Last night Basement Dance Party #6 pierced the silence of a cold, rainy December evening with three sets of Grateful Dead goodness. Textures from all eras consumed, the second set especially electric. The underground dance lab again delivered a journey through the human condition. Great way to start a week off from work, Big Fun.

Not gonna be able to help you on that one, but well done working your way in so far. No doubt your networking ability will get you and Whitney into the remaining shows. Miss you both, stay safe. Praise DSO.

I would hope all could play nice, and respect the music. Sounds like a great lineup with potential to produce interesting shows. Paging MC? Praise DSO.

Another fine example of the wacky good lists being produced in 1985. Only TennJed in the second set from the 80's on, and an opener to boot. The second set especially tasty, check that pre drums. I have found the second set Cumby to be quite righteous, and approve of the post space Truckin'. It was 35 years ago today. Praise DSO.

They have recreated that date at State Theater with JK back in the day. It was a three show run that started with 85/10/31, then 11/1, then I believe elective. I have vivid memories of the joint just going berserk during the Gloria. Great show. Praise DSO.

It was 31` years ago today. Praise DSO.

Ok I'm having Europe 90 flashback With the 11/1 add on. At least I Don't have to change my flight. Praise DSO.

The Big RR again a highlight, the final jam reaching out to some new ground. Touch appropriate, and the Cassidy, Crazy>Uncle John a solid segment of the second. Great to have some family at these to run with, we dominated a corner of the bar and had great sound. Hooray for live music. Praise DSO.

Tuesday night Basement Dance Party #4 delivered an experience complete with the full range of human emotion and Grateful Dead vintages. To keep things 2020, the band blew a fuse during the first set, temporarily slowing the journey to the other side. The group persevered to achieve bliss somewhere in the primal second set. The third included an early Fire and Terrapin and the 18 minute space from 94/10/01 took all on a journey through the multiple time space wormholes. The dance lab has been the secure, underground operations center to escape the ills of the surface in 2020. Set One 80/28/11 Lakeland Civic Center Arena, Lakeland, FL Jack Straw, Peggy-O, Rooster, Tennessee Jed, Passenger, Deep (Blown Fuse) Elem Blues, Looks Like Rain, Deal.
