Grateful Dead Deadheads of Canada, Eh

Forums

It has been pointed out that in our haste to set up regional enclaves, we neglected our neighbor north of the border. We herewith remedy this sad oversight. Heads of Canada, this is your clubhouse!

Chris Hodgson, Kris10 & Lil Bri.....

love your comments! Canadian Dead songs....I've sent this link to my cuz in BC.....will tell him to join up......No, I don't speak or read French, but I can learn...........

rv's in Buffalo

Does anyone know if I can park an RV @ or near HSBC See you at the show

Je demeure à Montréal depuis 35 ans déjà. Je travaille à la Place des Arts (un complexe de 5 salles de spectacle) comme technicien de scène spécialisé en éclairage. Je suis entre autre chef-électrien en second à l'Opéra de MTL.J'espère qu'on pourra échanger des commentaires sur nos spectacles respectifs. A bientôt. Richard.

Small world...

C'est drôle Richard, car mon frère est chanteur d'Opéra et il travaillait avec l'atelier de l'Opéra de Mtl il y a 3 ans. Il a chanté plusieurs fois à la Place des Arts, plus récemment dans "Pearl Fishers" - son nom est Phillip Addis, baritone. Sa femme, Emily Hamper, accompagne les chanteurs au piano. Maintenant il voyage à qqpart de nouveau chaque mois, ce qui est un défi avec un enfant d'un an. J'aime ta carrière en éclairage. Je suis musicienne aussi, mais de la musique rock/reggae/funk, etc...

Pècheurs de perles

version très kitch (décor, costumes) appréciée des amateurs. J'espère rencontrer ton frère lors de son prochain passage à Montréal. As-tu des enregistrements de ta musique? On pourrait en faire un "vine".

Bonsoir Kirsten, j'ai lu sur "Dancin'" que tu as de très bonnes informations pour avoir beaucoup de plaisir cette fin-de-semaine à NY. Mon épouse Marjelaine et moi seront là aussi. Au plaisir de se rencontrer. Je te souhaite un miracle pour Uniondale. Nous en souhaitons un pour MSG. D'ici ce temps-là, essaie de dormir! ; )

Made it over the border.....

Crystal Journey has arrived in the United States for a 14 city tour along with seeing the Grateful "The" Dead 7 times in NY, NJ, DC, NC and VA. It was a very smooth and peaceful border crossing, a BIG smile from the pretty woman in the booth asking where we were going? to see the Grateful Dead I yelled with excitement. Photos and news will be updated as I have internet access. All Crystal Journey dates are on the performances page. Special FaceBook video on my fan page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/David-Hickey/36486326581?ref=ts David Hickey Paiste Gongs and Quartz Crystal Bowls Sound Journey www.crystaljourney.ca

MSG

Allo Kirsten, on en parle bientôt. Richard.

Wow!

Well,Buffalo April 21st, 2009 - I'll try to be brief. Wow! The show/my head space was perfect. I walked out of the hotel room only to be passed by a lovely lady with a basket full of brownies and cookies. Needless to say I had a great trip at the show. Incredible performace. So many highlights. Met many good people had many concerns washed away had many high moments thoughout the concert. Perhaps the best for me was sitting down overcome with joy and laughter through Eyes of the World while the entire arena took off and headed into space. Needless to say that does not happen at every concert I have ever been to. Anyway, the boys really lifted the spirit - they do that so well don't they. Anyway, already looking forward to next year's show (fingers crossed). Peace, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat P.S. Richard I took only 2 pics but do have some video, if I can find the time I'll try to post some. Hope you had a great show too! P.P.S. many of the performances from the buffalo show are on you tube.

Nassau and MSG

Hey Playin', got pics and videos from both. Lots of work, hope to be with you soon.Share the Love! Richard.

Buffalo

Had a great time as well. I met lots of Canadian Heads but not you guys, mabey next time. We had 6th row center and danced the whole night. Super easy border crossing at Fort Erie. Empty Tim Horton cups on board are never questioned. Its like a passport and a good spot for goodies !!!! hahahahah Later ...Chris

Made it back... safe and sound!

Salut Richard... hi everyone, well I'm still trying to come down from the wonderful adventure high - NYC and a Nassau 2nd set bonus after coming off the road 11h - MSG was something to behold... I'm happy to have shared it with the incredibly loud grooving crowd. A real treat. Some advice: when staying in NYC, the Chelsea Hotel is a must for any intrepid traveler. Richard: Je regrette de te manquer- c'est difficile de faire tout ce qu'on veut dans un groupe de 5. J'ai oublié comment ça traîne! Cependant, j'imagine que vous avez eu un weekend formidable. Il faudra se rencontrer un de ces jours. Rends-tu à Rothbury? For all you Can-heads - I hope you can make it down to Rothbury in Michigan for the 4th of July - we're gonna camp and jam our brains out.. Love, K

K

C'était effectivement formidable. Nous avons rencontré Monsieur Miracle à l'heure dite à Nassau. Le spectacle était très bon, malgré la fatigue d'une longue journée commencée à 5 heures du matin. Après une bonne nuit de sommeil, nous avons passé la journée à se promener à Union square, Canal Street et Little Italy avant de "participer" à un excellent spectacle le soir venu. ENCORE!J'espère que tu continueras de donner de tes nouvelles. A la prochaine, Richard.

