Nothing in there hinting about shows in Oakland and NYC before the Fare Thee Well shows...

I think Weir, Lesh, Hart, and Kreutzmann have earned the right to use the name. Just my opinion.

 

Thanks for the info. We will probably end up sticking with the Hilton unless we find a deal. This could get real expensive....

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to mail order for any night but one ticket price only?

 

Daves 13?

 

I think you should be answering questions, not asking them.

Where'd you get the image from?

 

ebay. It says it's a promo. Sold for $60.00 - which is almost the price of a subscription!

Here

 

I believe so; I think you can write "ANY" on everything along with the ticket price (eg: ANY DATE 2 GA PIT @$115.50) But please see below & don't necessarily listen to me...

Don't forget Robert Hunter - I'm kind of surprised that he hasn't been mentioned in connection with this.

 

Sometimes it seems like it was even more than 50 years ago:

 

Things I learned about U.S. Postal Service money orders, thanks to this ordering process:

1. You can pay for them with your credit/debit card.
2. There is a $1.25 processing fee for orders under $500.00.

Post office was a zoo. Many money orders being purchased. The guy behind me in line had driven over from the next town. Their post office was sold out of money orders.

 

Yes, when I bought mine the girl at the counter didn't know how to print them. She yelled into the back, "Can you come up here, we have another person who wants money orders!"

 

I got mine out too. Even in Morrisville, NC when I got to the counter & asked for 4 money orders, the guy said "Grateful Dead?" And there was someone in line behind me wearing a tie dye who I assume had the same thing in mind.

 

Wow, that's crazy! Demand must be much higher than I expected if random places around america are selling out of money orders, etc.

 

Mail Order in. I was the first orderer they had seen at my central NJ PO

 

This was in the suburbs just north of Chicago.

 

And I live in the Triangle area of NC. Raleigh/Cary/Durham/Chapel Hill is pretty heavy Dead country too...

 

Ugly cover, really ugly! Now, the date and the setlist...

 

Got mine in...9 money orders for 3 shows and an empty bank account

 

No. You can pay for them with a debit card. You cannot pay for them with a credit card.
