"Early this morning, Tuesday, December 5th, John Mayer was admitted into the hospital for emergency appendectomy forcing the Dead & Company December 5th concert in New Orleans to be postponed."

Isn't the appendix where the soul resides? Could spell bad news for deadco

Oh come on, there has got to be some half assed  fake jerry hack they can prop up there while John heals. What happened to the show must go on?

(((Healing vibes)))

He's worse than Morrissey.

This is a sign from God that I should not see Mayer perform this music.

Damn! Get well soon, JM....

(appendix) BUSTED, DOWN ON BOURBON STREET!

I hope he’s ok 

Should Justin Bieber fill in?  Might be an improvement. 

Touch of Grey opener confirmed both for his first show back and the NOLA makeup show

That's it for the other one. At least a week to recover. 

They're down south, call Herring. 

John Kadlecik could step right in for a show or two until Mayer is ready.

GET WELL JOHN YOU KNOW OUR LOVE WILL NOT FADE AWAY 

wow dude look like my friend chris...but he doesn't have those tat sleeves..

Whisky in the Jar > Appendix in a Jar > Sample in a Jar.

I've been stuck in much worse cities but we were looking forward to music tonight. Dead Co just an extra excuse to visit nola.

 

"emergency appendectomy"

Sure, the old "emergency appendectomy" excuse!

I’m hearing that the rest of the tour may be canceled which is awful news especially for the promoters who have put so much work in. Maybe they can find a stand in for John? Shitty idea but you never know. 

>> stand in for John?

Phil Lesh on that red strat.

I don’t think Phil and the drummers get along :(

Well, the Drummers want their paycheck, so principles will be tossed out the window...

even better:

The word is being put out looking for a donor for John’s new appendix. Apparently his blood is type “O” so anyone who matches that can be a donor. 

Where's Cody when you need an organ

Sless plays lead and Oteil sings. Problem solved!

I’m hearing that the rest of the tour may be canceled which is awful news especially for the promoters who have put so much work in.

I'm hearing the same thing. Supposedly close to 60% of the ticket holders want their money back if John isn't playing. After all, the tour has been billed as John Mayer and some guys who are almost dead. 

Mikey’s hoping he doesn’t get the appendix of a jerk, and dreading the donor raps at Dead Co shows.

How will this affect the wooks $3k go fund me!?

Hello, our names are Michael And Kayla, we have been doing Dead and Co tour for awhile now, we always hear and see about the MESS left behind at shows, we have come up with a plan to raise money for trash barrels, trash bags, gloves, and disposal. Michael and Kayla will bring the supplies to each show, and actively seek volunteers, if volunteers cant be utilized, we will pay 5$ per FULL bag of trash brought back to us at the end of the night, otherwise wel clean it ourselves, if we all pitch in a small amount it will look VERY good on us, it will help cities appreciate our business more, and of course its respecting mother earth.
#Endthemess
Michael is well known in the gem and mineral community aswell as the Grateful Dead network. He will do what he says he will

Kayla is going through her dreadie phase. Hang in there, Dad!

I had a gut feeling about this.

People gave them $100.  A sucker born every minute.

Also, doing Dead Co tour.  

 

lol

Hope he heals well and swiftly.

Michael and Kayla should volunteer for Reverb.Org.

Hope JM heals quickly. 

florida gets no shows...sux for all the retirees that were gonna go...

 

summer tour announcement soon   , im sure, ..why stop when you can gauge ppl for 150+ for a ticket...

Michael is well known in the gem and mineral community as well as the Grateful Dead network.<<

 

Will Whitey vouch for him?

one thing for sure about Michael, HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL

i think that’s a Led Zeppelin saying 

Why do you care what they charge for a ticket jambone? 

Do you go to shows?

lol jamjuice :)

Anyone know where the rest of the band members might be popping in tonight? Now sitting at Nola in Nola. 

Howling wolf

gofundme is an interesting website.

Howling wolf is sold out as far as we can tell. Sounds like fun though. I was psyched for music tonight. I know there are a lot of dead and co and Mayer haters but I did like the msg run. Was up tempo, non bobby time and rockin'

 

Deadcoheads only leave footprints.

 

Sammy Hagar would be an interesting replacement.

Find Papa Mali. 

He posted this last weekend on Facebook, looking a little green to me....

another original thought, hoop...

 

ya, ive gone to every show....that ever was....pay attention

I love original thoughts. 

 

If anyone has a low down on nola music tonight let me know. I will gladly buy you a drink on a Tuesday for info today. (my friend loves Johnny boy, she cried earlier) I laughed at the initial meltdown.

 

I think he's pretty good too

Looks like there's a "Dead Superjam" coming at the Howlin' Wolf: http://www.thehowlinwolf.com/buy-tickets.html

I'd assume many D&C members will be there

EDIT - D'oh, didn't see it's already been discussed. Maybe worth trying for tix at the door?

Go to Maple Leaf, its tuesday after all. Rebirth should be in their element, and that is where I would be actually.

Just looked and yes it Rebirth. Go and thank me later.

Rebirth @ the Leaf is a good call.

The other option is Alvin Youngblood Hart @ Chickie Wah Wah.   

That said, I would head to the Howling Wolf at some point tonight.  That show will go LATE and they will start selling tickets at the door.

I wonder what hospital Mayer ended up at? LSU runs the trauma center (used to be Charity until Katrina, now University Hospital). Tulane, well Tulane sucks IMO. Private? I worked at Charity from '94 to '97. We would close an OR whenever the president was in town just in case. Saw lots of crazy stuff there but I would not want to be a patient there...

We just got to chicken Wah Wah. Thanks Idelb for the rundown. Would live to wind up at Howling Wolf. It we don't have an in and buddy said sold out.

 

PS- ran into some wooks 3 hours ago that were heading to the shoo, they didn't get the busted appendix info. They were super pissed. They actually had no tickets. Crazy 

Last Thursday night we went to Lucky Star across from Hopmonk after the Dragonsmoke gig there and Ivan loaded up the juke box with Prince and we all had a funky dance party:) 

gotta love this town!

They ought to just hire Butch from 'Splintered Sunlight'  as an understudy / contractor.

He's  actually a really good guitarist who knows all of the Jerry riffs,  and a nice fellow as well.

The women pay big money to see a sexy Jerry these days. They’re obviously going to have to postpone the tour and wait until John is healthy again. 

Time to break out the JM hologram.

I hope he has a quick and easy time healing from surgery.

I am sure a few on this thread had there appendix removed.  I did about 3-4 years ago? I was working my ass off trying to make quota and was  working sickly the whole weak. On Friday went to the Doc and he immediately diagnosed me.  A CT scan confirmed and doc said   i Needed to check in write then and there. I asked the doc how long till it goes pop....he said within 24 - 48 hours. indecision I went back to work. made quota. had the operation the next day. Unfortunately the old appendix went pop while on the table. Should have checked in right then and there. Recovery for me took about 5 weeks. One of the many bad decisions I have made.ur 

 

Gods speed in your healing JM.

They all look smokin'.

The sandals JM has on the pic are dreadful.  They probably cost $300.
