Taper Ron Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 DSO just announced they have added a show at the Granada Theater, Lawrence, KS Monday 25 September, the night before the Salina show. Lawrence is a nice little town, just 28 miles down the road from me, and where I first saw DSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted July 5, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Unfortunately already Booked my Boulder flight as 2 shows on the way might have flipped it to road trip from 4-day weekend. Guess you can't do them all. If I was solo I'd have done the 5 there and Omaha back but not everyone can work from their laptops. The gf has to actually show up at the hospital for her internship and she's become the driving force for me on tour and after last week the GD is officially her favorite band and she stated that for the record(van Morrison is a very close 2nd). She now plays it constantly. She plays a lot of DSO too. They are by far her fav current dead band as she loves the fast paced, proper Dead style(I actually think DSO may be a faster, harder rocking style of dead than the dead was). But live, she likes them all. Last night she's like lets just put on some dead instead of watching a movie. I guess this is how parents feel when their kids say their 1st words or learn to walk. I properly brainwashed her. I know I've been talking about this a lot lately. I guess if was because I actually never thought that the dead would be her favorite music but all of you fantastic people here on the board and many not on here showed so much love to us both, it's hard to not associate the love and the music. Took 46 DSO and 5 deadco shows until that declaration so I shoved it down her throat lol. Plus weekends like Berkeley, Boulder, NOLA, Chicago just add to it all. I can say definitively, that there is no more fun to be had than doing a run on tour. Maybe im happy because now I can do as much tour as I want and know I'll get no friction. As I type im thinking that may be the key to it all. If there's a show and it clashes with some other event, I know I'll get my show. Let the good times roll!!

I noticed the increased interest by ML the few times I’ve been fortunate enough to be around you two. It shows in her cute smile. It’s always inspiring to see how the music grows into someone. Last week DSO played a van Morrison song. Was that especially for ML or was that part of the Dead’s repertoire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted July 6, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I can't find any evidence the Grateful Dead ever played And it Stoned me. Jerry Garcia band did quite a bit, but no Grateful Dead version I can find. I checked the deadbase, but its definitely been apart of DSO repertoire.

Forum MVP Rude Posted July 6, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Meant dso has done and it stoned me. JGB did lots of van morrison as well as post GD concoctions, but GD only played 1 van morrison tune, Gloria, which was written by Van morrison but played by his band, Them.

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted July 6, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I got a Jerry and Merl show from 1/15/72 on youtube where Jerry definitely sings Tupelo Honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating! There is no reference in GarciaBase to Tupelo Honey, meaning that as of its last printing there were no known versions. But, on the "updates" section (not able to be combined into the actual Base as the software is apparently cooked), they move the venue on 1-15-72 from Lion Share to Keystone Korner and include a set list that indeed shows Tupelo. Meaning that to date this is the only known version. Somehow the recording itself eluded me as well, so I just obtained it, although it's a reel-to-reel that has suffered 2 cassette generations and most song beginnings are clipped. Nonetheless, this does appear to be a little sliver of gold! Thanks, Mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted July 7, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I listened casually to some 1-15-72 tonight and then seriously to the Tupelo. Sadly, the fidelity of this source is no better than its lineage suggests. That said, my goodness does Jerry play a beautiful solo on Tupelo. Van Morrison can only dream that he ever had a guitar player on stage with him at any time during his career hitting any semblance of those notes. The concept that Garcia could pull off such masterful shit as this in a song done briefly (if not just this once) and then forgotten is what ultimately makes his legacy so unfathomable.

Forum MVP Rude Posted July 7, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah its not a great source. Unfortunately that was the only one I believe. Im surprised Jerry never pulled that one out again. Seems like its right in the JGB wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
