Second night at a great outdoor venue in Litchfield County. Beautiful cool night, clear sky, huge moon over the stage. Much drier than night 1. Highlights for me were Sugaree, interesting Estimated>TOO>Eyes combo and a perfect If I Had the World To Give that Jeff nailed. (I looked it up - first of only 3 times played by the dead.) It was great!

Great attending a real sit-in the grass DSO show. They always blow me away. Wish everyone could have been there. Drums and space was a different experience, with some crazy looking equipment being used by RK. Maybe some else from the show can clarify what it was. Highlights were: High Healed Boys where RobB seemed stronger and confident with each verse; The Wheel; and TStation. i enjoy their electives, but like hardpan, i was hoping for a closer above and beyond the Johnny B Goode classic i think a circle ⭕️ not square fits my dance style, and i found an unoccupied square next to some DSO regulars, who eventually all realized they needed a much larger square that could hold all of them and not just 2 at a time. I think either the staff removed them for multiple square breaches, or they all decided to go dance in the parking lot because at some point i looked over and they were gone... i was all alone. didnt have a ticket for tonight and the staff was not allowing people to walk around or even hold up a miracle finger . You were told like children to put your finger down... southFarms police state bizzaro world right now... anyone going tonight will have good weather and great outdoor music.. also the stage projection screens were incredibly clear and had great closeup camera 🎥 work. I found myself watching the screen more often than the stage and didnt realize it. 🙏🏼DSO I forgot to checkout the merch. Need some new T’s , next time.

Tuesday night Basement Dance Party #4 delivered an experience complete with the full range of human emotion and Grateful Dead vintages. To keep things 2020, the band blew a fuse during the first set, temporarily slowing the journey to the other side. The group persevered to achieve bliss somewhere in the primal second set. The third included an early Fire and Terrapin and the 18 minute space from 94/10/01 took all on a journey through the multiple time space wormholes. The dance lab has been the secure, underground operations center to escape the ills of the surface in 2020. Set One 80/28/11 Lakeland Civic Center Arena, Lakeland, FL Jack Straw, Peggy-O, Rooster, Tennessee Jed, Passenger, Deep (Blown Fuse) Elem Blues, Looks Like Rain, Deal. Set Two 68/10/20 Greek Theater, Berkeley, CA School Girl, Lovelight, Dark Star>St. Stephen>The Eleven, Caution>Feedback. Set Three 77/04/25 Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain, Samson, Terrapin Station>Playin In the Band>Drums> 94/10/01 Boston Garden, Boston, MA Space>Last Time>Stella Blue>One More Sat. Nite. E: Liberty. Praise DSO.

Sat in the grid next to hardpan and his brother last nught. Rained the entire show (despite Rob E saying several times looks like the rain stopped). But SO worth it!!! Loved HCS opener. 2nd set was killer. Terrapin was full on. A few of us were predicting they'd come back post-space and close out with Let It Grow > Franklins to finish out the sandwich but I guess not. Maybe tonight? I'll be back there again.
