  1. 7/7/78 filler was the missing Johnny B Goode from Ojai. Pacific coast tour now officially complete. 😜 Fantastic 2 night run at the UC Theater.

  2. The power on the entire block (both sides) went out around 5:15 and came back on just before 8. The show was hanging by a PG&E thread. The UC Theatre was ultimately quite accommodating, They extended the band's curfew, and the band responded to the curve ball with a super fun elective show. I had the pleasure of meeting both sml and Dr, Barry, not to mention hanging front row balcony with rude and his better half. Here's my list. The Imagine jam was super fleshed out. Everything from drums on was gold. Shakedown Street Minglewood Blues Althea Cc Rider Cumberland Blues We Can Run Paint My Masterpiece Mission in the Rain Sunrise Good Lovin' Help on the Way-> Slipknot-> Franklin's Tower -> Feel Like a Stranger Unbroken Chain -> Drums-> Space -> Imagine Jam -> Dark Star (1st verse) -> Corrina -> Comes A Time -> Deal Encore: The Weight

  3. That's a very classy choice DSO made (wish I'd thought of that!) Play 'Em back to back with a week and some miles in between,,give the Bay Area some red rocks juju for those who don't make the trek to Colorado, and the band gets in the '78 groove in prep for their big gig in a week...I totally dig it! great way to round out the Cali shows🌋

  5. I don't doubt this for a second! Dso... A band with integrity. I can say a whole lot more on this subject but I'll leave it alone.... I'm just happy that the band that is playing this music the best today and keeping the Dead scene alive is a band with integrity. Thanks and much appreciation Dso!!!

  6. I heard a 4/29/71 recording of New Minglewood Blues. It was a fast versio . When did the pace change to the modern version? (I kinda like the old fast style the best.... )

  7. Nowadays it’s hard to sneak to the front. They have to protect the people who spend $500 on their ultra vip pit as well as the vip pit and then the economy plus pit. If I get in a big gig early I usually go to where my seats are then spy out empty areas to move to. I want my own row at least if not my own section if that’s possible at the bigger shows.

  8. The staff continuously updated us on the status of the blackout and even came through and banded everyone early so once doors opened we could pretty much walk right in. They also said they could extend the curfew to as late as 1:30 if needed which was crucial. Many venues would not extend the close like that. Kudos to UC theater management for making the show work. They even said if power wasn’t restored they could do the show Sunday. They knew what they were doing and did the best job I could imagine under the circumstances. Was supposed to be doors 7 show 8 became doors 8:20 show 9:00-1:00. I love this city because inside the venue it’s anything goes. By the end we just kept the bottle of Michters on the table. There’s no where else where so much flower is smoked than Berkeley. Everywhere else people mostly sneak vapes. This place fires it up with zero hassles. Was the 1st Dso show where I got really drunk at lol. I was stumbling out and it took some late night burger and shake to get me walking straight. Straight barrel proof Michters KY whiskey was the ticket. Hey John are we sneaking in that 11yr KY Owl tonight? The worst part was getting in line early to grab a table and standing in line for 2 hours. On a positive note I was able to dance a little after my AstroTurf injury in sandiego. AstroTurf has taken down the best of athletes. Initially it looked like super manicured grass at humphreys. It was actually super grippy plastic turf. When I was making a cutback to avoid a tackler the ankle just turned as the foot was turf locked. I didn’t take out that $9 ticket insurance like it begs you to do every time or I’d be hooked to electrodes with high tech nfl rehab to get me back on the field. Pretty sure if you pay 40% of your ticket cost in insurance, it has good benefits.

  9. This was our first DSO show and my wife and I, both GD veterans, were quite blown away with the quality of the experience. The curfew thing was a bit of a bummer but the band handled it really well. The Morning Dew in the second set crushed! We ended up wandering into a bar in Ojai with a great live band and "the music never stopped." We are new converts to DSO and are heading to one of the Berkeley shows!
