That Dark Star was simply beautiful ! Review to come - I’m gassed

Not a huge fan of this venue but they can't all be The Anthem. Security was mostly chill - a few crowd control measures that were unnecessary but eventually they calmed down and let folks do their thing. After the first couple songs, Bill K & I decided to sacrifice a little sound for the freedom to jump and spin. 1st set was really tight from the jump and was pleased that my energy was right there - even after standing in a field for 8 hours cheering on my kids to precede the show. Every song was it's own adventure for me (even without vitamins)! Nice to see El Paso come up and that one was a romp! Silky, spacy Bird Song and a poignant Box of Rain were my favorite of the set. That was until Playin came up. They featured it prominently a couple shows ago - far from a bad penny, this one had all the ooze, melt, and spacy that makes me swoon! Shit - if they play that song like they just did, feel free play it every damn show - don't mind that kinda repeat! Pretty nice spot stage-right to let this music move us - sweaty smiles going into setbreak! 2nd Set was really excellent! Not really a Wave That Flag guy but DSO put it on the map for me. A little more Cowboy until we got to the Dark Star. So many layers and themes to this one which made it a joy to dance to! Love and Light, Darkness and Fear, Happy and Bright, culminating in a full melt before it's structure returned. Simply Aced it! Oh - and then we get treated to a fat and stretched out Eyes that almost felt like another dark star towards the end as it bounced back and forth from Joy to Fear and back again! I love when the band does that - just bleeping with us. A haunting and deliberate China Doll was a great way to forge ahead - even as heartbreaking as that song is. The closing salvo almost had a desperate energy to it - at least me desperately trying to keep up with the pace. Around x 2 started compactly before breaking forward with all of the fanfare! Out of breath now but the band paused for the next song. Thankful. I noticed that the crowd was super quiet here (they suffered from some Low-T in my opinion - pun possibly intended). No hoots, yells, hollers, just quiet. Once of the Rob's asked if we were having a good time which elicited some response but then went quiet again Weird. Well.... They simply ripped that GDTRFB > OMSN. Ripped it. NOW the crowd was like holy bleep and the cheers yelling and screaming started filling in between the notes. Casey had a similar effect until Lisa brought the house down for Piece of my Heart ❤! It was a really great show for me with really inspired dancing for Bill K and other usual suspects! Even though I felt like the band deserved a more spirited crowd given how excellent they sounded, it was a really great night and I'm super thankful for DSO and crew! I've been travelling on the toughest road of my life so I really, really needed what DSO and dancing friends delivered. THANK YOU 🥰

Second on the TN return 😃

I remember seeing Walrus during Terrapin Nation sets (bring ‘Em back!). Awesome. So was there an octopus garden too or did PG mix them up?

I have a ticket for the show this Saturday but won’t be able to make it. I’d be happy with $20 for the ticket. Will transfer thru Ticketmaster. Hope this helps someone looking! 🥰

First Don’t Need Love in 326 shows, last was 10/12/18, nice 😄

Loved the dancing! Saw old Wofford friends ; good to be among the terriers. Fun dance space. Overpriced drinks. The venue staff security were assholes. I watched them send women away with their purses that were reasonably sized and even on point because they said that they were too big. Problem is women clothes typically lack pockets, so what’s a girl to do with her things I mean they say they don’t want women to dress like men, what do they expect? I mean my purse is the same size as one dude’s cargo pants. This is archaic I told the security guy he needed to be less a Barney fife, and more of an Andy Griffith enough of the diatribe. down with the patriarchy ! I spent the night dancing and detoxing from the daily grind. It was so good to hear Mattson psychedelic guitar iand hear good music. The whales sounds coming out of space calling attention to the stage . Great dance crowd during good loving. et 1: Feel Like A Stranger- powerful and fun like 80s were ; It Must Have Been The Roses ;lovely On The Road Again so fun. One of the gems of the 80s to hear that one. Love a good jig ; Jack-a-Roe ; 🥰😍I’ve learned to play on guitar. And I was Ginger Roger’s during this song . It's All Over Now ; Cumberland Blues short jam ; The Music Never Stopped Ahhhhh! Set 2: Cold Rain And Snow 🌹to Dirkstar and all the wonderful people he brought into my life; prayers for his sun. Grateful. RIP ; Lost Sailor > Saint Of Circumstance what more to say? . > Don't Need Love sold it ! to the highest bidder… maybe the security guard…. > Uncle John's Band like a balm to the soul. Calm and sense reign supreme drums > space > Playing In The Band reprise >Uncle John's Band reprise > Morning Dew Encore: Good Lovin' Filler: Playing In The Band with Lisa!! -> Love the One You're With sooooo good …..the vocals were perfect harmony.

We need to pray for no more rain at least for next weekend. Legend valley has 3 straight fest weekends of fests which destroyed the vip camping area. This weekend they are getting wet. Just need it to stay dry for the grass to grow. Cars driving is the culprit as the bowl camping was dry and mud free.
