First of two monster performances at Merriweather. Band amazingly energized, check the rainbow of textures provided by Brent throughout. Keep On Growing one of four and only first setter, counting the Greek breakout 85/06/14 set 1.5. Second opens with a high water mark Shakedown, scorching final jam. Of the five Crypticals in 85, two did not wrap the Other One, this play skipping the outro. The Bobby twofer to close a romp. Praise DSO.

Gimme Some Lovin'> China Cat Sunflower>Rider> Playin' In the Band>Drums>Space>The Wheel> Playin' reprise>China Doll>Sugar Magnolia. E: Touch of Grey. A personal favorite from loosey, goosey 1985.

Lovelight*, Last Time, Ramble On Rose, Ripple. * w/ Lou on harmonica. The Dave Jacobsen Retirement Party delivers on all levels of emotion. An amazing guitarist and wonderful person sails off into the sunset with an epic performance in front of a deep rainbow of lovely people in the Baltimore Dead Head community. I found Dave in 2018 and missed few performances, Lou on harmonica had played with Dave in different bands for 30 years. Jack Straw just kills as a opener. Althea and Mr. Charlie first set stand outs. Stranger rocks, Eyes>China>Rider wicked triad. Third set a gravy boat, and all delivered flawlessly. The loving family feel between all in the crowd and the band a real special treat. So glad I made It. Love you Dave. Praise DSO.

China>Rider boss. Star>drums>Eyes Dreamy. Praise DSO.

22/05/17 Jefferson Theatre, Charlottesville, VA Original Recipe Help on the Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower, Masterpiece, Easy to Love You, Easy to Slip, Loose Lucy, Broken Arrow, Simple Twist of Fate, You Ain't Women Enough, Might As Well. Jack Straw, So Many Roads, Unbroken Chain> New Speedway Boogie>St. Stephen>Drums> Space>Corrina>Comes A Time>St. Stephen> Goin' Down the Road. E: Way You Do the Thing You Do. Slick elective fills a quirky old theater in front of an unsuspecting local audience. H-S-F a 'means business' opening sequence. Easy to Love You had boys checking the songbooks, Slip the twofer. Simple Twist not the JGB odyssey, 'tighter' version minus the bass solo. Lisa really nailed the Women Enough, everyone getting a chance at the mike in the first. MAW a lovely close. First bled into the second with opening pair, both delivered with conviction. The Unbroken>Speedway> Stephen the sweet gooey middle, UBC the launch point to a monster Speedway, the turn on a dime intro to the Stephen spectacular. Have caught Corrina here a couple times, it works. Found some balcony space for the Comes a Time, the Stephen reprise setting the table for a kicking Goin' Down the Road finale. Way You Do selection indicative of the carefully culled evening list. Thanks Band and Crew. On to the Caverns. Praise DSO.

22/05/13 InDead Nation, The Still, Timonium, MD Shakedown Street, They Love Each Other, All Over Now, Candyman, Althea, Catfish John, Cumberland Blues, Mama Tried, Big Railroad Blues.

Hard To Handle, Mojo Working, Peggy-O, Deep Elem Blues, Touch of Grey, The Weight. The departing Dave Jacobson delivers a truly inspired performance on a murky Friday evening in Timonium. Extra chunky versions abound throughout. The Althea/ Catfish/Cumberland especially special, Big RR a band favorite and a raucous set close. Second set full of high quality standards, China>Rider a romp, full boar Other One, Sugar Mags brought down the house. First two of the third with guest on harp, super jam in the HTH. Deep Elem my personal highlight, Closing duo heavenly. So much fun. Thanks Band. Praise DSO.

22/05/12 Sherman Theater, Stroudsburg, PA Original Recipe Promised Land, Brown-Eyed Women, All Over Now, Dire Wolf, Tom Thumb Blues, Brother Esau, Row Jimmy, Passenger, Candyman, Feel Like A Stranger. Gimme Some Lovin'. Ship of Fools, Estimated Prophet> Jam>Dark*Star>Drums>Space>Imagine Space> Reuben and Cherise>Watchtower>World to Give> Johnny B. Goode. E; Werewolves of London Locomotive comes roaring out of the station in a quaint old theater on mild Thursday evening in North East PA. Spent the first on the rail, a lovely position to watch the set unfold. Bob selections just mashed, funky intro to the All Over Now, Esau a romp, I dig Passenger in a big way, Stranger a strong set close. GSL fun drop to the second, solid Estimated. The Jam into the Star a sight to behold and a highlight of the evening. I lost my marbles on the Reuben, dreamy placement in the set. The ride home professionally delivered. Band just hit the ground running, look out May. Praise DSO.

