Daniel Lanois at The Imperial Theater here in Sarnia, Ontario. He was in really good spirits and delivered a 2 hour performance with his two band mates: Jermaine on drums and vocals and Jim Wilson on bass. Tonight opened with 15 minutes of his ethereal space jam played on a DJ style box with control knobs and theramin like feedback, subtle but rocking, then we got Fire, All Fall Down, I love you, Shine, the maker , JJ Leaves LA (on pedal steel), Under a Stormy Sky, Silver Riding Silverado, Moondog, Still Water, Sonho(Pedal song to close) Non stop 7:30-930,. Probably won't get to see him for awhile now.

.......that I'm happy that I've found a place that LOVES DSO as much as I do!!!!! Pleased to meet you! Mark here. First post, yada yada. I'll give y'all the crib notes. I got on the GD bus in 2006 and have never looked back! Have many reasons why it took me so long but that's for another day. In retrospect, quite bummed about that fact but the only thing that matters is that I am NOW ON BOARD!!!! (And have been religiously for the past 20 years) Had an awesome friend who continuously sent me live Dead shows (on my request) over a long period of time. Got about 150 shows, mostly SB or high quality audience. Anywho, I got on the DSO bus LATE as well..... 10-15-2023, The Signal, Chattanooga, and was so blown away that I've seen the boys (and girl) 15 more times over the past 2 1/2 years. 90% of which I had to board a plane to get to them. To me, they are the greatest band on the planet and I've seen shitloads of bands all over the world. Trust me, I KNOW that I am NOWHERE near the league that most of you are in, seeing the Dead and DSO 100's and even 1000's of times, but know this: I LOVE THIS BAND, almost more than anything in this world and I will continue to do everything in my power to see them as many times as I can until the day I die. To me, they are a gift from God. Mark We'll be back in just a little bit.........................

Thanks for the welcome, John and Bill! And yes, you will see me out there if you are 2 or 3 back from the rail in front of Rob Eaton. It certainly takes every band member to create this awesome sound of the GD, but Rob, IMO, is the engine that runs the machine of DSO. God Bless ALL OF THEM!!! My last 2 shows were at the Tree House Brewing Company, June 15th and 16th and both were magical nights but my greatest moment of those shows was during the second show where the transition from Scarlet to Fire was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!!! OMG!!! I would pay $1000 to witness that shit again!!!! Every single show they fricking blow me away multiple times!!!! GOD BLESS THEM! ~ Hope everyone has had a great 'Days Between' and Jerry'd-it-UP as best you can! Tomorrow is a sad day but we still have his music, memories, and his loving soul to help us thru. (and DSO!) 🥰 God bless you, Jerry. Mark

Just to get it on the record… Took the flying aluminum tube to Oakland to see my first DSO in California. The weekend was spectacular…great music, people, weather Two quite different shows but equally enjoyable in their own unique way. 7/31 tribute to Bobby with JGB opening (kinda weird since 8/1 is well 8/1 but I am sure scheduling conflicts in play) Melvin was ridiculously good… Many guests some of which I saw 2 weeks ago in Indianapolis seeing Barraco and Skeleton Crewe were a part of DSO sets. I still see in my mind 6 percussionists banging on Rob/Dino drum kits 8/1 Jerry birthday…suffice to say the DarkStar->El Paso->Eyes->Dew->Sugar Mag is why I’ve seen this band for 27 years. DSO still surprises me just how good they are. Of course saw many friends even though my first time dancing to DSO in the golden state. Not sure where next adventure will be but isn’t that the point.

Bro, there's no "leagues". Just the love, passion, and connection with the music. Now having scolded you, welcome! 😁 And your passion seems palpable. If you want GD in its purest mold, you've come to the right place...
