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...

come on down!

HeyNow Everybody!!!

Im so pumped-Havent hung with this dude in like 15 years! Anyone else wanna go? its Sat.Nov.21st/Lowell Memorial Aud.-----Place will be ROCKIN!!!!!!

(ATTN:St.Steven Mtvch)Summer Grateful....Some are Dead!

Thanks, Twinz. I'm a little bummed, I haven't been to a show in like 14 years and I wanted the next one I see to be summertime.....chill parking lot scene.....lawn seats......you know, the *perfect* scene! Then I saw the boys are playing the Allstate Arena by me.....UGH! That place is a barn with horrible acoustics overall pretty opressive....exactly what I DIDN'T want my return-show to be! So I skipped out on this one cuz it seemed like they were gearing up for a summer tour. I'm hoping i'll be able to catch em at Rothbury in July. Perhaps I'll catch the fall tour, even IF it's indoors :-\",0"

I suppose it says something that wrinkle cream is now considered an indispensable tour accoutrement. Wrinkle cream spam deleted...

Well

This thread is pretty old, but I don't know if it's old enough to need wrinkle cream. Besides, wouldn't that just make our monitors look all streaky? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

New to Forums

Hey now! New to the forums, but long to the vibe! We're traveling from DC/VA to CA for this summer's Mountain Air Fest!! Curious to know from other's who have been to this location- the Calaveras County Fairgrounds/Angel's Camp....should we expect it to be as large and as well outfitted as our (east-coast) All Good Festival, for example? Car camping probable if one arrives early? Bountiful food vendors, so as not to worry about cooking? Port-a-johns and pay-showers available? Kind friends? Mellow/safe vibe, despite the huge turnout? We'd love to know as much as we can so we can be well prepared to party! Thanks! ...and see ya'll west-coasters out east for the remainder of the Spring shows!
