Dewey Beach Brewing Co is just across the street, good beers. There is also a Mexican joint just south of Bottle and Cork, their asparagus tacos are AWESOME and the margaritas are damn good too, MezCali Taqueria! Can’t wait!!

Can’t go wrong with a day at the beach, then DSO at night! For what it’s worth, I have been to the last 5 DSO runs at the Bottle and Cork. Other than a bogus parking ticket, we’ve never had issues with the police. We usually stay at Cape Henlopen SP and Uber down and back. Anyone camping?

Quick heads up, but just like last year, the Lighted Boat Parade will be going on just as we enter the Anthem, starts at 6 but will continue for a few hours along the waterfront. Parking will be bad and traffic will be terrible. Get there early if you can, I can’t wait!

What a great venue and incredible night of music. After listening to Reckoning and a bunch of acousitic/ electric Dead from the early 80’s, it was awesome to hear DSO’s take on many of those songs in person.
My personal favorites from last night were Jack A Roe, Masters of War, and Bird Song from first set. All very well played and the sound was great. Second set, Mountains of the Moon, Box, Reuben and Cherise and Viola Lee. Very cool to hear the jug band version, caught me off guard at first.
The place is so intimate and the sound, incredible. I felt like I was sitting in Rob Barraco’s lap all night we were that close!

Hoping for no snow as I’m putting in the 10 plus hour trek to come up to philly for these. Any advice on philly would be awesome. Anything from which cheesesteak to try to electric factory security heads up to where to watch football Sunday. Also I think we are staying less than a half mile from shows. Is any part of Philly walkable or is that a dumb idea? We are probably gonna do the Independence Hall your and liberty bell and shit Saturday. CANT FREAKIN WAIT!!!! My first DSO NYE.
DD, Reading Terminal Market is very cool. D’Nics has the best hot pork sandwich. The market, in general, is super cool. Also, if you are a beer fan, Monk’s Cafe has an awesome Belgian beer selection and their mussels are very good, if you go get the Mussles Ghent!
The area between EF and most hotels in the downtown area is sketchy. Philly, otherwise, is very walkable, especially all around the central downtown area.

DD, I’ll see you in Philly hopefully!
I am guessing coat check is a mandatory feature for any venue there. How is the venue? Good sound? Will the extra bands open for DSO?
PG, I’ve heard people complain about the sound but I love the Electric Factory. The sound is good, and the place has a lot of good ole grungy character! Think 9:30 Club but shadier!

Thanks for the info, just a few days away, can’t wait to get down! Hope you all had a great holiday.

I am with you, not a fan of Keller myself, but looking forward to DDBB the night prior. I am not sure, but I am guessing this is around my 20-25 DSO show but never saw them with an opener. I will get down no matter what!

Great, did DSO play a full show that night or did Keller's set cut them short? Being greedy, I know, but I want a full two sets and encore!
Never mind, checked the setlist and DSO did play two full sets and an encore.
Mojo, did you feel the Keller set took away from the DSO set at all? Just wondering, we will have fun no matter what!

pretty sure Keller Williams was at the NYE run last year also. I only saw one night and he did not share the stage with DSO at all.

Thanks for sharing, great memories for sure! I didn't get my first opportunity until I was a senior in high school, RFK '90. Although late to the game, I was able to catch quite a few before the end, including the second to last in Chicago, which was bittersweet. given all that was going down in the lots at the time.
I will look into the Cosmic Charlie Campaign!

Dr. Barry, I am with you, I want my full two sets and then some each night! What I am hoping for is a sit in or two since I always loved when Branford would sit in with the Dead. Also, it is cool to listen to when Tower of Power and Etta James sat in with them and Clarence Clemmons too, I love the horns in the appropriate places.
Anyway, here is to the openers and that they don't take from DSO's time!

No better way to end 2017 than with DSO in Philly! My wife, sis-in-law and I are hitting the first two nights and heading home for NYE. Looking forward to seeing them with DDBB and Keller. Any thoughts on whether DDBB and Keller will open, or are they playing the full night with DSO? Either way, can't wait!
If anyone is heading up early on Friday and wants to grab a beer, let me know. I don't know anyone on this board, although I may know your face, so it would be cool to meet you all in person!
See you in Philly!

I may be in the minority, but I love seeing DSO in Dewey! Hit the beach all day and dance all night. Like any night out, it's best not to drink and drive. I know some have had issues with the police but I have never had issues and neither have my friends. I hope you all can make it!
Bottle and Cork, Dewey Beach, DE night one

Whew, I was a sweaty mess after that one! The China Doll and Loose Lucy were incredible and I too had never caught an encore Dew, beautiful! Second set always clears out a bit, you have to tough it out first set then you have more wiggle room. Can’t wait for tonight!!
