The morning dew last night was special, the interplay of note per note exchange between Eaton and JK was supremely blissful at the peak of intensity when the music and sound all seemed to hold still in that forever moment of the truest outpouring love. It was as if the world had stopped and I took a deep breathe for the first time in ages.

I lean more towards comes a time Stella blue and the three piece of help through franklins. I even feel terrapin carried more actual weight but morning dew in the right spot obviously carries quite a bit of power. I think when it appeared early in the first set even possibly as the opener my mind isn't open enough for me and it often falls flat compared to when it is in the Jerry ballad spot. Although much rarer I also feel world to give had tremendous power

Dead feat in New Orleans was a good time. That was where whitney and I fell in love. I'll never forget that night. We went to a late night show after that and whitney passed out standing up in my arms. A friend said take her out back maybe she will get a second wind. Staff eventually told me I had to get her out of there. Such a unique vibe in New Orleans in many places security medics and even police might have been involved. They let us sit out back for like an hour and then decided that hey you just have to go. I miss New Orleans. Plan to do jazz fest again soon.

Great live album. The horns are essential though. Tower of power.

No Colorado. Would go but prefer in state.

We in for the weekend can't make Orlando. Excited for the atl plus Florida back to back weekends. I doubt employer is going to be thrilled but fuck em I need me some DSO.

I think whitney and I plus Delilah are in for this one. Delilah gonna crush it on that floor.

Down goes Bama.

Waiting for a miracle was a song that I really connected with following my moms diagnosis with brain cancer. So I understand NE. Even though no real miracle has come she's still with us and has beaten the odds which is a miracle. We visit my mom in less than 2 weeks will be good to be with her again despite her weakened state.

If you making the trip out for these, please do get in touch we would like to show off are home and provide travelers we know with a place to shower and sleep if necessary. We are an hour from the venue.

Rude such a good guy

Wedding still only takes 1 day. Can fly to and from Puerto Rico same day. If you in wedding party I guess I understand but you could still make one of these and skip a day or two of the dog and pony show.

Found weddings don't take two days. I better see you at one of these shows. I miss you

DSO can't schedule a 13 date indoor tour right now. They wouldn't if they could in my estimation but the promoters and venues won't sign off on it. A DSO tour when and where it happens is up to more than those that deliver us the goods.

Whit and I will be there.

Covid is on the rise again. I don’t think we going to get more shows again until the Spring but I don’t know anything. Maybe we get something. Just don’t think we will.

We are doubtful. Between it being a difficult ticket and the travel expenses. Plus having two kids. It’s just not in the cards. I even think we gonna have to sit Cincinnati out. I’m hopeful we get more DSO before Jamaica but if that’s the case Jamaica will be all that much sweeter. We get that Halloween run here in Colorado too. Not DSO but certainly quality Dead music.

I’m tempted to pull the trigger on the Q.

Rude funny. Delilah learned to dance from me spinning her to sleep listening to shows within weeks of birth. Those nights where I’d go upstairs with bottle cause momma was too tired to breastfeed and desperately needed the crying baby out of the room. But yes Delilah gets down. She’s boogies hard. momma wants everyone to know she dances with the babe too. Shes getting it from both of us.

We decided to extend the Utah “trip” a few days. Currently headed to Zion National park. Evening hike tonight for sunset and all day hiking and exploring tomorrow.

My cup has runneth over. Thank you so much DSO. Bittersweet with bee crew introductions as we say goodbye to Ellie Nicky and Kenny. It’s truly is the ending of one remarkable chapter of DSO. But look forward to the push forward with the new faces. But really gonna miss those leaving. I remember when I was a shy kid just finding myself at DSO after like show 40 and having done maybe 25 of the last 30 DSO shows I worked up the courage to yell at Nicky as he was setting up the stage. Hey my name is Rick. Some how he already knew. His response was you’ve been riding the rail at the last 15 shows. I know who you are. Some 500/600 shows later. He’s leaving. He’s been at just about it not every single stop on that DSO journey for me.

It was elective. I can probably recreated most of the list off memory but must mention first DSO take a little piece of my heart. Lisa crushed it. Once again proving Lisa is the secret weapon.

I brought up your offer. She prayed I was kidding but I think she was slightly complimented not offended. She was looking for real nice last night. But like I said, it’s a strong no. Like 24/7/365 kind of no. Seriously, Scotty would’ve had a better shot. He was singing and playing last night. I discussed your feelings on that with him too. Shocked he came home alone last night. I feel like we have a more subdued sunny here on the forums. Maybe you have settled down some. Look we’re keeping it totally PG and speaking in innuendos. This isn’t the blunt in your face I don’t care if I offend you sunny of old. Don’t get me wrong I’ve heard you may or may not have experienced some more than PG materially in Asheville but hey that’s to be expected, sometimes the freaks come out at night.

2nd set scotty was smoking. We probably gonna pass tonight. Whitney wants to go hiking before we head home. Can’t stay out too late again.

I was still up sunny or at least close to. Slept like 7 til 10. Then damn kiddos woke me up. I could’ve texted you but you destroyed your phone and I was executing the plan we discussed.
