    After 23 years of BillK522 chasing a 69 show and getting one, he gets another 1969 jolt less than 2 months later.  I really like that new batting average!

     

    69>Wilkes Barre>69, made it 2 out 4 for me.

    A friends last spin was Napa, he did back to back.

    Still an unreal performance in the light of day.

    The sets started and did not stop.  Other One

    jam felt Dark Stary and as of yet unplayed

    Wharf Raty   Soooo Good.

     

    Praise DSO.

  2. 69/02/07  Stanley Theatre,  Pittsburgh, PA

     

    Dark Star>St. Stephen>William Tell Bridge>

    The Eleven>Lovelight.

     

    Cryptical>Other One>Cryptical>Death Don't

    Have No Mercy>Alligator>China Cat Jam>

    Caution>Feed Back>Bid You Goodnight.

     

    Filler:  Easy Wind, Strange Man, Hard to Handle,

    Love the One Your With, Tore Up.

     

    This one was not to be believed.  

    First standard early 69 fare, the Star 

    stretched a little more than Napa,

    Eleven elevating, Rob strong on the 

    Lovelight.  Second the real face melter

    from first notes of Cryptical, Death Don't 

    popped the lid on the insane closing

    sequence, Caution went deep.

     

    I absolutely lost my mind during the 

    Easy Wind, the filler much like Napa

    killed.  Spent the evening with many

    loved friends.  Thanks Band and Crew.

  3. Another fabulous launch topic, JohnA.

     

    Always partial to 85/11/21 Kaiser, last play.

    A cherished tape in my collection, lost 

    to a break-in outside Pittsburgh Civic Arena.

    11/21 a capsule of 85 goodness, beyond

    the SBTM, they opened with Big Boy Pete

    (7 plays) and encored with Walking the Dog

    (6 plays).  The show itself may cloud my

    judgement of the song.  It happens.

     

    Praise DSO.

  4. Being a 85 lover, I was thrilled when they announced

    this release.  Also agree that triad should not have 

    split up.  Even with digital ordering, the transition, while

    nothing earth shaking, needs to be clean. Thankful

    Dave maximizes every cd released, this one would

    have been better with OO>Day Job filling the first

    cd and cd2 starting with the Scarlet.

  5. 69/01/25  Avalon Ballroom,  San Francisco, CA

     

    Dark Star>St Stephen>William Tell bridge>

    The Eleven>Lovelight.

     

    Dupree's Diamond Blues, Doin' That Rag,

    Cosmic Charlie, Alligator>Drums>Alligator>

    Caution>Feed Back>Bid You Goodnight,

     

    Filler:  Easy Wind, Sing Me Back Home, 

    Next Time You See Me, Take a Letter, Maria,

    Sittin' on Top of the World, You Ain't Women

    Enough, Mr. Charlie, Ripple.

     

    From the first bars of Dark Star, to the final

    notes of the Ripple, this show oozed special. 

    The first stretched out in  all the right places, the

    Star particularly devastating in its development.

    Lovelight a full Pig version.

     

    Doin' that Rag a mindblower, Cosmic Charlie

    slowed a beat.  Caution epic.

     

    Killer Filler.  Reaching deep into the catalog

    for a couple of gems, and they absolutely

    slay Easy Wind.  What a close to a five show

    run, infinite magic.  Thanks Band and Crew.

     

    Praise DSO.

  6. Tried and true material.

    Personally business picked up

    at the China Rider.

    Pre drums delivered with 

    world class precision.

    Miracle>Casey Jones probably

    did not happen often.

    Fantastic group in the hall

    getting down all evening.

    Spent the show with many

    loved friends.

     

    Praise DSO.

    E:  Baby Blue 

     

    Welcome to the Left Coast.

    Small theatre,  Slanted floors.  No balcony.

    How am I gonna make this work?

    Answer:  Incredibly well.

     

    Well thought out elective delivered to a 

    weekday audience.  Big RR third a means

    business early indicator, although this one

    crept up on you.  Let It Rock hammered.

     

    Foolish a bit bumpy, the delivery of the Crazy

    Fingers more than made up for it.  Flawless 

    covers led to the Stephen that popped the

    cork on a mind blowing final sequence.

    The closing crescendo of Viola outer limits.

    Spent with evening with many loved friends.

    Thanks Band and Crew.
