    The venue was just renovated and it looks great. I would say it was only half full. The energy was great though. The Shakedown kickoff was electric.
     

    They said it was their first time in Davenport but some in the crowd said “2003!”

  5. Stu was a great fill-in. They mentioned changing their name to Dark Stu Orchestra. Sat Nite opener was a surprise … wondered where we’d go from there. One of those Tolstoy-esque Dylan tunes, Memphis Blues was great and seemed to go on forever. Let it Grow was perfect to hear on the Hog Farm. 
     

    Pocky Way was real tight and Playin got real loose. On a clear, starry night with the moon and shooting stars in full view, they tore into Terrapin and Standing on the Moon. The crowd kept up the NFA a capella for a full two minutes. 
     

    It was a great night until one speedy camper decided to roust the entire camp and scream “wake the f up” at a quarter to six in the morning. Feisty discussions ensued with many a stfu’s. Hopefully people got their rest for tonight.

  8. I went to both Wrigley shows and I hate to admit it but I had a great time. There’s def a Disneyland/Football game vibe (Chicago show has something to do with it, def different at Folsom).

     

    First night opener Women Are Smarter was pretty powerful with Roe/Wade decision. Could feel the angry energy in the stadium and in Bobby’s voice. He also changed lyrics to Throwin later about the Supreme Court. Eyes > Bertha was kinda sweet n’ slow like ‘74. Dark Star was just weird which I guess is a good thing. BEW is not my favorite but they kinda ripped it in the middle, esp Jeff.  Drums/Space was great esp in a stadium setting. Mickey is Mickey and that’s doesn’t change. I think they have a new sound system which is pretty crisp. Miles Davis out of space was a nice touch. Cumberland. Talk about tempo. It was fast and good. The 10 minutes wore me out. NFA with no encore (curfew). Bob just said “Mañana” and walked off. 

     

    Second night Scarlet opener was as slow as molasses. But was interesting to hear Scarlet Fire stand alones. Very good bluesy Speedway. Mayer does best on bluesy rockers. Trippy ones like Slipknot or Fire, not so much. Casey Jones 2nd set opener. Don’t know what kinda coke they’re taking but sounded more like a heroin dirge. I like a rippin Casey unless it’s a really groovy version. This was neither. Average Franklins. Always get emotional hearing Bobby sing Days. Idk. Esp in Chicago. OMSN. Good Lord. Haven’t heard Bob belt out a scream at the end like that in ages. Brokedown. Mayer should not be singing it. 

     

    Overall it’s a good time. Even with the lame crowd, there’s something about a stadium show that makes it fun. Hearing 30,000 people sing NFA as the band walks off is pretty neat.

    It’s like playing just to play notes but lacking meaning. 


    Yup. That’s what Garcia said about players like Eddie Van Halen. Like Mayer, they’re good guitarists but have nothing to say. The shows didn’t take me anywhere. There was no journey. But it was fun. That’s it.

  9. Peter Rowan was great. Everyone should go see him at Jubilee. 
     

    Bob’s 5th time with DSO and first since (as PoetryGirl mentioned) 2014. 
     

    Were they the best DSO shows I’ve ever seen? Maybe not. But it was a very special weekend at a very special place. I feel blessed to have been there.

    how many are you doing. Did I last see you in Utah or Asheville?


    The last four shows are all I can muster right now. I believe I last saw you in Cincy. I’ll back in Ohio in May.  🤞🏻

  11. About 15 mins before showtime I heard whispers that Bob is here. Where is he, etc. Then I got some water after Music and there was talking and a loud cheer. I came back and Bob was on stage. 
     

    Lisa was on for most of Bob’s songs though Eaton was not. The tempo was obv different but I’d say it skewed towards DSO than DeadnCo.
    No SSDD btw. 
     

    yeah Mission was a great capper to the California run.

    Help Slip Shakedown was it's own set? Or was that one monster of a pre-drums?


    It was a stand-alone “set” after about a 15 minute break from the acoustic set. Then it was a full setbreak before St. Stephen. It was odd. 
     

    I re-labeled as their printed setlist had it. They also skipped Viola Lee after Shakedown. That woulda been too much.. 🙃
