We often get requests to go to Canada but we have been unable to pull off a show. Let it be known ... We do love our Canadian Deadhead brothers and sisters. However, the logistics of pulling off a show there are enormous. When crossing the border we would have to have a detailed list of everything we are bringing down to the wire, nut, and bolt, not to mention a tremendous amount of other hurdles we would have to jump over. Recently, we have actually been in talks with Canadian promoters in several cities and have been unable to reach a deal due to all the hoops we would have to jump through. But a small Canadian tour is still not out of the question. Negotiations have just been tabled for the moment, not halted. I still believe that we will make it eventually in which case we would most likely scale the stuff we bring down to a bare minimum for early '70s and late '60s style shows.
Until then, we have several close to the border shows. Buffalo NY, where we frequent often, is not far from Toronto. Then we have Bellingham Wa for your Vancouver folks and Burlington isn't too far from Montreal.
So Canadians, know that we love you and we haven't forgotten you. Please visit us for these relatively close border shows. We will continue to try to take off to the great white north. We know it will be a beauty way to go.
Best,
Dino
