Would imagine you have me by a couple hundred shows. I muster about ten a year. Praise DSO. I excluded a few "Jam" songs, China Cat jam, Dark Star jam, when working this exercise. Got Gloria at State Theater recreating 85/11/01 Praise DSO.

Listening to transition to the Eleven while cleaning my bathroom on a grey Sunday morning, I recalled Tea for a time had this song as a white whale in his show attendances. Mind wandering began. DSO has provided so much material I would have never seen if not for the continuation of the Grateful Dead concert experience. What's left to see? Off to the wormhole. All information from DBX, so they maybe a play off here and there. I started with the yearly play summary in the DBX, which does exclude some 1/2/3 GD play songs (looking at you Money, Money, Card Board Cowboy, Master's Bouquet, sorry Greg) so there is a line in the sand as far as deep the catalog we look. Songs I had for sure seen the first filter and 76 songs remained to be seen. DSO setlists found 23 songs I had seen but was not sure, this was a super fun activity, scrolling through setlists searching for certain songs, finding out I actually saw Don't Need Love at the 9:30 in 2016. After those two filters, 53 songs remained to be seen. Songs were grouped in five groups: Acoustic, Played less than 10x by DSO, Played More than 10x by DSO, Never Played by DSO, Never Played by DSO the Late Years. Numbers after songs are GD Played/DSO Played. Acoustic: (10) I prefer electric, but could have gone to Hamilton and cross many of these off the list. All Around This World 18/1 Ain't No Lie 13/10 Cold Jordan 12/6 Heaven Help the Fool 17/21 Katie Mae 11/10 Rosaslie McFall 16/8 Sadie 6/3 Silver Threads 17/6 Swing Low 8/14 Wake Up Little Susie 14/21 DSO outpacing the boys on a couple of these. Played Less Than 10x by DSO (15) Baby What You Want 5/2 Bottom 9/3 Eternity 44/4 Hand Jive 6/9 Hey Bo Diddley 5/4 Hog For You 4/3 How Long Blues 4/2 Louie, Louie 8/2 Stealin' 4/2 Superstitous 8/2 Thin Man 8/1 That Would be Something 17/3 Walkin' the Dog 6/4 Way to Go 92/4 Who knew Way To Go Home was done four times, and once with Vince sitting in. And they did Eternity, hello 1999. Played More Than 10x by DSO (8) Green Green Grass 18/21 He Was Friend 17/21 Man's World 11/21 Mason's Children 18/18 Mountains of the Moon 12/27 Picasso Moon 77/35 New Potato Caboose 26/15 Tomorrow Is Forever 10/15 Psst. White Whale Alert. Never Played By DSO (9) Born Cross Eyed 13/0 Cream Puff War 8/0 Hi-Heeled Sneakers 5/0 Long Black Limousine 7/0 Seasons 5/0 She's Mine 4/0 Slew Foot 9/0 Standing on the Corner 4/0 You Don't Have to Ask 5/0 My life would be complete with a Cream Puff War. Never Played by DSO The Late Years (10) All Too Much 6/0 Baba O'Riley 12/0 Childhood's End 8/0 Easy Answers 44/0 Matilda 6/0 Samba In the Rain 38/0 Shoe Fits 17/0 Take Me 4/0 Want To Tell 7/0 Wave To Wind 21/0 Sure most like to block out this group, I managed to only duck Want To Tell. Did run the Samba ugly dog fanclub, someone had to do it. So back to the original question, What's left to See? The group of songs played more than 10x by DSO the best target group. Hard to believe I have not caught a Picasso, not really white whale material though. A friend is chasing Mason's Children, so will leave that one for him, and by the way keep playing that one. Mountains of the Moon and New Potato Caboose worthy of whale status. I'll add Walkin' the Dog from the less than 10X DSO plays and reaffirm my deep desire to experience Cream Puff War. Give yourself a gold star if you made it this far and feel free to share your own white whale stories below. Again Thanks Band and Crew. Praise DSO.

Adore the opening duo. Looks like a scorcher. Praise DSO.

Have a great show DD. Praise DSO.

Word. Praise DSO.

Continuing to poke me on that on one, the girlfriend and I got into a big tif over the one ticket scored, she went in. Praise DSO.

NIL and transfer portal have changed the game. Saban saw this coming and got out. Dominant programs gonna be much tougher to maintain. Hope you are ready SEC fans.

Got shut out that night. Enjoyed the other two, though. Praise DSO.

Finally got around to watching this on DVR, pretty neat stuff. The mention of Jerry got a nice round of applause. David Letterman did a fun discourse on the band. Various artists did Friend of the Devil, Ripple, Sugaree Not Fade Away closed the show. Praise DSO.

Seems the loss to Michigan got OSU focused. They looked good last night. Game vs. Oregon should be entertaining.

Yesterday's bike ride sponsored by 77/05/11 St. Paul. Monster. First set closer? A 14 minute Sugaree. Sugaree a first set closer five times (According to DBX) 76/09/25 Cap Center 76/10/09 Oakland Coliseum 77/05/11 St. Paul 78/02/01 Uptown Theatre 83/06/27 Popular Creek They can still surprise you. End wormhole. Praise DSO.

Lied, Cheated = Next Time You See Me. Baby Whose To Say = Blow Away. If you do not know the name of the song, at least record some words of the song. Deep stuff there. Hoping at some point Dead will officially release some way back material, even bits and pieces. Praise DSO.

Only three left. Losing Phil does tip the scales. Praise DSO.

Celebrating the band's 10th anniversary. Pretty crazy. Praise DSO.

Ouch, that one stings. Missed it by one. Stupid work. Talk about delivering the goods. Even slipping Big Boss Man into the filler. Unreal. Praise DSO.

A tradition unlike any other... The annual pilgrimage to Penn's Peak right around the corner. Heaven coming together with loving family on the mountain. Anyone else making the trip? Stories from previous Peaks? Got any wild speculations on setlists? Driving home one year we were going over railroad tracks while Caution played. How about New Speedway in a gooey old school elective? Praise DSO.

Listened to the end of the Dallas/Washington game on local DC radio on my way to work. Announcers lost it big for the McLaurin TD, had barely caught their breath for the agony of the PAT.

The power of the elective. With a Day Tripper to boot. Praise DSO.

Back four of the first got a nice roll going into the break. Feelin Groovy woven in lovingly. A syrupy slow Loose Lucy. The back of the second delivered with additional gusto, WRS Gold Star. Drive home a snow globe adventure. Thanks Band and Crew. See you in Pittsburgh. Praise DSO.

The sure sign a great time was had. Have carried note taking supplies at shows for years to mark the signposts. Praise DSO.

Breaking in Lost Sailor and Saint of Circumstance on that tour. First four Sailors sans Circumstance, interesting. After those first four, only other instance of Sailor not attached to Saint 85/11/01 Richmond, split by Drums/Space that evening. Praise DSO.

Appreciate the report, found. Hurray for start of late fall tour. See you Pittsburgh. Praise DSO.

Anyone else hearing Phil more acutely lately, or is it just me? Praise DSO.

Mr. Mom contains a Halloween scene as well. Praise DSO.

Probably will bring a little extra gravity to the Kennedy Awards. Amazing legacy of music. Thank you.
