have posted this here instead of the other thread) "There is a difference... Between being an ape or a clone and playing a song the way it is supposed to be played. The problem here is that this is "jam-band" genre. So that means not only that the lead guitar has to go off on his own tangent, he needs to do that in synch with other band members. So I guess you have to give JK credit for being able to do those two things well. I suppose it really is too much to ask Phil & Bob to keep the tempos up. Why would I be saddened by that? It's like asking your dog not to grow old. They do and they slow down. When you're not that old yet and still have the energy and memory it's just discordant. So I am ready to blame me rather than anybody else for not being satisfied with Furthur. (Boy, that was a long process!)" Anyway, I'm bitching way too much lately. Think I'll stop now.

    Furthur has had only very minor personnel change over it's almost three year history. I have come to the conclusion that Phil & Bob, as musical artists, can choose to play their music however they wish. They don't have to do the thing that made Grateful Dead shows a great ride. I do wonder what a musician like Neil Young would have to say about their music at present. I enjoyed the last Furthur show I went to. But, I sure didn't dance. I felt like I had just eaten Chinese food. An hour later I was hungry again -- but not for more Chinese food. It's cool, all in perspective now. I had a great time with it for a couple of years and now I'm through. Let other people enjoy it. If they can...

    Cary- July 11
    I see the Cary show is taking a beating. First set was ok. I liked Doin' that Rag. I liked the 2nd set better with the jams. Not much Phil- 2 songs. Midnight Hour was the 2nd set highlight. John does a very good job - John has a better vibe than Warren or Jimmy. His guitar tone at times has a 1973/74 Wolf tone. Bobby played the Strat the whole 2nd set. Not a good sign. Hope he's not returning to that awful 80s'-90's solid body guitar tone. Hope he plays the semi-hollow body Gibson more. Shakedown was mediocre, not much there compared to another show I went to. Instead of GD songs, hope Furthur inserts more obscure or original songs to give Furthur a life of its own- Mountain Song, Muli Gully, Colors of the Rain, Money for gasoline (ratdog)...etc.. Wish they would throw more of those in the setlist. Love Colors of the Rain

I live in Las Vegas and have seen Ratdog many times here and Furthur once. Lookin forward to New Years with Furthur in San Francisco!I dont mean to speculate but Bill and Mickey for special guest at a Furthur show would complete the universe. New Years would be perfect. You just KNOW its gonna come true… Still, Furthur is bathing in great success today and the above posts are all right and true. Love to all you grate people peeps graple! smilin' on a cloudy day

Hey now, where is everyone these days? LIning up 2011 show plans? We got tix for 3/4 & 3/6 at the Orpheum in Boston. No luck yet on 3/5, but still waiting for word from DS TOO - hope they come through for us! This is the first time I've tried the mail order route. The online presale was totally hopeless. It is unfortunate that the mail order and general online sales aren't timed far enough apart for you to know whether you've scored on one before you try the other.

Just saw for 2011 2 shows in Fla. First one at the new University of Central Florida's Arena. Just opened back in 08 and this a beautiful place to see a show with plenty of parking and lots of room for vending, partying, etc..., just watch out for the campus police, they can be real backward thinking and have a tendency for overreacting. With that in mind, have fun but be safe. Since the band will be skipping North Carolina this spring, I can't think of a better place to be in April, Sun, fun, furthur, definately something better to think about besides all of this snow and cold up here.

Jack: Looks like you have three shows coming up in CO, and I'll bet you're going to all of them - enjoy!Ted & Sam: What about the SC show? Just wondering, I would think that would be a nice warm spring venue as well. We've got tickets for 3/4 & 3/6 at the Orpheum in Boston. It's a small venue that sold out quickly. It's a real Brokedown Palace with lots of duct-taped renovations, but it's only 12 miles from our house, so we would love to be able to do all three shows. Still waiting to see if mail order comes through for us (and if it does, we'll have too many tickets - but better than getting shut out!) I'm surprised there isn't more conversation on this site - The Dead in 09 tour generated so much action, I could barely keep up with it after work. And that was just one tour in one season, where it feels like Furthur is taking us further indeed - a lot to be happy about, especially for folks like me, who got on te bus belatedly.

We went to one of their shows in early Sept at the Hampton Beach Casino (NH) in early Sept, and it was great! Right-up-front forty-dollar tickets in a small-summer venue, too!Would definitely recommend and hope they come back soon.

is an outdoor facility, alot like the bayfront in Miami, there is absolutely no tailgating at this place and parking will be expensive and iffy. I love south Fla but I will pass on this show, as far as South Carolina, I had a bad experience there and wouldn't set foot in that state for love or money or even free tickets, the cops in this state suck and they will bust you or at least mess with you if you look the least little bit like a head, good luck to any and all going there.

Hey boyz and girlz...LOVE YOU....missed you too. Figured I'd just write everything here, because I assume most people check this thread. I've been under some serious pressures lately, Mom is back in the hospital, and honestly when she was out it was like a full time babysitting job. So, I appreciate all the kind vibes from all you from before, she's doing ok, just not there yet. Also, I've been working on projects @ the same time so I've had to put PRIORITIES ahead of being online and talking to my family. I will be getting everything squared away here in the next couple of days, I really just need to sleep and take a breather from the Chaos of what I've been dealing with. So please don't think that I've forgot about prizes and Getting back online/chatting/talking/vining and talking with all you kind folks. Just know that I've been under EXTREME stress with Mom's Disease and dealing with the game called "Life". Thanks for understanding, and I love you my family....ALOT! In fact without some of my close friends and dead.netters (family freinds) I don't think I'd still be sane right now. Love, Canyon Critter ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥ Twirly Banner

To all heads going to this show......I live in this area and would like to inform ALL heads attending. This venue is across the strreet form a police department and jail. 6 UP people.Nothing cool ever happens here & I do not expect much tolernce. I may be wrong. Maybe they want to start having more shows to bring in revenue and will be very tolerant. One can hope, and I have been surprised before. Just thought I would throw it out there.

I thought it was a wonderful show! The first couple of songs didn't excite me too much, but from Alabama Getaway on, it was all good. The second set was truly amazing!We went to all three Boston shows, and I was lucky to hear a lot of favorite songs I hadn't hear live before: Alabama Getaway, Crazy Fingers, Help>Slip> Franklin, Morning Dew, Tom Thumb's Blues, Mason's Children, Passenger, and St. Stephen. It does seem like they don't always pay enough attention to what they've played in a certain geographical area before. For example, there was only one song at the 11/19/10 Worcester show that I hadn't seen Furthur do before (China Doll), and it was only my fifth Furthur show. And the 3/5 Ripple encore was nice to hear as always, but that was the encore for the 6/30 Lowell show and the 11/19 Worcester show, so it does become a little less special. So I was really glad to get so many tunes in Boston that I hadn't seen them do before.

I echo your comments about the Friday night show. Second set rocked. Glad you enjoyed all three shows. My next taste will be Radio City. I heard Warren Haynes joined the boys for the Second Set last night. Anybody out there have a review. I saw the Allman Brothers Saturday night and Warren absolutely burned the place. It was his night and he was sizzling, especially the first set. However, I never thought he quite meshed during THE DEAD tour a few years ago, so I'm curious if he was able to shine with Furthur.

Anyone get reserved seats in the pre-sale?? What an F'ing joke. I was on right when the clock struck 10 (our time) and every single reserved seat was gone, not 10:05 not 10:01, hell not even 10:00:30. Then you check stub hub and ticketnow and wow there's the tickets in some damn scalper's hand already. How do they do that?? Is it an inside job?? WTF???
