  1. Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
  2. Another one for the ages at the Peak. So much to be Thankful for, so much love in the air. Sold out show and the joint was jumpin'. The most viscous Slipknot I've ever heard. Great elective set. Even with it being packed there was plenty of room to dance (if you know where to find it, just gotta poke around) and getting drinks wasn't that bad either. The line to get in was nothing like I've ever seen. Didn't get up there until like 7:30p and the line to get in was stretched all the way through the lot probably 300yds 4 people deep. Waited about a half hour but I think they got almost everyone in by the start of the show. Glad to see the tradition continue. We can't take this stuff for granted. We've seen how easily things can be taken away.

  4. Was on my ways to the Keys last week when we heard the news. The man embodied the Caribbean spirit. Like Marley was to Reggae, Jimmy Buffet was to island rock. His concert parking lots were up there with GD lot parties. Many parrot heads will be feeling this for a while. RIP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfuMsrQHFgk
  5. Like Rude said no rythem guitar that night for JGB, but the night before they played a full on Dead show and Tom Circosta filled in for Rob E. I thought he did an admirable job. Tom was a Zen Trickster and played with Jeff and I think Rob B too. Pretty sure Rob E. was back at it the next show. Dark Star Orchestra 8-4-23 Weather Report - YouTube
  6. Great show in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the band tuning up and didn't see Rob E. out there panic started to set in. Wasn't sure what was going on. But Tom C. more than held his own. I was thoroughly impressed by the relief guitarist out of the bullpen. The band was spot on once again. High energy on Hey Pockey Way. Skip belted out Tom Thumbs, Terrapin was cooking with gas. My first Low spark which fit the night perfectly. It was probably like 20mins long and could have lasted 40. Bugs tried to carry the band away in the first set but they fought through, along with some roof drippage issues from the earlier storm. Touch was a nice ender. Can't thank the band enough for bringing it 100% every time they step out on the stage. The passion, dedication to their craft is unmatched. Even professional athletes that get paid hundreds of millions of dollars take nights off and just go through the motions. I've never seen DSO not leave everything they have on the stage every night. It's gotta be hard with personal stuff, ailments, travel to just bring it everyday but they do. A rare breed indeed. Praise DSO Dark Star Orchestra 8-4-23 Weather Report - YouTube
  7. Awesome setlist, awesome venue, DSO doing JGB was a nice treat. Each song was jammed out pretty hard. So many highlights. Mission was flawless. They said Rob E. had to get off his feet for a bad sciatica. If DSO decides to come back and headline this festival again (2 nights) it's a no brainer. My first time there and it was pretty pretty good. If you look up chill in the dictionary there should be a picture of this place. Huge wooded area for camping. A creek/stream ran right through the properly, people were in the creek the whole time on inflatables jamming to the music, many hammocks abound, the preferred thing to do was catch a nap at some point during the day. Music on Friday 2:30p-4:00a and music on Sat. from noon-4:00a. They also had early bird shows Thurs night. Just impressed with the vibe, the bands, everything. Didn't see one security guard or cop all weekend, soo many vendors selling food, cloths, and pretty much anything you can think of. The best part about it was it's BYOB. As much as I like paying $22 a beer at places like the Peach festival for One beer, this is a breath of fresh air. Place was literally out in the middle of nowhere. Back roads for a while, just fields, mountains, and rivers then the venue. There's something about a DSO show that is smack dab in the middle of mother nature. I saw how DSO just threw a stage up out in Jackson Hole and rocked out on the edge of a mountain. This kinda had the same vibe even though we were down in a valley. Kudos to the band for making it an awesome weekend.

  9. And you don't even get a physical ticket anymore. I miss the days of camping out at ticket locations in a mall. Getting random numbers or bracelets then buying physical tickets that I could do with what I want and be able to save the stubs as a little reminder of the event. Also entering a venue was 1000% easier. They rip your ticket, you keep the stub and you're in. Now its wait in a see of people, get a rectal exam & a radiation scan (for security) then they have to try to scan everyone's barcode on peoples phones. Society is going in the wrong direction all for "convenience"?
  10. I was there. Preakness show, 2 nights I believe. I'm thinking this was night two. We had commandeered the small 2nd floor VIP room and turned it into a smoke shack. Great shows. I thought I had them on CD as well somewhere but would need a pick and axe to find them, buried deep
  11. Just did a quick search on https://www.setlist.fm/song/grateful-dead/candyman-4bd687ee.html Clicked on about 7 shows and they all played Candyman in the 1st set, so you might be onto something.
  12. DSO took it to a new level on the PA mountaintop. Sold out show, people were hanging from the rafters, still was able to find dance space when needed. Chinacat > Rider right out of the gate set the tone. BIODTL in the first was also taken to new heights. Shakedown 2nd set opener was prime. The whole second set was the crescendo. A nice culmination with the Stephen Stills Love the one your're with, which I think was a first time for me. A great night was had by all. I do remember having to go through a sobriety checkpoint on the way home on route 443. Luckily the cops were cool and sent me on my way. Might not have been 100% sober but pulled the jedi mind trick on them. Probably take the hiway home from now on.
  13. The gang came out with a smoking Promised Land knocking the dust off the rafters at XL Live. Cassidy had a real funky beat. Bertha>Good Lovin' is always a burner. Truckin was played with poise and intensity right into Around and Around which definitely had the joint jumping. US Blues kept the crowd in a frenzy. My first time hearing Piece of my Heart...Wow very impressive. Good to see Rob B. back on stage.
