They have car camping at the venue this year. Giddy up, old times!

2010 Gratefulfest at the Ledges. Terrapin Nation does a Thur nite set. I think this was the one where you and I met Doc. I wanna say we met Flairblair at that one too.

What an absolute treat that night mustuv been!! Wont be many more chances to see Weir at the Warfield!

thats awesome direwolf919, and it was my 2nd birthday show of my career. (First being 8-28-88, Tacoma). We had a great group of forum members in Asheville for those shows. Salvage Station will hopefully replace the orange peel as DSO’s spot in this town, it’s a killer venue.

M&M thieves runnin amuck also. We were victims.

hey, you can just shove that ignorant comment right up your ass buddy. I’ve seen you tear up to that song before!! Ohhh, you’re just trying to push my buttons,… that’s what it is, cause no way you say something that stupid otherwise.

hey little one should have made it but that song could only be delivered by Jerry in his 20s, so the shelf life was prob a consideration in its sadly short life. No doubt the best of the early stuff.

I loved how Brett Favre said “he narrated my career”. So true, Madden had some mad love for Favre! Madden and Michaels were a hard team to beat in the booth. I think when they broke up is when they tried a 4 man Mon nite booth with Dennis Miller. Epic fail, lol!

Word. Two worlds in separate solar systems.

Gotta throw out the “holy fucksticks” on that set list. I mean damn, that is the goods!!

They did the Layla coda in park city.

If it is the same guy, he’s still at it. He was kind enough to drive me, sunny and rude to see Scotty and the pranksters Friday nite.

To get a cherished show on a Maxell Gold was like a gift from heaven. I’d craft a special insert for it!!

This one rung my bell. From the stranger opening to the Jack a roe to a throw down with my boy BillK on blow away and Althea, Skip rippin the broken arrow, Esau and might as well blew out set 1. what can one say about a set 2 that opens with chinacat>Aiko>FGJ>Rider, and it blew up from there. Props to Kenny on the Bring it on Home!, to the Layla, Fantasy, to the Low Spark, to the Piece of my heart, which Lisa stole with the encore!! I don’t know what y’all have heard but this band is fucking killin it!!! 😅 Love, love, love what they do and how they do it!! can’t leave out a mention of Scotty (SML) for dishing out 2 killer after show gigs at the Cabin in Park City. Dude has chops and made a packed bar smile and dance!! more lifetime memories made, love ALL the people in them and the joy they give me! Thanks so much.

Helluva show tonight!! Thanks band and crew for bringin it!!!! Awesome weather and killer crowd and venue. Only bummer was 100% slope dance space. Hard to find a flat spot on a ski slope! 😅😎 Grateful Dead • 1972-09-19 (02:20:46) • Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ, USA Bertha Greatest Story Ever Told Bird Song Black-Throated Wind Big Railroad Blues Me and My Uncle Sugaree Jack Straw Tennessee Jed Promised Land Set II Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo Mexicali Blues Brokedown Palace Beat It on Down the Line Deal Big River He's Gone The Other One Stella Blue Sugar Magnolia Casey Jones One More Saturday Night Johnny B Goode Ripple. jammin after party with SML - he killed it!!

That was the stuff birthday show dreams are made of. Thanks to a great group of folks, including DSO and crew that made it a weekend to remember. ps: my last birthday show was in 1988 and they played an 88 show (duh) and my second birthday show was in 2021 and they played a 77 show. Maybe my next one will be 2030 and I’ll get a 69!!

Hate to hear that brother. Big bummer. Maybe things will ease by the end of Aug! Hope someone will take this room off of Vic’s hands. Guarantee it will come with good vibes cause I don’t know anybody who needed shows more than Vic.

How do you not call out “do it in the road”.? What a set opener!! Hey, no one will be watchin us, ……

Dude, the body of work that surrounds that HTH is unmatched by any show, combined with the absolutely surreal guitar work by Jerry and soul pillaging vocals from Pig. You can just keep your anti 4/29 rhetoric to yourself and then put it in your pipe and smoke it (cause eventually everything gets smoked). Most importantly brother, love you man!! ❤️❤️😂✌️

Hell yeah, finally some hometown shows since moving to this area last year! And a birthday show to boot!! My last birthday show was 8-28-88, Eugene Oregon autzen stad, Grateful Dead, Robert cray band, jimmy cliff. Show was from 3pm to midnight, lol. I slept half the afternoon, haha. We were on no sleep from the Tacoma show 2 days earlier. ps: I’d like to request a recreation of 4-29-71 for Sat night…. Shocker huh?!?!?’

I would say the raving reviews are getting boring, but this band just brings it every show. If you can catch DSO for even one show, unless you’re a d-bag, the experience is going to be memorable. Louisville sets looked sweet. Wonder if the last show cut short for weather was the first jubilee in 2012? Looks like the band thoroughly made up for the short set Fri on Sat night. Giddy up!

That’s my boy!!!!

Hey DD, we’ve never met in person but I’ve really enjoyed your participation on this forum. I remember your early times of moving from east to west. I did it also and lived vicariously thru some of your posts. I can’t wait to dance with you at a show. I think what sunny (going back…) was conveying is that it’s really unimportant what the cost is to run this forum. I can tell you that yes, 100% of your donation goes to TR, I’m almost sure he’s always run at a deficit, so let’s let Ron put in the remaining balance (or pocket a rare surplus) with the good feeling that comes with building a community. It’s like church, put in what you feel it’s worth and enjoy the karma. Love ya bro and hope this comes across with the the good vibes it was intended to!✌️✌️✌️✌️

This was the first of 2 nights at the Roanoke civic center. My transmission took a shit on the side of the highway on the way to these shows. We hitched on to the shows and left the car. Glad we did. Both of these shows smoked! The crazy fingers from night 2 lingers in my mind as the best I saw. Went back to the gas station I left the car at a week or so later hoping to get about $500 for the car. After some hard core negotiations I accepted the gas station owners offer of $50. 😂😂😂😂

Hey Bill, I lived on that big round domed mountain (Buffalo mnt) directly across the lake from the venue in Sliverthorne for a few years in the 80s and can confirm that amphitheater is about as epic a setting as you can find. Wish I had been there. Thanks for the report. So love all these killer musicians playing together again and having fun!!
