Rude

I was referring to the chick not able to walk much less dance in those crazy high heeled shoes. I don’t go to “scope out chicks” but I recall we all had a laugh at her not realizing it was a 4 hours dance party and she had no idea evidently with how she was dressed. it’s not the money either. I can afford to do every show this year if I wanted to abandon my kid. It’s too hard to take a week off overseas. Flights are also rough b/c we have to head to the airport at 4am to minimize the time the grandparents have him. He’s a mega handful. It’s so tiring to hop on flights right now and with my parents gone Memorial Day, it made it a lot harder to figure the logistics of it. By the time jubilee is over we will have hit 11 DSO in 6 months plus 3 phish shows. Thats as much as we can do. She doesn’t have the vacation days to do Europe either. We allocate 6 for the beach and 10 for Dso every year. We’ve done several late night drives home after shows to save those precious vacation days. Before her hospital job we were on the road 12 weeks a year at our peak. If you remove the northeast we were doing 2/3 of the shows for several years and did every Colorado show for 3 straight years pre covid when the wall came down.

maybe one day Dso will want to do a vacation week in Wilmington NC in the summer with a 10 day residency. Hawaii, Europe, Jackson and next Wrightsville beach that many say rivals Hawaii. Only way to find out is to do 6 shows in 7 days. It’s no Stage on Bay in Savannah, but nothing rivals that venue. Stage on Bay. The views. Wow. Very few burnt out cars sitting there a decade. Not many venues have less than 2 burnt out cars with years of grass growing up around them. They only had 1. The razor wire was in great shape for the parking lot. You can tell they prided themselves in it. I love Dso bro. But I can’t do them all. Beats Omaha? What about the high heeled chick. You don’t see that at shows.

they changed the movie. Now Jonah Hill is playing John Mayer, the real Jerry. it took him 3 months to get the facial expressions of Mayer spot on. Plus he has to go to makeup for hours a day and wear a specially fitted corset to look like Mayer.

That looks cool. I just don’t know why they won’t speak American in France. We should have kept it after we invaded it. Why invade a country if you won’t keep it. But all they make is wine and croissants so we didn’t see the strategic interest in making it the 51st state since no one had the money in the 40’s to buy expensive wine. We could have taught them how to be real men like Americans and speak a real language not some made up one. There’s a reason Jesus came to America in the 1800s and talked to Joseph smith. Jesus was an American the whole time. I mean the Bible is in English b/c that’s what everyone spoke. But no. All the Louis’ decided to make up some gibberish language no one understands. Their marketing peeps are a very high level like Vegas making Paris “The city of love”.bravo marketers. I guess dark star is trying to teach the Parisians some culture. It’s like a mission trip to expose them to real art. It’s also hard to even buy tickets b/c you don’t know what you’re buying plus the weird money they use. Are the tickets $1 American or $1000. No one knows. Any country with 2 currencies is not to be trusted. It’s even worse in England. Quid, pound, euro. It’s all to scam foreigners and be careful in England b/c everyone throws acid on everyone and not the good kind. I’ll stick to the safety of Chicago and Atlanta where if robbed they just want dollars.

All we need to be successful is to draft what turns out to be the best player in the 1st 3 rounds and that once a decade 7th round pro bowler. Jerry jones is being sneaky signing no one who’s le letting starters leave. It’s deception and 4D chess. His horrible 2023 draft class will now become 1st and 2nd team all pros. He wanted them to all come along slowly and for the ones that are injured use his surgeon that will make them even faster!!!! He plays the long game. 29 years and back to the superbowl.

Actually my funny valentine would prob be a Jeff and Barraco space.

it would be tough to do Merle and Jerry stuff as it was sooo much material. Would love to hear Dso do my funny valentine

do they ever do any 73 shows. Love that Jerry jazz.

