Hey now, please tell the boys that David Nelson should be asked to play witj tjem. I believe he was actually an original Warlock. He has played in more bands with Jerry than anyone in the dead. He has similar style as Jerry but not the same. He is also a familiar face that we have known for forty years. Bringing out new people,(Warren, Molo, etc distracts me more than adds to my trip. I wouldn't even know David was there he would fit in so well..

How can I find a CD or tape from this incredible show? Sirius does a 'set 2 jam' that makes me dance. Any info would be really cool. Thanks, Doug

Posters

I just bought the Winterland boxed set, and I was wondering if there is a poster for that as well. If there is please let me know because I am buying it for my husbands birthday. Kind Regards, Sandi Van De Vere sandit93@yahoo.com

I don't THINK so, but I'll ask.

Store Help

I am new but have no idea where to get help. I was shorted an item with a big order from the store and after many many attempts over the course of a month I can't get anyone with the store to respond to an email or anything. Are there real people working over there and what is a customer to do with a real issue when they won't provide a phone number to use or respond to any email inquiries. Any help to find a live body at the Dead store would be very much appreciated. I hate to give up on them all together and just get a refund from my cc company, but what choice do they leave me. Thank you and happy bird day, Greg

celtic

send me a PM with the order number and reelvant details and I'll pass this to those wo an straighten it out. So sorry for the trouble.

sandit

as we suspected, nope, no poster. Sorry about that!

navagation made easy

go to archive.org, click on "live music archive" (2nd row of boxes)... look at top bar on page, see "grateful dead", click on that and have fun! i like the "this day in grateful dead history" feature! like the zig-zag man says... enjoy!peace

Presales

How do I become eligible for presales?

Dead Head Bars

Does anybody now of any good ones in northern NJ?

jdecker

presale info will be posted very visibly in due course!

anybody have

$5,000 that they don't need for awhile?

What's up with the presale

What's up with the presale for 09. Trying for Denver, do I use this website or ticketbastard?

Also Questioning Presale

I am also curious about presale and how to do it. I know how to handle mail order but if I can get them easily throught pre-sale I would rather. Anyone have a scoop on it? Thanks

presale tickets

This might not be the place for this question but, if not I would appreciate some direction. I am trying to learn how to be able to get presale tickets? Thanks for any help.

eboy et al

check the homepage early and often is my best advice.

Is this link legit?

A friend sent me this link for tour tickets. I can not link to it through this site. I also signed up for email notification and have received nothing. The information in this link says they are only accepting money orders. Is this legit or is someone pulling a scam? http://gdtstoo.com/GDTSTOOTheDeadSpring09.html

Presales

Seems like a scam to me... I'm going to wait for info on the website

GDTSTOO

is legitimate. It's the descendant of Grateful Dead Ticket Service. They're handling the mail order, which is different from the presale.

PreSale Ticket Prices

Any word on ticket prices?

jdecker

I ahve been using GDTS sine the mid 1980's and never was shut out of a show, they are very legitimite, they have a new addy but Frankie is very good, we will miss Ruby for her love and service for us deadheads!!

looking for Jill Lesch

I am trying to help my boyfriend get a book published, with a fresh spin. He has taken hundreds of amzing photos of fans over the years - and has an impressive and interesting collection to share. We have been told that Jill is in charge of all things related to the band and mechandizing. We would like to get some official endorcement if possible - permission to use lyrics - and maybe even have it offered through the official website if possible. He's not looking to make a fortune on it - just feels it's time the photos got out there for others to appreciate. If anyone knows how to contact Jill, I would really appeciate it. I tried Google, but got no-where. And, if she is not the right person and there is someone else - that name and contact info would be equally appreciated. Thanks a lot! Carmen

hey Carmen

for permissions, licensing, etc., go to the Ice Nine Publishing site, www.iceninepublishing.com If you're looking for Jill personally, you'll probably have better luck on phillesh.net.

Pre - Sale for Jan 13

Can anyone tell me exactly what "pre-sale" is all about? Can anyone purchase tix at this time? I've searched for answers to this question and come up empty. The only thing I found is the GDTSTOO site which while legitimate looks like a vendor. Is that the only place to go through to get pre-sale tickets? Thanx.

Yeah whats the deal with the

pre sale

how does the pre sale work and what is the best way to purchase tickets. remember I am Canadian eh.

Try This

I think this will work for you....http://gdtstoo.com...from that page you can get all the venues and what GDTSTOO will be charging for tickets.......Hope this is not going to be the only option........Even tho this is what we did in tn\the old days...

