GDP sent me a front row center ticket for my hometown show which I went to after the final flip of the second set tape from 20th row center running the AKG460's hornhat > D5. DSO slayed this to the hilt. Couldn't ask for a better start to the weekend!

You got a point, he was in the balcony and from the clip he sent me, it looked loose and nice on the floor, which is where I would have been, in the massive mix.

My buddy in Nashville was disappointed by the sound system compared to what he said he experienced at his first JITS in January. The clip he sent me of Bertha did sound a bit thin, but with that setlist you all got a great show! Apparently one of his friends who saw one of the Carolina shows spoke of a similar disappointment. I can't say I've come away from a DSO show disappointed with the sound. Especially my last show in Chicago! One of the incentives that got me to Jubilee last year was the attraction of the unique sound system used for the festival. I wasn't disappointed with the sound and got enlisted back to this celebration since it left the ledges. Nashville crowds know how to do shows ~ it's music city!

Our friend in Nashville sent a video of the opener Bertha and my first thought was 78. Sorry to hear you had to miss the show and the reason why. My place got broken into in 2006, they cleared out my a/v equipment; however, I was really upset about my recently acquired concert material. That's when a friend introduced me to sugarmegs and archive to relieve the angst of losing the recordings. Definitely a violation feeling and a severe financial set back.

We got one Saturday night in Covington. I can appreciate your pleas because it is a great song all around ~ thought provoking lyrics with dissonant chords and squelching leads kept in check with the repeating "da na na na" loop and continually building to many, many chreshendas. The stage was set for Scarlet Fire with the other set openers (Shakedown, China Ryder and HSF) already delivered in the two previous concerts leading up to this one. In the way creative Dead musicians like to steer away from the predictable, it wasn't played, but Victim was and that was the ticket that led to Terrapin. Keep the manifestation going and it will materialize. Keep your emotions in check because you know, being the tourhead you are, it will either come at the show before your next show or the show right after your last, right? 🥹 but be at peace knowing your efforts have conjured it back! Saturday's Hyryder show was all about the Mountains of the Moon outta space and thankfully we didn't have to hear a OMSN on Saturday night!! Instead everyone was treated with Enjoying the Ryde as closer (not the predictable open) and we were graciously sent off Ryding Mighty High! SF is being held as a diamond for the mining road runners that get the them all. We got our SF on 420 so all is good going into an All Good weekend ⚡🎶🔥

Very nice! Killer Jerry and the Sunrise platform for Lisa to reign 🔥⚡ Appreciate the Intel, I'm sure you all are doing it right esp knowing you got shows to follow!

Ouch! That one hurts. I was sitting here Sat afternoon around 5, seriously contemplating coming down and that's a "should of" that's going to take a long time to get over. Been wanting, and asking, for a Reuben for quite awhile and Don't Let Go used to be in rotation before COVID; however, I believe that's the first one for BCE in forever (I know it got played at one of the side gigs on a Fri, from Lager reporting), Take a Melody has been a long time coming. Maybe both drummers were sick or couldn't make it so they ripped all those one drummer JGB tunes with the Mighty Dino English? My evil dark side is telling me the same troubling news it did during the eighties with The Grateful Dead ~ don't even think about missing a SPAC or RR or any show (after the 85 onslaught) and considering the Whirling Tiger is now the new Cosmic Charlies, it's only right that they dropped this show there 💫 Happy that Too Much Fun was in the house! May that ⚡🎶🔥 spread wildly to the fields of Thornvllle ⚡🎶🔥

Better seen through a camera. There was great views on the outskirts of metropolitan Cincinnati last night around 10:45, my sister captured some decent photos, that I'm trying to figure out how to share. I think Hyryder played their outdoor show at the mousetrap last night with the stage lights off during the second set in regards to this current phenomenon. The stream was dark from what I watched.

https://abc7amarillo.com/amp/news/local/northern-lights-spectacle-anticipated-may-10th-and-11th-2024 Get to an area of darkness tonight for an anticipated Northern lights spectrum @ an 8 of 9 visibility level for most of the country

https://archive.org/details/gd86-05-10.sbd.hinko.19962.sbeok.shnf Somehow a million roses fell from above onto the stage area on this beautiful sunny afternoon show as they started into Bertha, being barefoot on those cozy, grass covered 7 inch high, 5 foot wide tiers that made sugar coated Frosty Flakes out of all of us who could stand the lift off on that Sat in the land of lullabyes

