Island Bro

Similarly to you Tea,,my first concert was ‘82 and I was 11 but it was for The Who…during their ‘82 “Final Farewell Tour” which is pretty funny considering they’ve had many tours since then 😂

Wow…that’s a big pillar to fall. His music has had a profound impact on me going back to a very young age. I’ve felt that his 1971 solo album, “If I could only remember my name” (which Jerry, Phil, Mickey and Billy contributed musically to and Jerry actually helped arrange and produce), lands in the category of one of the finest albums made. I’d say that about a lot of albums actually,,including Deja Vu as well,,,but that solo album is truly something special… Anyway,,thank you Croz for your immense musical contribution to this world 🙏🏼

My oh my…that there’s a true beauty!

Indeed,,,and the final St. Stephen ever played ups the ante on it even more 😉

Right on Tea and son! Cool footage to see for those of us less familiar with the sport…your son is rocking it!

Classic tape… Kind of pandemonium on stage as they try to relay to the docs out in the crowd where the woman in labor is located… Finally Bobby is like, “Well,,somewhere around here a lady is giving birth”,,,,and then the music kicks back in . so somewhere out there there’s a person that was born in Golden gate park at that unusual 75 show…!

Damn indeed!

What an amazing adventure this band has been on!!

Big hugs to ya Doc!! I look forward to seeing your smiling face on the dance floor out there somewhere before too long!

What did they play in Minneapolis last night??

The dude definitely had something going on… Thanks Jerry

Yeah it seems to be leaning towards Warf but think we would just stay in the city and not rent a car though that Lake Tahoe scene could be some fun for sure Haven’t been to the Warfield since back seeing Jerry Band in early 90’s…sweet theater from the bits and pieces I can remember 🤓

Vacillating between the 3 Colorado vs Warfield…gonna be one or the other but not both….hmmmmm…. Looking forward to when they start doing multi-night runs at Mission ballroom in Denver,,,place sounds awesome. Was imagining the typical pre-Covid February run starting up in the NW…but….once again facing how things change over time…

Caught Grateful Shred last night in Seattle…well named band…great vibes and jams Loose dudes, ready to rip They play again tonight and So does Bobby and wolf bros which I’ve been wavering on but I think we finally figured out our strategy… Get cheapest tix we can find for Bobby at Paramount theater (glad we didn’t already buy anything),,sit and pay homage to Bobby and enjoy the old ornate theater (while visualizing DSO bumping up to there from the Showbox at some point),,take off at set break so we can catch all of grateful shred and DANCE the night away…! Should be a well rounded night 😎 Shred is playing night 9 tonight out of 10 days up the west coast…like old school DSO days when everyone was a bit younger..!!!

Hear ya Tea,, Things change over time, indeed Thankful that the band and these forums are still rolling, though ✌🏼

Rick,,thank you for taking such an honest step and humbly sharing your story to that level. That helps others understand but also inspires us all to do the same. I simply want to say that when I saw you at Skull and Roses last Spring,,though our moments were very few and fleeting I could feel some sort of significant shift in your being and a grounded clarity that felt good to me…..so I’m just reflecting that back at you…and offering words of support to keep leaning in that direction…keep your hands on the wheel and keep steering towards kindness, love, family, responsibility, honesty, sweetness, and yes—ecstatic realease on the dance floor! You totally have it in you and it’s amazing to witness you steering hard in that direction… And a good reminder for me to do the same… I’m thankful you are still in this world and stepping up to this awesome opportunity to create the good life you envision!!! 🙏🏼

Loving the looks of that setlist…must’ve been a very special night with the fun-meter pegged out at 11… 🤩

Definitely didn’t recall that they had played it a couple times back in ‘14…dig the resurrection occurring after the 8 year gap 😉

Great elective show…hot as heck for first half of first set,,They said it was 110 degrees on stage when they started but stage became shaded several songs in,, Eugene crowd always a hoot and good vibes all around with spacious dancing opportunities out in grass or closer in on the warm concrete… Loved each song while played during first set but was perhaps a little disjointed in the overall flow of the set,,but that’s to be expected with the intense heat… Got down to somewhat reasonable temps during the set break, Second set was a ripper,, The Help-Slip-Frank-Speedway-Women Smarter was just brilliant,,,and to get Low Spark and Shape I’m in for the same show was some damn good nourishing gravy… Really really fun night outdoors in Eugene 😎

Thank you Tea! It was a very special night of spacious outdoor dancing in a kickass amphitheater that holds 8,000 and had about 3,000 there…show played to absolute crisp perfection,,Band seemed to love playing on the nice large stage. We kind of felt like a 2-3 night run in Bend might be the ultimate… Great river swimming in the heat pre-show. Primo venue. I love love loved this night all around and to get the piece of my heart just threw it right over the top… fantastical Saturday night!!

12/15/86,,,Jerry’s come back show after the coma…(no filler—out of time) somehow the Let it grow helped clear out majority of the smoke and the sky was blue dreamy little outdoor venue for our favorite band 😎

Yeah Days Between has a dreamy lineup for sure 🤩

Gettin’ stoked for some DSO vitamins this week… First trip back to PNW for the band since Feb ‘19…that’s quite a while! They’ve had brief outdoor appearances out this way before for a show here or there over the years (most of which were one set at festivals) so it will be sweet to get 3 amphitheaters in a row in Oregon after the unusual start in Tacoma at interesting looking old theater that has recently been getting itself back online… But dang the temps will be hovering at high high 90’s for all of these….hydration priorities emerging… Happy summer everybody 😎

I’m hoping some video shows up…would love to see Scottie doin his thing with the gang …wow have a blast out there, y’all!!
