Howdy! Does anyone know when DSO usually announces the fall/winter tour dates? I'm so excited to see them in STL again in November!
did they announce a St. Louis show in November? -

Im at a place where I’m less enthused by 1976-1978 setlists, so when I arrived & saw the set up and the Travis bean, I was a little bit let down (while also absolutely loving that Travis Bean tone, FYI).
I decided to make the most of it, trying to place the show. When I head the Bertha>good lovin, I knew it wasn’t 76.
When the three slow songs happened in the first set, I realized it had to be 1978. Why they ever needed three slow songs back to back, I don’t know, but DSO played them like consummate professionals.
Eaton won me over with his slide guitar all night, and Barraco was playing really well. At set break I figured out it was 9/16/78, and wondered how the second set would actually go.
it went fantastic! The energy grew and bounced between a great crowd and the band and it is in those moments I felt some lift off.
it’s a reminder to me: no matter my headspace or what the set list looks like: when the band is playing well, it doesn’t matter what the set list looks like. I had a blast in Asheville!
Thanks DSO!
back in the day when I was taking dead novices and dso virgins to shows, I really wanted them to play this era. Now I’d rather hear dso do originals, mid to late 80’s or old school. Most of my my friends now listen to dead at least in a rotation. They did that 69 at Louisville several years ago and it was a buddys 1sr show. I was worried but he thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was using big boy Pete lyrics that week and I’m like what’s that from. He’s like we heard it in Louisville. Note he likes to go big on getting a buzz on so that era was kind to him that night lol.
I got a forty-five to keep me alive

Looking back at this post, I don’t remember the band ever playing unfinished versions of songs. On the early GSET did they just do the couple minute version missing the hook? Sunshine daydream was like that the 1st 10+ versions

Penn's Peak was great and seemed like old times😀
If it wasn’t the day before thanksgiving, we’d have gone at least once, but we have 2 different family dinners so we’ve never attended. If it was 2 shows on Tuesday and Wednesday we’d be like “hey family. We will be there a bit late Thursday”

Glad you finally get a show, Doc. I miss the super 8 days at black mountain. That one year I got us that mansion was also super fun, but the stress of filling up a $3000 rental wasn’t fun even though it all turned out great. We had like 15 or more people staying there and everyone had a bed lol. Mei mostly chilled in the master bedroom hot tub. That place was great and we were the 1st people to ever rent their summer home. And that kitchen was amazing. You and meili handled most of the cooking duties with Dr B grilling those salmon filets. We feasted and then we hit the farmers market and did it all again the next day.

I got addicted to the Korean beef tacos at jubilee. Beef, Asian slaw and Siracha. Night 3 after start of set 2 I went and got a few and was dancing with the tacos. I rarely eat during a show but by night 3 of jubilee I had a hunger.

Of course gulf oysters are a bit lazier and live a slower life than coastal oysters. Just just b/c they talk different doesn’t mean they are not equal.
Felix’s are really small and amazing. It may be the most famous oyster bar in the country besides acme. We went to acme with Dr B and you couldn’t finish them they were so massive. We made a funny asking if we can take these with us. He said we are required by law to toss them after an hour if on the half shell and if you ate these tomorrow you’d be in the hospital.

Rude,,I’ll try and keep an open mind about oysters from other regions but I do hope I get to introduce you to some super freshies from Hood Canal and Willapa Bay out in Western Wa….top notch bi-valve mollusks I must say…
we had an oyster lesson when in Nola in 2019. There are like 7 regions of the gulf that have different oysters. Acme oyster bar has the monster ones but they have almost no flavor. Felix’s are very small but taste wonderful. Of course I don’t remember names or anything like that considering you kill a lot of brain cells in nola -
Mei’s fav thing is Charlie singing promontory rider. Thats the only song she desperately wants to hear.

