Absolutely crackling with energy. Man. Hot Hot Hot. I have seen The Golden Road a couple of times (Dead and Other ones I think) and I have never liked this "newer" version until now. If JK doesn't like that song he faked the hell out of it. I'm listening to this night show right now and I'm pretty impressed. I got the goose bumps teary eyed thing going. Wharf Rat just started, I'm pumped to hear this and that brown eyed women was hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutrino Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Have listened to most of this show now that it is up on archive. One thing that I find very interesting so far about this show are the surprises. Peggy-O is a major change from the standard version with its country-style and Phil on vocals. I personally would prefer to hear the "old school" version, but I have to give them points for innovation in reworking this song into something that is also very nice to listen to. Also was surprised how they went into Rider without China Cat. Don't think I ever heard that done before, but I imagine the GD used to do it. Again, I would have prefered the China/Rider, but this worked quite well. New Speedway>Wharf Rat is great. I get the impressing that that Phil and Bob are slowing letting JK share the center stage even sometimes lead the band. I also can't say enough about Jeff. He is awesome on keys! Overall, seems like a fine show, and bodes well for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted December 14, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 It did cap the second set off nicely. And the fact that the dance police didn't break out the trudgeons was a plus, too. Like an airplane landing, any show you walk away from is a good one...

kel Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Sure, it's Phil and Bob's band (probably really Phil's band) and they can do whatever the hell they want. Doesn't mean it will sound good.I just feel that if they went to the effort of getting JK to leave DSO to play in their band, they should use him to the best of his abilities. I don't thing anyone here can say with a straight fact that Phil is a better vocalist than JK on a song like Peggy-O. Right on, Neutrino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evergr8ful Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 My take: I went to both nights and I can't not say enough about how wonderful the shows were! I honestly do not see how anyone could be there and have anything negative to say. All these assumptions people are making about who's in charge and who's making the decisions, are just that, assumptions. I saw absolutely nothing to indicate they are keeping a lid on John. He was totally rocking! And he sang most of the Jerry tunes. (Let's face it, if he did every one, people (maybe not on the DSO board) would be bitching just as much. When Phil did sing, he sounded great. And Bobby's voice is sounding better than ever too. Some highlights for me night 1 were Althea, New Speedway of course, and the golden road (I was just so happy to NOT hear Jackie Greene singing this one) The Gloria was amazing too, Bobby really comes to life during this song. Night 2 I was wondering, what's left to play, and every song they played I'm like, oh yea! The Sugaree and Terrapin were both great. I swear there were points that you couldn't even hear the boys singing because of the crowd! And the place was super small. And the Help>Slip>Franklins was unbelieveable. For me one interesting thing I haven't heard anyone mention is they're not doing drums. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I love hearing them. But I just do not get all the negativity people are putting out there about this. Like we always say about DSO shows, fine, more room for me. But I think this is gonna be a big thing.

Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted December 15, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 The Gloria was amazing too, Bobby really comes to life during this song. With the rap talking about Headline News (I think he's a fan of that show) and Gloria reading his future from his hands telling him that he's "going to be alright!" I've only listened to a few songs but there is some good stuff there. And I'm saying that after blasting disc 3 of 2/24/74 on the way home (god is that a great sounding Serafin board of an incredible show--disc 3 is the D Star>Dew>Sugar>NFA>GDTR>NFA!!)--something happened to my disc 3 so I had to get in again and HAD to listen to it again. encore Baby Blue... but that one is a little devastating because it's going to be the greatest thing in the world because it's a beautiful sounding board of an early Baby Blue, but he screw up on the lyric "forget about the dead u left, they will not come for you!" which is THE lryic in Garcia's Baby Blues...but kind of makes up for it with screaming the lyric "strike another match, go start anew!" 10 seconds later, which is a pretty incredible lyric too, when you think about it.
