The Dead to Tour in Spring!

Forums

The band says Happy New Year with an announcement of almost twenty shows in April and May. More details to come!

Thats right we need an excuse for a new thread :-)

Wouldn't 2010 be their 45 year anniversary?? Hmmmm its all falling into place nicely, very nicely :-) Dang it just hit me - 45 years ... unbelievable isn't it?? "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

PLEEEEEZEEEE:):)

Announce a fall tour:):):) That would be the perfect end to a perfect year:):):)Peace- Moye

well...

you know darn well they are not going to make their touring decisions based on my desire for a new topic. However, in the interim, for your entreaties, suggestions, speculations, etc., please feel free to continue the discussion in the brand new 45 Years So Far... topic!

maybe this thread is now a prophecy

The Dead to tour in the spring...of 2010!!! Yay!!! It's official! The Dead is gonna tour in the Spring!! Gotta be 2010, right? JUST GOTTA BE! (here's wishful thinking anyway...)

damn right,I need something to do in 2010

Thinking about this spring,help pass a long and cold winter.And finding this site was a bonus. Peace Tina

dinosaurs

robert hunter used to be in a band called dinosaurs anyone wan to help start up a dinosaurs vine

dinosaurs!

I sure did spend a lot of time following that band around. Hunter was only with them for about a year, '84-'85, but it was pretty great.

Diiiiiiinoooooooooooo!!

Diiiiiiinoooooooooooo!! (Fred Flintstone voice) dinosaurs: check out this bad boy: http://www.archive.org/details/dinosaurs1982-08-13.aud.flac16 they even had Hart on cowbell. that is what we need, MORE cowbell.

cowbell

Haaa thats a riot! My buddy has a T-shirt that says "What We Need is More Cowbell"... "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

Wow, so 2010 will be 45 yrs!

Wow, so 2010 will be 45 yrs! Can't wait for the next tour. I'm glad that some things never change.

45 YEARS!!?? HOLY SHIT!

Thats a total mind trip! Great Idea: They should make some collectible 45's(vinyl) for the anniversary.....Get it? 45's?....45 years?....do ya get it? huh?.....never mind,go back to sleep,we're almost there.

Hot Tuner?????

I know alot of heads are into Hot Tuna...But I dont know ANYTHING about them, But they're playing right up the street from me for like 25 bucks in July....Are they worth checkin out? Is it Deadish type jam stuff or what?

yes and yes

to answer your 2 questions: yes and yes. it is a Tunafish kind of jam thing... this audio is 7/24/07

Hot tuna

I agree. They are definitely worth checking out. Especially for $25... "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

Tuna

I haven't seen Hot Tuna for 10 yrs or so, but I caught Jorma Kaukonen a couple of times last year doing his acoustic country blues thing. Very tasty, another old guy who doesn't appear to have lost a step.

Hot Tuna

Don't miss them. Jamming some, yes. But much of it will be awesome acoustic or electric blues. Hot Tuna is sometimes electric, sometimes acoustic and sometimes both in the same show. Water Song one of my favorites, have never tired of it. Jorma and Jack have been playing together now for over 50 years, since they were teenagers in the D.C. area in the 50's. IMHO the connection they have between themselves in guitar bass interaction is only matched by The Grateful Dead, the original ABB and current ABB. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Hot Tuna

Gratefultwinz, You should definetly check out Hot Tuna. Different from the Dead but much the same in some ways. They are very blues oriented. Go see them and let us know what you think!

gratefaldean

Did you see hot tuna with the other ones back in what 98 or so? They were awesome! "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

twinz

what they all said. You should definitely go. Those guys are awesome and never boring.

George........Gratefultwinzzz

DEFINATELY GO DUDE!!!!! Hot Tuna and Rusted root opened for the other ones on the further festival in 98....hey JAM man:):):) You gotta check it out.Peace- Moye

Jack & Jorma

Hot Tuna was the Airplane's engine. Fly Jefferson Airplane and get there.

Ah, the Airplane...

my other favourite psychedelic rock combo. Not a disappointment on those early albums. Hyper-space troopers. My fav clip is Saturday Afternoon at Woodstock - really captures the moment and never ceases to be powerful. "It's a time for growing, And a time for knowing love…" Moye: So true, Hot Tuna were super on that '98 Further Fest. Saw them in Toronto on Arlo's Birthday. Definitely a great band, not to be missed.

The airplane arriving into Portland left me deaf in left ear.

