Weather Command

Decided about 5 months ago to attend Mountain Sol Festy in Felton, CA...essentially Santa Cruz mountains....GRANOLA central.....easily the most hippy vibe I've even been apart of Ran into JK...so glad he has found a home with JGB....sick shit...He needs to be turned up..reminded me of Furthur a bit but Phil wasn't there? Next night GGW was loud and on point....must mention Billy Strings and Turquaz...Turquaz is amazing!!! Then onto Bobby and Wolf Bros....so raw, so good...the dance was epic....saw some dso peeps and the Bobby tour friends of course...need to go out west more often...energy there is REAL! Bobby ended night with Brokedown..only hours before RH's death...so sad but what timing.....We will miss him so much but songs are forever!!!!! LOVE

...really hard to explain how great this band really is....Red Rocks is mind blowing...so many of my bestest friends were unable to attend and were sorely missed....you know who you are! Lets plan on next year ..please!! There has to be 500 people I've met over the years who are close friends....we all know we cannot always make it to every show but this one(s) are can't misses!!! Love to you all!!

Your crew makes it even more than it is..tonight was one of the best dancing sessions EVER!!!

Sick show Period

Having difficulty getting tickets ( prepaid for ) from axis for RR show...is it just me?

Sorry for late response...theyre gone...been gone...just do t check.in here much anymore

I never look at the setlist beforehand...but, have an idea of what might be played..total buzz kill when they announce the show...

One of the 10 shows I saw this tour...the best dancing experience for me.....lotta tension at show..cops and dogs..venue was not my favorite.

I will have 1 set of 3, maybe 2..but, will have to make this happen first night of boulder....its my buddies tix and he wants money for them...that is the catch......so. if anyone is looking for the 3 pack...advise

This show was SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Morning Dew could have ended show and would have been okay....w0w!!!!

I think I speak for most...LOVE that group of performers just not right in our dance mix...Thanks buddy for chiming in! Hit em straight!!

I want to thank all of my camp mates for being so kind. We had maybe the best Jubilee of all time. They all have been spectacular but this one was special! THANKS to Rob Koritz, Dino English, Rob Barraco, Cotter Michaels, Matt Greer, Nick, Tanya and Ellie ( Band Friends ) for stopping by to say hello....The list of other friends is too long to mention but you know who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...You truly make the difference when you stop by to say hello and hang out a bit. We had music 2 of the three nights with Sammy and the Subtleties.....Cant wait to do it again...I'm considering doing this next swing of shows....LOVE!!!

The fire dancers need to go back to vending area so people waiting for disco pizza[ thanks michelle!! ] have something to wstch while eating...what a terrible place to waste on that!! WE COME TO LISTEN AND DANCE!!

My favorite of the 3...scarlet > fire mind blowing!!

that there was a special show...folks

I'm not a big picture guy...learned that from the GD days..always avoiding pix...not so much anymore but don't take many..

thanks chuck!! love you buddy...

Over the years, I have seen a ridiculous amount of shows but have only done one entire tour start to finish. The most recent SE tour was the one!! 3 of us did the entire tour along with the band and crew. BTW, before I go any further, thanks to DSO for all that you do. Its' not easy! Yes, you get paid but it is a grind! Truthfully, I am blown away with their amazing attitude and willingness to put on excellent shows night in and night out! AMAZING! 4400 miles give or take, starting in Wilmington, DE, 14 shows total to include Bobby and the Wolf Bros ( Jacksonville, Florida ) the night before DSO's opener in St. Pete, Florida. My favorite venues were St. Augustine, Florida, Pompano Beach, Florida ( been there multiple times to see DSO before ), Tallahassee, Florida and Wilmington, NC ( been there for DSO as well ). Of the 14 venues, St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Birmingham and Nashville were the only new venues for me. Alabama and Tennessee were 2 states I had never seen DSO in ( after 18 years ) ! 3 venues I did not care for were Asheville ( Orange Peel ) and Charlotte ( Fillmore ). Asheville's employees are cool but the place is always packed with little dance room ( boo ) and Charlotte's employees are a mess but overall room is ok....Raleigh also has employees I am not fond of but am okay with the room. The rest of the venues I like! My favorite show was St. Augustine. I felt the band was feeling it that night and after speaking with a few band members to include Cotter, they felt the same. All the shows were good but that was my favorite. The trip was shared with many friends. My best buddy was with me the entire time, Luna, my pup. She is a kind dog, loving and patient. She was ready to be off the road at the end as was I. Luckily for both of us, she and I share an RV which gives her a comfortable place to rest during the shows. The weather was unbelievable the entire time. Never a night did I need AC at all and only checked into one RV campground in Nashville. Thanks To Chris and Nina for being around for every show as well... These two kids are good people and fun to be with and truly DEADicated. I met 4 new people on this tour who apparently do their fair of shows but had never met them before for some reason? Cynthia, Renee, Tatiana and Adrian, I look forward to dancing with you all again...Thanks for sharing your space with me!! It meant a lot! Sammy, Aaron and Carl all drove down for the first 5 shows in Florida which were my favorite shows for so many reasons. Scotty flew into south Florida to hook up with Tatiana and Adrian. They did the 2 Bobby shows to include the first 5 DSO shows as well! My great friend Kevin and his wife were at St. Augustine only but I was able to stay with them for several nights in Jacksonville so that was nice. Rick and Whitney did several of the Florida shows and had their beautiful girl with them..OMG!!! The Perrottis were at the majority of the Florida shows ( love this family so much ) but had to run their deli each day so talk about a grind, back and forth from Orlando to each show each night!!! I put so much value on the Florida DSO runs because of my long friendship with this amazing family! Steve, Carrie and a bunch of other Sand Jammers were along for a few of the shows. I run into Sand Jammers everywhere... They must think I'm crazy, seeing me pretty much everywhere? Nantucket, John and Debbie all flew in for one show..Nantucket, St. Pete, John and Debbie, Pompano!! Awesome!! My buddy Gary from Jam Cruise, his cousin David Jonas ( friends with John, Debbie, Jeff Mattson and Cotter ) both went to Pompano as well...Nice meeting David and having Gary along. Gary and I played golf the next day which was superb. Brian also flew in for first 4 shows as well. THANKS so much to Jay Price for his kindness and generosity. Jay was able to do the last 8 out of 9 shows. I have an amazing time with this guy every time. He is a GRATE guy. His favorite show was Raleigh! ...Mar, Jerry and his wife were at several of the Florida shows....also, Frank...he flew in from Colorado for the first 4 shows as well. I love our family! I have met hundreds of people over the years and funny enough, have introduced many of these awesome people to each other and feel lucky to know each and every one of you. Rude and Meli made it to one show. Jen and Joe were at a few. Tea was at a few..Steph at one... Geez, I know I am forgetting some folks and feel bad about it Anyway, I felt like I had to put this together after doing my first entire tour in 18 years...I figure I have seen somewhere between 500-600 dso shows...I know, big discrepancy there but its been so many...only 239 GD shows but dso has been an obsession but pleazin... BTW, the best dancing along the way....St. Augustine, Orlando ( Matt and Elle were both rocking it hard in Orlando ) and Atlanta.....so much good!!!! BTW, thanks to Matt, the new tour manager...what a GRATE guy. DSO is lucky to have him and so are all of us... LOVE you all.. Peace.