I can't tell you how much I'd give to get another Zevon show. When an artist of Lanois's passion and caliber schedule shows I hate to have time and distance keep me from being there. I first heard about his guitar playing first hand from my long time Emmylou fan out of Salisbury, NC when Daniel played guitar for her band on a little 6-7 show run through the Carolinas and Virginia fall 1995. Buddy Miller then became Spyboy 's guitarist starting with their first show of Spring tour 1996 at Bogarts in Cincy, March 20th opening with Love Hurts. But Ray wrote about seeing some of the 95 fall shows with Lanois and, being a guitarist himself, exclaimed how unusual his playing was, no picks and strumming on all parts of the neck with passion that was fiery. Any FF in SoCal should get into one or all of the three shows starting Tuesday. Hopefully Charlie Miller takes on the challenge. He taped their show at the Wiltern when he opened for her on peddle steel then joined her playing the Wrecking Ball album in 2014, 🤞🤞🤞

Although it's a little disconcerting to look down at the trip odometer when showing 1000+ miles at 3am, with still another 500 to go, the time in the comfortable Hopkins Center for the Arts theater with the trio was drummer tight, bass thundering melodical groove while he crashed leads, harmonics, distortion and power with his golden Les Paul and soothed out some of best peddle steel slides with his quintessential emotions of love, sadness, family history and expressed humble gratitude to us and the world... This is also a three vocal harmony making it hard not to smile and feel peace. Opening surprisingly with Emmylou Harris's: Where Will I Be, then: I Love You, Moondog, Fire, That's The Way It Is, Under a Stormy Sky, then a song about growing up with his brother riding motorcycles across the US and Canada: Silver Riding With Silverado, Red I Love You and the Rest of the World, talked of his new love accepting his recent request for her to join in running away to the circus and getting lost: Slow Giving, sat down at peddle and was confounded there wasn't a bar , joking until his tech guy dug it out of a stage bag: JJ Leaves LA, then what he exclaimed his time in Jamaica and influenced by Bob Market was a brand new song from the bar gliding and grinding on the strings, back at the Les Paul for: Daughters and Sons>The Maker. Came back out for Stillwater, then said they had to travel and the grandparents in the audience should get back to their grandchildren. They've just added a third night to the already scheduled Tues, Wed and now Thurs in the Dreamland Theater Malibu California with a 100 audience cap on the space. That's going to be a catalog diving run and most likely new experimental music creating time. Check out the 3D virtual tour of the theater space with unusual couches, Easy Chairs and tiger statues ... wild

It took long enough, next Saturday 5/4/24 in Hopkins, MN (there's still some tickets ~ $48.00 + $2.00 fee) and then a couple of shows in California. Gotta love the $2.00 ticket fee these days. 〽️

I wish I was a HEADLIGHT on that northbound TRAAAiiiNNNaiN!!! It's the Thursday right before their annual RR event.

It's going to be a last minute decision with all the whirlwind of the unexpected and eyes wide open; however, if I'm graced with the privilege of attending, that I will

Streaming Phish pholks came by the Burl in Lexington. Talked to one cat that was a Goose fan before the drummer died and is disappointed with the return with new members citing they're sounding like Phish now. He's a Phish tour head and that's what he liked about the original Goose, being different. I never added any Goose shows when being prompted by Hyryder fans at mousetrap shows a couple of years back. My concert reportore didn't have room for Goose, but I did like talking when their fans, they just weren't getting a new recruit. I believe this Friday in Lexington will most likely be my last Billy Strings having started with with him back at the JHMF in 2014. I got him to sign my acoustic guitar the third day of the three night NYE run up in Pontiac Michigan because him and his band were staying at the same Marriott hotel that he had set up for fans at a cheap rate with shuttle runs back and forth to all 3 shows. The front of the guitar has a black catfish on it and his William Apostle signature came down nicely off of the catfish's whiskers. He's was psyched about that. Met Duck and sons for the first time there in 12/31/18 and ran into him again at Billy's 2022 NYE show 🎶🔥⚡

