I deduce that OtherOne is referring to Garcia Birthday Band from Portland…they just played at the Crystal Ballroom to honor the 2/2/68 and 2/3/68 Crystal Ballroom shows…I bet it was fun 😉

Please consider my attendance at the Wilkes Barre shows during set list formulation. Thank you. Praise DSO.

I feel my white whale, master’s Bouquet, got lost in the great Covid abyss that consumed the Hamilton acoustic shows that were about to unfold in DC when the shit hit the fan.

We were out there last year, the Menlo Park show the toughest DSO ticket I had ever seen. Miracle forces got me in the door. Thank you for the stream. Praise DSO.

Two years in a row the Left Coast got the early 69 goods. Napa last year. Praise DSO.

Good way to put it, Doc. You can strive to see the unseen. And sometimes it is best to let the sayable remain unsaid.

Yeah Tea, exactly. He started the set off with the acoustic for the Dupree’s and somewhere mid Mountains switched to electric as the jam drifted toward the Dark Star…. And there was Cosmic Charlie to open the encore filler before the Hard to Handle (not before Bid you Goodnight) That has absolutely got to be the best Monday night this here sack of bones has ever experienced…holy sheesh,,Ventura got the goods in a very cool small intimate venue (640 peeps) Full throttle all band craftsmanship leading the night through the most peculiar and wondrous caverns of outer space… Skip was absolutely on fire and exercising leadership throughout the night on so many of the jams…driving the train through such fantastic old school grease pits… Skip and Barracco were dialed in together tightly and carving all sorts of new ground together and clearly enjoying the hell out of it together…Those two held down and launched out a lot of the jams throughout the night and Barraco fully brought in the spirit of pigpen to the max…King Bee…ahhhhhhhh….Hey Jude…ahhhhhhh….lovelight…ahhhhhhh Note that this show was the first of just 2 times (both 69) that Pigpen sang Hey Jude…and didn’t show up again til late Brent era. extremely thankful that our timing included this show on a Monday night after the 2 rippin electives in Del Mar and LA…back outta the game now til Seattle/portland… Thanks for such a good time down here in SoCal!!!!

So pumped for this show. Thought I bought my ticket months ago, but it turns out, I actually never did. Oops. If anyone has an extra, I'd be very grateful. Thanks
