Sold out show. Happy for the band. There was no getting to the floor. Was oppressively packed. The crowd was full of vigor. Greg Allman finally got his revenge on barraco for abusing his antique piano bench. Who knew playing the keys could be so dangerous. Luckily Rob B didn’t break a hip. It may be time to get one of those life alert systems in case you have another bench malfunction while at home playing. What’s weird is it wasn’t some antique bench. It looked like a modern professional folding one and it straight up broke and looked like was replaced by a drummers stool. Looked like it stung. We were oh shit he left the stage. We started asking who up in the balcony could play accordion and switch to Bruce style original. All kidding aside, we had a great run and got to get a break for the 1st time in a while and see 3 fantastic shows. Sort of rare to get 2 originals in a 3 show run, but to be honest we were prob the only ones who did all 3 of those. We met several who had been on tour for a while. I’m like cool did you do cincy. No man. That’s a haul. The only longer drive I can remember with no day off was Minnesota zoo to St. Louis for a 6pm St. Louis show. Needless to say I think no one attempted that combo in 2019. Meili tried to explain to a coworker why she was seeing the same band 3 straight nights. They will do completely different shows and songs all 3 nights. Yeah but they will play their hits every night right? So do people get mad if they don’t play their famous songs? It’s sort of funny trying to explain this scene and music. The dead had no hits but every song was a hit with a few exclusions like samba in the rain and dso ain’t busting that crap out.
cheers DSO. See you guys at Jubilee.
