Aw man..... our anniversary show..... this tour woulda been so damn awesome!!!!! The starter classics that they did at my first time...... I keep ramblin on but mama tried and oh y'all...... so glad you were there....... I love the tricky way they make your mind think something is happening but then it's just them and us and I'm totally recalling the days that still are to come and OMG we still singing Stella blue....... remember when that song made me think I was in love w the deviled egg but it was just the music? Bwahahaha.... glad he brought me to y'all, though
anyone get laid for shaking their booty correctly after women smarter? Cause if not it's a failure- with all the girls shaking around if you a single guy that didn't convince her you believe the words of the song with your shake backs then.... well.... like I said: failure!
Cumberland and viola same show..... sigh..... nice, guys!
i heard mighty Quinn on the walmart system a few days ago and started singing as I walked out and got a few funny looks...
heartbroken we missed this cause of his broken heel but all the years melt into a dream and my broken angels are soaring on strings that we don't have to dust off so often anymore cause they are finally being put to perfect use.
kiss kiss from the heart of me

I think what we have here is just an unfortunate choice of vocabulary on your part, Steph, as "junkie music" does feel like it has an unnecessarily bad connotation.
That said, I think I know exactly what you refer to. Although I prefer to call it "narcotic tinged". When I think of that reference I'm usually thinking specifically of circa '79 through '82 JGB, where Jerry might play sets with as few as 4 or 5 songs that would all stretch to 15+ minutes. Much of this music is undoubtedly informed by his heroin use at that time.
Bottom line: at the end of the day, anyway you slice it the passion shown on these forums is both wonderful and infectious.
You live in the west (would say from but I don't remember if you from there or not!) and I just escaped the thin skinned west and had my first New England summer (southern girl that I am!) and I have developed a colorfully blunt and direct manner of communicating because of it
no offense meant, but I don't exactly take shit like I used to 
and like I said, I had the spoiled southern girl literally beat outta me a few years back and saw the deep dark that exists in the greater dead family and since those experiences I feel obliged to loudly proclaim love and light (especially for DSO bc we dont let it get dark on this side of the street bc we make the ice petal flowers go revolving and evolving!) and not the pretentious bullshit kind, but the kind that makes some people a bit uncomfortable bc it comes from going thru the realms of hell on earth.
One of my buddies died 2 days ago from dope OD- not the first and won't be the last. But remember that Jerry quote (imma paraphrase lol) about it's not the guns or the drugs or the cops that fuck shit up, it's us.
remember, it's JUST US!
haha the mick jagger and Bowie version of dancin in the streets just came on the in mcdonalds I'm resting the car at and it reminds me of the moment I first GOT THE DEAD and fell in love with DSO during second set at my first show- ahhhhhh!
kiss kiss all over all your asses (dirty girl that I can't help being!)

Rude, you don't own the forums or the band or even, apparently, logic or an ability to actually read what I am saying. And u are still new to us. And u know what, I never saw Jerry and am not a deadhead I am just a silly unicorn star head that actually managed to piss you off and THAT is priceless. Good show to me
I didn't say anything negative about DSO, I said how much fun I had, remember? just my opinions of the different textures of Jerry Band shows bc I have that vocabulary and conceptual awareness. How many people have you convinced to tour DSO? Glad I made you show your ass, cause someone needed to. Get a life, kid! (And sorry, Doc, for not just ignoring Rude, but with a name like his you would think he would have a thicker skin!!!)
Kiss kiss.

I don’t think it’s weird at all. I said the same thing after every JGB show I attended.
And then I come down and realize I love both. And Pink Floyd, too.
When I comes to driving music, I really prefer Jerry Band. Tends to have a good going down the road tempo when it's super reggae gospel time (NOT like saturdays they did with all the junkie tunes! Lmao- and fuck off those that think their subjective opinion is God- or that saying personal preferences is "negative"- these forums are for fans to express their likes and dislikes and it's obvious we all love DSO so stop pretending you can love this music "more" that's just fucking gross- I don't rub in yalls face that I am the only girl left on the forums from the great "back then" bc I hate when deadheads pretend their 3 shows w Jerry in the 90s means they are more deadicated than my almost 200 DSO shows- so let's let each other be, mmmm kay? How bout we rejoice that this band brings ALL of us together and admit we don't get along in real life but we have fun together at the show!?) instead of the intense psychedelia that the Dead slip into- that shit will zone me out so hard on a long drive!!! Lol
also for Sunday mornings- if it's not a 70-72 dead show for Sunday morning, I like a Jerry band show
and for making whoopie..... THAT is some endless and divine shit, I don't think there is better getting it on music on earth! If it's dead I will get distracted by the music and ignore my partner but Jerry band just makes it fucking perfect every time (yes, maybe the dope shows are great for THIS purpose as well bwahahaha)
damn, I love y'all so fucking much!!!! And don't much care how some of you treat me this 'ol way- I keep going down the road feeling good as going to hell in a bucket and the ride is alright by me!!!!
Kiss kiss

