Hyryder report? AC? Rude? Dead duck? Praise DSO.

Gold level both nights. Bring it on. Praise DSO.

Might be a few weeks as schedules need to sync up. Sounds like Hyryder filled the need. InDead Nation was fabulous here on Friday. Praise DSO.

Hyryder weekend reports? Mr. Rude? AC? Praise DSO.

Jackie Blue by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I heard this on the classic channel coming home from Local Dead on Friday, with my ears still "open" and was dancing behind the wheel. Praise DSO.

Great stuff, Hardpan. That is a report. Praise DSO.

Just got home from local Dead. Great Time. Eagerly awaiting reports. Praise DSO.

In an ever evolving series, Basement Dance Party 3 pushed the limits of human endurance, fanning out to a broader range of Grateful Dead textures. The whole night brought high quality work by the band, and the ride home from DeKalb was absurd. I would love to have you all here for one of these, they have been fun. Music ended around 2:00, with full post show silliness and Australian Rules Football. Set One 90/03/25 Albany Greatest Story, Touch, Wang Dang, Never Trust a Women, Jack-A-Roe, Masterpiece, Bird Song, Let It Grow. Set Two 74/05/19 Portland 1/2 Step, Big RR Blues, Black Throated, Scarlet Begonias, BIODTL, Tenn.Jed, Bobby McGee, Sugaree, Jack Straw, Must Have Been the Roses, El Paso, Loose Lucy, Money Money, China>Rider.

E: One More Saturday Nite. Praise DSO.

Last evening Basement Dance Party 2 surprisingly exceeded expectations, burning many calories in the process. A full serving of treats set the mindstage for the genius of the Big Man, he delivered in spades. The show had a nice long set break to refresh, and the energy in the room propelled the party to add on two unscheduled sets of acoustic Jerry. Hoe Down grande. Set One 83/10/21 Centrum Music, Loser, CC Rider, Cumberland Blues, Cassidy, Ramble on Rose, Brother Esau, BIG RR, Promised Land. Set Two 81/05/16 Cornell Shakedown>Bertha, Lost Sailor>Saint>D> Set Two 85/06/24 RiverBend S>Comes a Time>Other One>Cryptical>Wharf Rat> Round and Round, Good Lovin'. E: US Blues. After Show Acoustic Set One 87/10/31 Lunt Fontanne Theatre (Evening) Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Deep Elem, Blue Yodel #9, Ballad of Casey Jones, Two Soldiers, Diamond Joe, Gone Home, Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie, If I Lose, Ragged But Right.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Praise DSO.

Last team without a COVID case is declared Champion. Praise DSO.

Damn human authority figures. How much of a Supplication jam? Praise DSO.

91/08/14 Cal Expo Amphitheatre Sacramento, CA Touch of Grey, Rooster, Loser, Black Throated Wind, Row Jimmy, Cassidy>Don't Ease. Cold Rain and Snow, Box of Rain,Looks Like Rain> Crazy Fingers>Estimated Prophet>Supplication Jam> Uncle John's Band>D>S>Other One>Wharf Rat> Round and Round. Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Second set looks other worldly. Perhaps JohnA can impart some first hand knowledge. Praise DSO.

The second set night one was a monster. I was on the outside looking in night two, missing the Playin'>Rider, damnit. Praise DSO.

20/08/01 In DeadNation The Still, Timonium, MD Touch of Grey, Ramble On Rose, Rooster, Althea, Train To Cry, MAMU, Big River, Bird Song, Brown Eyed Women, So Many Roads. China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, Crazy Fingers, Box of Rain>Other One> Jam>Morning Dew. Fantastic to get some live Dead music for the Big Man's Birthday. Band really hit their stride from the Althea on in the first, the Bird Song a spinning dreamscape , and a credible job done on the SMR. China>Rider mashed and things were rolling along nicely until I felt a few raindrops at the end of the Other One. A bumpy landing ensued, with a ragged Dew ending the night as the rain drops picked up. Damn 2020. Great to see familiar faces, feel family, dance. I believe Jerry would be proud. Praise DSO.

You got some 'xplain' to do. Praise DSO.

Drums from Riverbend. Space (which was amazing) from Centrum. Praise DSO.

Friday night I held the first basement dance party at my house with a friend, appropriate medicines and frozen adult beverages. Plenty of Julie Andrews space during the show and no drive home afterwards. Great fun. First set: 81/05/16 Barton Hall, Ithaca, NY. 2nd set pre drums: 85/06/24 Riverbend Music Center, Cincy, OH 2nd set post drums: 83/10/21 Centrum, Worcester, MA Praise DSO.

Grateful Dead on a tennis court, seriously. Fantastic showbook entry there. I love this. Praise DSO.

22 men in close sparring does not seem very COVID friendly, the American public will really lose their minds without football. Money will make you do crazy things. Praise DSO.

92/06/20 RFK Stadium, Washington, DC Cold Rain, Wang Dang Doodle, FOTD, Mexicali>Maggie's Farm, Row Jimmy, Picasso Moon, Tennessee Jed, Promised Land. Corinna>Crazy Fingers>Playin' In the Band>Uncle John's> D>S>Casey Jones>Throwin' Stones>One More Saturday Nite*. E: Baba O'Riley*>Tomorrow Never Knows* with Bruce on accordion Steve Miller opened * with Steve Miller last Casey Jones 84/11/02 [549] Evidence that even in the latter years a monster show could still be had, the boys spin this story at the nation's capital. Always believed out of space the best set list location for a break out, with the locomotive airhorn signalling the Casey. We had a large group on the field and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Praise DSO.

That stinks Rude. This year has been such a cluster F to get some music. My two forays into COVID music have been wrought with complication, the first delivered, but band changes led to a less satisfying experience second time around. I find myself often recalling how amazing our Jubilee was last year. What a blessing. Praise DSO.

90/06/16 Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA LTGTR>Truckin'>Touch, Mama Tried>Big River, FOTD, Cassidy, Big Boss Man, Saturday Nite. China Cat>Rider, We Can Run, Estimated Prophet> Terrapin Station>Jam>D>S>China Doll>Sugar Mags. E: The Weight. A View From the Vault selection, the boys throwing down another solid 90 list. Opening sequence an unexpected trifecta, leading to a money first set. Terrapin epic. Praise DSO.

20/06/05 In Dead Nation, The Still, Timonium, MD Brown-Eyed Women, Sugaree, All Over Now, Jack-a-Roe, Train to Cry, Truckin'> Big RR Blues. Box of Rain, Scarlet>Fire, Ramble On Rose Good Love>La Bamba>Good Love. Brothers and Sisters, Ripple, Midnight Moodlight. Hooray for live music. Rain devolves a scheduled outdoor parking lot show into a COVID 19 set up of the band in the unopen restaurant section of the bar with the doors opens and the hungry patrons in the lot outside in the drizzle. In what felt like a hallway show, I spent in the evening in the front of the double door entrance to place. A group of about 50 all desperately fed the jones one way or another. Me and Jessica turned that little area in front of the door into portal 5 at the Cap Centre. Felt sooooooo good to dance to live music. Truckin, Big Railroad a juicy combo and the Midnight Moodlight shredded. Praise DSO.

Looks Like Rain will wash out that show. Can not catch a break. Praise DSO.
