I'm guessing this dance party was in part to many of the Dead and Co kids who just stopped by to say, well, well, well....Many were on the  DSO European tour...they know how to get down and don't talk... Glad you had a great time!!!

That’s right! Lots of the kids were there as it was “Dead and Co Eve”… they brought the energy for sure!

[Wang Theatre - Boston, MA 6/23/23]

• BOSTON MUSIC HALL - NOVEMBER 14, 1978

  
  The Wang is the old Boston Music Hall and you could feel the bands pleasure playing this recreation from the very same room it was originally played. Absolutely stunning theatre. I couldn’t have asked DSO for a better local return. Boston shows at the Wilbur were fun, but the venues don’t compare. The Wilbur is tight and crowded, discriminates on deadheads, and lacks the space and sound we crave. I’d love to see them play the Wang again in the future. Missed my forum friends but there was an epic dance party in the red carpeted hallway at the top of balcony. Passenger, Estimated Eyes, ship of fools, wharf rat, and GDTRFB personal highlights. GDTRFB was just silly good… so much fun. Got my first “piece of my heart tonight”. I am “on call” which starting at 11pm so I was sober for this show… pretty sure first ever. I danced more than I ever have AND saved money! Everything about this night was perfect, including not running into my ex who first brought me to shows (lol) and hanging out with my cat now as I rest my bones. ❤️❤️❤️

[Extra ticket for Penns Peak to transfer/sell]

I have a ticket for the show this Saturday but won’t be able to make it. I’d be happy with $20 for the ticket. Will transfer thru Ticketmaster. Hope this helps someone looking! 🥰

[Boston Area Heads - Free Two Day Pass Tickets for Portland]

Hey! I'm in in the North Shore and planning to go to shows. I'm in Marblehead and can drive in to Cambridge tomorrow to pick up the tix if still available?! I'll send you a pm now.

Sorry to hear you caught Covid. 🙏

You're so kind 🙌🤗

[Love is real]

I'm so sorry for your enormous loss, Rick and family. Hold on to the beautiful time you had together. Sending love and strength.

[2022 Fall Tour is up!]

Time off request, as a courtesy, submitted for Richmond, Norfolk, and Penns Peak! Excited for some shows. I know we all need them.

[A band I saw last night]

Elton John put on an amazing show at Gillette this past Wednesday night. He sounds as good as ever. He stood up and thanked the crowd after every song. It felt special to be there and experience such a legend live.

As for actually catching music, I got personal things that I need to devote greater attention to so I won't make us many but I'm still spoiled. Got 6 Dso shows coming. Caverns Memphis and jubilee. I'll be able to catch NJ in June and Hampton beach. Plus definitely gonna make days between festival and jubilee New York. So my cup will be full. 

 

See you at Hampton Beach. I booked a room at Regal Inn, has decent rates right now and just behind venue. Just behind that lovely inn that directly faces the police station! Amazing that they never bothered any of us staying there despite shenanigans. 

 

Looking forward to seeing you, Whit, and the girls soon. 

[Friday the 13th]

Sounds like a great way to spend a Friday the 13th! I'm sure mine won't be as fun as I'll be working (RN) and if it's anything like working a shift during or near a full moon, we're in for chaos. 😳

[The Anthem Friday nite.]

I land at DCA just after 12pm. Looked like a short uber/lyft to venue area but now wondering if this convoy will get in the way of that convenience. Luckily won't be on a time crunch. Maybe the metro is an option... Unfamiliar with the metro in DC. If I can handle the roads and subway of Boston, I'm sure I'll be able to navigate but if anyone has advice please share. 

[DSO 2022 European Tour!]

Wow

 

Omg

 

This is SO exciting. I'm speechless.

Hello

I have 3 tickets for Richmond on 3/26.

I'm in NC & bought the tix over Christmas.   Later, Bob weir announced a Durham NC show the same night.  

Now my crew bailed on me for Bob Weir & the wolfpack (understandable)

 

Face value

 

Let me know, thanks

If you're willing to sell separately, I need one for myself. No worries if not, just figured I'd help if I can. Thanks. 

[Spring tour 2022]

While The Band is being mentioned here on the forums, I'll share that there is a phenomenal tribute band for The Band that I have seen twice now. 

 

They typically play the NorthEast but may venture for festivals and such.

I was thinking it was The Bands The Shape I'm in... I wasn't there so idk

[2022/03/14 - Burlington]

Thanks, Tea. Would have loved to be surprised and have caught that one. 

 

I wonder if there is a recording...

Your grandfather is a pip? So cool. Thanks, Northeast. Looks like a latter day set list except for never can tell and St. Stephen. See you at the Anthem. 

 

Not quite, and Gladys was performing with the ladies and the concert wasn't billed as Gladys Knight and the pips. More like the Jerryettes... as an old friend calls the ladies of JGB. Grampy is simply a romantic and her music holds incredible meaning for him and my late grandmother. 57 years of marriage & a love for music that was shared! Doesn't get much better than that. I am trying to get him to a local dso show or melvin and jgb next time they come our way... He loves JGB. He had the local VFW add the dead and JGB the jukebox after I played both for him.He is worried there won't be a place to sit as he enjoys hearing my stories of DSO shows and all the dancing and desire for space, so he has an idea of what audience set up is. We will make it happen though. I could set him up in a seated area and venture back n forth ☺

It was hard to stop smiling!!!

[Warfield Night #2 2/5/22]

I know it must have been special for the band to have Bobby on stage with them, but I wish he would have let Jeff shine like we all know he does. 

[Warfield Night #2 2/5/22]

Wow, looks like an amazing time. Bob Weir made a guest appearance? Unannounced? 

[Defunct Venues]

Foxboro is now Gillette stadium. Go Pats  

[Songs you wish the dead would have covered]

Ah, I understand now. Yes, I'd imagine nothing compares when you are expecting and in need of the original show/ performer.

 

That's pretty cool she made sure you were well taken care of!

Back Feb. 1997 Went to see Emmyou with the Raliegh ,NC symphony,two shows, Fri and sat. Upon entering they handed us a playbook stating Helen Reddy's songs for the night. I asked an usher what that meant. She said Helen Reddy was replacing ELH. I replied no she's not, she can't be replaced. They refunded out tickets and gave us free seats for HR, three songs in we left, it was a low point in my concert career. Paid off when I told Emmylou what happened during her March spring tour in Kalamazoo. She put me on the guest list for the upcoming sold out Saturday night show at Park West in Chicago, then was invited backstage after the show to share two more bottles of wine with her and a couple of other friends. Needless to say I am not a Helen Reddy fan and from then on got to sit in her soundtracks that year catching 15 more shows.

 

 

 

Wow, I am surprised to hear Helen Reddy had you leaving 3 songs in. I was only 5 y/o in Feb 1997 but have come to love Helen Reddys music and story as an adult. I've watched live performances and was impressed. She strikes me as a performer with a minimalist approach to the stage, just about singing, not all the extras. Alas, to each their own! I am curious to hear more about how she was live when you caught her. 

[Songs you wish the dead would have covered]

I would LOVE to hear Lisa sing "I Am Woman" - Helen Reddy.