I was at the trap last night for Hyryder. Was a last minute decision. But I got myself in the stream mid first set as an Easter egg for any of you who go to watch it. 🤣🤣
I’m sure tea saw you. He doesn’t miss a stream. I think we may do Lazy summer home late august and camp. Indy should be a bit cooler by then. No way you’d want to camp in my area end of august. Likely still in the 90s -
This summer is prob a rough time for dso show attendance with many spending their disposable incomes on the last Deadco tour and their high ticket prices. Wrigley field pit ticket face was 950/ticket with them being sold as golden road vip plus the fan favorite platinum up charge to boot. At least you get a poster with that grand you dropped. Peeps on CashorTrade are trying to sell some of those and of course there are no takers. Football stadiums are set up so much better for concerts than baseball stadiums. I just don’t get why that besides Folsom field, the rest in large format venues are baseball stadium gigs with each having their unique field size and dimensions.
I’ve seen Deadco probably a dozen times and they just always disappoint me. Slowing the tempo on even 1 dance song, just makes me get angry and gets in my head the same way a talker or someone who takes my dance space does. I never start at the back of a venue but usually end of there b/c of no space but at Deadco I want to run from the music. What’s weird is I don’t mind all the other dead bands doing their thing, but deadcos take makes me angry so it’s best I just avoid it for my mental health. Note that I’ve had great times at shows but how can you have a bad time outdoors in Boulder mid summer with great friends. There are hundreds of dead bands that have their own style and play differently than the dead, but Deadco is THE only one who plays dead slower. When Deadco is finished i don’t see any band trying to replicate their take or at least I hope not. A good friend of mine who loves Deadco doesn’t dance so he doesn’t notice the tempo like I do. I can’t get my heart rate up and get that dancers high like I get during dso. Dancing to dead or dso is an actual drug that causes chemical releases in my body but I don’t get that release at Deadco b/c the tempo precludes that.

I loved the song selection night 3 but every night had their moments. I especially loved the energy from the people I know night 1. Night 2 the energy dipped a little bit. I think night 3 was closer to night 1 but night 1 still had more of that jubilant energy. That's contagious make you want to shake your bones spirit. Needless to say these are just my perceptions and maybe my projections. Maybe my energy was lower. But you could feel people shedding some of that negative energy that builds up in every day life. The stress. The sadness. And embracing the joys of being alive and being loved. Night 1 definitely brought that magic for me. So many smiling faces twirling around.
night 1 we were so tired trying to adjust to a night time schedule from a 9pm bed time that mei actually said at drums space she wanted to go to sleep. I made her push on but at 12:45 we were in the tent asleep. By night 3 i had my sea legs and a set 2 start of HSF is my favorite intro. Energy plays a huge part in musical enjoyment-

Definitely night 3 set 2. It was a full on face melter.

If you fly to see every show, many songs get old but you see more shows than anyone likely. I’ll take all the Beatles that the band wants to do dead style. And you had to know we were getting a love the one your with and oh darling this weekend.

So from Steve Parish’s book, it says that right before the show Rock Scully had four valium in his hand, and Jerry grabbed them and took them all before hitting the stage. And there it all began…
thats like slugging a pint of whiskey. With no tolerance, not sure how he could play. -

3/5 is quintessential Jubilee as is Jessica 💫
jessica is still the happiest song ever created in my opinion. -
That set 2 was a face melter. The help>slipknot was out of this world. I don’t actually know if the jam was end of help or if it was all considered slipknot but it went dark and was like you were in an evil trippy jazz club. The Franklins was more melt than just happy dance. I caught myself standing still with mouth agape several times during that pre drums segment. They really jammed those out deep. Easy wind is a top 5 dancer for me but it too was off the chain psychedelic and was very different than old school ones. It was one of those what could have been if dead jammed it in the 80’s. Pre drums many of the songs left the building for large segments replaced with jams you probably couldn’t identify if you didn’t know what song we were in and I love that!!!! Give me all dso originals from now on.
A funny part is I think this is the 1st time dso did 2 originals at jubilee. It’s always 2 recreations and an original so we were like when did the dead ever open with UJB>the wheel. Then blow away comes up and we are like well that’s that.
its been a minute since we’ve seen dso and I forget just how good they are with no weak links. It’s really rare to have a band where everyone is so so good and so in tune with each other at all times. The complexity of the jams were so ludicrous. We’d look at each other like this is perfectly brilliant. Now it’s time for the band to add another semi and travel around with those Meyer sound PA’s. Yes the buildings may crack open but that’s why venues have insurance. The ceiling collapsing would be the worry. Maybe another semi with steel netting to protect from falling debris would alleviate that risk.
and I can’t forget that drum segment. Dino was looping rhythms then moving the sound everywhere and rob was on some trippy sound machine doing the same. We were in a bubble with the sound flying all around us. It was really such a badass drum jam taking advantage of the best PA they play on all year. Someone told me for the lost lands festival at buckeye lake that on the main stage they have 3 of those arrays on each side instead of the 1 10-speaker Panther array on each side at jubilee plus no telling how many additional bass stacks. Now that would be insane to see dso on before we all were forced to learn sign language.

