  1. Today
  2. Further research courtesy of count2: On 9-1-79 Bertha -> Good Lovin' closed a 2nd set, whereupon the next 13 iterations proceeded to also close the last set. Culminating with the final closer on that 11-2-84 BCT show. It there would only be one more in set 2, that '93 Meadowlands show. Fascinating, for geeks at least. Also, there were 27 Need a Miracle -> Bertha -> Good Lovin', beginning shortly after 3 passes of a Miracle set 1 closer followed by a Bertha -> Good Lovin' set 2 opener. Took a few tries for them get it just exactly perfect. šŸ˜
  3. Yesterday
  4. Heed that link above - count2's database is powerful and bad ass! I was surprised to see that there was a set 2 Bertha -> Good Lovin' in '93... and there was a show opener of it in '89. The penultimate set 2 sequence, 11-2-84, is post space and features the greatest Bertha ever, IMHO. Absolutely love that BCT show..
  5. For those attending the show @ Infinity Hall in Hartford tonight, I hope ya'll get a wicked elective! Those streams from The Kirby Center over the weekend sounded great. Playing with that level of energy means you won't be disappointed , no matter what they play - elective or recreation! Ring . That . Bell šŸ›Žļø
  6. Forgive the shameless plug, but there's no need to be counting in this day and age. Just go to https://www.gratefulsets.net and do a search like so:
  7. Many times as show opener also, if my fried brain serves me correctly. Dark Star had a few Bertha>Good Lovinā€™ combinations in their set lists a little while back which triggered some investigation on my part. Bertha rocks, one of my favorites, going back to my beginnings. Always loved watching the crowd bounce to that one. ā€¦.and Good Lovinā€™, come on, thatā€™s Bobby channeling PigPen. Even a blind man knows when the sun is shining, cuz he can FEEL itā€¦..!!!
  8. Too many for me to count this evening; affirmative, many.

  18. Anyone have trouble with the first set stream? I missed a lot of the first set with technical difficulties anyways second set was without any troubles and awesome but loved the encore and fillers. ready to stream again tonight
  19. Overwhelmed several times by the bands inspired play. Scarlet Fire unreal energy lifted the whole theatre. Jeff really nailed the second set. Thanks band and crew. Praise DSO.
  20. I'd really like to hear some long distance running experiences from folks here there and everywhere or at least some highlights? I know we all have set out on Americas great roadways for one or three shows back when gas was under a dollar. And I've also been fortunate enough to hear travels with Dark Star through these forums and in person with you kind people. I think my longest and most trying was the Eel River 3 set show on August 29,1987. I went up and back without stopping. 21 hours to get there a half hour before the show, scoring my ounce of the prized Humboldt and to get the batteries and the blank tapes situated with my taping gear, great show then directly back in to my 79 collora right after to get back to Laramie for Monday morning class. Needless to say I had to find another recruit for the next excursion. I really went through lots of friends that wouldn't do it again. I always had the 3am-8am driving shifts and of course paid for their tickets, food, beverages, everything even a lay at the Mustang Ranch outside of Reno. Sounded good to the college kids of Wyoming when I asked if they were up for an all expense paid trip to California for the weekend (courtesy of the 40 dollar sheets) until they realized I meant only 3 days. Earlier in 87 was 32 hrs for the JGB Lawlor Events Center in Feb Totally worth getting my first Dixie Down equaling happy trails through the desert back to class for Monday morning, Wiltern March 13 and 14 also 87(couldn't miss a Friday the 13th after what happened at the upcoming recreation in Berzerkly on Fri the 13th in '84. The Alladin theater was when my cherry popped for 4/6/84~24 hrs RT one hell of a ChinaRyder and spaced into Eyes,with Bobby sitting on the edge of the stage swinging his legs during SSDD. Syracuse 10/20/84~ 22hrs RT,that town was decked out and all the houses seemed to have open doors for travellers to crash and got jack strawed...I could go on and on about 87 because the darkness of Jerry in a coma of '86 put a lot of people in "glad he's back and tjd the gotta see every show mentality ramped up when he recovered and returned. Please share some tales before you or this forum disappear. am interested ime other folks tales of highway hypnosis if got in you to share?
  21. Scarlet Fire rewarded all the folks that did the drive. It would have been 8 1/2 hours each way which stopped my inquisition. Maybe this could be a new Random thought.
  22. 79/12/30 @ Oakland Auditorium Arena, Oakland, CA Minglewood Blues, Candyman, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Ramble On Rose, Lazy Lightning-> Supplication-> Deal Scarlet Begonias-> Fire On The Mountain-> Let It Grow-> Drums-> Truckin'-> Wharf Rat-> Around & Around-> Johnny B.

  23. Elective setlist and that they played Shakedown and Corrina is all I know... EDIT: Here it is compliments of Kristina Sutherland: (I) Cold Rain and Snow, Black Throated Wind, Deep Elem Blues, My Brother Esau, So Many Roads, We Can Run, Midnight Moonlight, Box of Rain, Greatest Story Ever Told > Shakedown Street (2) Help is on The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower. Corrina > Crazy Fingers > Uncle John's Band > D/jam > UJB reprise > Lonesome and a Long Way From Home > Saint of Circumstance > China Doll > One More Saturday Night E: Honky Tonk Woman
  24. Aaron Marsalis - kinda catchy! Uncanny resemblance Except for the Caucasian part
  25. Dso doesnā€™t need to memorize a dead show note for note. They just need it transcribed and play the sheet music note for note. Itā€™s a lot harder to flirt with the groupies when your eyes are on sheet music. I know when I played sax in jazz band jamming out some chick corea that when reading music you arenā€™t aware of all the hotties screaming and wanting backstage at the high school gym. But what girl can resist a Chick Corea composition. None.
