I wish I was a HEADLIGHT on that northbound TRAAAiiiNNNaiN!!! It's the Thursday right before their annual RR event.

It's going to be a last minute decision with all the whirlwind of the unexpected and eyes wide open; however, if I'm graced with the privilege of attending, that I will

Streaming Phish pholks came by the Burl in Lexington. Talked to one cat that was a Goose fan before the drummer died and is disappointed with the return with new members citing they're sounding like Phish now. He's a Phish tour head and that's what he liked about the original Goose, being different. I never added any Goose shows when being prompted by Hyryder fans at mousetrap shows a couple of years back. My concert reportore didn't have room for Goose, but I did like talking when their fans, they just weren't getting a new recruit. I believe this Friday in Lexington will most likely be my last Billy Strings having started with with him back at the JHMF in 2014. I got him to sign my acoustic guitar the third day of the three night NYE run up in Pontiac Michigan because him and his band were staying at the same Marriott hotel that he had set up for fans at a cheap rate with shuttle runs back and forth to all 3 shows. The front of the guitar has a black catfish on it and his William Apostle signature came down nicely off of the catfish's whiskers. He's was psyched about that. Met Duck and sons for the first time there in 12/31/18 and ran into him again at Billy's 2022 NYE show 🎶🔥⚡

BCE 420 Lexington: #1 Shakedown Street, Used to Love Her, The Race is On, Run for the Roses, LR Rooster, BE Women, Wang Dang Doodle, TLEO, Blow Away>Don't Ease. #2: Scarlet>Fire (with Dino English sitting in for one of the drummers), Easy Wind, Waiting for A Miracle, TWLWMYD, Truckin, Black Peter, I Need a Miracle, OMSN. Encore: Sugar Magnolia (no SSDD) The Shakedown opener was reminiscent of the Long Beach '81 with the nice long ending accentuating the keyboard with the guitar interplay. Good seeing DSO friend at the end of the show 〽️

Agreed, anything with Lanois hand in it is good work and I could see where their sound would lend itself to the visual effects of the sphere Thanks the photos Tea! Looking forward to inside reviews when they get their heads back together 🫠

Hopefully dd and dd made it in

https://www.wusf.org/arts-culture/2024-04-18/dickey-betts-dies-allman-brothers-band-dickey-sarasota-county-home Great Southern was his main band outside of Allman Brothers. So sad, really one of the most enjoyable guitarists of our times and he cont'd to play shows regularly throughout the years on his own.

Another ticket raising culprit that's embedded in the music's scene is "Platinum Seating" with it's $300-500 single seats further validating today's standards of $185-900 to see a concert. Recently in Cincinnati Coney Island pool (gathering watering site for thousands of locals for many, many years) got demolished to build a new concert venue. Understand this is right next to Riverbend Music Amphitheatre and PNC Pavilion making it essentially not needed because Riverbend and PNC are hard pressed to sellout their current line ups. I know groups of friends that have looked forward to summer each year to get season passes to Sunlight Pool at Coney Island. It's been a big part of socialization for the Cincinnati community and now being replaced with the new money making industry of concerts. The middle man triumphs once again and also reinforces the phrasing of "the good old days" for concert goers who got in coliseum shows for under $10 all the way through most of the '80s. The local news is not reporting that it was the Cincinnati Symphony that destroyed this social pool venue. I dew believe I'm near the end of going to concerts, or as phrased by Bob Dylan in the first verse of Going, Going, Gone.... "it's the top of the end"

Drove 30 min. out of Cincy for the first quarter through total at 3:08, then left fairly quickly after having experienced the 20 hr drive home from the last one when we went just outside of Nashville 😳. Got home in 25 min this time 😎. There was a plane that timed it perfectly, flying across it right before the sun was completely blocked. Weird how it's been rainy and cloudy up until today and then the forecast shows going back to rainy and cloudy after today. Today was remarkably clear

