Go hijack a Springsteen thread. Leave this one alone.
Thanks, Strawberry! Great stuff!

Yeah, psyched that were getting more east coast dates come summer! I think the chances are better it won't be over 100 degrees when they play Philly this time. If your not aware of it already, I highly recommend signing up for the Tamalpais Research Institute e-mail list. http://www.tristudios.com/ You have to register but it's really easy. They periodically do free webcasts and the one last month with the reunion of Ratdog was great. The quality of the feed is amazing. They are doing one March 24th with Bobby and members of The National.
27 announced show dates through the spring and summer. 13 of them in NY, philly, Bethel and Wallingford. NICE!!!

I signed up a month ago. The Ratdog live concert was a blast.
Anybody else get presale tickets today? I got Philly & the Saturday Brooklyn show, which are the two I definitely wanted. I'll see about Bethel and the Friday Brooklyn show when they go to general onsale.
Haven't bought Brooklyn yet but I'll be there both nights! I have 3 nights at the Beacon. I think Tues, Thurs and Tues..

Hey kismet, That Cassidy is awesome. Is there any way to download that onto an Ipod? I would love to be able to play that on the beach at Stony's this summer.

awesome!
Last night I saw a video that might resonate with any deadhead. It features a Dead concert and some wonderful images of the power of music to touch and bring back memory. I'm returning it to the Maplewood Library tomorrow.
Trailer here:

"The Music Never Stopped," based on the case study "The Last Hippie" by Dr. Oliver Sacks, M.D. ("Awakenings"), chronicles the journey of a father and son adjusting to cerebral trauma and a lifetime of missed opportunities. Through the music that embodied the generation gap of the 1960s, the film weaves the heartwarming progress of Henry and Gabriel's relationship.
In 1967, after his father Henry Sawyer (J.K. Simmons) forbids him to see a Grateful Dead concert, prodigal son Gabriel Sawyer (Lou Taylor Pucci) runs away from home. Nearly twenty years later, Henry, a straight-laced engineer and lover of big band music, is shocked to learn that his estranged son requires major surgery to remove a previously neglected brain tumor.
After the operation, the extent of Gabriel's condition is made clear: the tumor damaged the part of his brain that facilitates the creation of new memories. For Gabriel, past, present, and future become indistinguishable, and he lives fixed in the era of Vietnam, acid trips, and psychedelic music. Determined not to let their son slip away from them again, Henry and wife Helen (Cara Seymour) vow to connect with Gabriel, who is barely able to communicate effectively. Unhappy with Gabriel's lack of progress, Henry does his own research on brain injuries, which leads him to Dr. Dianne Daly (Julia Ormond). She is a music therapist who has used her methods to make significant progress with victims of brain tumors.
As Diane works with Gabriel, she realizes that he is most responsive to the music of the Rock and Roll era - The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and particularly the Grateful Dead. Even though he is unaware that the era of his music has long passed, the effect is remarkable, and he begins to be able to have conversations and express himself. Although Henry loathes rock and roll, he is determined to forge new memories and salvage his relationship with his son. While his own health fails, Henry begins his own pilgrimage through the bands of the sixties. As he learns the songs that animate his son's soul, he indeed begins to form an unusual but emotionally vibrant bond with the child he thought he had lost.

Here's Phil playing with Jersey's own Railroad Earth last night in San Francisco.
2 friends & I during a workout Tuesday commented on how great it would be to have tickets to a real GD concert outdoors this summer as we are veterans of many. Could he have picked up scuba diving a little earlier ? As St Stephen was pumping through all 4.
