Anyone in Milwaukee tonight and tomorrow?

We are doing Milwaukee, Penn's Peak, Delaware. Wellmont Theater will be last minute decision. Huntington is a possibility also.

Stop complaining Rude and hop on a plane ✈

What are the dates? We are Missing most summer shows because dates were announced after already making plans. 😞

Y'all obviously never had a ripe Jersey tomato ❤

We can only do 1 show and wondering if single day tix will be availabl?

Found it was great to see you and to meet your lady! Skip was on fire and the Women Smarter A+

Different name but same me.

Elective played very well. Personally not a fan of Seaside I feel it represents the worst of what New Jersey has to offer but those that went into the show seemed to be a very good Dead crowd. Many familiar faces everybody seemed to have a very good time dancing although not easy dancing in the sand. We got down the best we could! Some highlights were Box of Rain opener, a deal to end the set that came as close as can be to the Grateful Dead when Jerry was having a good night, mission in the rain a very good funky Corrrina and a Low Spark coming out of space very good! when Jeff broke a string towards the end band went into a Low Spark Jam until he got restrung. Very fun show good concert grounds and could ramble on down to the waves breaking on the ocean... Nicole and I had a blast 😄

I spoke with Metropolitan Police Department this morning they said for the last week or so the truckers have backed up traffic on the belt from around 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day...

Saw Brandford Marsalis quartet last week. Amazing!

June 89 I think. Great show!! Band on fire. Plenty of dancespace Good friends :)

I was at this show. Without Lowell I was not impressed. If you haven't heard this give it a listen. Fantastic.

I don't see anyone booked at the Anthem Dec 4th! Probably the best indoor venue I've seen DSO. Plenty of room for social distancing. Who knows?

Sad to see them go! I guess time tells a tale ever-changing... I think that's why I love DSO, in the moment ALL time stops.

I am happy for my friends that could be there! I had other obligations and am feeling sorrow for not being in Utah.

Great show. Corrina-morning dew was special except for the talking and cackleing nearby during Dew!

Fantastic Shaw and Great venue. The rain show a few years back was good but with perfect whether it was amazing! This is why I keep seeing dso after 400+shows. Their interpretation of the dead and Garcia was beyond explanation at the amphitheater! They continued to blow my mind with songs that I don't like and really find out that I do like them. I saw them do day job once in Asbury Park and I hated it when they didit this time I was surprised at how good it was. The Corina into China cat what's a surprise. I never liked karina then a few years back at Black Mountain they did China cat and it was great with a Segway thinking it's going into I know you Rider but they went into Karina and I'm dancing saying but I don't like this song LOL Friday night Karina was really good another surprise was that I never liked and heard quite a few why don't we do it in the road. Friday night do it in road was sung and played with an energy that has me wanting more!!! Melody stir it up etc all great. It was so good to see everybody after a long hiatus. And my wife (Nicole) is starting to dig the music and the love in this microcosm of society we call family. Y'all made her feel very comfortable. Please excuse typos and misspellings I am using voice to text on the phone. I fat thumbs!

Sounds like a great time! I miss you all!

How is the venue?

i just went online to buy a SATUDAY PARKING SPOT. Sold Out! if anyone has a full spot to sell i will buyI thanks

Sun give me a call. Old phone took a crap and lost some numbers..

Thanks Greg. I think this might be too personal for others to talk about on a public forum.

Thoughts on a long drive... On social media I have seen the phrase you must have drank the Kool-Aid. As if it was a bad thing. On the contrary. My experience with Electric Kool-Aid and other psychedelics have been beneficial in my life and I thank God for it. My first experience was 14 years old I liked it so I continued with taking 97 of the other 99 hits over the next two weeks. Later that year on a Sunday friends and I all dropped acid and just after the peak wanting to get back to that place I dropped a couple more hits. Everybody was going home and as I was walking with my friend Jim he asked if I would be okay and I said I don't know I'm really spaced he said hold on I'll be right out he went into his house and came out and gave me the album American Beauty. He said just listen to this over and over you will be okay. that was the night that I became a "dead head". The music and Community has brought so much joy to my life and continues to do so... I have since taking LSD somewhere between 300 and 500 times in my life in addition to peyote a handful of times and mushrooms over 2,000 timetimes. Not bragging it is what it is and my life is an open book. I have literally seen the world through a parabolic lens on 5000 micrograms I have seen images of my mouth laughing at me from the top of my feet. Leo Kottke comes to mind... I have seen the blood flowing through the veins of my eyelids laying on my back on 14 grams of mushrooms. I have seen this and much more and it was fun and good times but that is not the benefits I'm talkin about. I have spent long periods of time questioning what is real. being stripped of all preconceived notions of the world and people and trees and the sun and moon the stars and the universe. I have dosed and had the justifications rationalizations of my fallibility as a human being torn away to expose my spirit and soul for what it really is. largely due to my experiences with psychedelics I see things and Life a little bit differently. everything I have experienced from books read television shows movies politics religion God the concepts of good and bad Humanity love hatred has all been influenced By psychedelics. I am currently driving down the road the New Jersey Turnpike with a landscape of power lines and Towers with puffy grey and white clouds with a pale blue background during sunrise. Beautiful. I am in awe of the existence of the world I live in. We live in... yesterday morning was the sunrise over the ocean that created awe. My understanding and feeling empathy compassion and sympathy for others has been exponentially multiplied by my psychedelic experiences. This is good! don't get me wrong I am not some spiritual Guru or anything. On some days I am still a dick. I can be angry feel discusted or resentful. Even these negative attributes about myself have been shaped by my experiences with psychedelics. kind of put into its proper perspective without the rationalizations and justifications... I am not suggesting that this is the path for everybody in life but it has certainly influenced me for the better. I have not tripped in over 25 years as a result of my addictive tendencies. the experiences of my past create the road map of today... some days when life seems confusing listening to the music play doesn't seem like enough but I am patient and hold on to my convictions 🙂 . when lacking direction or not sure which path to take I am an advocate of chemical shock therapy and some days I think 10 hits of acid would give me a new perspective on life😆 but then I realize I just need to bring up my past psychedelic experiences and this is best done through the music I love. Kind of going back to the beginning. So yes my friends I have drank the Kool-Aid and I am a better person as a result of it:- 🙂 . Please excuse any mispronunciations and read through the garble if you can this is dictated voice to text while driving the beautiful New Jersey Turnpike. Is anyone else's life an open book? I would love to hear your experiences...
