Woke up yesterday with a weird feeling that DSO was gonna do something special at the base of some stacked steel in the little town of Bethlehem, PA. I wasn't prepared for what they layed down. The joint was jumping, packed in like sardines on the floor. First set highlights for me were Jack Straw, Supplication, & Dancin'. Reality didn't set in until set break when I realized what we were witnessing and what the 2nd set was going to be like. DSO didn't disappoint brining the thunder in the 2nd set. They opened a portal that brought the spirits of Jerry, Phil, and Keith on to the stage where they collectively all had grins and nodded in approval. I don't think there are 7 other people on the planet who could have pulled off what happened in that second set (sans a couple drummers who could have sat in) and it only took them 3,343 shows to get dialed in. Truly a special night. Any time you get the chance to see DSO on a weekday in Pennsylvania don't waste the opportunity. Epic things happen
