All Activity

We are gonna fly to DC for this 11/21 show. Will be my maiden voyage at the Anthem. Promises to be quite festive.

Stoaked for Harrisburg, on the water, hotel walking distance. Hoping for a Liberty encore

Recently discovered the "click on a number" in the songs section, i.e. Alabama First set Opener. That's some nice work. Praise DSO.

Guess so. Still nice to see a little activity round here. Hope you're well friend. Praise DSO.

Crickets - don’t worry tho, you’re friends will be wherever you are. Have a blast buddy ❤️

How about DSO history 2001-09-08 Show# 546 Tipitina's Uptown New Orleans, LA Click Here for Setlist GD 01/11/1979 Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, NY This was my tenth DSO show. By then I had met and hung out with the crew after shows and met nearly all of the band, except Rob Koritz and Lisa. That night I met Rob between sets and we had a chance to actually talk. Then he took me Backstage and introduced me to Lisa. "Mean" Willie Green sat in with the Band that night on Drums and Percussion. I also met him (Didn't know who he was at the time.

Lot of love indeed! ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Let Me Sing Your Blues Away, six total plays in a 13 day stretch from 9/8 to 9/21. That's a short shelve life. Again shout out to GratefulSets, the ultimate website for the OCD Dead fan.

Who's in / where? Excitement building. I'll be at Charlottesville and Harrisburg, Hampton Beach (x2) possible Burlington. Hoping to get in the water in Hampton Beach, may be a stretch. Safe travels everyone. Praise DSO.

Ron, can’t tell you how grate it is to see you posting here occasionally. Those of us who been around here for a while gotta a lotta love for you brother!! Keep on keepin on!! ❤️

You are welcome Mark! I'm still trying to learn myself. You're Never too old to learn something new, learn something every day!

Holy shit. I just now saw those emojis or whatever they are on the right side of the posts! LOL! I am SO old school and basically ANTI-social media literate because I just don't want to go down that road. My life has been fking superb W/O any of that crap! Simple and REAL is the way I like to live. But whatever, Taper Ron, thanks for the insight!!! And taking the time to explain things. The word "react" is the key word, and that stuff is on the right side of the posts! I thought it meant "respond". The newbie is still in the learning stages................ What I'm NOT learning about is how much I love listening to LIVE GD and going to DSO shows!!!! 14 Dayz........... I feel lucky! (Time to hit the "play" button for one of the best Shakedowns-----06-30-85, and CRANK IT!!!!!) Mark

Saw Skeleton Krewe play it at mousetrap albeit in July

Warning thread drift~ with all the fore mentioned renditions of Jolene ~ This makes me wonder how many dead bands played Days Between during the Days Between. It's been in my repertoire since 2009 after seeing John K perform it with DSO at a show in Boulder (without a monitor). When memorized and then emotionally delivered, it's quite the experience for both performer and audience.

Ton of tributes. Probably seen 4 live Jolene’s in the last week by different artists and got a 9 to 5 and more at Billy’s freak fair fest. Well deserved. No one is was universally loved as Miss Dolly Parton it seems. RIP

If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice

The best examples, IMHO, of lyrics invading one's mind, is when by whatever reason a familiar Dead song throws up a few lines that you interpret anew. For me, this is most typical with Garcia/Hunter material. It usually happens based on a new life experience, but it can also happen out of nowhere by a surprisingly fresh interpretation. To wit: despite Jerry shelving it after 3 live plays, I consider If I Had The World To Give top notch Garcia/Hunter stuff. And I digress by noting DSO seems to agree, as it pops up more than occasionally in elective shows. More digression: this shit fascinates me - what made Jerry take up great songs that he poingently delivered only to abandon them? Sing Me Back Home and She Belongs To Me are a couple other good examples. World To Give is classic Hunter, whereby its thrust is powerfully uplifting, only to go against that grain while not in obvious fashion (and of course we all know Hunter thrived on the non-obvious nebulous verse). Anyway, I'm trying to get to lines I heard in a newfound darkness. "Only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you." What an awful concept, and what an unhealthy sentiment.
