I love it!, scrambled mind. What they play? I dunno but it was hot!!!!

WOW !!!

Ok, I did it backwards again. True story but show opener, not second set. June17, 1991

So, I read somewhere, when Hornsby was playing with the Dead, that it was his suggestion to open the second set with Eyes. I’m wondering if this is a recreation of that show.

Being stoned makes pizza better.

Two years ago, Camden, summer solstice,I went spontaneously after running into a couple on their way to the show at WaWa (convenience store) in Delaware. Dirty, work clothes, boots. I got lost in the dregs of Camden fo about 45minutes after the show. I blew off stop signs, didn’t stop driving until I found a bridge. I’ll never go back. Yes, I can do GPS now. Gonna research Atlantic City DSO on Jerry’s death date, room too. Then Dewey.

A half a show for the price of three. They got rained out last nite so half again.

Yea, I watched a clip of Jack A Roe break out and turned it off. It was sad. But, hey, Johnny learned a new song. Jeff is doing a phenomenal job channeling Jerry. Dark Star is it! Don’t tell anybody, though. They’ll just crowd the venues, triple ticket prices. Next thing you know, DSO will be playing stadiums and I’ll be in the nose bleed section watching through binoculars. Sshhh, it’ll be our little secret.

Grotto pizza down the street from the Bottle and Cork in Dewey Beach is full of tye dyes after the show.

I just passed a trailer boat going the other way on a road near the Chesapeake. Big letters down the side of the boat; ESTIMATED PROPHET. I call my twelve foot megayacht ' Box a rain'. She's fifty years old this year. I put a new transom in it this winter. Looking forward to splashing her and going looking for arrowheads on the beaches. That's all, thanks for letting me share.

Nice. It looks like you guys got a showstopper in there with Good outlaw’s wife.

I love it! Morning after set recollection. Maybe a designated set list recorder is in order. Ever ask yourself, 'wait, did they play that or was that on the tape we listened to on the ride there.?' Good times.

I noticed that, and commented on that when I first discovered you guys at the turn of the century. I told people you were The Grateful Dead without the mistakes. A sober, professional version of the dead. Thank you for enduring and continually swinging by the neighborhood. One beautiful oasis.

I bet it was ‘88 or ‘89.

So true! My sentiments exactly. How could anyone do anything but rejoice at help/slip/tangled?, etc. This is Dark Star Orchestra taking liberties based on their place in the world (fuck it, universe) and moving the music forward. They are entitled and praise them for recognizing and going for it. They are on the right side of history. ....the shore line beckons....there’s a price for being free....

The music must move forward. It’s the nature of the beast. Dark Star Orchestra must move forward. Elective set lists are necessary. I was sceptical at first but I now understand. The success the band has achieved as a result of our support has led to this. I now embrace electives and am eternally grateful to the entire band and all of it’s supporting cast for the sacrifices and devotion they have made and given. Anything less than commitment in return is beyond my comprehension. That’s what love is, baby....that’s what love’ll make you do.

Sounds like an early show.

I wonder if that’s a first for DSO, good lovin/la Bamba/good lovin?

Yea, I get that, when Jerry and the boys sing different lyrics. I’m talking about what words I thought they were singing versus what they were actually singing. I spent some time last winter studying lyrics on line. I must say it was bittersweet. A lot of ‘oh, that’s what they’re saying.’ It changed my interpretation of the song. Sometimes for the better, sometimes I prefer what I thought they were saying and stick with it. Phil talks about this in the book ‘playing in the band’. He says It can be whatever you want it to be. ....believe it if you need it..... let the words be yours....

Oh, it could have been. That's a whole other thread. What they actually said and what I heard. Here's one; ' girls and me and I'm flashing my keys on a Main Street.'

Speaking of changing up lyrics, I just heard Jerry sing ‘fifteen dollar bill’ in FOTD, on a disc lent to me by a stranger.

I read it real quick and typed real fast and ran back to work

Passion by definition is driven to anger.

Sounds like a school of fish or a flock of birds, moving in harmony.

...such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
