Wow being at the Greek for this was an unforgettable experience and phenomenal way to experience that venue for the first time…lotsa parrellels to the 2018 Red Rocks for DSO’s first time. Being on the DSO train over the years is like being on a long extended hiking trip up in the mountains…something as full on as hiking the Pacific Crest trail, for example….…it’s an adventure packed with beauty and challenge and curiosity about what it’s like up around the next bend…only to find yet another outrageously beautiful, expansive view with indescribable and pristine perfection splayed out in front of you,,.possibly even more glorious than the mind blowing view you had just a couple miles back… There have been what seem like endless peaks, sublime mountain lakes, quiet gurgling streams, alpine meadows, marmots calling out from beneath the rocks, views into deep valleys, terrifyingly steep cliffs, thunder and lightning rainstorms to survive, exhaustion yet truly fulfilling exhilaration along with a bit of physical malnourishment at times within a journey that offers thick and drippy glimpses into timelessness…. There have been many memorable high peaks along the way,,,and the Greek was a pinnacle experience…a peak among peaks that will be hard to beat,,,but all the peaks have so much to offer in terms of expansive views and inspiring beauty. The Greek completely fucking kicked ass… How could the best band in the land not pour it on as thick as molasses and heat it up and pour it all over you…their first time getting to play such an iconic and gorgeous venue steeped with Grateful Dead history. I also feel like it always up’s the ante when DSO plays in the Bay Area since it was the birthplace and home base for this music,,and history matters when it comes to the GD experience… With the juju of the venue and jehovah’s favorite Choir ready to pop so many of our Greek cherries good and hard…our favorite band played the shit out of 7/13/84…quite frankly, they fucking slayed it from start to finish. The beast that lives deep within the caverns of this music was fully unleashed and raged hard and strong as they worked their way through the intensity and sweetness of it all…the entire lower bowl below the upper grass area seemed to be dead silent during Stella Blue…the crowd seemed completely on board for the full shamanic cleanse throughout second set. Felt many times that we were in some sort of forgotten ritualistic cathartic festival of great human release in an ancient temple of sorts……ahhhhhhhhhh…..that’s why we chase this shit so hard…SOOOO freaking GOOOOOOOD!!!!! Of course the filler on top of the long and lofty Dark Star polished out the experience into a crystal clear gem with Lisa pouring it on thick…. i had a buddy who was way up at the top of the venue while we took it in down in close and he said when they dropped into Ripple he had to stop moving and drop into silence because the sound of the whole bowl of people down below singing together along with the band was drifting up the hill and landing in his ears as indescribable beauty and strong GD emotion…wow…. I want this hike in the high country to go on and on and on….so much satisfying beauty behind and so much yet to be discovered out ahead…. Thank you DSO…your capacity to transform the human spirit through your musical skill cannot be described with words!!!! Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of man… ⚡️🌹⚡️9 points

Thank you God for this past year, Thank you God for family here Thank you God for this delicious food, Thank you God for all that's good Awesome night, no better way to kick off the holidays. Sold out show once again at the Peak! DSO never disappoints. They threw me off with a 1st set drums, never heard that before. Thought maybe it was an elective set. The band is just a juggernaut when they get warmed up. The whole second set was fire once again. Props to my upstairs dancers. Another awesome night on the mountain. Hopefully everyone made it home safely and had a great Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends.6 points

When DSO put this on the tour schedule i was excited. I saw Billy and the kids last summer at the Pier and it was great. The view is insane and if you get a day like Sunday there’s nothing like it. but other than that, unfortunately there hasn’t been any reason to go there for any music. DSO hasn’t been to the city in years, maybe since coney island 6 years ago. Definitely haven’t been to Manhattan in 8 or 9 years. It’s falling apart again in this city but it’s nice to have a show in your backyard. So the day was perfect, sun shining, a cool breeze and Alotta smiles. I love how the guys in the band talk about playing at home. I heard some reminiscing of club wetlands !!! Minglewood and Row Jimmy first set love. Sugaree.. thank you dso for everything as always, it means the world to all of us6 points

