I knew that Dark Star was coming out at homebase after the Rockford show which I met my home town friend on his way back from Montana. Every show since coming back from Ventura has been really good. The shows leading up to S & R put a lot of pressure on the band. At RL Blair said it got real when plane tickets were in hand. ❤️ "What makes you ryde so high to put a loving star back in an empty sky" ⚡ "You don't change those chilly winds for any other place"

Time wounds all heals The right for bears to arm

Good topic weather. My favorite set was first set third night. Knowing we were getting another elective, esp after the Mattson and Friends set, meant we could get anything (like some more JGB or airplane or anything) that lifted my spirits. Fire from night one was crazy good and long. I started my phone's smart recorder after the first verse sensing we were in a monster. Black Peter makes me want to say thank you to the campmates and other forum folks and unknowns throughout the weekend for being there. AC hotel might as well be the Bates motel after the past year and I needed my friends to come around and good lovin', first night set the foundation for the second night. Meeting people who weren't either the first or second nights, I got to remind them those were warm ups for Sunday Funday. At BMFS three night stand in Cincy, my long time touring friend stated before the third night that he thought the first night was better than the second (admitting he knew more of the songs in the first night) I replied that anytime spent will William Apostle is a blessing, can't denegrate or hail one night better. Same with Dark Star Orchestra, especially at Jubilee. Isn't each show another practice session for the next?

I believe I heard Pink Floyd's Money coming out of space, Jeff did those opening signature licks.

3/5 is quintessential Jubilee as is Jessica 💫

Let's not leave out The Masters of War and Senor delivered by Mattson and Friends and how kind the rail was at all the shows

Don't Ease> Mama Tried>Mexicali US Blues Need a Miracle Bertha Big RR Blues Minlglewood They love each other Looks like Rain Might as well Scarlet Fire Dancin Drums Space Black Peter Good Lovin' February 1979 Love the one you're with

Hartford fest being $135 early bird camping and festival kept me away. Both festivals were a week apart from each other. One of my touring friends from the dead found JHMF and I never recovered from Dark Star Orchestra leaving of Grateful fest at NLRQ. All will be well, esp with this weather forecast compared to what I've read of past Jubilees.

Oh my goodness, that's enjoyable just reading, and the thought of being there... can't explain. This I would like to hear and will maybe soon, thx forums and DSO

Doesn't sound much like a VIP experience 😳

Summit Music Hall is no music hall. It is barely a bar, bathrooms behind the band, I've given it more than it deserves (6-8 visits). Come on down for the October RL show , better yet do the upcoming June 2, 3 shows in the parking lot outside the mousetrap in Indy. They don't have one bobby and one Jerry, Charlie does both , if you caught a show where your bobby guy soloed a lot, you lucked out. The head space is all askew in that bar. Rude, I figured that Facebook might be the only recording. That is the first show of a band other than the dead that I wanted a copy for more listens. No mics, no z-man

My vacation resets on July 31 allowing me a run from Indy through Dayton. 🤞

Bill is credited with curating Friday night's setlist and two fans credited with picking Saturday's. First set from 1973 which was this person's first show and the second was another's first show, like 78 or later. Lightning struck the ground when the rain came in Saturday. Then it hit two more times. Jerry was reaching down so the band played a much needed Wharf Rat. The audio on the Facebook stream from Friday is horrendous. I'm looking for the archive.org to hear if it's any different?

In talking with ET on Sat., he said BW sent them home with 300 songs that could be on his setlist! He then called on Friday, day of the show, and added Twilight! (which they had never played, but rendered it profoundly). Positively 4th got the full treatment. that show's energy was off the hook, esp the second set Fire. both Scarlet and Hell had big lead ins before committing, similar to the 83 buckets, but the scarlet intro, very much like a Fire I went to the bathroom after touch of grey only to return with St Stephen, I did not take my eyes off of them the rest of the weekend.

Not the times I've been there. Band on a stage in the field, audience in the seats between third and home.

Fraze Pavillion would have been choice for the Dayton area. The free GA movement of Fraze would have been nice for dancing and mingling. Looks like Rose is reserved seating with rows separating people? At least I've heard Rose is good and it's OMSN⚡ I didn't mention Springfield at all with theses tours being revealed. Didn't want to jinx it. RL can still be done with the fall announcements.

Saturday May 20 Rockford Illinois ⚡

I was at that and you can see me killing a tall beer in my red Ohio State jacket going in with a hidden bottle of tequila, a D6 and mics. They were promising a set by the band. I taped a lot of the shinagans through out the 3 hr filming. Saving batteries and tape for the set to follow. Alas we got no midnight set. Thought for sure we were getting something special. It was Monterrey and Jerry was back. Next time you're over we can watch it D/C Barton Hall 5/8/23 Set II China Rider Help Slip Franklins D/S Scarlet Fire Morning Dew Terrapin

Frosted Flakes, most likely an afternoon show

There's good heads in Wyoming, glad to see the shows scheduled.

A younger friend of mine was trying to turn me on to them in 1993 when I thought it was whimsical compared to being 10 yrs into dead shows. They played the Cincinnati zoo that year and it was way overcrowded compared to the week before when I took my sister to her first Emmylou show at the same venue. I was turning to ELH right about them cause dead shows were getting crowded. Phish continued to play Cincy moving to the coliseum and doing two night stands where my touring Dead friend talked me into going. It started to get better at a Blossom show when I was wearing my Zeppelin 77 shirt and they ripped a Good Times Bad Times for an encore. Those Deercreek shows 2021 and 2022 had the best shakedown setup and security was super kind. The band has gotten better. Trey and Mike have been able to stay together for Phish and do their own bands on the side. I'm not into the salsa jams but when they opened the third night at Deercreek, tour closer, with While My Guitar Gently Weeps it was quite the celebration. Damn shame they are doing Burgettsburg instead of DC this year , but we're going and finally got pavilion seats for both nights in the lottery. That lawn in Alpine last year was rough.

I have come to appreciate Phish these days more than back in 1993. This article seems so bland that I bet it was written by AI

Rewatching Hyryder's set and for some irritating reason they show the drummer during Charlie's leads. Actually they show everyone else more than him and ET might as well have not been there. There is zero footage of him. WTF, not a del a production, this is not a video from the vault director quality. Overly produced, way too many camera changes annoying and disturbing like most production live music video

Backpacks with false backs worked. When opening the backpack at the door your hands are holding the false backing in place and they're concentrating on what's in the backpack. But, you had to remember to have something in the backpack. One time when going into the Warfield with this custom false back backpack we only had a copy of a physician drug reference guide and a sweatshirt. Not really appreciate as it was summer. We also put equipment in the back of our arms. By lifting up your arms for the search, they'd start patting down on the chest working down to the feet. Most stealth tapers also had a back up D6 going in with another person. The AKG 460's and their battery packs and two 6 foot cables along with a battery converted dbx unit and the D5 was a mound of equipment that was daunting at times when there was only two of us going in

We're coming up early Friday to get the full weekend. I haven't done Jubilee after being spoiled by the ledges for 3 yrs. My wingman is in the process of creating a keg of homebrew and I planning on filling a cooler with three days of vegan delights: quinoa nori roll, jalapeno poppers, tamari tofu fillets, diced up garlic tempeh and if I can figure out how to make my sourdough breads during a work week. He's bringing the keg and I'm bringing the food I was taught at the telluride bluegrass festival to have foods prepared so more time can be spent at the stage. can't wait to hear the sound system they bring in for this event ⚡