Encouraged and somewhat challenged, I started with the 5:10 min from 3/15/69 and the last 7:32 from 8/26/71 and listened going back and and forth from these bookends quickly realizing that you two have found the most enjoyable H2H's. (I'm open to any others from the mega drive search)Thanks for the lead though because I got to see how quickly Keith came in to play and understand the introduction of the 5 new songs in consideration of Pigpen's lost material. The five new ones became as paramount from 71-79 as pigpen's were from 65-71 and then similarly with Brent's new material from 79-90. Not so with Vince's 90-95.

https://archive.org/details/gd84-04-06.sbd.willy.10159.sbeok.shnf Fortunately I was able to catch my 3rd show because someone decided not to go at a Friday night house party in Laramie, Wyoming and I took my friend Tim up on the suddenly available Sat night Grateful Dead ticket for the Aladdin Theater in Las Vegas. This adventure was about the road trip. 780 miles each way and having to be back in class by Monday morning. My first two were about seeing the Grateful Dead and were only in Morrison, CO, 9/7 & 9/8/83 a mere 2 1/2 drive from UW. My fourth show was about both the road trip and the excitement of seeing the band again in Syracuse fall of '84. By then I was enrolled in college back in Cincinnati in the professional drama program CCM offered @ UC. As you listen to the end of this show picture Bobby sitting on the edge of the stage swinging his legs back and forth during SSDD🎉🎶🔥⚡also a real drippy space only a week before the last Dark Star for five years. I didn't get my first HSF until it was revived by the Warlocks in '89, even then it took me until 1990 having not gone to 9/6/83😞. But now all is good with DSO keeping things in progress! This here is an outstanding DSDB. Give a whirl without looking at the setlists... there's an unusual surprise after d/s (Edited 4/8/24)~ the comments under this archive recording tell about how closely the band was connected to the audience and illustrate the dedication of the audience to the scene and the band to the audience)

I was at band practice last Thursday night when a friend showed me one of his bootleg dead albums asking if I could find out what show it was from. Both albums had blank white labels on both sides and the cardboard cover was also blank white. He really wanted me to listen to the Little Red Rooster (with both Jerry and Bobby playing slide at the same time) declaring it possibly the best LR Rooster he'd ever heard! One album side was LR Rooster, China>Rider (sounded 80ish, so we figured that was the end of the first set) , the second album side had: Playing>Comes A Time>Playing (figured outta drums), third album side was EST>Eyes> drums, and the fourth album side was 0+0>Alabama Getaway (which we figured the AG to be an encore). Well tonight I looked into Deadbase quickly identifying his 4 bootleg album show to be Uptown Theater 8/19/80 after finding out Comes A Times was only played 7 times in 1980. Turns out he was kinda correct about that LR Rooster as it was the first one played since 1965. Give the 8/19/80 Rooster a listen to hear it before it became Bobby's slide song.

Emmylou's playing on her 77th birthday on Tuesday with special guest Jerry Douglas. I think this is the first time she's played on her birthday and it's a benefit for her dog rescue Boneparte's Retreat and a homeless shelter in Nashville. City Winery, free parking (which is a big deal in Nashville). I hoping for a

Any updates on this???

From the second night at the '86 Greeks > RFK and most of all '87>90 I stayed sober until after each show. Those big shows (NYE, Frost, Greeks, RR, Chinese NY, Mardi Gras, ect) folks would come in from all over the country bringing their finest stash and share with everyone. That first night at the Greeks it seemed like wrapping gauze around my head with everybody's best. That's when I figured I would save the chemical buzzes for when I was at home starring at the carpet and not in the presence of the master. Driven too far and waited too long between shows to not have my full unadulterd mind and body present. The live performances trip me out more than anything else, esp listening through the concert sound system. But when I get back in the after show parking lot, game on! Good for you getting back in tour mode with the upcoming Jubilee run⚡🎶🔥🐉