I live in Buffalo NY. Went to the Gorge. Cried after the show. Still asking myself what just happened! They sounded great! I saw people from 18 years ago in wheal chairs. I'm still processing the whole thing. Lets hope for another tour!!!!!!!!!

DSO

Goin to DSO sat night in Hampton Beach...Live Dead(sort of) for 25 bucks! I'll take it!!!! They still have Healy running sound? Anyone going? Beautiful week-end weather....2 shows(fri-sat)....Cold beer and Dancin' to Dead Tunes!!! Who dont like that?? GarciaThere!!!!!!

TWINZ.....

Enjoy my friend, catchin DSO over 4th of July weekend, then Ratdog on the 5th in Colombus...........GOOD TIMESPeace- Moye

DSO Hampton Beach!

Going to the Fri show, can't do the Sat one this time.So I figure I gotta party & dance extra on Fri to make up the differdance! Hope it's HIGH ENERGY, cause I'm already stoked and I still got 3 daze to go! This will suffice just fine though, and then ROTHBURY BABY....Now for that I am all giddy with anticipation! Fri DSO show is gonna help prime the pump, not that I think I can handle much more priming! GratefulTwinz, enjoy Saturday's show!

tuna

most DEFINITELY worth $25......caught them in seattle (yech) a few years ago in a joint called the firehouse or the engine house or sumpin' like that.the music was awesome but the venue was'nt. they charged us $25 for a one topping medium pizza. it was an ok pie but certainly not worth 25 bones.....so we ...uh......"liberated" the pan. i still have it and baked biscuits on it not 2 days ago.

DSO

Hey G we will be there...saturday is our anniversary..i always catch them when i can...i am surprised you didn't see them at lowell auditorium...

Johnman!!

Pie-Pan Pilcher!!!!! heeheehee

Noonie,Leshweir,Phatsy.....

Noon-Actually I did catch them at LMA just not last time but the time before and they did an "original" set and it was just "ok" and then they played again a year later(and I couldnt go!) and it was one of "Those" shows....I liked every song on the list (mostly ROCKERS) (including Cassidy!) and the reviews said it was Kick-Ass!!! oh well....Anyway,Were not going this time either....Turns out Amy has to work and we figured RatDog is only a month away at the same place and we've already got those ticks!!! Anyhoo..Happy Anniversary to you and wifey!!! LeshWeir,Have a great time friday bro...Hope they jam good for ya!! Phats..Im gonna send you a PM....Later ya'll!

Happy Anniversary, Noonie!

Have a good time in Hampton tomorrow night! Tempting, we've never seen DSO. Maybe next year. . . You'll have to report back!Will you be going to Ratdog in July?

Dead in Italy...when????

when dead for the first time in Italy? we wait for this year... bye from VESUVIO

NYE

Philzone counter just posted 179 days to next Phil with the Dead. New Years Eve!!!!!! Yahooooo!!!!!! Doesnt say where yet but my moneys on Oakland.Still hoping for a free gig in the park to close out the tour though. They gave New York a freebie to kick it off. How about it guys???

still going?

Just wondered if that post about new years means they will continue with the touring?? I missed Rothbury and am sick about it--I need to go to another--I cant swallow that was the Dead's last date! Any word out there on further dates? Everybody's dancin'......

one hell of a summer so farrrr........

Hey everybody:) Just want to say that this year has been one of the best years of my life... meeting new friends and hangin with old friends:) Would love to see the dead do something in the fall... Lets keep our fingers crossed X...Peace- Moye

right on Moye

2 weeks from today till Ratdog! Keepin em crossed for the fall. peace

New Year's lineup?

How about Mickey's Planet Drum, followed by Billy's BK3, followed by Phil Lesh &Friends, followed by Bob Weir and Ratdog, followed by The Dead? And everybody's dancin!

Whats next for the dead?

Well now that it's pretty clear we're not getting a Fall Tour has anybody heard anything for the future? It worries me everyday to think something could happen that would prevent me from seeing The Dead ever again. Since 2003 I gave seen every single show possible and am just happy to see anything new come up on the 'Tour' page. Unfortunately I was only 10 years old in '95 and had nobody to introduce me. But anyway hoping for a 2010 Tour or possibly a New Years Show or something west coast in the winter. If anybody has heard anything respectable let me know!! Bobby and Mickey wrote this year that if they keep it up a NEW Album in inevitable!

FURTHER

WOW.........Would love to hit the 3 shows in Cali.....John from DSO is playin with Bobby and Phil.....Thats gonna be a hell of a JAM.....Peace- Moye

well...

well well well

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.

Looking for a Dead historian...

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

folks

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.
