Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

lets hope this turns in to a full blowin tour for winter 09/10. peace out loaves and fishes,dont give up dont ever give up!

Bring It!

Finally .....WOW......can't wait. Wish John was on the DEAD's Summer tour......better late then never. "One man gathers what another man spills"

Wow this is awesome!!!

Yippee! The bus is comin' by again!

I liked the Warren shows just fine but I did find myself wishing John was up there from time to time because he brings the emotion lotion to lube things up good and he certainly knows how to take the jam to into a race around the sun... Can only hope they do wayyyyyyyyyy more shows!!! Farrell Timlake president, Homegrown Video timlake@homegrownvideo.com

We are the further bus family from Albany , Thank you for having our van in your band videos from the tour.Please guys let the bus ride on once more.We love you!!!!!And we will be sure to show up with the bus for ya!!!! Peace!!!!!

What a way to close Giants Stadium! A couple cool nights in NJ.

AkDeadHead Would be nice to see but a long way to go for me. Maybe a whole fall tour with a few shows up in Alaska , it's been almost 30 years guys . North to the future !!! Howard Mermelstein #7 Shakedown Street Manley Hot Springs, Alaska 99756

I'm hoping for them to travel Furthur Eastward...

As a post-Jerry Deadhead this was my wish from the get-go!!!!my subliminal voice was heard!!!!! early prediction: John will be on lead for 'The Dead' from now on. Jerry's gone but we can always get as close as possible to what started all of this....I personally think Stu Allen (JGB) would be a better choice but they're both great...John taps into the early Jerry vocals and Stu absolutely nails the late Jerry vocals (which I personally prefer)...now just bring the Further Tour to Texas and I'll be a happy Head!!! Thanks guys...this *really* is a dream come true. I bet John's feeling great! "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

I'm still pinching myself. This is the greatest news we've heard in just over 14 years. John certainly has the ability to fill Garcia's shoes better than anyone breathing. Let's all celebrate the return of Grateful Dead for many years to come, fingers crossed.

I'd love to see that show.... Hope you guys make it up to Portland for a show!!!! cheers, Woody www.myspace.com/woodyinthebasement

hope they bring this out east!!

This is great news... this time they are doing it right. Starting in SF...... Instead of State college.... Warren is great... Just not DEAD GREAT...... john is going to bring back the penatonics

Go..Go...GO!!! Is that my thumb? Can you see it? Understand me?

I think it is cool that Kadlecik is joining up for a few nights but personally I like hearing someone with their own style than someone who is trying to imitate Jerry. There I said it! "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."

John Kadlecik has his own voice and it is sweet! I cant wait to see this show...come east boys! The music never stopped They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band

how about just a little "furthur" north....seattle, tacoma, portland.......spokane?

I can't believe how painless that was through Music Today! 2 GA for Fri/Sat! So psyched!

"It's a work in progress." - Bob Weir See you at the Fox in Oaktown! @;- Johnny "Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride."

OK...Mr. Dark Star Orchestra himself on Gits...a guy who can channel Jerry throughout the years. It is what it is but all I have to say is...PLEASE TOUR!!! And please come near Omaha!!! (although I know I'll be traveling for that one)Should be a lot of fun!!!

Call up that owner of the Colts and get Tiger out!!!! Might as well do it proper...

mailed my envelopes this morning. can't wait! I agree with Johnman, hult center- crystal ballroom/schnitzer - paramount-moore, new fox---------NW tour!!!!I am so excited to see John K (love DSO) in the mix and Russo too.

jackstrawfromco on this topic. Kadlecik's guitarwork from DSO has not proven to be to be transportive. It is my hope that playing with Phil & Bob (as well as Jeff & Joe) can make it be so, for all who are lucky enough to hear this new group go "further". My multiple DSO show experiences did not evidence that experiemental edge being pushed as was so often the case with Jerry and the boys. But I am so glad that these guys will take to the road to prove me wrong and to inspire the masses. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

thank you god! witout love and a dream it would never come true!

oh yea, come to the east!

I have to say that I have seen John do fabulous and mind blowing guitar work with DSO and he definitely sings well with a clear grip on the emotional tenor of the Hunter/Garcia lyrics/tunes. I have been hoping for this bond to be made for quite some time and getting tix for all three nights means an excellent opportunity to find out first hand whether or not those callouses on my crossed fingers and toes were worthwhile... "The bus came by and I got on..." Farrell Timlake president, Homegrown Video timlake@homegrownvideo.com

I've never seen/hear DSO (HATE tribute bands) so I'm not qualified to say anything about dude's guitar playing, but this strikes me the same way that Judas Priest and Yes hiring frontmen from tribute bands struck me: kind of cheesy and a bit of a cash grab. Maybe this band will kick ass and soar to new heights, but hiring a guy who's made a living trying to reproduce someone else's playing strikes me as a step back in terms of creativity and exploration. I would be much more excited if I read that they'd hired some kid I never heard of who loved and respected JG's playing, but used that as a stepping stone to do his/her own thing, something unique (kind of like what JG did with his influences, if y'know what I mean)--something tough to do when you're recreating old GD concerts song-for-song 150 nights a year. Jerry cast a pretty wide shadow, and the country is full of wonderful young musicians who have eaten his stuff up and gone on to develop their own voice as players. I'd love to see that guy/girl get the break of a lifetime. I wonder if there's a pair of conspicuous-by-their-absence drummers who wouldn't agree with me....but that's just mindless conjecture.

