Rude

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.

Beach July 4-14 staying with Chris on the 4th at the halfway point. In a few years when he’s a bit older he will do the 3 week beach run like my brothers kids and we may try to pop one of the 4th of July mini runs. There was a stretch where we were the only 2 doing those whole 6-7 show runs. I know we were the only ones that finished at summerfest on that scorcher temperatures run.. I think we were also the only ones to do San Diego through redrocks too. I loved those mid summer runs. I think Scottie did some of that and remember us asking if he wanted to do deadco shoreline with us since we were in the bay already and he was like no way. That is my all time fav mid summer run. We also saw moe and phil and friends do a Sunday 2p-8p show at the beach park in perfection weather. Had brunch at terrapin crossroads and Phil was walking around the restaurant saying hi to peeps but didn’t stop at ours lol. Just thinking about that summer makes me giddy inside.

Looks like Colorado got the goods this summer.

guessing you missed the joke

lol every one I was gonna say is up there. Bucket, promised land and NFA. I didn’t think of the ball reference songs. Good ones!!

Jonathan would be a terror at 10pm. He can’t stay up that late. If the Asheville were at 6 then maybe but no way we’d have any fun as he goes where he wants and we’d have to follow. Luckily your kids stay put.

Europe and Hawaii aren’t doable. We don’t have a nanny……

5/17 Asheville salvage station 5/18 Asheville salvage station 5/19 Wilmington NC i was just told we are doing the Asheville ones even though the weekend before jubilee……The only reason I’d contemplate it right before we head out the Thursday after for jubilee is I’m guessing our non jubilee Carolina’s friends will likely be in attendance.

gotta hop in a car and make a road trip. Dso hasn’t played a show less than 2 hours from us in around 20 years. We fill the tank with gas and open Waze and enter the address where we are going then follow its instructions and voila, we are at a show so many hours later!!! It’s worked 200+ times and counting. Before they came up with GPS, it was impossible to make shows but now it’s not!! 1st step is get to a car lot and purchase a car then install a good GPS on your smartphone. If no smartphone, pick up a Garmin at Best Buy. I’m still holding onto my gsrmin stock hoping people will stop using phones and go back to standalone GPS. Can’t get any worse than losing 95% of its value but I was sure that Amazon was a trend and doubled down on Sears.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php/?video_id=1151262165863481 ser 1 here’s a link to night 1. High quality board. 1:02:00 is the viola. All songs were 67-68 on album but this was played super funky after the lyrics definitely not the style of 67. Lots played also in what I call the surfer style like cold rain which the drummer prob played more beats than ever on that one Set 1 The Golden Road, Beat It on down the Line, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Cold Rain and Snow, Sitting on Top of the World, Cream Puff War, Morning Dew, Minglewood Blues, Viola Lee Blues Set 2 Cryptical Envelopment> The Other One> Cryptical Envelopment> New Potato Caboose> Born Cross-Eyed> Alligator> Caution> Dark Star> St.Stephen> William Tell Bridge> The Eleven> Turn On Your Lovelight, Death Don't Have No Mercy, We Bid You Goodnight E. Easy Wind ed also requested Samba in the rain for night 2 and if it was played like this, people wouldn’t be like oh no. Muck of set 1 was Ed’s idea. Plus Charlie’s voice helps make this samba way better. Peeps were getting down. Here’s the link to hear a really good samba https://www.facebook.com/video.php/?video_id=414383627637499 oh and listen to the promontory rider at 3:07:30 in the 2nd night link right above. That thing built big and Charlie’s voice is strong. There are several good dead bands without any decent vocalist but he’s got some great chops.

it’s the albums Grateful Dead anthem of the sun live dead. id have never guessed not knowing the album order

March 1, 2024 hyryder mousetrap. Sleuth what this is. I was like set 1 played 67 style. What is this. Someone hat to tell me. Golden road BIODTL Cold rain Siting on top of the world Cream puff Dew Minglewood Viola Cryptical Suite New potato caboose Born cross eyed Alligator Caution Dark stat Stephen William tell Eleven Love might Death don’t We bid you goodnight Easy wind

We are at Hyryder Indy right now with Tea, toomuchfun and duck and it’s Tea’s 1st show and everyone is wearing Hi my name is Ed nametags!!! Everyone knew he was seeing his 1st show as he’s their biggest FB fan and it’s like we are with a rockstar. They grabbed him to go backstage and peeps buying him t-shirts as some thought he was an AI bot. This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. The band even put him in bill Walton territory asking him to put together a setlist even though they nixed it as he went way too deep 😂. Several peeps here came up to me asking if I was him b/c I was a black haired dude they didn’t know. The dude who thought he was a fake account told his buddy I owe him a shirt since I thought he was fake guessing the songs so fast. Even chicks are wearing the hi my name is Ed name tags lol. Fun times with a bunch of Dso friends and my bae meili. Have a great night guys

nspiration, move me brightly Light the song with sense and color Hold away despair More than this I will not ask Faced with mysteries dark and vast Statements just seem vain at last I don’t know if this was hunters intent, likely not, but this line makes me think the narrator just dosed. This pretty perfectly describes a heavy dose coming on.

One of the best to ever do it on the court. If he had depth the opponents would be gasping for air as his teams would drop 30 on you in the last 8 minutes.

Oh boy since I’ll be at the beach I decided to play this show. Seems a good show until might as well and prob the worst job Jerry ever did remembering the lyrics. I was like wow he was completely winging it like he hadn’t sung it in years. He’s forgotten more lyrics to an Althea but maybe not might as well. I don’t envy the band having to go soooo deep into a catalog written by a poet. We covid do a Katy Perry tribute with 2 times singing along to any song but with Hunter, it ain’t happening. There may be a few if you that can sing Everything song perfect but I ain’t the one. Edit: and if you are playing the show, use the matrix from John A’s 4TB drive. The SBD levels aren’t great and the matrix brings it together better. I assume you are all listening to his mega drive as you sip your cocktails tonight. This show does have a SBD, matrix, and 2 different audience recordings although not one of his personal aud ones. Only a few not available anywhere else did he deem worthy of being included on the drive. Speaking of that I believe mine is about in need of an update with all the releases since this time.
