I guess people are busier than ever and/or have so many platforms to discuss things they're passionate about. In the past, the rhythm of this forum could be encapsulated by: "New ones coming as the old ones go" A more apt description now might be: "That's the way it's been in town, ever since they tore the juke box down" It is a ghost-town around these parts now....Sandboxes and playgrounds change, I guess. Life for me has never been more hectic between work, kids, (who are both now taller than their mom + dad), and caring for parents who used to care for me. I just don't have the time to geek out on DSO like I used to. Since 2008/2009, travelling to see shows has dwindled to a trickle and that makes me a bit sad - but life marches on I guess. Thanks to Taper Ron for keeping this place from falling in on itself. What am I saying? I don't know - I just miss ya'll. I hope everyones worlds are spinning in the right direction and I hope to get the chance to see some of you out in the great wide open dancing to the amazing music of DSO. Peace.

I saw Goose in Aug and they ripped it up pretty well! While I was impressed with their effort, they don't make me want to drop everything for the next opportunity. If it's an easy up-and-back - I'll take that ride again.

It takes great strength and grace to put yourself out there like that. I completely understand the sorrow of letting others down but "... to thine own self, be true." We simply cannot hide and many still die trying. I got a ways to go to be the man I know I can be but I've had to remind myself every day that "I'm 100% *!@&# worth it - even if when feel like I'm not. Love you brother - here's to the best chapter yet!

Rude - Why are you not in someone’s front office being groomed for GM?

Time to get superstitious. If they won't smudge the locker room, then maybe it's time for the owner to erase the bad JuJu with a sacrifice. The offering? This haircut - just shave it all:

I streamed 2nd and 3rd sets. Show was fire 🔥! Crypty was very good - Terrapin Suite was excellent!

Just WOW!

Not my cup of tea but I’ll try to see ‘em. Tempo is a huge adjustment but I’ve extracted what I needed before, I can do it again. Hopefully I won’t have to travel very far.

Not 100% that I could dance for the whole 18 but boy would it be fun to try! Curious as to the run time for this one........Anyone?

Sorry, Rick. So much loss in a beautiful world. Peace to you and your family - love you buddy

‘Grateful Dead Meet-Up at The Movies’ to Feature Copenhagen 1972 Tivoli Hall Performance https://jambands.com/news/2022/09/15/grateful-dead-meet-up-at-the-movies-to-feature-copenhagen-1972-tivoli-hall-performance/?utm_source=Relix+Daily&utm_campaign=9c8e7d1366-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_09_15_05_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_486e6e4b54-9c8e7d1366-29140159&mc_cid=9c8e7d1366&mc_eid=794e3472a3 Rhino Entertainment, in partnership with Trafalgar, will present the 2022 edition of Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies in theaters worldwide on Nov. 1, with additional screenings across the U.S., Canada and select territories on Sat. Nov. 5. The forthcoming movie showcases one of the Grateful Dead’s most iconic shows, from their Europe ‘72 tour, at Tivoli Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 17, 1972. Grateful Dead Meet-Up captures the band’s ground-breaking concert broadcast event, which was the Dead’s initial major live concert broadcast and the first in Danish television history. The film has been fully restored, color corrected in high definition with audio mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffery Norman and mastered by David Glasser. The movie presents viewers with approximately 90 minutes of Grateful Dead music as they run through classics like “Chinacat Sunflower,” “I Know You Rider,” “Big Railroad Blues,” “Truckin’,” and many more staples. Included are Jerry Garcia, Bobby Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Donna Jean Godchaux and Keith Godchaux. Moreover, the film also captures the band’s first live performance of “He’s Gone.” Additional highlights include “Ramble on Rose,” “Jack Straw” and “One More Saturday Night.” The tour also serves as the final run for Pigpen, who passed away on March 8, 1973, making the group’s rendition of “Hurts Me Too” all the more powerful. “We are pleased to be partnering again with Rhino to bring the ‘Meet-Up’ to cinemas around the globe,” said Kymberli Frueh, SVP for Programming and Content Acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing. “The last ‘Meet-Up’ was the first with an international footprint and was a rousing success. We look forward to many more years of bringing Dead Heads together in local cinemas, wherever they may be.” Tickets for the movies will be available on Sept. 23 at www.meetupatthemovies.com.
