  1. Days between doesn’t count because it starts just like the other songs talked about above.
  2. Truckin’, Let the good times roll, are two that come to mind right away. Shakedown? Sugar Mags, yes. Nice game, it definitely makes you think more about what you’re listening to.
  3. The Italians from Philly went to South Jersey and grew vegetables. Fresh Jersey tomatoes, available in Florida in February.
  4. I’ll have to get that. My 34 year old cassette of that show, recorded off the dead hour on the radio. Should be an upgrade.
  5. Caught the show last night in Philly. I’m quite blown away. Bobby was as good as he’s ever been. When he belted out the ‘wish I was a headlight’ line, I gots chills. Pretty good job of channel Jerry. Similar feeling during days between and Brokedown encore. (Called that one) I also noticed that the never went into Franklin’s after Help/Slip. I didn’t say anything to my new found friends for the day. But spent the meat of the second set just waiting for them to get back to Franklin’s. Mayer sure can play and does a great job with the tunes. I had to remind myself to slow down to meet the pace that they play at in the beginning but overall, it worked out. Jay Lane filled in for Kreutzman. Lot scene was pretty good. Had that Sunday show feel, for sure. Made it into the stadium, across the field, found my seat, sit in it and look up to see Bixby a few yards in front of me. That’s a snapshot of the kind of fun that was had by me. My 42nd year of going to South Philly to catch a show, hallowed ground there. Bobby left it all out there on the stage, I think. Fitting second set tail end with Franklin’s for Philly. Classic Brokedown encore. Rocking’ Brown eyed women. Cumberland was taken to a new place by the band. Beautiful women everywhere, thank you, Ladies. Spun and danced all night long. Yes, even through drums. Saw one guy with his hands in his pockets, blew me away.
  6. I’m still blurry on Tuesday morning but didn’t Lisa have another tune, I forget the name of it, early on in the first set? That’s when the rain started. The harder it rained, the harder she sung, kept ramping it up to meet the rain. I was near the stage and everyone just kept grooving as if it was pouring down but not a drop on me. It could be a dream we dreamed but I am remembering the other one in there with Dark Star. The transition back into Dark Star was just exactly perfect. Finally caught my first ‘piece of my heart’ . Lisa does a fantastic job channeling Janis, along with channeling Donna. A star in her own right. I had as much fun as any other Dark Star show I have ever been to. The band is as dialed in as ever. Other players stepped in and covered for Eaton who was unable to sing. The opportunity in that gave us a great and interesting show. Great friends, a great time. Still blurry on Tuesday and I don’t mind.
  7. I got an email from the venue today that describes parking as a nightmare. Any body have any insight to the situation?
  8. I got a ticket for Philly, July 10, SUNDAY SHOW !!!! The middle of the section to the right of the sound board. Should be interesting, I will report.
  9. They announce at the end of the show. Also, the announcement might be that it’s an elective, a set list that hasn’t been done before.
  10. Got tickets, schedule clear for Baltimore. Can’t stop the train, you gotta let it roll!….
  11. Interesting placement of the weight but after singing the opening lines to myself in my head, it probably worked just fine.
  12. Ok, now my feet are sore just from reading Help/Slip/Frank second set closer. Wow!
  13. My feet are sore just from reading that set list!
  14. Caught JGB with Merl in the early 2000’s at the music pier in Ocean City, New Jersey. I’m not sure who the vocalist was, only time I ever saw him, but they covered Forever Young. I wouldn’t say he nailed it but obviously memorable.
  15. So, the small band going through, are they beyond description?
  16. Sounds like those shows were reminiscent of a few years back when Eaton had to tend to personal business. We got about six Jerry band shows. That was some pretty good lemonade. I took a rookie to a Phil and friends show late nineties. One nitrous hit too many and this chick is bent over at the waist and running full speed, down a slight slope, into the door of a small sedan, Head first. That drew a crowd, put a damper on the evening. She was covered in scrapes. So, I can relate and feel for ya. Bummer.
  17. Is China/jam/rider the feelin’ groovy jam? Or did they stretch it out another way.
  18. I caught a couple of his specials on Netflix or somewhere. You gotta pay attention and listen closely. Quick witted and dry. Clearly, he’s a fan of recreational drugs. How else are you going to make those observations? An expanded mind.
  19. …………..But who can the weather command?
  20. I agree with Found. The set list looks like a recreation, early eighties except maybe for Tom Thumb blues, not sure, until late in the show it must be an elective. Cool how DSO messes with us just like Grateful Dead did.
  21. So many roads? Cheating sure makes this game a lot easier.
  22. 9/16/87, MSG, second set, devil with a blue dress>good golly miss Molly>devil with the blue dress. Brent vocals, I thought that was the highlight of the show.
