Some would love a Summer 85 Boxset release this year. Praise DSO.

Band announced second set list before they started. While I don't know every note of the Woodstock set, to me sounded like every effort was made to accurately recreate, and you felt it. With that said, would not doubt our band delivered it even better than the original. Those two statements are a complete contradiction, its kind of hard to describe. Are there any better words heard than, "We have a whole bunch of time left" after two wonderful sets of Grateful Dead music? And when they jump back into it with Allligator, the primal parade continues. Just sprinkles on top. Eleven crushed. Close with Woodstock at Woodstock. Music ends. Unreal. Dream world. Fill your water bottle one last time, drive 5 hours home, put everything away, shower, sit down on your coach. Did that all really happen? I am on the happy side of 200 DSO shows seen and may have to look very hard at my inventory to find a better example of all the spokes working in harmony. What a night. I know I say it lot, but geez. Praise DSO.

A little birdie had told me in Deerfield the goods may be delivered in Bethel, that bird really knew what he was talking about. The show experience has many spokes--venue, dance space, company, headspace, setlist--last night pegged the needle on all of them. Call out sick to work, Chase the primal. The 69 in Wilmington disguised itself well during the first set, Friend of Mine second set opener the clincher. This one did not disguise. After a China>Rider opener, the Schoolgirl clearly announced the ride we were in for. The keystone of the show the beautifully crafted first set elective chock full of primal, deep cuts, Cryptical sandwich sans Other One, the emotional rollercoaster of Death Don't>Dancin', and a hammer down Viola to close the set. We had a great group behind the soundboard enjoying life affirming music with the backdrop of a perfect summer evening in upstate NY. Set Break.

Very special show dedicated to Dave who would have loved this! Very strong, first set and the second set was great. Excellent High time. loved the cryptical -death don't have no mercy in set 1. and the third set just blew me away.. for someone that is a fan of early dead this was not a show to be missed. It looked like jeff was in his glory on that third set, and the steven will tell eleven alligator! Jeff looked like he was channeling the spirit of what the grateful dead were all about in the third set. Of course, Barracco vocals on pig pen tunes and keys was awesome. Drums amazing and eaten look like he was having a blast all night long. Encore: Woodstock!! Almost forgot, dancing in the streets and love light were spectacular. Any verbal or written description of last night pales in comparison to the experience of what was happening.

Looks like an elective set 1 and then the Woodstock set to start set 2 (8/16/69)- then more originals to close it.. Not 100%, but I’ll bet it was 100% awesome❤️ China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Good AM Little Schoolgirl, Silver Threads and Golden Needles.

Been a while since I’ve caught this band but man that was a good show. Great sound and great views at Pier 17, and a surprisingly chomper-free crowd (if you were willing to move around a bit). First set and pre-drums was especially awesome - 2nd slot Race Is On followed by H>S>F really threw me for a guessing loop. And the Skip Zone was the place to be - he was killing it with that 6 string.
