Cornell University Police: Be on high alert for Deadheads!

While Deadheads are still extremely loyal to the offspring bands that have arisen from the remaining members of the legendary jam band over the years, Cornell University Police Sgt. Philip D. Mospa, must be stuck in the past because he has written a letter to students and building coordinators at the university, warning them to secure their buildings to keep out unwanted Heads visiting for Sunday's Furthur show.

The letter reads as follows:

This Sunday, February 14th there will be a concert hosted in Barton Hall featuring a band called Further. This band in part has members from the old Grateful Dead band and will certainly generate an active crowd of what are affectionately referred to as “Deadheads”. This fan base is very loyal to the Grateful Dead and their remaining members. We are confident that they will be showing up in large numbers as early as this Friday.

Our concern is that this particular group of fans will set up camp wherever they can and will certainly avail themselves to the warmth of any open building. Even if they do not have tickets to the venue, they will still come in the hopes of gaining access to the concert, and they will be seeking shelter from the elements over the weekend.

Please be extra vigilant in securing your buildings this Friday and throughout the weekend. If you have staff working in the buildings over the weekend, please request that they secure their areas and report any persons who look like they may not belong in their building to the Cornell Police at 255-1111 or if an emergency; 911.

This guy is obviously out of touch with the times. And while the show is sold-out and certainly people will show up without tickets, it is not as if Furthur will have the type of fan following that the good ol' Grateful Dead once garnered.

I think this guy needs to take a page out of the playbook of some of the towns and city's that have had successful visits from Deadheads over the years, and welcome them with open arms, instead of trying to turn it into a potential witch hunt. I wonder if a letter like this would have been released if per say Bruce Springsteen were performing. Still, it is hilarious to know that Deadheads continue to be viewed in this kind of light.

SIRIUS XM's Grateful Dead Channel to broadcast Furthur's Ithaca performance

Cornell University's Barton Hall, which hosted one of the Grateful Dead's most legendary shows in 1977, will once again play host to the band's music when Furthur comes to town on Sunday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.


Luckily, those of us who are too broke to attend or failed to get tickets on time will be able to listen to the concert live on SIRIUS XM's Grateful Dead Channel. The broadcast will begin at 6:30 p.m., with Dead experts David Gans and Gary Lambert leading Dead Heads through the highlights of the 1977 show. 


While it is disappointing for many of us Heads not to be in attendance, including myself, at least we will be able to enjoy the show live amongst a few friends who also had the misfortune of missing it. 

Got to love the Grateful Dead Channel!
