Killer show last night, really enjoyed the Sugaree and Bird Song during the first set. Short first set at 6 songs and 55 minutes, but hearing that the band was playing really well left us with high hopes for a monstrous second set. The second set did not disappoint in the monstrous department, all the way through. Fat grooves on Shakedown and Women are Smarter, powerful Terrapin, Rob pummeling the theater's structural integrity with the low beam frequencies during drums, GDTRFB had all hands on deck and moving along. The setlist seemed familiar, and by the time Watchtower came I knew I had listened to this show a good bit, and had a good idea of what show it was, my first time guessing one correctly. The Dew was tremendous, and the Good Lovin sandwich let us all shake it out once more. Knockin on Heavens Door to bring us all back in for a soft landing, only to blow the doors out again with a juicy China-> Rider to remind us all, once again, who the reigning champions of the Grateful Dead music are.

I wonder what Jeff thought about the feel of playing Wolf, and if using it gave him any palpable sense of mystique. I guess that's a broad question, as it goes to both the feel of how he likes the instrument as well as to more visceral stuff regrading the intensity of playing one of Jerry's most cherished guitars. I know he doesn't post here, but if he had any specific thoughts he'd consider sharing maybe another band member could ask Jeff if he'd let them share it here?

What a special evening. Fantastic energy from the band. Lively crowd. Matson owned the Wilbur, just incredible playing, and from the whole band. The Wolf really did sound special. Clear and warm, high in the mix. So many highlights. Always love hearing Cassidy. Jack Straw best I’ve ever heard. Great Half Step and whole second set. Black Peter always gets me, Matson channels something in this song. As always, thank you to the band and crew for bringing us this amazing music. Sound was amazing. Brought a few new folks along and so glad they were able to see a special recreation. Almost tragic not to have official releases from this spectacular Wilbur run of 69, 72 and now 78. Luckily audience recordings for the last two, hopefully one from this Thursday’s magic. There’s nothing like a DSO show.

9/18/87 MSG !!! filler china rider (short feelin groovy jam)

He was filming the two Cap shows for the Relix streams. He said it was him along with five other fixed cameras throughout the theater, with a guy running them with a joystick and operating the feed. The DSO Facebook page has a few songs from the beginning of each of the four sets posted.
