Tough luck Spiffy. I am happy as a clam because I just scored two tickets for 7-7 and two tickets for 7-8 at RED ROCKS!!!!! I can't wait! Any Shroomerites want to try and meet up? Rosewoodpete? Chinacat? After reading about all your thumb print experiences I just want to shake your hand. Anybody know of any good camp sites around there?

Here's another update to the Dead's touring schedule:
Aug. 9th-10th-- Bonnaroo NE, Riverhead, NY
I don't think I'll be able to make it to this one but that show is looking pretty great. I can't believe the lineup. Looks like they won't be making it to Alpine this summer. But I'm going to Red Rocks so I can't complain.

Nice Adom! Aside from July 7 and 8 I might also try to go to Somerset on Aug 3. We'll have to meet up for sure at Red Rocks. I haven't decided who I'm taking with me yet since I got two pairs of tickets. Do you know where you're gonna camp at all? I have to start looking into that.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR RED ROCKS!!!!

I've heard that a lot of the older heads are staying in local hotels. so i might be swinging for that as far as where i am staying. if you are interested a bunch of us can bunk up together to cut costs. i don't mind sleeping on the floor.

Us old farts like to camp at the Marriot West. After a night at Red Rocks my spine needs a bed.
In 87 they let us camp in the lot. It was great. I can guarentee that they won't be allowing that this time around. They didn't let the Dead come back because of that. The had never had a concert before were it was over and the fans didn't leave. Other bands they would play and then it would be over and people would finally leave after awhile. It didn't dawn on them that with the Dead playing 3 nights we would make there parking lot are home.

I wish we could camp in the lot. That would be perfect. I'm sure I can find a place to camp nearby if I do a little research. Anyways, they just announced their last two dates for the summer tour. This should make people in the southeast happy:
July 29th-- Office Depot Center, Sunrise (Ft Laud), FL July 31st-- Hi Fi Buys Amphitheater, Atlanta, GA

Yep!!! About 3 miles from my house is the Office depot Arena in beautiful Sunrise Florida. The Dead, Bob Dylan and His Band and special guest star, Robert Hunter!!! How much luckier can a man get that has never seen the Dead, Grateful or any other, plus Dylan> With Robert Hunter to boot. I'm psyched. 
7/29 at 6 PM, tickets go on sale tomorrow morning at 10AM. Bet ya there'll be a line! At least I don't have to deal with Ticketmaster.

Wow! Ive never been to a concert before, but Im already going to get tickets for Phish and The Dead coming to GA.
Can anyone tell me what to expect? I mainly wanna go for the good vibes , the thought of a bunch of people sharing similiar feelings all together and listening to music just puts a smile on my face!
I'm also curious as to what to expect as far as the Age group, the type of people that generaly go, the experience, etc.
Is it something cool for all ages really?

You're in store for a really good time. Overall, expect good vibes at both shows, especially the Dead. You'll find that there are a lot more younger people at the Phish show. I'd say the average age is somewhere in the early 20s. Of course there are alwaysmuch older people that attend Phish shows but they are few and far between. As for the Dead, expect more of a mixed age group. There'll be lots of people new to the scene and lots of elders that have been there since the beginning. Get to both shows early because the parking lot will be booming with people socializing, selling stuff and just hanging out. I hope your first concert experience is a good one. Be sure to post about your first Dead experience in this thread! I'll be interested in hearing about it.

Damn...I wanted so bad to get tix for the show at Merriweather but they sold out snap quick. Damnit!!!! Maybe I'll go to the show anyway and hope some nice Deadhead takes pity on me and gives me a ticket. That would be awesome!
Hey uh Spiffy, I just got two tickets to Merriweather off of ticketmaster like five minutes ago. They aren't sold out yet.

you dead heads and such tend to know shit, so let me ask a question.
What is the best way to get to Deer Creek from the north? I am close to both 31 and 29.
Why not ask yahoo?
yahoo + the indianapolis area = shitty directions.

Ticketbastard sells tickets in sections of the venue or alotments of general admission in attempt to reduce scalpers and scamers. It is a good idea to check every day untill the show if you really want to go, that is how I scored Phish tickets this past Febuary for the show in Denver 4 days before showtime.

I'm definitly camping unless I can't find a spot. I still don't know who is going with me and I didn't expect this problem, I need the $$ for the ticket so I can get my camping space, or I have to wait for next weekend and risk them selling out.

Adom, I'm in the same exact position as you. I want to reserve a space at Chief Hosa but I don't know who I'm going with yet. And I need to get money for the tickets, from whoever decides to go with me, so that I have money to reserve a space to camp. I hope camping spots don't fill up too quickly.