Same bitch, different day! Bwahahahaha lmao

Ah! Positively and my Silver Angel song
so glad I sent people this way from the roads less traveled!
We are headed home via Arkansas..... in Mississippi now
lmao- never do we go in straight lines or even the right direction! But we do find our own way home sucks his broken heel led us to not make our anniversary tour, save a single night. Can't think of a time I have ever seen only one night of a tour..... even after my first show at the variety (yeah, I only want em to play there bc of personal nostalgia, hate me if ya feel it helps!) I made it to the orange peel a few days later..... got a darkstar that night and it's all I remember cause was my first experience with why these guys stole my face and heart from the beginning.
but it's cool. It's cool to have seen so many new faces appear and hang around a bit over the years. 9 years of DSO and they are still what takes me home every time in every way. Even though they made me quit my day job in the first year- by second year my night job of selling rocks (my how I have evolved from vending to simply giving everything away- much to he dismay of every guy I ever dragged along with me, save this one!) paid. And since I have very few needs and am generally agreeable to uncomfortable circumstances, it only gets easier.
but a broken heel- that's a bitch. Really it's the getting in and out of the venue and the smoking area that kills it. We been calling this year Hospital Tour 2018.
But feeding the greater, larger family has become just as important to my life work as getting my unicorn silliness in and spinning around the front row. We have a giant, extended family of which the DSO Dork Stars will always hold the most tender spot of my heart. And I will always appear at random when you least expect even when I'm not physically there. My ubiquity and the doppelgänger effect allow these things in the wibbly wobbly timey wimeyness that is the world DSO creates with their quantum ass transcendence.
But I really had to move. Deadication requires it. How can I find the other ones I gotta send home to DSO if I ain't out under bridges and on street corners and all the other dark places that many of you will never go? Shining my light when y'all already got your own you are content with isn't my job. It's lighting all those candles no one else is gonna even see.
I hope we all keep on growing.
Kiss kiss, see ya at the next show (cause it's the best one!)

Im sorry you don’t get Jerry band, but these shows were butter and The venue was solid with plenty of room and good sound. We are getting the goods.
I love Jerry band. When I pick shows to listen to I pick fridays, not Saturday's type setlist- primarily bc I have seen DSO do bout everything they did on Saturday and when I see that setlist I turn and I shrug. Usually it's diamonds to get a Jerry gem at DSO (they taught me the diff by going to shows, after all!) but when it's all together like this it made the special not as glowing.
Let me be clear- I am talking personal preference here, not performance! I like psychedelic rainbow discord (which Jerry band always has on a night that I like it) not stretched slow songs. But I know others love this shit, as I said. glad y'all enjoy it to dance, I will always be happy for ya! I couldn't dance much either way cause Jesse can't walk and by second set where I was dancing by him in the cripple area y'all moved the chairs into my dance space to make room for your dance moves and I was content to watch your booties jiggle while I snuggled my broken man. Don't wanna mess up yalls fun when I always have a good time.
The organ specifically was muffled and muted or something in diff areas of the venue and it wasn't the band or crews fault- venue ate that shit. Sorry you don't care as much when you are dancing but I learned early to close my eyes and spin at DSO and when that doesn't sound right and I'm in what should be a good spot across from the sound board I blame the venue- esp when I've been warned about the place and the shit sound by long time fans that didn't make it.
I like dancing in crowded areas- I spent too many years on the rail to not have mastered it. Please go back to the variety- it's not a dance competition, it's a dance together time!!!!! Sweat and stinky pits and all
and sorry if y'all think I'm being negative- I felt like the people that would get offended weren't in attendance so I could just be myself. Thank you for letting me. That's why I love y'all even though we are so different- cause I know y'all just wanna see the next show, too. It's always the best! But that Columbia show last year..... sigh....... best show ever.
BTW: how does the curse of the forums work to make us all have a hot thread about dso and Jerry band songs and then we get THIS tour!?!?! Bwahahahaha I guess we better be careful what we wish for!!!
kiss kiss