Was an awesome weekend for sure. Night three I staggered up to an opening in the crowd to get ready for DSO and looked around and was just surrounded by forum folks. Putting some more faces to names is always fun (even if I won’t remember the names). I feel bad sometimes for people who chase other dead bands and don’t know how good it can be. We are spoiled. This weekend is evidence. As long as I’m able, I will continue to not miss a jubilee
that night 3 second set was as ridiculous as you can jam dead. There’s no one who can do what DSO does. All 7 musicians are working the interplay masterfully. They are the best in the biz and it’s not really even close. Then add in Cotter to make sure you can hear every instrument perfectly and you get the best dead band in the land and a band who can play dead as well as the dead did it. I don’t want to compare them to the dead since they created it and then there’s Jerry, but some of the jam segments were played as well as the dead ever played if not better.-

Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life…
Take me to a circus tent
Where I can easily pay my rent
Those are two fine selections right there. I remember some deep tracks at JM and Friends in years gone by. I am happier for you all than I can tell.
Send a copy to my lawyer, gonna start a new lifeits cool to hear fun songs like that done jam style. Back at camp we tried to put the setlist together and were pretty close besides a Mattson tune and another we didn’t know and a few switched orders, so this was the corrected version from rob. Everyone usually dances at 30% capacity early in the day, but you couldn’t help but get down at 50% during this. Then we got Bruce and by the end of dso my legs were jelly. I told mei we need to push it as hard as we can and leave nothing here and we did. Now to reap the benefits of all that cardio exercise for a few weeks. After the music Sunday we were reminiscing how we became these dancing machines when doing a whole tour back in the day and we could go as hard as we wanted without tiring and would push the pace to give energy to others. This wasn’t that lol. We were beat. You know that feeling Chuck where you are dancing on air b/c you are living 4 hours of dance a night. Those cardio days seem like a dream lol. About 5 minutes in to a dancer I was on the struggle bus having to slow it way down lol.

We had the best time. Jubilee is just the best. Everyone from staff to vendors to the patrons are just top notch. I’d like to also thank the weather. It was also 5 star. We adopted a staff member with a golf cart to join our camp. He’s like I asked what to do and they said we will radio you if we need you and they never did so we met a new friend with benefits. Having a driver up and down the hill is sweet. He figured why not give peeps a lift to help if nothing else to do so we made a new friend. He was jamming with us during dso in his yellow jacket in the crowd lol. But every staff member had a smile besides maybe the overnight wristband checker at the gate. That’s a rough gig and he was the only staff that ever turned down a swig of good whiskey. I’m like bro you’re the one that needs it more than anyone at 3am in the chill.
one of my favorite shows was Mattson and friends. Lisa, Jeff, skip and rob b and tom b with koritz popping in once in a while. It was such a fun setlist. I love hearing non dead songs done dead style. During masters of war, I couldn’t hold back a tear with Lisa singing it so angry. She really put her hatred of the senseless war and death into her singing and I was choking up the whole time it was so powerful. The last time I couldn’t control my emotions was Lisa breaking out chimes of freedom in Portland 2/2017 but that whole place had tears streaming. Skip singing the Kinks I’m an ape man is just perfect. He brings the fun to it. Rob b smoked the vocals on Dig a pony. I hadn’t heard that song in years. I was like holy shit they are playing deep cuts.
here’s the set list
Jeff Mattson & friends 5/28/23

Giddy up!! Will be on the road in 24 hours or so!!!! Jubilee is the best place on earth over Memorial Day weekend. The best overall place on earth is NOLA during jazz fest but jubilee is a close 2nd. Without Felix’s oysters it’s hard to say best place on earth unless Felix’s starts vending. I’m in for several dozen of the Rockefellers if they read this and decide to come up in 2024.

So this was the 5th time the finished version was played. 4-29-71 was the last time it was played without the hook and they didn’t play it again until 3-5-72.

Holy crap. Saw someone on CashorTrade trying to sell their DSO Was fest tix for $220 each which is face and it’s just dso playing not an all day fest or anything. Those were official platinum for 2nd row center. I’d pay more for DSO than pretty much any band but not paying $220 a ticket. Geez. I can guarantee no one on CashorTrade is buying those

i forgot you saw it live lol. 2 hours away. Huge dso fan. 1st jubilee. You guys were also last men out at 3pm 😂.
edit: if you didn’t know, AC’s buddy woke at noon on Monday. Pretty much ignored security saying you have to leave as he made his coffee with no one else left in the venue. For a couple hours security tried to get them to leave until a stern warning came lol. Had such a good time didn’t want to go lol.
