Scored some, but not enough. The ones I got are going to my family, I'm going to sit this out.

I've seen enough shows, my old, tired, back will thank me for staying home and watching the webcast, but I know I'll be hatin' it come July.

I got nothing today, and haven't got an email or my beautiful mail order letter back. I've had the flight and hotel booked since January, so I'll be there 1 way or another. cashortrade.org is a great place to look for tickets at face value, but there's an insane amount of people in search of. If any farmers managed to get an extra ticket, I'm looking, pm me and we can talk trades.

anyone know for sure if there will be a webcast?
On last Sunday's Tales from the Golden Road... DG and. GL said there are multiple groups in the hunt to do the webcast or PPV. David Gans and Gary L said they are hoping to get the gig to host the event. They are not sure who's going to be the winning bidder yet. So it is 90% gonna happen. The next tales from the Golden Road will be on tomorrow night on sirius XM.

A lot has changed, anybody remember camping out at Macy's lol?

I wish I could have caught a Dead show but it was before my time. Jerry died when i was 13. Fucking dumbass, OD'ing in rehab LOL.

Although I acknowledge their place in history, they were a bunch of fucking tools sent out to scramble the brains of thousands of people, probably working with intelligence agencies. How else would Jerry have gotten supplies of coke straight from Merck pharma?

It's like David Cross said, yea they're a family alright. My family charges 60 bucks to let me watch them dick around on guitar too.

I have a feeling LSD has done its job, there's no need for nostalgia about the Dead.

Do some research. They're no saints. Having an expanded consciousness don't mean you are a good person. And Phil is a crappy bassist lol.

So your saying you waited a full minute after the sale started to post your purchase request,......the frozen countdown clock should have been your first clue!?! All tickets were sold to people that requested them well before the first minute was up!

No man, what I am saying is that I did get tickets. You said the tickets sold out in 45 seconds, and I'm saying that couldn't have possibly been the case because my tickets were purchased well after 45 seconds from the on-sale time.

And although I'm saying now that I'm going to sit this out, I'll probably go for at least one night, after all we have tickets. Not a phish guy though, so I could really take it or leave it.

I've been planning to leave it since i heard it announced,.........so take that for what its worth. All i'm saying is that if you wern't in line at the start of the sale you had no chance,...it took people longer than one minute to close the transaction(but if you wern't at the front of that line when it opened you had no chance) and if you waited at all to post your request, you know what happened. You got shut out.

Having seen well over 300 shows with Jerry at the helm of the GRATEFUL DEAD, i have to say this is going to be a really sad way to end the 'core 4' experience,....when i think of all the work put into making sure the Heads had a good time and safe place to play in the past, Chicago looks very bleak indeed.

Don't judge what you have no idea about, having never been there or done that....Should not judge something you have no idea about and to call Jerry a dumbass shame on you....
Too bad you never saw a show, you would think different.
Our group, born and raised in Palo alto. Got on bus early 70s.
We were there for the music, which is what it was for us all about.
The good olddays we would never sell out for big bucks to see the show.
everyone was one big family and there were no fears at the shows.
We took care of each other and there was a whole lot of love.
Sadly all that isgone these days, it's 10 buck beers, parking lot parties, folks at show feel entitled to barge in front of you up front.
People selling this and that, not real.
would not go to this if you paid me...
I hope those that go really have a good time. I am content with the fond memories of how things used to be.
saw and felt a lot, tried and true....
Here's a night that entered my soul..Was there, will never forget...If this don't move you nothing will....
