I mostly agree with Rude. But there was that time at rams head, driggs, night 2 jubilee. I hate to think last night was one of those. Then there are those nights in Jamaica were they pure magic no matter what to me bc my heads space is perfect Usually how hard I engage and dance dictates my experience but we can’t deny sometimes the band is just on. We could be unable to move and know it was magic.

Love this quote: There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great – much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep. - Bob Dylan

Sounds like a powerful case for why you want to give more... .35 min.....! !

Dso plays most shows equally. It’s more about your state of mind and the company you keep. One of my top 10 in the last year wasn’t even a Dso show but our head space was as good as it could possibly get hanging with great friends. Rankings are the most subjective thing there is. I was miserable with injury West coast so I could never achieve lift off. I continually started to stand every few minutes b/c of the music only to realize I couldn’t. I was bummed and the music didn’t sound as good. If you are in a bad headspace about family, money, job etc, there’s no way to enjoy a show the same way. When I hear people say it was their favorite show it means they were ultra happy and that’s what it’s all about. I’ve heard people pan shows that I thought were brilliant because of the same things. If someone says it’s the best Dso ever then it is for them and that’s all the matters.

Turning that knife... I hope this one makes it to archive - really wanna hear that Scarlet > Fire 🔥

I took my buddy to his first show last night and he was mind blown and I couldn’t have been happier with that setlist. The 35 minutes scarlet fire knocked his socks off