Canada eh :)/

Just go to the GDTSTOO site and follow along with the instructions, they even have a u-tube video of the procedure. Lengthy process but like Marye said it's all good, tommorrow is the first day you can mail in, all the letters can not have a post mark before the 13. In the Great White North up here it takes 7 to 10 days by regular mail to reach Cali. So ya gotta send it by Priority post to get it there in time.

pre-sale

I created an account for the pre-sale, but saw nothing to get an access code - which some info says I need. It's hard to read parts of the instructions cause it's purple print on black background. How do I get an access code and how does the pre-sale work? Please tell me I don't have to go back to mail order and cashiers checks ; ) Help!!!

pre-sale Access Code

I'm also having concerns with the access code....I never got one, so I'm a little nervous....please HELP! Thanks ~kristel

GDTSOO site is DOWN

This is really frustrating! After waiting on the puter for hours, while the musictoday.com website was down, finally got on only to find all presale tix for the showz i needed were UNAVAILABLE. So, back to mail order, and their site is down too, as well as busy circuits on phone for them. I miss the days of yore! :)

No access code

I ordered tickets for D.C. and did not need an access code.

mail it to GDTS the old way,

mail it to GDTS the old way, less frustrating : )

Handicap seating with pre-order

Hi, I'm trying to purchase tickets to the May 7th show in Denver. I'm disabled, and I need handicap accessible seating. However, when ordering online, I'm unable to specify my seats. Do you know if there is any mechanism in place to order handicap accessible seating as a part of the pre-sale? Is there a phone number I can call?

I have a question

Does anyone know if the D.C. show will be an end stage or a center stage? When you look at the Verizon Center seating chart (from ticketsnow) it shows the center one first, but there is also a link for the end stage. Just curious. I'm going to show up either way!!

irish

I dunno, but I'm trying to find out.

Online Presale

Dudes, the online pre-sale was a fucking disaster. I played by the rules, took precious time off of work and by the time I was able to log into your system, all seats were sold out. WTF? I want a back stage for me and my lady for free and access to the piles of coke in the VIP room. Isn't there a more adult way to get a decent seat? JFC.

Any reason why

My two posts this morning got queued for moderation by the site administration? I assume a snafu...or my name has gotten onto a subversives list.

in short, gratefal...

only that the spam filter gets excited from time to time for no discernible reason. Many folks have had this experience; it does stop eventually. Meanwhile I'll try to get any snagged posts turned loose asap.

Relix

Hi All!! Been about all things Dead for a long while now...but new to the forum. Just wondering if anyone on here had any thoughts on the Relix magazine? I used to love the magazine back in the day when it had all the art work, fun articles, games and stuff. I gave up my subscription a couple years ago because it seemed I wasn't reading much of the material in it. Just wondering if they made any improvements or added any depth to it the last couple years. Thanks....Have a Grateful night!!

Thanks Marye

Still getting snagged this morning. I'll keep plugging away...

Chat Room

"Chat Room is open in another window" this means I did a bad joo joo and I was moderated, right. I restarted the cable connex, cleaned up the cookies, and whatever else i thought it could be on my end.......i miss my friends... Thanks for any suggestions.. Vairocana

this may help

in case you need a bit more info... I cannot acess chat and the message that appears is....SEE ABOVE

Vairo

If you're still having this problem send me a PM and we'll figure it out. I suspect some maintenance was happening and the chat room was down for a bit; seems to be working okay now. Speak up if the problem persists. Thanks!!

Ticket Sales experience on Tuesday Report

Hi, I just wanted to let someone in the Dead Administration know how terrible the online ticket sales service was from a Systems Administrators perspective. I have been working on computers for more than 15 years and with today's technology there is simply no reason an online order should take 45 minutes other than completely incompetent administrators or technical staff. Anyways I am certain that other heads that went the online route had similar gripes - but as someone that knows the tech - that was the worst experience online I have ever had. It needs to be fixed. Sincerely tmcguinness

Thanks Marye.
I tried Jonathan's suggestion and it didn't work - maybe I didn't do it correctly?
I can go back intime in any forum anywhere but I cant go back in my open Personal Messages.
Thanks for all of your help.

Birthday Coupon

Is this the right place to ask “what can I use the coupon for?” Today is my birthday (me & Mickey) & I received the yearly coupon email from Dead dot net. Went to try it on the new box set. No luck.
I figure maybe that’s because it’s a preorder, so I try the new Dave’s Picks. Also a no-go.
I checked the email & there are no restrictions listed, but I can’t get it to work on anything.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I am sincerely appreciative of the generosity, but it won’t do me any good if I can’t use it on anything in the store.

Thanks!

EDIT - I just now tried it with the MSG box (how is that still available?) and it worked there. So I’ll wait a week until the Summer ‘85 box is officially released & update then.

Have you tried logging out of your profile on dead dot net.... then X out of page completely and then get back on dead net and log back in? Hope that made sense....worth a shot
good luck

Private Messages

HI Marye.
Hope all is well..
So I'm trying to get back to some Private Messages from earlier this year - Late February through April/May or so. I can go back a page and see a summary of messages but when I click on any of them I get taken back to the most recent page of messages, not the page/message I clicked on. Any Ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

it was 40 years ago today

I and a pack of friends dosed to the gills were on our way to see Jerry and the band at the SunDome in Tampa. Quite the show and a floating roof made for good times. Saw many a band at the SunDome, always a great time.