I’ve felt like I was trippin while completely sober from crazy jams before.

im all for more of The band. I’m also waiting for the bust out of Wilin’. That’s a perfect jubilee bust out or maybe fine tune in Nashville. Gotta think Easy to slip was just a warm up for willin. But you’d probably want Brent harmonizing on it and when he died it was all she wrote for Willin’ in my alternate history book.

we brought her Bose wave radio to the hospital and jammed the whole 24 hours up til birth. Unfortunately they had to do a C section so we had to go in an operating room and I wasn’t allowed in until they were about to pull it out so no music. Lots of covid rules and stuff in Dec 2020. What was weird was the nurse said I didn’t have to wear a mask in our room even as nurses and doctors were coming and going and this was in the height of mask hysteria and in a hospital. I brought this face shield as it was acceptable and less bothersome and she’s like you don’t need to mask or meili. We were like sweet. I brought a little flask of good whiskey for the overnight before the birthing and got a bit buzzed too. Those birthing suites are huge and soundproof mostly so we really jammed. She did those Maryland drive in shows 6 weeks before he was born so he got music and she was her crazy dancing self with no slowdown. I was like maybe don’t jump up and down continuously lol. She conceded that dance style lol. She was also like shows sober are just as fun which is completely true. The music is the buzz.

We may be able to pull off 6 of 7 shows. Asheville x2, Nashville then 3 jubilee. Luckily my mom is begging to keep boss baby as she has to go to a graduation on Memorial Day weekend so she can grab him Asheville weekend and her parents jubilee. The Nashville will be a babysitter from 5p-2a as it’s an up and back on Tuesday but man that’s sorta rough considering we are leaving Thursday early am. The day after a night drive home is harder and harder as the years catch up and having to eat ADD meds to pull off the overnight drive. Then pack Wednesday then hit the road the next day. I was gonna just pass on Asheville and do Nashville and Jub but that made momma bear mad and gotta keep her from being grizzly so we will see.

lockdown babies have a way of killing travel. I’m guessing the last lockdown babies before 2020 were maybe during the Cuban missle crisis or at least in my town considering the United States enrichment corporation was the 2nd Russian target after Oak Ridge. On US60 on the way there, almost every home has an underground bunker and there’s 1 that has this old conversion van at a 45 degree angle sticking out of the ground with 2/3 buried. You open the back doors and that’s the entry to the bunker. Those would be morning Dew babies.

but to do it justice they would need your remasters you edit bit by bit. We’ve seen you work listening to a song then being like this note should be 00101101011101 and doing your binary edits. It was like watching the matrix. You were grooving to 1’s and 0’s with a bottle of chateau lafitte Rothschild with a decayed label that was supposedly one of the last bottles from 1955. Its always interesting to watch the masters at play.

John A will curse me but I’ve never been a fan of the Healy ultra matrix. I’d guess it’s b/c I never liked his boards. Maybe the matrix improves the overall feel of it but on the John A 4TB hard drive v12.0.3 that’s the only option besides straight auds for some of the late 80s with almost all 87 and 88 exclusively ultra matrix if you want a board. It does give you the sound of an arena if you wanna close your eyes and get taken back.

got my 1st one at the electric factory new years run I think 2016. I figured the song name from the lyrics but had zero clue about it. Besides Terrapin, American beauty and skeletons(not a real studio album, I never listened to any dead studio stuff so didn’t know even though probably heard it once before. I thought it was pretty badass. Skip was singing it and I was pretty new on the Dso bandwagon but that run capped my 1st 30+ show year and it was Meili’s 27th show of 2016 helping create the monster she is today. Half the Mondays now I’m expecting the text saying going to see stolen faces for an up and back ifot grateful Monday in Nashville. See you around 1:30am. We were just trying to figure out when everything really clicked for her and the agreement was July 2-4th 2015 Chicago. The July 3rd Dso show at the Vic was pretty empty with all the peeps from the sold out July 2nd show going to see Dead 50 on the 3rd. We wanted Dso more and the place was empty and we had a massive dance area in the pit by the stage and she let go fully and the next night doing dead50 July 4th we enhanced even more and just giggled and danced the perfect 70 degree night away on what was our 2nd anniversary. After that there was no looking back. She was fully integrated into the scene and felt like she belonged vs the earlier shows not knowing the music in a place where everyone was a die hard deadhead considering it was DSO. Deadco has a bunch of tourists but Dso is the hard core heads. Her sister is going to see deadco Vegas and she said Dso is just a cover band. I’m like Deaco is a cover band ffs and nowhere near the level of DSO or several other dead bands if we want to go there. But considering we barely look at the bands during a show, the music means more than seeing the person play it. We are all people. I’ve just never been a star fucker. I respect the talent level but everyone has different talents. On that note, I would have loved to hang with Jerry for a few days and talk about everything. I’d be star fucked by Jerry no doubt and probably tiger woods.

