8/9/12 looks like a recreation, of ….?

The true heart and soul of the Grateful Dead. GET YOUR HANDS OUTTA YAW POCKETS !!!

I caught one of those DSO Jerry Band shows a few years back, Baltimore. I don’t remember them as three set shows. I was blown away by how blown away I was.

I caught this video about a year ago. Well told story. I got a kick out of the footage shot over here on the Eastern shore.

Nice! jGB elective but I hope Eaton is ok.

So far away from how it feels inside…..

Are like you sure the date is right? I couldn’t find a match. Was probably there, no recollection of a set list.

So many gems and a mix of all eras represented.

Such an attractive set list, dig the encore.

Hardpan may have taped that show.

Looks like the band is headed back to the Anthem, 10/21. Hey, Saturday nite!

Typical Grateful Dead fashion, just because they hauled all their equipment, etc. to the feet of the Sphinx, played under a full moon, lunar eclipse, doesn’t mean it will be a good show. Hey, they stunk up Woodstock. What turns out to be the best shows can be found in the strangest of places, if you look at it right.

What do women and Jell-O have in common? They both quiver before you eat them.

What they play? I don’t know but it was great. The sign of a successful show.

Lisa on Kazoo ! ! !

Never better

Yea, I dig that set list.

So, I’m thinking Folsom Prison Blues would be a bit of a showstopper but no one who was present is commenting. Please describe.

just had a guy at the gas station ask me what my license plate (boxrain)meant. I asked him if he ever heard of the Grateful Dead, and if he ever saw them. He said yea, once., Austin, Texas, 1969. I looked it up. If it was Austin, he musta meant 2/23/70. He said they did the coolest thing. After they were done playing the show, they set up a huge set of cymbals and the guy just played the cymbals for a really long time. He said he has seen the Moody Blues three times. I thought that was cool.

My thought exactly. Oh Well, I know what I’m not doing this summer.

Ahh, they fucked it all up! Gotta open with Jack Straw. Estimated/ Eyes needs to be after Scarlet/ Fire. Eyes into Terrapin and Morning Dew in the Encore slot. Wait!, Brokedown for the encore, Dew right outta Terrapin. How come they don’t do any Phish covers? They’re a great band, so I heard.

That’s a good one, gotta check it out. I’m guessing a late era Race is on, second set opening reads like a first set opener, Playin’ into Eyes must be heard, I think. I’m on my way…

I know, right!? Everyone thinks my not listening to Any Phish at all is because I had to work late every day and couldn’t make it to the record store before they closed. Conscience decision, friends. To me, it’s all about Jerry Garcia’s mind, the effect LSD had on him, and how he communicated that to us through his guitar. Jerry’s noodling is his innermost thoughts. That’s what I’m chasing down. He was first, he’s the only one. Everyone else is simply trying to reinvent the wheel. Can’t be done, we already have the wheel. That’s why Dark Star Orchestra works for me. They’re replicating a previous GD experience, a time machine if you will, while still moving the music forward with elective set lists. After Jerry died, I did a couple Phil and Friends shows, a couple JGB band shows with Merl. I figured it was over until I stumbled upon Dark Star Orchestra. Praise DSO and their loyal fans.

I don’t always listen to music, but when I do, it’s the Grateful Dead. Stay Dead, my friend.

They’re not the best at what they do, they’re the only ones who do what they do.