22/05/06 InDeadNation The Recher, Towson, MD Truckin', Sugaree, Ramble On Rose, Loser, Stagger Lee, Memphis Blues, Tennessee Jed, Mexicali Blues, Loose Lucy. West LA Fadeaway, Jack Straw, Foolish Heart, Scarlet Begonias>Fire on the Mountain, Box of Rain, Ripple, Casey Jones, We Bid You Goodnight. A Friday rainy slough through rush hour traffic well worth the sacrifice for a couple sets from my favorite local Dead band. I had the dance floor to myself for long stretches and took full advantage. Jack Straw, Scarlet>Fire personal highlights. Venue's a bar that transforms to college bar at 10:00 when we finish up, interesting transition. I had three lovely coeds with me for the Casey Jones. Ah to be young. I tacked on the second set from 87/03/26 in the basement when I got home to cap the evening. See everyone in Strousburg. Happy Mother's Day. Praise DSO.

E: Black Muddy River. Rex Foundation benefit Last Race Is On: 86/05/03 [212] Happy Birthday to the pinnacle of my Grateful Dead shows. A perfect marriage of venue, headspace and band performance on a lovely Saturday afternoon in Palo Alto. Spent the afternoon within eyeshot of the Big Man, and had several looks shoot through me like a lightning bolt. Inspired performance throughout, ten song first, only China>Rider set close I saw, 1 of 2 Race Is Ons. Endless second set, Jerry MIDI breakout, Steve Parrish handing him a generic white guitar for the Space>Take You Home. A dreamy day. Praise DSO. https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1989/05/06

85/04/27 Frost Amphitheatre, Palo Alto, CA Dancin' In the Streets>Bertha, Little Red Rooster, Brown-Eyed Women, Brother Esau, Ramble on Rose, Tom Thumb Blues>Cold Rain and Snow> Music Never Stopped. Scarlet Begonias>Eyes of the World>Goin' Down the Road>Women Are Smarter>Drums>Space> The Wheel>Truckin'>Other One>Black Peter> Around and Around>One More Saturday Nite. E: Day Job. Have always enjoyed the lists that were being churned out in 1985, and this performance on a Saturday afternoon at the Frost no exception. Opening triad slick, Esau underrated fun, the closing triad another mini tour de force, love the late CRS. Opening three of the second what caught my eye and sent me down the wormhole. Amazingly the only Scarlet>Eyes, what a twofer. Goin' Down the Road attached to Eyes only three times, all in 1985 [2/18,4/27,6/27]. These types of list anomalies why I love 1985 so, and three Jerrys in a row to boot. Post space lengthy and chock full of goodies. Enjoy. Praise DSO. https://archive.org/details/gd85-04-27.sbd.jerugim.359.sbeok.shnf

22/04/16 InDeadNation, State Fare, Catonsville, MD Mississippi Half Step, Feel Like A Stranger>Franklin's Tower, Althea, Brown-Eyed Women, So Many Roads, Me and My Uncle> Big River, Shakedown Street. China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, Terrapin Station, Harder They Come, Goin' Down the Road>Morning Dew, One More Saturday Nite. MY local Dead band provides the gambit of human emotion on a drizzly Saturday evening in Baltimore. Franklin's strong. Althea positively nailed. So Many Roads a work in progress and the Shakedown a boogie fest to close the first. The second a chunky delight, China>Rider superb, the Terrapin stirring, Goin Down the Road a favorite and the Dew inspired. At set break I was informed Dave Jacobsen, Jerry in an Orioles cap, is retiring to coastal NC to fish and enjoy the slow life. He will leave a huge gap in two Dead cover bands in MD and will be sorely missed. I spent the second set tearfully dancing in hysterics, reminded of how fragile all things are. If you have the chance to see him before he hangs it up, I would suggest it. Next up May 6 at the Rec Room in Towson, MD. Praise DSO.

Many have far more knowledge than me. I'm just OCD with a hard copy of Dead Base. Praise DSO.