BCE 420 Lexington: #1 Shakedown Street, Used to Love Her, The Race is On, Run for the Roses, LR Rooster, BE Women, Wang Dang Doodle, TLEO, Blow Away>Don't Ease. #2: Scarlet>Fire (with Dino English sitting in for one of the drummers), Easy Wind, Waiting for A Miracle, TWLWMYD, Truckin, Black Peter, I Need a Miracle, OMSN. Encore: Sugar Magnolia (no SSDD) The Shakedown opener was reminiscent of the Long Beach '81 with the nice long ending accentuating the keyboard with the guitar interplay. Good seeing DSO friend at the end of the show 〽️

Agreed, anything with Lanois hand in it is good work and I could see where their sound would lend itself to the visual effects of the sphere Thanks the photos Tea! Looking forward to inside reviews when they get their heads back together 🫠

Hopefully dd and dd made it in

https://www.wusf.org/arts-culture/2024-04-18/dickey-betts-dies-allman-brothers-band-dickey-sarasota-county-home Great Southern was his main band outside of Allman Brothers. So sad, really one of the most enjoyable guitarists of our times and he cont'd to play shows regularly throughout the years on his own.

Another ticket raising culprit that's embedded in the music's scene is "Platinum Seating" with it's $300-500 single seats further validating today's standards of $185-900 to see a concert. Recently in Cincinnati Coney Island pool (gathering watering site for thousands of locals for many, many years) got demolished to build a new concert venue. Understand this is right next to Riverbend Music Amphitheatre and PNC Pavilion making it essentially not needed because Riverbend and PNC are hard pressed to sellout their current line ups. I know groups of friends that have looked forward to summer each year to get season passes to Sunlight Pool at Coney Island. It's been a big part of socialization for the Cincinnati community and now being replaced with the new money making industry of concerts. The middle man triumphs once again and also reinforces the phrasing of "the good old days" for concert goers who got in coliseum shows for under $10 all the way through most of the '80s. The local news is not reporting that it was the Cincinnati Symphony that destroyed this social pool venue. I dew believe I'm near the end of going to concerts, or as phrased by Bob Dylan in the first verse of Going, Going, Gone.... "it's the top of the end"

Drove 30 min. out of Cincy for the first quarter through total at 3:08, then left fairly quickly after having experienced the 20 hr drive home from the last one when we went just outside of Nashville 😳. Got home in 25 min this time 😎. There was a plane that timed it perfectly, flying across it right before the sun was completely blocked. Weird how it's been rainy and cloudy up until today and then the forecast shows going back to rainy and cloudy after today. Today was remarkably clear

Encouraged and somewhat challenged, I started with the 5:10 min from 3/15/69 and the last 7:32 from 8/26/71 and listened going back and and forth from these bookends quickly realizing that you two have found the most enjoyable H2H's. (I'm open to any others from the mega drive search)Thanks for the lead though because I got to see how quickly Keith came in to play and understand the introduction of the 5 new songs in consideration of Pigpen's lost material. The five new ones became as paramount from 71-79 as pigpen's were from 65-71 and then similarly with Brent's new material from 79-90. Not so with Vince's 90-95.

https://archive.org/details/gd84-04-06.sbd.willy.10159.sbeok.shnf Fortunately I was able to catch my 3rd show because someone decided not to go at a Friday night house party in Laramie, Wyoming and I took my friend Tim up on the suddenly available Sat night Grateful Dead ticket for the Aladdin Theater in Las Vegas. This adventure was about the road trip. 780 miles each way and having to be back in class by Monday morning. My first two were about seeing the Grateful Dead and were only in Morrison, CO, 9/7 & 9/8/83 a mere 2 1/2 drive from UW. My fourth show was about both the road trip and the excitement of seeing the band again in Syracuse fall of '84. By then I was enrolled in college back in Cincinnati in the professional drama program CCM offered @ UC. As you listen to the end of this show picture Bobby sitting on the edge of the stage swinging his legs back and forth during SSDD🎉🎶🔥⚡also a real drippy space only a week before the last Dark Star for five years. I didn't get my first HSF until it was revived by the Warlocks in '89, even then it took me until 1990 having not gone to 9/6/83😞. But now all is good with DSO keeping things in progress! This here is an outstanding DSDB. Give a whirl without looking at the setlists... there's an unusual surprise after d/s (Edited 4/8/24)~ the comments under this archive recording tell about how closely the band was connected to the audience and illustrate the dedication of the audience to the scene and the band to the audience)
