The cops seem to gather around the Interstate highway, both nearby and down the road. I found it safer to exit south away from the big highway. Go slow toward the next small town. It might take you on a little longer trip but could save a hassle. Peace and Love Doc

I heard low spark a few times when I toured with Phil Lesh Quintet. He also played it with DSO a couple of years ago in Seattle or Portland. If the song is gonna be played, hopefully it will have the extended jam

Be careful in your vehicle as you are leaving after it’s all over. Word on the street is that the cops stalk the exits, will pull you over on your way out of town. …..careful what you carry, the man is wise. You are still an outlaw in their eyes.

Love the Springsteen dedication!

I love that plan. Execute it. I will try to work the crowd and spread some energy. I hope to identify someone I didn’t see on Friday night bringing the heat and spreading the joy on Saturday night. I’ll approach 5 people max and ask them if their nolongerhere I hope I hit it. One caveat if you changed your forum name please let me know I won’t ask people I know. I met someone from this forums at a small show in Colorado some how and I think I did have the kids with me and it well known I have kids. In fact, Delilah seen more shows than a lot of people that claim to be starheads or big fabs of Dso. I have her at a 100 plus shows over 6 years. And I will admit I may be slightly exaggerating by I will say for sure she’s seen 60 plus shows over 6 years. But dude comes up to me and says your masons child right. And I can’t say for sure if I changed name to Tom banjo yet. But he knew who I was and I didn’t really know how. Good dude by the way haven’t seen him post much on here lately but I seen him all over. I think I may be a little too much for him but he shows love and positive energy and feels. And I will always identify with mason. I almost introduced myself to some heads vending at the Ardmore as mason. I don’t really want to get to know people anymore. I can be standoffish. Overtly untrusting. And sometimes just a complete ass hole. At the very least dismissive. I have a triangle of trust. I trust Whitney I trust my best man, Bryan peterman. He isn’t into the dead btw but his step dad saw many shows and came to a few dso shows with me. He’s the one that committed suicide on my birthday and I broke down to on the streets of Birmingham for. Triangle of trust isn’t gonna be come a rectangle and certainly not a circle. i hope friends know some of that is tongue and cheek. There are others I trust and have big friendships with but those are the only two I’d share all the facts and bear myself too. I have a few that border on that territory. Please hope I mean to insult no one here. Just trying to make it clear I’m not trying to find new people in life. I however do want to keep the door just as slightly as ajar as possible. You never know where you might get shown the light. I’d love to get to meet you. Btw I gave my real name to Josh outside the Ardmore. And during the last set of music I think Whitney and I really showed what we are and what we mean on the dance floor. It felt good to have one person stop me and say I like your move and another and this one is probably unhealthy feeding my ego but he straight told me what you just did was art. In Jamaica where Whitney and I dance together more than anywhere else really because we have space we had several people tell us we were an inspiration we made their night they loved watching us. I have an unhealthy ego and maybe shouldn’t here people compliment me or us like that but I want you to know that this music and it’s message mean quite a bit to me and it is my goal on any given night to absorb the music and let it flow through and move me in a way that allows my movement to move others. If even for a second my spirit and energy helps another enjoy their night more or connect them more to the music it means the world to me. It will be easier for us to find each other if you come to the crowds front left stage right. A little beyond the stage all the way to the rail. When it’s still light out during the first set when we have the kids with us we will almost 100 percent be there. I will be looking for someone who inspires me. I make a point of letting those that inspire me know. I love it when a dancer catches my eye and breaks me out of my own trance. It’s not quite as fulfilling as getting totally lost in the music yourself but it’s a tremendous feeling to experience joy passion love even pain and suffering through the way someone expresses themselves through the music of the GD. Many many people have given me this inexplicable and invaluable gift. It often helps me get myself totally lost absorbed and connected to the music complete ego death escaping oneself to the complete acceptance and expression of true emotion and the beauty of what it means to be human, totally self aware but not in anyway self righteous. From the high road to the low so many roads I know. I am so incredibly blissed I have found this music and have allowed others passion inspire me. If you can’t tell I am really excited for Jubilee. Really excited to see so many friendly and familiar faces. Overjoyed to spend time amongst people with a shared love for this music. I hope to inspire and to be inspired. I have no doubt with Dso inspirationally playing this inspirational music that many will inspire me and maybe with luck I will inspire one. It’s gonna be an amazing time. love is real

Seems they working Low spark up to be ready for Warren. Haha And you say you want a revolution. Some say someone will get through to people how to get one. Kesey tried Jerry tried. We can make it happen.

Yeah that’s a curious one. Obviously countless 1st set closers,,,but a quick search on grateful sets reveals that this show was indeed the only time they ever closed a show with Don’t Ease. https://www.gratefulsets.net

Don't Ease closed a 2nd set in 1987? I'd have put money against that. Nice change up!

I think you are spot on

I almost went, both nights. Did a drive by Saturday night on my way home from my granddaughter’s fourth birthday party. I coulda caught the second half but had so much fun with my granddaughter that I actually was quite satisfied and just kept heading home. I do realize what I passed up. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen John K. And Eaton on the same stage. Highlight of the day, my granddaughter’s T shirt that she wore on her birthday; Four Ever Young

I vouch for dude put him up if you can. He’d do the same for you.

The whole reason we went to Philadelphia was for Dupree diamond 3 and like we always are we were late and missed it had to tell skip when I saw him we missed it.

Penns peak has a legit shakedown but it can pop anywhere and many venders show up here and there at Dso and create mini shakedown. These are do dead and co even phish and panic to make there living but love Dso and you might get 3 or 4 venders but they legit heads and I support them every time. Just saw smoke for the first time in at least 5 years probably longer. Bought some wares from him for sure. Also left my debit card at his set up. Got it back the next night. Trust dude through and through and I did way before leaving my debit card. Whitney made sure to buy stuff from all vendors including a jar of cauliflower from a vendor knowing we couldn’t bring it home on the airplane. I also scored a sweet not fade away welcome mat from another vendor. Some of you know not fade away was/is a common sign off of mine on posts. Cafe Istanbul where we had our private event and axial tilt played as well as jgb during jazz fest had a a pretty legit shakedown. Balloons and all. It was missing the bacon chicken ranch. Can’t wait to see you guys at the jubilee. Never stop never stop.