Once in awhile you say to yourself that was THE best show that you’ve EVER seen or ONE of the best shows you’ve ever seen. but soon you catch yourself saying it a lot lmao that being said, the second set of the final show of the week was up there with one of the best I’ve ever seen. morning dew to start that monster double decker sandwich was something I needed to experience PITB>UJB>umbroken>d/s>imagine instrumental with the crowd singing some of it >last time >DARK STAR>PITB>UJB. This was totally amazing. Dark star was all ready sending me into orbit when we got the pitb reprise and ujb reprise. You don’t want these nights to end but they have to. the whole week in Jamaica is just amazing and I really loved the matinee. Wasn’t sure it was gonna be topped. Something about a daytime show that warms your bones differently. But that last set was something I’ll cherish for quite sometime, especially as I sit here in NY in the snow thinking about my sunsoaked week, of great people, beautiful weather and music that makes me happy beyond words. They are second to none when it comes to re creating the Grateful Dead music and the vibes that come with it . Ending with ripple my cup was beyond full. Dark star thank you once again, much love, and thank you Melvin and JGB!5 points

Parking lot summer stage area type venue. Had people with chairs in the back and great size area for dancers/standing. Definitely needed more bathrooms for that amount of people. Band seriously killed it, so much fun dancing and loosing myself in the music. Thank you DSO and crew!5 points

Melvin couldn't make his scheduled 9:30-11 evening show on Friday so Hyryder filled in after playing their earlier 5-6:25 scheduled show. Then we also got a third dose on Sat from 6:35-8 opening with St Stephen. The weather could not have been any better ~ low 50's for sleeping and mid 70's -80 during the day. We secured the absolute best camp site on Wednesday (although they tried to send us into the boonies) Thanks to Ducks eagle eye and Jedi driving we turned around and drove right up to the beach entrance from the woods. My first time back to the Ledges since Dark Star left , like 15 years ago. I forgot how intimately everyone there becomes best friends. 🤞🤞🤞🤞That DSO gets back there🙏🙏🙏5 points

One of the better recordings I've ever heard for this time period - some say 1st Slipknot! They had been emphasizing it for a couple months and this is the most pronounced. More like a slipknot jam but it’s killer5 points

Hey all, This is Mik, of The Garcia Project. I've been lurking around the forums and thought I would drop in and say hello. Way back in 2002 (I think?) I was at The Gathering of the vibes and it was the first time I saw Melvin play with John K - as DSO was headlining....They did a Jerry Band set that brought me right back to the old days of Jerry Band tour. I was backstage and met Melvin that night but I also walked John from the stage to his trailer with his guitars. We chatted for a while and I told him that I thought he and Melvin sounded great and would love to hear more of it. He said he loved it too but was very busy with DSO...Then I quipped that I might have to start a "Jerry Band" to keep it going....He said Go for it! He was so kind and nice to talk to. And now he's back playing with Melvin! Love it! Since then, I met up with Kat Walkerson, who subbed in for Cheryl and sang with Shirley for a few shows with Melvin and JGB (Stu Allen was lead at that time). I had just started The Garcia Project (2010) and Kat joined the band for our second show and onward! We both loved how DSO did the GD sets lists and we started doing actual Jerry Band set lists with the same style, arrangement and feel of the original. We built the original gear and were gifted guitars from Andy Logan (Grateful Guitars Foundation) and since then we have played many shows with Melvin Seals, Jacklyn LaBranch, Maria Muldaur and Buzz Buchannon, covering sets from 1976 through 1995! Now in 2025, we have assembled the absolute best band and crew and are out touring again through the USA. We all absolutely love and miss Jerry and the experience that was a Jerry Garcia Band show. We strive to recreate that feeling at every show. We even have a couple of shows on our March tour with the one and only Jackie LaBranch! We love singing with her and her voice brings us right back..... I saw my first GD show back in 1987 at Silver Stadium in Rochester, NY - Right after the show my friend asked me what I thought...I said it was amazing, but what if Jerry sang every song??!! He said to me, Go see Jerry Band.....I sad WHAAAAAT??? There is a Jerry Band? And the following year I saw my first Jerry Band shows at Great Woods. Hooked ever since. Ive always missed that rich beautiful tone of his guitar playing and his soulful voice and presence, Anyway, we've done a lot over that last 15 years (including recording an album of Jerry Garcia spiritual songs called SPIRIT with Maria Muldaur, Jackie LaBranch, Peter Rowan, Jason Crosby and more....) --- and its our mission in life to continue on the musical legacy, keeping true to the original arrangements, feel and style that Jerry laid down from 1976-1995. I hope y'all will give us a shot if we play your neck of the woods and Im happy to answer any questions or tell any fun stories. We absolutely LOVE DSO and sometimes get to see them when our tours cross or we are on the same bill....Cotter has even run sound for a few times. Love the band, the community and the music! We would love to join y'all at the Jubilee or Jamaica some day.....Peace, love and music.... Mik4 points

