Guest eyesofvermont Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 yowza !!! dig it, Believe it or Not, Blow Away.....and Unbroken {w/Barraco singin' ???....how did the reprise come in?}.... Ohhhh man they brought it tonight. Absolutely killer, and I got one of Rob K's drumsticks! They jammed out of UBC during the jazzy middle jam, and then picked it back up again out of the Shakedown jam. Transition was smooth as can be.

His source for the set list was impeccable...and to be clear, my comment was about an auto speller that can't handle GD abbreviations and acronyms, not the operator. I'm sure the data input was just exactly perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted November 20, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 What was up with the balcony being closed before the show? That created a pile up in the isles... Eaton must've noticed as once the balcony opened he reminded everyone on the floor that they could go up there... Beautiful theater. Personal highlight was hearing RB say to himself in the mic "...how insane do you have to be to play that many shows?" I was surprised to hear RB sing Unbroken Chain... does Kevin not take the vocals on this anymore? Lisa began the first verse with Rob then stopped... I thought Lisa on lead vocal would have worked well in comparison. So grateful to have attended such a milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Mango Posted November 20, 2011 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 So. Ithaca. Before the show started they had the balcony closed, I guess because not enough tickests had been sold. As a result of this it was extremely crowded in the flat, upfront area. I started the show up by the stage, which worked for a few songs but really became unbearable at a certain point. The NFA opener took me right back to the 11th anniversary show which opened the same way. The jam went some interesting directions, especially for a show opener, and made a smooth but surprising transition into Jack Straw. Jack Straw was awesome. In fact, I think DSO always fires this tune up nicely. Mission in the Rain is a personal favorite of mine and we had listened to it a handful of times on the trip so it was sweet to be treated to this one. By about half way thru Bucket I had enough micro-dancing so I bailed out to the side where there was more space but terrible sound. A couple of minutes later I noticed people going up the stairs to the balcony so I followed suit and the rest of the show was dancing bliss. Awesome vibes up in the balcony, we all knew what we were there for. The second set is one i'd really love to hear again. I don't really know what to say that the setlist doesn't tell you- it was sick. It was really cool here barraco sing unbroken chain. No disrespect to Kevin intended here but rob sounded really good on this one. Comes a time was probably the highlight for me, the solo at the end was beautiful. Sweet blissful dancing. What an awesome show. What fun Long trek to rochester tmrw, but I suspect it will be well worth it. Love and blessings to all, the Mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted November 20, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 so are you saying it was not sold out ? .... Ithaca in November did not excite me .... but hey to each his own..... and yes the 2nd set is one that has a few heavyweight champion songs in it ...

Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted November 21, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It has actually been strangely warm up there... around 60 degrees all week... Also... forgot to mention a cool moment: Rob's reading of Lost Sailor>Saint... he took this one out pretty far, intense harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP found Posted November 21, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm gonna be honest. Probably my least favorite show of the 3 i saw to start the tour. I thought the band played really, really well but the setlist wasn't necessarily full of my favorites or maybe it just wasn't what I was expecting. I mean, to go from a killer Lisa Hurts Me Too with harmonica to a Loose Lucy, MAMU>Mexicali wasn't exactly my style. I just thought we'd be hearing some really unusual and rare kinds of things. Having said all that, I was so so so so happy to be there and experience this show. The NFA>Jack Straw Opener was a great start. I was up front for the beginning but I HAD to go get out of there. As Mango said, the sides had horrendous sound. The balcony was definitely the best spot. Great dancing space and sound. The Mission in the Rain was performed just how I like it. Mattson killed it. The HIAB had the band playing really well together and Eaton sounded great. The PITB had a really good jam. Unbroken sounded great with a Barraco. The Terrapin was soooo intense. That jam at the end went into fucking hyperdrive. WOW! The Shakedown was great for coming out of space. Got everybody dancing. I'm sure everyone agrees that Comes A Time was the song of the night though. Absolutely blissful. The whole sandwich coming together at the end was great, even though you could see it coming from a mile away. Forever Young was the perfect choice for filler. I really enjoyed myself and I can't wait to keep up with this tour. Got to pass on Rochester tonight but I'll be back on the bus in New Brunswick all the way through both NYC shows. I think the band sounds better than they ever have as a unit and as individual musicians. Big thanks to the band and crew for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudds94 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 My husband and I really enjoyed the show. We got the feeling that all the songs had a certain meaning in the history of DSO and loved how they sandwiched Playin', UJB, Unbroken Chain all in a huge NFA sandwich...... Yummy!!! And superb Comes A Time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
