One of my most exciting moments in seeing DSO was seeing the first "Who Was John" in Covington in 2013. I also really enjoyed seeing electric "Big Iron" in 2012

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!

Listen to the stagger Lee on the original show 2/7/1979, then compare it to the stagger lee a week before. I’ve never heard Garcia so slow before or after. DSO did a fantastic job, but the set list they played was: Set 1: Don't Ease Me In ; Mama Tried > Mexicali Blues ; Jack-a-Roe ; Looks Like Rain ; They Love Each Other ; New Minglewood Blues ; Stagger Lee ; I Need A Miracle > Bertha Set 2: Scarlet Begonias > Fire On The Mountain ; Dancing In The Street > drums > Black Peter > Good Lovin' Encore: U.S. Blues Filler: Love the One You're With

I just want to say thanks to the band, Tim Walther productions, and everyone of you I met up with-I had a spectacular weekend, one of my favorite Jubilees yet. The shows each night were perfect, the crowd was perfect, and that Waffle House in Jeffersonville, Ohio on the way back home to KY was perfect (as always-its the standard by which all WH should be judged). As long as Jubilee's continue, and as long as I can, I'll spend my memorial day weekend there. Thank you!

My understanding is that if you are parking by day and staying elsewhere at night you do need to purchase the $25 car camping pass in addition to your regular ticket

Actually I got home from my daughters theater performance and caught the second set from home ala streaming

The drums & space really spoke to me…really well done

My lovely wife will be singing backup for Lemongrass on Saturday so be sure to give any early dance moves you have to spare…see you soon 🤠

I’ll take the heat. The cold rain can go away

I remember Barraco fondly playing the Walrus during Phil tour 2001..always a good time

In my Grateful Dead tape collecting and listening career, 1976 shows are my least favorite. They still are, but DSO covering them has made them waaaaay more interesting. Especially when Jeff plays the Travis Bean

edit the comments about last years rains and multiple fests-I see that Rude already said that. I'm thinking its been less rain so far this year than last, thankfully

I love that original show- I would have enjoyed seeing this one

After I got off tour in 2001, I got married, had 3 babies, worked full time while full time getting undergraduate & graduate degrees and we had no family for 600 miles. Then as we worked our way into better jobs, we had many of the same experiences of no money or no time off that was allowed. All that to say: I totally get it. Even now, though I have more free time and flexibility, with my oldest about 20 & in college, my 14 & 16 year old are happy and healthy and still in school & participate in stuff that keeps us really busy. But I wish you luck on her time off for your mental health excursions, because trust me- I know how helpful they are

I just got a room and a ticket for June 17 in Asheville. Haven't been to the Salvage station, looking forward to a post-Jubilee pre summer show

When I was touring full time, Summer 2001 was my only time I really caught SCI. The summer tour tangled a bit with Phil's tour and I coordinated a few of their dates in the West/Midwest in the midst of Phil tour to make traveling easier. The SCI shows in Colorado & midwest in Summer 2001 were fun-the audience was really young and different than Phil tour, and we were some of the only vendors for many of those shows-not too unlike DSO shows.

Last time DSO played the Taft Theatre in Cincy, this happened to me. The ticket itself was like $17, but the ticketmaster/live nation "FEE" was $25 or more. Insanity

"There are many other great types of music I'd rather listen to than Phish or other jambands" Absolutely

Totally agreed. Also, the entire jam band genre seems completely derivative of Phish

Hope the Accuweather Jubilee prophecy comes true cause this has been the coldest spring I remember as a whole in quite some time

I was a teenager listening to the Grateful Dead in the early 90s, and a friend suggested I might like Phish, since I liked “alternative” music and the Grateful Dead. I bought “A Live One”, and got some live shows on tape, like 7/25/92. I liked it causally, but the whole humor in music thing doesn’t do it for me, so if you play me guitar solos and jams, I’d prefer that. After the 1998 Further Festival/ The Other Ones tour ended in shoreline, I did a smattering of Phish summer tour dates making my way back east. Haven’t gone to a show since pretty much ambivalent but occasionally listen to select concert jams of theirs from 1992-1998

The meyer sound at Legend Valley is top notch. Glad you are coming!

I feel lucky that Lexington KY has a good music scene for a town this small. Caught Brandon Bowlds & Friends last night and it was wonderful music.

Was in NYC over the weekend and saw Miles Davis bassist Marcus Miller play the last show of his residency at the Blue Note Jazz club. He had old Miles Davis band mate Mike Stern sit in on guitar. It was incredible!

It shouldn’t be a suprise, I’ve been to every Jubilee, but officially, I’m locked and loaded for the Jubilee, see you soon