Roundtrip plane ticket SLC-OAK 224 Dollars3 nights at the Waterfront Hotel 335 Dollars 3 tickets from GDTS-TOO 162 Dollars To see Bobby and Phil play 3 more nights PRICELESS!!!!

"I've never seen/hear DSO (HATE tribute bands)" .....perhaps you should check em out (you may be pleasantly surprised) "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

no Warren....thank God!!!

And just when i thought I could start recouping my savings account... : ) OH WELL... The spring tour was worth every penny spent, and this will be as well assuming they head out East! FANTASTIC news for sure. John unreal... if you haven't seen him or heard him perform, you're in for a SERIOUS treat. YEE HA!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ "Night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day"

going to be the biggest incarnation of Dead since Jerry's passing...you heard it hear first...It is time for the torchbearer to grab the torch and lead us into the unknown."In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

Hey now! How 'bout some of that Furthur stuff in NYC for the 2009 Philathon?

I think this'll be sweet and I'm geeked and please bring it to the D... but where them drummers be?? 'Specially the K?

Maybeeee but like a couple of folks have already said, you HAVE to also have Billy and Mickey to even think about calling it an incarnation.. I really enjoyed the spring Dead tour and really thought that by the time Rothbury hit they were firing on all cylinders (I thought at times they sounded better than they did for a lot of shows between 93-95 and definitely better than 03-04). But they have always loved to explore new things and so I think the Furthur line up is a cool experiment and I am happy for the Kadlecik fans out there who have wanted this. I was personally more excited for the spring tour but hey as long as Weir and Lesh are out their singing and playing it's a grate thing regardless of who else is playing with them! "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."

an elephant!!

the boys don't ever play enough bay area shows, which is ironic as they just about all live here. I think it's great that they are doing the three fox theater shows in oakland, but I'd like to ask just one thing: WHY are they playing the tiny fox theater that only holds 3800 instead of a larger place, like henry j. kaiser center, or even for one concert at oakland arena so that ALL of us who want to hear the music can????? those 3 fox theater shows sold out in less than a day. It's quite a disservice to us fans who wait and wait for a bay area appearance. sure they do the occasional charity show here, but almost always it's a very high priced ticket.

Checking today I only found available tickets for the Sunday show at the Fox and getting up there and back down to LA for work Monday AM just too tough. Hope we see some more dates. Terry Howl At The Moon Gifts North Hollywood, CA http://www.howlatthemoongifts.etsy.com/

the Henry J is essentially closed for the moment. Long story. The Fox, on the other hand, is the newly reopened showcase, so I think there's a cool-venue element here. And the tix are half the price we paid for Shoreline. And it's almost walking distance from my house...

WOW! The band line up sounds great!!!

is going to be a really BIG thing. "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

I agree The Fox in Oakland is a good venue its close to Santa Rosa,Calif. so its ideal,I wish they could play at our Wells Fargo Center for the Arts,the Acoustics are good its like the Warfield but its newer,its really close to most major cities in our San Francisco bay area,well 53-55 miles north,but Santa Rosa needs some Vitamin {D} Dead and /or dead related happenings besides our health and harmony which feels watered down and way to expensive,I'm done said my peace :} Larry the Deadhead

now for the ever present MOA!! (mail order anxiety)

That would be busted karma babbles the kid! Zane had the best tricycle ever. Furthur training wheels required? Send him back to Kessler Field 81. The devil wears a blushing rose still. Nelson rode home in circles around your roof FRIEND! JACK GETS THE LAST LAUGH........

It is with great honor, enchantment and delight that, I, commend the commencement of the creation of FURTHER! Comprised of the delicious musical abilities of: Mr. Joe Russo Mr. John Kadlecik Mr. Jay Lane Mr. Jeff Chimenti MR. PHIL LESH AND MR. BOB WEIR (sigh) Here's a musical celebration no one in the family will want to miss! OMG! It is my wish for you that these musicians and their music deliver you to your subconsciousness... or to the part of your mind which you are not fully aware of but that which influences one's actions and feelings. It is possible ~ I know it and wish it for you. Whether or not that's the's bands' goal is up to them, but I still wish it for you. A place where you can find cosmic elations, truth and real love. Hey now, I just found the bright side of the road...AGAIN! Awww Shucks you guys! I can't wait to go a little FURTHER...woo hoo! ALL ABOARD going FURTHER! ------------{-------@ ------------{-------@ ------------{--------@ ------------{--------@ -------------{--------@ -------------{---------@ all I want to know... ...won't you come "TO" me? Signed smiling, xoxox SherBear

I wish I could be there and I hope this is just the beginning!

kidnap the band and spirit them to tacoma...they can play stadium bowl or even my backyard.

I love the little Bay Area shows, they are always a blast. You cant slack on getting tickets, these will be gone fast. This would be a great New Years show line-up. Larry the deadhead- Make sure to get these days off and I'm going to kidnap you for the JGB show this weekend....haha....Jason said he's going too.
