First post/reply in years.
My dad had the same surgery 20 years ago when he was approaching his mid 70s. The doctor said the same thing about his chances, although the odds may have been lower for him. He went through very well and recovered relatively quickly even at his age at the time.
Taking your friends age and 20 more years of medical industry experience, I believe he’ll be fine.
since I haven’t posted in years, shout out of praise to all those Boulder and Red Rocks shows. Last summer’s Hamptons Long Island show was absolutely spectacular.

1/1/79. 15 years old visiting my aunt and cousin in NYC. All I wanted....all I knew was Truckin' going in.
Got:
Jack Straw .....me: "wow that was a spectacular song"
They Love Each Other .....me: "wow that was a great song"
Cassidy .....me: "wow that was a great song"
Jack-a-Roe .....me: "wow that was a great song"
Looks Like Rain .....me: "wow that was a great song"
Tennessee Jed .....me: "wow that was the greatest song I ever heard!!"The list goes on and I forgot all about Truckin' 15, I'm now 58.

Really amazing audio/video quality presentation.
Great setlists and they just plain sounded fantastic. Really can't wait to get to a show....
The 4 night New Year's run would be spectacular for streaming. I wonder if requesting/suggesting at Fans Live would matter, but, I imagine the band has a say (financial aspects) along with the streaming service. Sending out a wish....

Time will tell, but the photos of Jonah in the article look better than the younger one above.

You know the expression, "takes your breath away"? I can't think of October 17th, 1983 without shortness of breath - same now as I type. I walked into that venue an ADHD and paradoxically 'sleepy' boy and walked out awake, transformed and never the same again.
Edit: The subject is DSO 5/8/77. First DSO show couldn't believe my eyes, ears and experience: 2001-04-11 Keene, NH. Every other show is an super honorable mention.

Back in the 80s I lived in New Paltz for 5 years and Albany for a couple. I would often frequent this part of the Catskills Mountains for backpacking. Black Dome and the surrounding mountains, the lay of the land, is such great energy. I think Hunter and Windham ski mountains are nearby too. Stunning area with great vibe.

How about a Rob Eaton/Charlie Miller soundboard for today, boys and girls?

I am looking forward to this, big time. '83 (and 78) are my sweet spots.

Hey Rude,
If you bought the shirt online, can you tell me web address? I need to get my new nephew into that shirt.
Thanks

@Chuck - after the quarantine let's head to India and Nepal like we once discussed at set break years and years ago (was it in Lowell or Princeton?). Much better timing for me these days. I'm a little familiar with public transportation from Agra to Shimla. Train outta Delhi, rickshaw, and rent-a-car (which btw comes with a driver).
@Hardpan If you see someone wearing a blue sweatshirt with "Late Show with David Letterman" on it, that is me. Around the social guidelines would love to meet you! If you need a place to camp out let me know - you can at my place.

Never thought I'd start a thread with a title "Swanzey, NH". I'd often say that "my band" is playing in "my backyard" for the Keene shows... relative to the traveling to attend other places. Boy oh boy, I'm getting literal when I say "my band" is playing in my backyard.
So grateful !

One of those perfect nights when I was able to lose myself fully in the music, highlights are a bit tough to recall, it was really lovely the whole way through. Terrapin was special, and it was amazing to hear almost all of Red Rocks get down almost to pin drop quiet during Black Peter. Lisa tore it down with White Rabbit, great to hear that song in that place at the end of the night. The rain held off to within a couple seconds of the final beat of the song, really cool.
"...it was amazing to hear almost all of Red Rocks get down almost to pin drop quiet during Black Peter"
From my seat and experience, *ALL* of Red Rocks was quiet and still. What an experience to be at a concert with thousands of people - the silence and stillness was exquisitely beautiful, most palapable. Maybe the pre-show weather up there (and Hot Tuna) mystified us a bit.
............"Now"..........
Thank you to band, crew, and Colorado people for a most amazing three nights of such sweet music ❤️

Rob E. I wish you would reconsider 1 in 10 downloads to be a recreation. My most played download of the 2 dozen I purchased is the Jamestown, NY 11/15/2013 - an early 80s recreation.
I'd listen to this show 'until the cows come home".... but definitely grateful for what you do offer.

Stay safe Chuck, all. I encountered some winter treachery myself in the UK some weeks ago. It was so rough going, I posted this on Facebook

For some of us, part of this DSO experience is reliving the past. But truly speaking in this case, the past comes up on me- so the past is reliving me. I did not attend the Long Island shows but when I saw Revolution in the setlist I was immediately transported back to the Olympic Arena Lake Placid and Carrier Dome Syracuse circa 1983. Just from reading the set list.
This fall tour 2018 has been very special - four magnificent shows for me. If I ever get the nerve to share 3/25/90 experience that came around again this 11/17/18 in Albany, I will. It is ultra personal and I'd have to ask the other person involved before putting in a public forum.
I'm not the first person to say, "Praise DSO".

I was in shock when I learned how close this show was to my daughter's college graduation and our hotel. The Friday night champagne toast at the school ended at 6:30 and I was at the bar across from the venue by 6:45 with my bro. My love for electives is growing - just look at this set list.
Although the crowd was really, really into it (few talkers thank goodness), I was surprised not to see any dance circles.
What a night! Thanks!

I became a fan, a deadhead. I can identify the exact moment in the Sugaree that sealed the awakening. Not too many demarcation lines in life as crystal clear as that.

What a GIFT from the band to Keene (and never forgetting the folks behind the scenes). Friends, colleagues, and folks around town were abuzz this morning. I tend to notice the next-morning-buzz after all Keene shows - all of them are quite obvious. This morning's buzz had an extra bounce.

My prayers are that Callie (I think of her as an angle), a former 6th grader in the Monadnock Waldorf School be the messenger to guide Tara to her Lord. Callie past away last last year.
Here is the poem her parents shared:
"In one of the stars
I shall be living
In one of them
I shall be laughing
And so it will be
as if all the stars
were laughing
when you look
at the sky at night"

Goodness gracious, that was a beautiful festival, the one day we attended. The lake was 5 minutes walk and re-entry was allowed. Eggy, Lucid, Dogs in a Pile and Keller tuned our souls up for a pristine show by DSO.
Funny how I didn’t resonate with the merchandise in the 8 DeadCo shows I attended from east coast to San Francisco. And yet again at this festival I connected and resonated with the merchandise from these vendors. Mystery, the difference in experience.
The Adirondack people were/are beautiful people. The venue staff and security were beautiful and the day was crystal clear. Oh, and the music. Thank you to all the powers that be and DSO Band and crew. 👏❤️