Made it! Was interesting to see them do the slooooooow thing so much in one show- seemed like a cool way to stretch themselves in a different way.
the venue stinks, please go back to the Variety. I know locals that always go that didn't cause they know that venue is crap.
I definitely missed the show I wanted.....
BUT
they took a melody and I did some shit with it and it's a cool exchange. Jesse actually peeked up and told me that we had previously experienced a very sweet TLEO moment on our first tour together last spring..... cute, he remembered.
i did my courtesy dance in front of Jeff in gratitude and spin through the balcony thing cause forever young is like that. The whole hey now there you are thing always gets me and ohhhhhhh the water...... sigh.
i don't know- call it a simple twist of fate though they did it lovely, but I just haven't ever in my whole life done dope and this show seemed best suited for those that enjoy that kind of thing. I mean- they did the era justice, but missing the more psychedelic Friday weighed on me a bit. Wilmington. There's always Wilmington....
they did make me sob for most of Dixie. Heavy shit, dudes!
and damn they finally got my lil unicorn heart racing and rainbow-pattering with that forever don't let go jam- think that was some tasty shit, right there.
the sound was awful in most of the venue- more reason to not go back! And I def gat a whistler super happy lady in my ear when I came up front for cats- made me go back where I belonged for the cripple section w Jesse.
we had fun playing together in our car afterwards and it made up for the shitty lot (enforced not allowed!) and weather so all in all, I'm grateful and I love you all and kiss kiss dearies!

Y'all better write some goddamn reviews cause this is the best show I've ever missed.
Fuck. Fuck. Car troubles and dropping kids at home after spring break kept us from making it.
This was my show and I missed it. Mississippi moon and lucky old sun? Wtf?
Hope I can hear it one day but
fuck.
dont see the point in even going tonight. Not after missing that. Fuck. We prolly will but the rain and our car and his fucked foot are making this a hard tour to make. Fuck.
we will be in Wilmington cause my brother wants to go with me but
fuck.
waking up outside to the rain at 4:24 falling on my head this morning and packing into the Mercedes to sleep in the front seat didn't ruin my day and turn my eyes red (reminded me of the subi days bf I got spoiled by vans and RVs) but this setlist did..... too good to have missed.
Fuck.
someone please encourage me and make me feel like I'm not the biggest loser on the east coast. Actually, save your fingers. I am the biggest loser on the east coast for missing this. Nothing gonna change that.
fuck. I hate today.
(see, y'all, I am NOT always just a happy unicorn, I have bad days, too)
its really just those 2 songs I mentioned though that I keep saying fuck about. I suppose they may play some other shit I like at the other shows (God, y'all made me such a snob about this music!) so I should prolly put my big girl skirt on and get over it and just go to as many as I can and fuck his damn foot he will have people bringing him beer and I can dance but fuck, universe, why all this, right now?
better chance of hearing lucky old sun up north in may at this point- then again, they've been known to do new songs a few times each tour..... sorta.
Fuck.
What am I doing with my life? Wait- scratch that. The blisters on the palm of my thumb and top of my fingers show me I had a great time playing music at the gas station for antifreeze and oil yesterday. But goddamn it I missed the first lucky old sun.
Fuck.
kiss kiss, glad y'all were there. I expect hugs to transfer the glow as soon as I get to lot today. This is like when I missed the first '69 show by a day but I was younger then.........
sigh.
fuck.

Playin my song
miss y'all sooooo much!

Opening with the wheel...... ah...... really awesome looking setlist

Goes to show you never can tell! Glad a bunch of my friends are out west right now to do what I would be doing if I wasn't currently a committed east coaster. RV bit the dust. Bout to head out on foot again. Eagerly awaiting April and our anniversary tour- can y'all believe I haven't left Jesse for tour, yet? Usually I cry and I'd rather be with you, my DSO fam, but now..... well...... it's not July yet and...
Like I said..... goes to show....... bwahahahahaha!
keep rockin, y'all, I'm dancing w y'all in my dreams!!!!! Kiss kiss!