Had much fun jamming along with a 77' version of Fire on the Mountain.. bum bum-bum ba-bum bum bum, bum bum-bum ba bumpa bumpa bumpa bum....

:)

I'm feeling the

I'm feeling the ((((LOVE)))) Thanks Playin You know our Amour will not fade away This is my first time participating in an online community and I really love how much fun you guys and gals all are. It's been a fun tour so far - looking forward to meeting some of you at Rothbury. I'll be flying a Canadian flag so we'll be visible - gotta come by and PARTAY!!!

Feeling the Amour and Rothbury thoughts....

Hi K (and all), This is also my first engagement in an online community. Flying the Canadian Flag - Wave that flag - excellent, (if we do make it - feeling pretty good about it - hope to be buying tickets tomorrow) I will keep an eye out for the flag and work my way to your group. Peace and smiles, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat

Some sadness at the missed good times

Well K and others going to Rothbury, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat, will not be joining in the festivities at Rothbury this year (and what a line-up), anyway it promises to be amazing, I would have loved to be there to hear and see Dylan play with the Dead (undoubtedly you will be treated to that). I would have loved to see the Yonder Mountain String Band, The Cheese String Incident, Gov't Mule and Willie Nelson and his band too, oh well we can't win em' all! I look forward (kind of) to reading the highlights at this forum....... :( Sincerely, Playin'

"You can't always get what you want..."

Aw, Playin, I know how sometimes we can't work it all out. Not so bad though, you did make it to SPRING TOUR 2009! I'll play some songs for you at Rothbury. Here's to all the friends we've made on the journey so far - peace and love! Keep posting. K

Gotta love how they always have fireworks on our birthday - set me up for a self-centred life for sure! Love, K

May 24 - how it works

Hi K, I've heard the May "2-4" holiday is always the Monday before the 24th (unless the 24th is itself a Monday). Playin'

Hey Kirsten, Playin' , Frenchdead et les frères et soeurs DH. J'ai finalement mis quelques photos de ma famille sur mon profil. Vous pourrai maintenant nous reconnaitre si vous nous croiser sur la (Shakedown) rue.Partageons l'AMOUR! Richard.

My grade 9 and 10 french

Hey Richard, It paid off. I could actually understand most of your message and a cool translation option turned it into this: Hey Kirsten, Playin', Frenchdead and brothers and sisters DH. I finally put some photographs of my family on my profile. You will be able to now recognize us if you to cross us on (Shakedown) the street. Let us share the LOVE! Richard. I did I like those pics especially the one of you and Marjelaine. (Her shirt is awesome too!) Thanks for sharing, I hope to do the same someday soon. Peace, Playing in the Tower with Eyes on Fire in El Paso with a Cat

message

Right on the spot, Playin'. On se reparle.bientôt.

oh, le bourdonnement... le vertige... ce printemps!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm still BUZZING from the shows I saw in April - they really kicked off a killer spring season for me - breaking from the routine and opening up many new possibilities. The magic is still with me and the friends I've met this spring are really solid. I'd like to thank you all in this forum for being present, kind and sparklingly-fun. I really hope to meet you someday soon. Lake Huron and Montreal aren't really that far away.... May the magic and power of this springtime bring renewed energy to all your adventures. Love, K

Hey now

J'arrive du travail. Content d'avoir des nouvelles. Je n'écoute que des cd de la tournée dans mon auto. Je suis toujours sur le "buzz" du mois d'avril. Si tu passe dans le coin, ne te gène surtout pas pour me contacter.Share the LOVE! Richard.

Hi there! Any Canadian Dead…

Hi there! Any Canadian Dead Heads around? I’m a huge fan - I never got to see them unfortunately (other than Dead and Co.) but they are about all I listen to right now.

I’m in Mississauga and would love to connect! Chris

Hi, Mary, and all the music lovers up here. Once again, the Dead will lure us away from our national holiday to go dancing south of the border. I hope to meet some of you at Yasgur's farm near Bethel Woods on July 1st!

WeAre Here And Everywhere Marye!!!!

Hey Now fella Northern headz!!!! I hail from and returned to the beautiful city of Montreal. It served as a great launching point for many Northern (Hamilton) and Northeastern (Albany Boston Buffalo) launching point for 10 known illustrious shows starting on 3.24.91 at the ripe age of 15 and sadly ending on 6.15.95. How I miss those days, everyday! But thank goodness for the internet and it’s endless golden nuggets of bliss!!! I had to take out an ad in the back of relix to trade tapes and now have thousands of hours of sbds and YouTube to keep me content, which I always have been! My intake is just more than ever. Of some things not others.... one love
