Have fun PG, MC and Saint Dilbert, and everyone else going. Enjoy the patties MC, I grew up eating those things, actually was pleasantly surprised to see them at 7-11 a few weeks ago, not too shabby of a snack. Thanks to the Saint for bringing the recording gear, may you get some killer tapes 😀

Listened to this show last night, killer indeed, great second set sequence.

I looked around, only done once by the Grateful Dead, 5/11/80, out of 43 times they played both songs the same night, rare indeed! Also interesting that this setlist also includes Playing in the Band as the next song in the set, same as on 5/11/80. 05/11/80Cumberland County Civic Center - Portland, ME Set 1: Alabama Getaway Promised Land They Love Each Other Cassidy Loser It's All Over Now Easy To Love You Big Railroad Blues Looks Like Rain Don't Ease Me In The Music Never Stopped Set 2: Scarlet Begonias Fire On The Mountain Feel Like A Stranger Terrapin Station Playin' In The Band Drums Black Peter Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad Around And Around Johnny B.

Who me?? 😁 they played a new CT venue this summer, nice location on the water and cool venue, an outdoor brewery, but it was packed chock full to the gills. They're converting a minor league baseball stadium into the Bridgeport amphitheatre, depending on the configuration it could be cool. Love the minor league stadium they play in Rochester, good sound and lots of space. Supposedly this new place will have some kind of membrane roof, not sure if it will be retractable or what, sounds interesting. I see the work in progress from the highway when I drive by. But yes please, a backyard show would be great 😁

Brand new amphitheatre being built in Bridgeport, CT, about a minute off the highway, 5500 capacity, could be a good place.

They played it a few times this fall, their first was at night three of the Capitol Theater run where they filled in for Phil.

Second set looks like fun, 🤤🤤 hope you all get some smokers this run ⚡️⚡️

I think the Grateful Dead Movie really does a great job of conveying many of the facets of the Grateful Dead concert experience, which was Jerry's goal with it. From the deadheads of all shapes and sizes, to the exasperated cop dealing with the "getting my space together" guy, to the shamelessly ogling food vendor, to the crew setting up the equipment, to the guys sweeping up at the end. The last time I watched the movie, however, was the first time I noticed that Jerry could have been also trying to convey what it is like to be a member of the band. There is a point where the footage cuts to Phil, soaked with sweat, locked deep in the throes of a hot Playin' jam, with the band working their way toward the reprise. The angle is sort of from behind the neck of his bass, which first gave me this idea that, maybe this is kind of how it would feel on stage. As they get to the repeating figure, which precedes the reprise, the footage cuts to Jerry, playing that repeating figure over and over, bringing the volume lower and lower, with him mouthing "shhh" to the band, masterfully bringing the dynamics down to a pin drop, and upon reaching the "turn around", bringing them back up, to full volume at the point of release, when the band slams back into the reprise. I think Jerry was trying to let us know how it feels from the stage. Just something I noticed on my last viewing of the Movie, check it out next time you watch it 😃

Hey, I know who asked that question! Rob's answer, eloquent and thought provoking. It is interesting to me, from what I gather from his answer, that to him, playing music with the band feels similar to how it feels to me on the dance floor, when it's really good and you are surrounded by other enthusiastic dancers, friends or strangers. The element of grace feels tangible and accessible ❤️

Oh man, this looks superb. I was watching out for Scarlet Fire from the beginning of the tour, in hopes of catching one, and when they kept on not playing it, I figured they must have been saving it up for something special. This looks like it fits the bill, happy for all in attendance 🤤

Looks like so much fun, was thinking about you guys busting it loose last night, loved that place last year, hope to return one day.

Scramble on rose ⚡️⚡️

He moved over a little bit and gave us some more space and seemed to loosen up. I saw him taking a photo of the chair stack which I guess he texted to the boss, then attempted to take apart the stack, me and Mason helped him out a bit on the tough parts 😛

Relentless dream setlist. Loved the first set Morning Dew palindrome, tough to select highlights, it was high energy all the way through. Someone cut loose a hearty Thanksgiving blast on the dance floor, I think it was one of the border dwellers 😱😱 Had fun dancing with everyone, nice space, great show, good company 😃

Oh man, Passenger opener, looks like a great time!!

It has worked out nice this fall, not too far of drives with good weekend clusters of shows, home each night 😃

Mr. Eaton prefaced the show by mentioning he has had bronchitis for the past week, but that he plans on singing his ass off, which he did. Small, old theatre around 850 capacity built in 1885, not heavily sold, they allowed dancing in the aisles, which was well taken advantage of. The house achieved pin drop quiet during Morning Dew, was lovely all around, and Lisa delivered a powerful performance to close out the night with Strange Man, such a treat!!

Thanks Mango, looking forward to the next time we can cut it up, working on my Rhino moves 😛

I really like taping the band, but it is hard for me to fully let go and be free to dance when I have to think about keeping an eye on the equipment. I feel bad about not taping, especially since I have the gear, and many shows I attend have no other tapers, but since discovering how much fun letting go in an oasis of freedom can be, I don't think about taping as much 😃 as sudds94 mentioned, Rob did indeed belt it out on I Know You Rider, I hope he feels better soon.

What a great show, high energy with lots of space and dancers, very fun night!! Second set sequence was killer, Pocky in between China and Rider was a good surprise. Lisa got a very enthusiastic ovation, lasting probably 30 seconds, after singing Sunrise, with Skip and Eaton urging the crowd to applaud more. The jam out of Terrapin was extended and beautiful, and the remainder of the show after drums and space was also very fun, with The Eleven being the highlight of the night for me, with swirling torrents of music for dancers to ride upon. ❤️ Loved the venue too, hopefully they return.
