Fans are encouraged to vote by June 1st using the Road to the Vibes App and the winner will be announced in early June.
“Gathering of the Vibes celebrates the way music allows us to share that which goes beyond words,” explained festival founder Ken Hays. “Right now there’s a convergence of jam bands, electronica, and rock and roll – bridging the generations and truly making this a festival with something for everyone.”
Gathering of the Vibes is an all ages, family friendly event, offering an exclusive Family Camping area, Kids Corner, Teen Scene including interactive programing and a “School of Rock Teen Vibes Stage,” featuring musical instruction and jam sessions with Main Stage artists.
Single day and Weekend VIP ticket holders enjoy added perks: expedited entry and rock-star parking with easy in/out access, shaded camping areas along with catered meals, snacks and beverages, air conditioned bathroom trailers, and hot showers. Located stage left on the concert field, the massive VIP hospitality tent and viewing platforms offer exceptional stage sightlines and the opportunity to mix and mingle with artists.

Discounted hotel accommodations at Vibes preferred hotels are available here.

Yes, as many of you may have guessed, DHL was just kidding yesterday with this story: DEADHEADLAND.com Sold In420million Media Takeover
Truthfully… the deal was closer to 500 Million and it was Universal, not Fox. 😀
Yesterday marked the 3rd anniversary of DeadHeadLand as an online music publication. That is no Joke. DeadHeadLand began in the early 90’s in the Wiltern Theatre parking lot, during a Jerry Garcia run. Jerry played a couple shows, took a day off, then came back to play three more. Someone told us they ran into Jerry (pushing a baby carriage!) at Disneyland on the day off… we believed the story, I mean Jerry had a little one at the time, and what do you do with a day off while visiting the L.A. area? Take the kid to Disneyland! We laughed and joked about it, and the Deadheadland concept was born… over the years it evolved, and Happycat’s online activities increased… The domain was registered in the late 90’s… at one point I lost the registration, and a broker firm snagged it and tried to sell it back to me for, get this, $420! That’s for real/ I opted not to buy it. and a year later, they let it go and I registered it! I played with a variety of formats, and in 2007 and 2008 I was actively sending show updates to my friends via text and email. Eventually the ideas merged, and I invented Twitter and Facebook… ok, I didn’t invent them, but I did figure out how to use these services, and the rest, shall we say, is history… in the making!’
On April1 2009, I had the idea to do a prank, and I used the Deadheadland domain for the prank, so my first post in the current format was thus: The Dead Try Out For American Idol
With this follow up: The Truth About The Dead on American Idol
In Early April 2009, a few days before The Dead began their Spring Tour I woke up with an obsessed fever… didn’t know what I was going for, but I had to go for it for sure… I started building more on to the Deadheadland theme park, and the site became a place I could track the tour, and post setlists, pictures, etc.. The Dead April 12 2009 and the following posts included setlists, pictures, links, and sometimes a PHAKECAST (not the show streamed, but incredible stimulations recreating the setlists from found youtube videos). I continued following that tour, and setlisting everything IN REAL TIME on Twitter and Facebook – and at the shows that I personally went too, I included live pictures and shot some videos too.
I continued, tracking The Dead, including their last show at the Rothbury Festival, some RatDog, even a little DSO, Phish and Springsteen at Bonaroo, and more!
Then in September 2009, Furthur debuted… and DHL has tracked every Furthur Show ever since.
In 2010, I had a great April Fool’s prank planned, though it never saw the light of publication…. so one day, I’ll launch that joke!
In 2011, I had another prank, The Cast of Glee to do the songs of Hunter and Garcia <- this one worked so well, it convinced the Glee fans!
Anyway, thanks for playing, and now the real truth: Setlisting while dancing? Who would believe that! LOL – if you’ve ever been to a show near me, sometimes I am juggling two smart phones and a camera, uploading pictures, shooting a video, texting the setlist, and dancing and singing a long. I could use another arm sometimes! But I am loving it, this is so fun for me, I am very tuned into the music, and I love to share it with all the other people who follow along, and can;t be at every show, though we all wish we were…
Deadheadland – it takes all I got, juts to stay on the beat!
There are many new rides being built… we ain’t even begun!
Thanks for coming along and enjoying the rides! If you love what DHL is and does, maybe consider a contribution to help support DHL’s work and research?
Whether you contribute or not…. SO GLAD YOU MADE IT!

The band played one set in a festival format. Fun night with costumed dancing girls and Bill Kreutzmann sitting in later that night with Railroad Earth for 2 songs. The band hung around to see George Porter Jr. perform with the Funky Meters. Enjoyed hearing the band play and talk about days gone by. The debut album is fantastic if you don’t know that by now!
Someone asked Bill what drums he brought to play that night. I didn’t bring anything. I think he used Peter Lavezolli’s kit. Did you bring your own cymbals? No, but you can’t blame the equipment anyway. You got to make it happen. That was the closest I have ever been to see him play. He amazed me several times by his ability to reach out and add some sounds at the right moments.
