So good to be with you brother! Had to retreat to some pretty nice open dance space (Ed needs about 100sqft) in the back on the wood floors. To say this was a barn burner wouldn’t do it justice. Well played DSO. Sound and lights were money too!

For sure a fun time along with several good friends. I was on the rail right in front of Jeff for the whole first set. Second set was setting in ADA just off the left side of stage.

Where did you watch the show? The balcony?A private room? &nbsp sounds like a fine time!! 🌹

The Grateful Dead environment has strange and interesting things happening. I was just feeling fine as we approached the Tabernacle and the gathering crowd. There was a man with a large beautiful Madagascan lemur , gray any white, on one shoulder and a parrot on the other. We got to talk with them for a while. Approaching the check in inspection place it got more puzzling for instead of the normal shakedown I was set to the side and this nice security man was telling me his name was Michael too. But at that time no one had looked or scanned my phone tickets. Maybe he knew me from past times, I don t know. He explained they would take care of us and take us in. The next thing i knew a lady was putting us on an elevator. It was small with just enough space for Jill and I. I had to hold a button and we were carried up higher and higher and then we were escorted to the front of the room. After the show when we split from other friends they escorted us out the back stage area. Outside the same security folk walked us through some security area and opened a gate to the street scene but behind the Tabernacle. They treated us like we were their grandparents or something. Eventually we caught an Uber and after starting out Bruce shyly asked if we could drive around the front of the Tabernacle. Turns out he was looking for a lady he had met. She had told him they should meet out front. Sadly we could not find her among the remaining deadheads still partying on the sidewalk. Peace and Love, Doc

Looks like a smoker. Enjoy the ride. Praise DSO.

Now, that’s how I like it. Rockin the Tabernacle. It would have been sooooo much better than the emergency vet with my daughter’s cat last night.

Lets say it was good

The last four tunes of the first set and what they did to Help/Slip/Frank makes me want to hear that stuff live and wish I was there.

Oh and the lion and Samson never got in attack… 20,000 dead by the end of the song with verse doibled. And still fabulous… 40,000 Headmen couldn’t make me change my mind.

Love seeing your post

What an easy escapade to Charlotte! The Amp amphitheater opened in fall of 2023 in the planned mixed use area south of Charlotte. After work we drove up through some pretty significant weather. It has been a very rainy May, dumping lots of rainfall at a time, but it didn’t stop the show! Very easy parking. I had dinner outside one of the restaurants and listened to the first set, cooling my heels after a long day of doctoring, avoiding getting drenched, not that it mattered much. But for a while, it was luxury to dine and take in the music. The rain stopped pretty much second set with a light cooling mist every now and then. 😃 We got an upgrade to pit while checking in as a kind man gave us his extra. Astroturf might just be my favorite outdoor ground cover! Funny, I felt most comfortable on the springy fake grass! It gave heavenly cushion, no nasty beer spills to avoid, good footing! Scored all night in the endzone! We had great dancing all around. I’m sure the sound was better on the lawn. I couldn’t hear Barraco as much in the mix where I was. The spirit of a dead show hovered around as St Stephen dropped. That old familiar feeling came knocking. Groovy NFA with very nice percussive moments in first half of NFA and Eaton and Mattson trading licks and pushing the music further in the interplay, clearly delighting Eaton. Truly, the HSF sandwich with all the extra stuffing delivered a meaty, sonically tasty meal. The slipknot fomented in second half, Skip booming deep bass riffs. Yes, may the four winds blow us safely home in this crazy world! Meanwhile, might as well celebrate like a Saturday night- grab the sunshine when you can- smell the roses- and forget the tribulation of the world. US Blues never sounded so right. 💃🏻🕺🏻🌹 Excited for Asheville and Charleston. First filler, Don’t Do It. yes, dontcha break my heart.

We were late and I couldn’t tell you the songs that well anyway but Jake played guitar and did an awfully fantastic rendition of Tom thumbs on vocals. Lots of Colorado’s music family showed up to support him and even Jay Lane made it out. It was a fun night for sure.

Funny when I read all gone 3 weeks later I thought you guys was being stupid cause he doesn’t die until 73 but like usual you guys no better than me I get it now last show not when he leaves us.

I made the same mistake when I counted. Wait!, that’s Jerry.

You’re right: You Win Again ain’t Pig 😱

We’ll be there, Doc. Can’t Wait❤️

Pretty rainy but not a drop on me 🤣 Beautiful stuff - set 1 had such a good bounce with the Sugaree madness to close. Spellbinding Help > Slip breakup - sounded like they done it a thousand times before and not even a shred of mercy for the dancers with THAT 2nd set. It was just one long amazing song. Thanks DSO and Crew ❤️

I count 7...can't figure out which I'm missing. 🤔 Either way though, hard to believe that would all be gone 3 weeks later after the Europe tour ended. 🥲

Really looking forward to tomorrow’s show.

Love and miss you, Doc. Broke down here, too. 🙁

I hope to see and dance with many friends tomorrow at the Tabernacle. Please forgive me if I don’t remember your name and can’t remember who you are but that’s just my mind getting too full as age tiptoes along. Hopefully I’ll be on the rail for the first set but latter find a place to sit down and rest this broke down palace. Peace and Love, Doc

Dancin vibes for sure! After the Shakedown Sandie with that spacey Low Spark filling to close set 1, a funky Dancin sounded like it was in the cards

Was hoping to hit Asheville as it's only 5.5 hrs, but the new job has me until noon. Huh, maybe I'll try to get it switched to 11am so as to make the 6 start time?🤞🔥🛞🇱🇷