I understand that 100%... thinking you're getting 76 and then get a random Shining Star 6 songs in.
Read my review from the Columbia sc show this past April. I thought they were doing 77 til they did who was John second set
love it! That was my best show ever hehehe
-
Love 76. They played my namesake and I wasn't present. I'm a loser hehe.
when they get me with thinking it's 76 til second set drops w some Jerry band I will have the next best show ever lmao.
Miss yall already

It was cold? Bwahahahaha that's why I left my jacket on til partway thru bertha, huh? I thought it was just where I was in front of wharf rat table with the draft lmao. During second set we went up to to tippy tops and it was quite pleasant weather and amazing drum sounds up there- like I have never heard! Very acoustically awesome place with definite sweet spots for different tones.
we had our girlfriend from home drive us to the show and ended up with a few others in the car as well. And the 3 of us got us all miracles and us girls made it in just as the boys took the stage. Divine! Every day!!!
she was starry eyed at me cause since we had shown up to put fingers in the air in the cold rain I kept getting hugged by people from all over the country since the other boys were down the road with a night off.
Lot reminded me of the Variety in Atlanta at my first DSO show ever- before John left they had a kinda large vending scene but we have worked hard to begin restoring that- shout out to my friends who have been vending dso (which we never make much money at, btw, we all do everything else we do in life to make it to dso where we mostly "lose" money) all these years cause lord knows I got tired of doing it alone and now there are enough of us that I have barely been selling shit- just giving all my crafts away for love of the scene. The point is that we stand there with our wares whether we turn a profit or not bc it's part of continuing the GD experience
cool to see so many at this one- part of why I cried so hard during this Stella!!!
thanks for the golden road filler to send me down south to family for the holidays. May not see y'all til seasons change and a new year has begun.
More review if this show later but I got a lot to say and have to sneak internet around public places since we traveling all the time hehe.
kiss kiss til later!

This was an unexpected show for us. We were grateful for a forums buddy that called last minute to pick us up and all drive away from Boston and towards DSO in a definitive choice that I always make this way
we were late but made it in during duprees. The don't ease was one I have been deeply craving and it was wonderful! Super lovely crowd!
we came in at the end of iko from smoking section and decided, "fuck it" and when Jesse asked me if I wanted to go to my usual spot, I nodded and we made a dash around security blocking the crowded front and when we made it to the second row with me miming my finger in the "please, just one song up front" gesture and the guys who let us in front of em said we could stay all night. So we did. I spent the rest of the show dancing with the loveliest women of all ages as they took turns twirling me and giggling and dancing with me- they tried to speak to me the whole night off n on but sometimes the river keeps on talking and you never can hear a word it say. Sober and everything! Lmao. Body language is my preferred communication during shows, hehe.
hes gone was melting but joyful and the miracle set us up to get 5 miracles for our whole crew the next day, it was so good (next day in 85 and 2017 hehehe). The China doll ripped me away in its gloomy salvation and what happened after was a magnificent blur of this band doing what makes em the only ones that do what they do!!! The crowd absolutely Lost It to daytripper and for the white rabbit filler I found our ride and we did the family aisle dance since security wasn't stopping us at that point.
Excellent times- so grateful for the ride!

We decided to come since we are still around.... see y'all there
kiss kiss

My buddy has been to the cop shop there more than once in a night and is still excited to go see dso there every chance he gets. It's about priorities. I sell patches and trinkets and try to keep my mind as clear as possible so I can remember each moment of each show so only recently have I even had questionably drunken show nights. And a lot of places I can't vend. But when everyone I know talks of this spot as a special highlight..... diamond in the rough? It sounds like
EXACTLY
the kind of place I love dso playing. It brings the light.... sunny side of the street might be dark but we poke around with exceptional grace
and plenty of flailing.
See y'all brave ones there bwahahahahaha

Learn to duck? I dunno what to tell ya..... we live in a police world. But somehow.... we will get by
not Like I will ever go to Dewey again...... but I will try anything at least once every few lifetimes hehehehe

We got live free or die plates
some things are essential to life. And I know when I am not in New Orleans lmao..... excited to play a few days in a row and Rude I will be sad if u don't come- even thru scary stories so many agree it's a fave must not miss.......... kiss kiss y'all

My heart is like a wheel........... thanks for finally doing it! Sigh. If our RV had decided to roll its wheels we woulda been there despite the foot but sometimes you buy a spaceship that doesn't go to the moon..... and remains in Charleston forever

i guess what I'm trying to tell you is you BLEW MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!
even from Arkansas. What is space but an anomaly of time........
let me roll it to YOU (next time- cause next time we will do parking lot jams bf and after and subject you to the experience of living here with all of you!)
