71/12/04 Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden, New York, NY Set One Truckin', Sugaree, Mr. Charlie, BIODTL, Tennessee Jed, Jack Straw, Run Rudolph Run, You Win Again, Bobby McGee, Comes a Time, Smokestack Lightning, Cumberland Blues, One More Saturday Nite. Set Two Ramble On Rose, Me & My Uncle>Other One> Mexicali>Other One>Wharf Rat, Casey Jones. E: Johnny B. Goode. Filler: Loose Lucy, Tangled Up In Blue. 50th anniversary of this performance from NYC. Big crowd and a plethora of energetic dancers occupied the second floor of the joint. Typical 71 fare, love Mr. Charlie, interesting placement of the Comes A Time, the closing triad a sweeping panoramic of color and spin. Have been hoping to catch the Smokestack and got the stand alone one here, which killed Pig style. After dipping a toe in the water for a pair in the second, Other One realizes full power, slowed temporarily by the Mexicali. By the Casey things had cleared out, we had an amazing group left on the dance floor that gobbled new found real estate. Exceptional filler, Jeff really nails Tangled and thought of Tea several times during that one. Great fun. On to St Petersburg. Praise DSO.

Went to Grateful Dead night at Redwings game Saturday. First hockey game and was just used to mask a dispensary run before the holidays 🤣😆. Lucky enough it turns out it was Grateful Dead night and there was a band “raising the dead” or something close to that before the game and I had a really good time. Good tunes, game went to OT and home team won. It was a fun trip

Ya Georgia let us all down. 2 SEC teams again. CFP is getting boring in its current format. Just crown SEC champ national champ. If you not in SEC you have to do more to get in. It's almost feels like intentional corruption. Keep league special. Georgia through that game. Bama couldn't score against Auburn. This amazing QB couldn't get it done against Auburn then he smokes Georgia. Let's do best of 3 from the top of SEC.

My last of 2021 “OMSN” touring. Caught 7 Fri-Sat shows this year in 6 states. Not quite my 20 show average but heading in right direction. Enjoyed Fri night much more as venue was not sold to “Astroworld” density as Saturday. Older head I danced next to Friday called 50 yr Felt Forum show and he nailed it! Met several people Saturday that came to show breaking their 2 yr Covid hermit lifestyle. Even with no vax or test required, I guess even cowering Floridians darkness has to give. Talking to Cotter before show…he was shoe horned between bars as far back as you can get…could not see or hear the band?! WTF. Found that in indoor venue the sound was better space a plenty but no visual of band…danced a lot there as it is more fun as Jerry would put it…”without seeing smashed human bodies”. Have not made it to a Dewey show and since it has been compared to this venue…glad. Smokestack highlight for me in the 71 fast paced set. DSO just never seems to disappoint. Neither do all my rowdy DSO buddies that were in attendance. Even got to chat with Grateful Dean from you tube. Since NYE or west coast runs unlikely for me…C U spring 22!!!
