I had some good times at Penn's Peak but the last few times especially day before thanksgiving it seems to be infused with locals that have the mindset of "hey let's get as drunk as we can and see that dead cover band". Upstairs stage right is still a good place for dancing..

Saw Brandford Marsalis quartet last week. Amazing!

TN did a set of songs they never did before at The Ledges on a Thursday night 1 year but I don't remember them playing for what it's worth.

Great show!!! Blew my knee out on slant floor at port chester earlier that year but danced on one leg next to wall all night at Napa.

Yes storm was first jubilee. Got mixed up with Hookaville the year before. DSO did 2 shows and a late night acoustic set!

Rescheduled April 1&2

Capital Theater Passaic. Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City.

I think that storm was the second or third year!

I scored 21 on the redneck meter. Woulda been 22 but I don't think walking on gravel road is anything but natural 😀

I don't see a problem with that. I recently had to do that to someone that would smile in my face and then talk shit about me for many years now.

I have read some ignorant comments on this board but that last one takes 1st prize.

Old Folks Boogie or Fat Man in the Bathtub

Is have to go with Scarlet Fire but there's not much that comes close to a 73 China Rider

Live Dead and Roosevelt Stadium

And Dylan only got $300 million WTF

This reminds me of GD at umass Amherst. Only 5000 tickets sold to the public. I was very dosed and accepted this would be the only show I was shut out of. A guy named Donahue with a van with a loudspeaker on top was selling T-shirts and tabs. Right before the show started he circled the parking lot and grounds saying over the loudspeaker go to the front gate we will get in. This was shortly after The Who debacle. I still don't know if the gate broke down or they opened it up but we all got in. I am happy they did not ban The Grateful Dead from Ever playing again...

I just received a frequent responder award? What the f*** is that? Badges for amount of posts? What kind of ego-driven shit is this? I think that leads to the same people posting over and over and over about nonsense. For anybody that doesn't know me I'm from New Jersey I tend to speak my mind 🙂

I saw dead and Company one time. It was the rain show or I should say half show. If they were playing within 25 miles of me, you paid me $200, and gave me a ticket I might go if I had nothing else to do. There is a band beyond description that has been carrying the flame of what the Grateful Dead was for over 20 years now. Thank you DSO!

June 89 I think. Great show!! Band on fire. Plenty of dancespace Good friends :)

I was at this show. Without Lowell I was not impressed. If you haven't heard this give it a listen. Fantastic.

I read this thread for entertainment and to explore the hypocrisy within myself and others. What I don't get is people creating alter ego profiles because they don't have the balls to speak their mind as themselves.

I refuse to live my life in fear but I just read some disturbing news. Heart disease is not a killer! The CDC has been lying to us all along. A Consortium of quinoa growers have been donating money to them for many years for them to put out that lie. I swear it's true I read it in a publication from the newest new age Health Guru. Don't even get me started on hemp growers. They have been responsible for more detriment to the environment than yogurt and baked beans...

Sunny my friend thank you. Your words are too kind and I will strive to achieve the higher than deserved comments given. Ha yes I remember conversation somewhere in the south. You were just looking out for a brother in pain...

If somebody doesn't want to take the vaccine that is cool let them not take it. I believe that it does reduce the chance of getting and passing covid but you have a choice. It bothers me when people don't respect others beliefs like when you're at a show and people come up that have not been vaccinated and give you a big sweaty hug and talk in your face without warning you they have not been vaccinated. I have been in a fellowship up recovering addicts since early 80s. Back then h i v was is a death sentence. If I felt like I might have even a little bit of a cold sniffles sneezing Etc I would warn people that tried to hug me. I'd give them the choice. I still want my friends to give me a hug but I have concern because my wife works in a Veterans hospital and I am immunosuppressed with not having a spleen. A tick bite (babesiosis) put me in the hospital for six and a half weeks years ago. Give me the choice! Going Back...." I used to shoot speed Coke and heroin with lake water puddlewayer and rain water off the hood of my car. I am not that worried about a vaccine 🙂 if my previous post offended anybody I apologise. That's the jersey in me, we tend not to mince words:-)

Comesatime they weren't against "everything". You must have seen and bought into that movie- Wild In The Streets.
