Thank you GratefulSets. First set Eyes of the World occurred eight times, the final one at Giants 91 after a handful in 73 and 74, one in 75. Let Me Sing Your Blues Away, six total plays in a 13 day stretch from 9/8 to 9/21. That's a short shelve life. Again shout out to GratefulSets, the ultimate website for the OCD Dead fan. (Raising hand). Praise DSO.

How about that? Praise DSO.

Who's in / where? Excitement building. I'll be at Charlottesville and Harrisburg, Hampton Beach (x2) possible Burlington. Hoping to get in the water in Hampton Beach, may be a stretch. Safe travels everyone. Praise DSO.

Welcome Mark. See you out there. Enjoy. Praise DSO.

Looks like a festvial situation. Any intel on how many sets of DSO we will get? Only one other act on Sunday. Doors 3 / Show 4. Hmm. Praise DSO.

After glow is real. Praise DSO.

Some would love a Summer 85 Boxset release this year. Praise DSO.

Band announced second set list before they started. While I don't know every note of the Woodstock set, to me sounded like every effort was made to accurately recreate, and you felt it. With that said, would not doubt our band delivered it even better than the original. Those two statements are a complete contradiction, its kind of hard to describe. Are there any better words heard than, "We have a whole bunch of time left" after two wonderful sets of Grateful Dead music? And when they jump back into it with Allligator, the primal parade continues. Just sprinkles on top. Eleven crushed. Close with Woodstock at Woodstock. Music ends. Unreal. Dream world. Fill your water bottle one last time, drive 5 hours home, put everything away, shower, sit down on your couch. Did that all really happen? I am on the happy side of 200 DSO shows seen and may have to look very hard at my inventory to find a better example of all the spokes working in harmony. What a night. I know I say it lot, but geez. Praise DSO.

A little birdie had told me in Deerfield the goods may be delivered in Bethel, that bird really knew what he was talking about. The show experience has many spokes--venue, dance space, company, headspace, setlist--last night pegged the needle on all of them. Call out sick to work, Chase the primal. The 69 in Wilmington disguised itself well during the first set, Friend of Mine second set opener the clincher. This one did not disguise. After a China>Rider opener, the Schoolgirl clearly announced the ride we were in for. The keystone of the show the beautifully crafted first set elective chock full of primal, deep cuts, Cryptical sandwich sans Other One, the emotional rollercoaster of Death Don't>Dancin', and a hammer down Viola to close the set. We had a great group behind the soundboard enjoying life affirming music with the backdrop of a perfect summer evening in upstate NY. Set Break.

Fantastic recap SFW. Great weekend.

Anxiously awaiting further review, SpringFallandWinter. Fabulous show capture so far. Spent the show at the top of the floor in the dance zone. Good times were had. Praise DSO.

Balance out the Charlie letdown. Praise DSO.