We woke up at 3:15am at our home near Asheville and by 11pm (8pm PST, haha) we heard the first notes of a killer opening Jack Straw about 3,000 miles away. Wow, talk about a long day. I was thinking about how Rude doesn’t even like to do a 4-5hr drive on show day, lol. Our son moved to Bellingham, so we combined a visit with him and these two shows. His first dso shows! His only prior exp with the Dead being a Dead & Co show I took him to in 2017 that was not very good. He was loving it last night!! Bertha in the 2nd song spot nodded 80’s to me, esp after the jack straw opener. From there it ripped. The Candyman was all melty and oozing goodness. Just love the guitar work in Brown Eyed and obviously Jeff does two. Those flourishes created liftoff!! TJed a raucous throw down and the Bucket kept us nice and sweaty up til set break. I actually called the China Rider (impressing my son, haha) which was more than adequate to get back in the groove after a cold break outside with flurries. After a soothing Looks Like, He’s Gone reminded me why I always yearn for that number! Jeff’s guitar work was crisp and emphatic. Then, the Spoonful>Jam>Drums>Space>The Wheel, wooooow! That was prob an hour of the second set and there was a lot to take in. I chose to let it take me in and really lost my bearings several times. Beautiful Black Peter and my second called song 😅 Knockin was a kaleidoscope of Dylan brilliance perfectly delivered! Don’t even need to say this, but Lisa slayed that Little Piece and left everyone with cups FULL. Venue very reminiscent of my local Orange Peel with all the shoulder rubbing and apologies to bystanders, lol. We got there right at show time to a line around the block but the band noodled and we walked in right at the first notes. Spent most of the night stage right by the ADA section where I had about a 3-4ft circle of space, best we could do. Couldn’t find Island Bro but will correct that tonite, haha! Thank you band and crew for hauling this party all over for the people that love it 😍!!4 points

We won’t make penns this year. I want you to know that I’ve considered this a non negotiable show for a long time and we will be back next year. But have to sit this one out. I mean I’ve lied to my partner when she was pregnant to be there. I spent much money on shakedown that night to try to compensate for my guilt it was stupid. I had to go one year with a previous lover and partied all night. Went to her family’s thanksgiving the next on no sleep and sweated the night out during the thanksgiving festivities it would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic and sad. But penns is special and always will be. The Dso pre thanksgiving show gave me something to be thankful for when I felt I had nothing else to be thankful for. Thank god I have so much to be thankful for today. But I want you to know that I love this community and this band. The fill cups of love when the cup empty. Make it over flow. For four hours they make everything just exactly perfect. I miss you guys so much and miss the music even more. Been a while since we’ve seen a show. We will make some of new years. And January is jam packed for us with Jamaica and the sages here in Colorado. We gonna do a week west coast in February too. But most important I want to tell you guys I love you and I am beyond thankful for all of you and the impact you’ve had on my life. I am forever grateful. Happy thanksgiving. I know you’ll crush it up on that mountain. I love you guys so much band and fan. Keep bringing the heat and joy to those around you. love is real.4 points

Caught Hyryder at Headliners on Friday night. Their usual solid performance. Songs swirling in my head but cannot even attempt any coherent set lists. Of note… 25 years and 10 months ago at this exact venue I begrudgingly went to my first show where the band played “entire Grateful Dead shows” ( “note for note” lol ). No current DSO band members on stage that night are current, save for Lisa. Long strange trip rolls on.4 points