Nice we get a local Nashville show on Tuesday pre jubilee. Pop the short 280 mile round trip post work and be in bed by 230am. Boom.

it’s never miss a show bro!! I’m sure all were happy besides that dude who thought pride of Cucamonga should never be played live even though it was on live from the mars hotel which at the time I thought was a live album from a show at the mars hotel. It’s not like we had Google.

Deadbase was 10 feet away. Too much work. I guess I recall set one openers of it and not set 2 ones.

A 2nd set Bertha>good lovin. Did the dead ever do that 2nd set?

Dso doesn’t need to memorize a dead show note for note. They just need it transcribed and play the sheet music note for note. It’s a lot harder to flirt with the groupies when your eyes are on sheet music. I know when I played sax in jazz band jamming out some chick corea that when reading music you aren’t aware of all the hotties screaming and wanting backstage at the high school gym. But what girl can resist a Chick Corea composition. None.

Great interview. Every time I hear Dino tell a story, it’s pretty much the exact way as the last. For me so many details change over time. I even had an argument with Chris about him being at jubilee when he said he wasn’t that year(he was). Note eatons mention of the nitrous mafia as I couldn’t find the old post where Eaton talked about it destroying the scene and how you’d become persona non grata if you had a tank at any show. Think someone was asking about bringing a tank to jubilee and I said that’s about the only thing besides fighting or stealing that will get you booted in a second from jubilee. There was one year pretty early on at jubilee that we heard a tank going and a swarm of security went on the hunt. but don’t forget the Ticketmaster reviewer who said the dead quit playing those songs for a reason!! From an interview Jerry said he quit playing the eleven b/c it was too hard and they had to practice it too much to keep it in rotation. Maybe Tea can talk to Dso like he did hyryder and have them pull out a 67 show with a fast surfer style cold rain lol.

I’m so glad Jerry jones is going all in this year shooting for a superbowl! Unfortunately he set his calendar wrong and Dallas was the only team who didn’t sign a player in the legal tampering period. We only lost 4 starters so far. But we also have an extra 7th round pick Booyah. Yes we traded our 4th rounder to the 49ers for a failed QB in Trey Lance and added 5mil guaranteed to our books this year. But we have 3 draft picks out of the 1st 200!!! That will be our all in.

Shows are way less important than before. He should be ready for his 1st jubilee in 2028 I’d guess. Getting away fit a weekend here and there is awesome but I’m pretty mentally tired and feel lucky to have gotten 5 Dso shows on fall tour. The drive home Sunday night from Chattanooga sucked but was necessary to get max shows. We will pop Dso every time they are within 6 hours of us as long as weekend. It sorta sucked that we had 5 Dso and 3 phish all in a 1 month period.

You did have a babysitter at jubilee last year. Just sayin. That’s why I joke about the nanny. And I don’t have the money to spare for 2 Hawaii shows. If no baby we’d likely be there but 5k for 2 shows ain’t happening. My parents live at their beach house 3 months of the year. She kept him last weekend but not flying to Hawaii unless staying a week or so and that’s 10k and definitely a no. Plus I don’t want to be away from him for long periods like Europe. We can’t wait until he’s ready for a show but it ain’t now. He’s ultra happy with endless energy. We’d just be chasing him around and good luck with asking him to stay put. It’s 55 outside and he refuses to put shoes on. He’s a barefoot kid as it is but when it’s this temp he considers warm I can barely get a shirt on him lol. The whole beach week last year he was shirtless inside and out lol. He’s bruised all over being so rough but never cries. They say don’t be like oh crap are you ok or it will make the kid think he should cry. Not this one. He thinks it will make us make him stop so he never cries but that’s a product of his wild man personality. Thought a trampoline would wear him down. Nope. I’m getting him into football. Strong safety as he’s gonna prob be 6’ or 6’1” and not skinny like his daddy. My moms freaking out already about wanting him to play football.