Looks like time for old friends to drop by so I thought I'd say High. These posts bring back memories of better times when we would meet at the Ledges and dance in the sand, swim in the lake, and on a moonless night get lost in the maze of paths in the woods, also know as the "warzone" if I remember right.... Did anyone ever find the second tunnel? Peace and Love, Doc4 points

Very special show for me and my family. My wife’s and sons first time here and my 8 month old first show. Headphones for him and a blanket and he was very content watching the kids run and play and dancing with his mom and dad. What beautiful night on the water, couldn’t have asked for anything more. short first set but I said to my wife earlier I wanna hear Mississippi tonight so that was cool, and what a beautiful birdsong. when the lights go down my boy was loving the lights and music still. He made it to Truckin and then we had to keep truckin, he was toast. thank you dso for making this special for us. Great mini road trip for the fam as we headed to Mass for treehouse brewery. See you guys in the fall!!!4 points

Really quite fantastic. Brother Esau was replaced by Black Thrusted Wind- apparently because someone yelled it right before they were going to start. I guess that works occasionally? I’m trying to figure out what else was different but I can’t remember. Cool venue- potential to be very cool. Reminiscent of Pisgah Brewery in Black Mountain NC (miss that place so much). Excellent 2 shows for me. Good to be back in the action. Selbyville DE next.4 points

Friday 9/27 at Rupp Arens watched a 38 song 3 hour 26 minute set. 1 set. 8:00 on the dot to 11:26. “Kentucky don’t give a fuck about no hurricane”. Sturgill ripped my face off. Melty and jammy. It was some goodness it was so long of a show meili asked if he played turtles yet and I’m like it was like 12 songs ago. It became surreal at the end. It was so deep a dive for that long consecutive music I sorta lost track with reality. The constant song>song>song gave no reprieve.3 points

Some shows are beyond description, this was one of them. My oh my. A wonderfully great recreation, incredible show and set list. Enjoyed the rotating perspective, like having a back stage pass or front row seat, very close to the band. Amazing music from DSO and great dancing vibe under the tent was great summertime fun for all of us lucky enough to be there. Sound system maybe not as good as other venues, not quite enough of Skip’s bass. That jam into truckin and the sequence that follows, I love how I could have heard Dead explorations like that from recordings, and then with DSO I get to actually experience it. A part of what made the Dead so unique during a classic era, and I get to see listen to it live still. As always, thank you DSO!!3 points

The Grey Eagle Jazz is Dead 8:10/2024 Oooooo- this was absolute a groove moving time. I just love the way Alphonso Johnson lays down a strong funky bass line. Just scrumptious. And he’d go REAL deep with those notes. Pretty wild he’s a founding member of Jazz is Dead and was in Weather Report Suite, playing with Wayne Shorter- if you haven’t seen that biopic of Shorter’s I recommend it. I rode rail first set and the whole hall was soooo quiet when they were playing- hardly a whisper!!! Savored. Kimock’s amp was turnt up and a little too much for sustained proximity. Second set- the booze kicked in and loosened audience tongues- bleh. But overall better than most crowds!! (Alcohol is evil unless it is a beautiful a work of art like Veuve Clicquot; wow, the story behind that one!! Barbe- Nicole Clicquot was a bad ass!! ) My first love is dancing forever and always; last night I shook off the grind of work and felt free. And that is priceless. such weird times Heavy energies around. Kimock’s guitar sound was quite lovely and created serene places, delicately and thoughtfully sketched out. He actually smiled some! Glad I made the trip up and back home . Nice dinner with shellfish beignets that were to die for!!! Show was about 3 hours long. Box Playin Lost Saint Terrapin Suite!

Did sphere last night…so continuing thread drift… The immersion is very real due to the enormity of the graphics and spectacular resolution. Weaving in band shots enough coupled with great sound and seats vibrating to drums makes even looking at the stage unimportant. Since I was in nosebleeds maximizing immersion…stage was postage stamp in comparison. Dead forever exhibit was worthwhile and Shakedown in hotel ballroom lacked nothing from lot scenes except no food smells. Hotel opened bar for it, band played, and all usual goodies licit and illicit available. Back to thread…I did Dead & Co only because DSO was in town previous night. I’m glad I did it but have no desire to do Sphere ( with Dead and Co ) again…Can’t wait for DSO to come around…they didn’t need video to blow me away.3 points
