Sweet got my 1st row dead center balcony tix for St. Louis. That GA floor gets oppressively packed and balcony was only $45 a ticket front row. Boom. We’ve started to get balcony when possible and reasonably priced at venues where it’s hard to dance and the pageant has so many chairs and tables and railed off tiers that it’s rough dancing and that pit is shoulder to shoulder. Wish they would remodel that place and just tear it all out and have 1 large flat floor like all of the new venues are doing.

we were going to do all 3 Phish Nashville in October until DSO announced fall tour with advanced notice yay. Now we are prob just gonna do 1-2 at Bridgestone since it’s the week before DSO does their 1st 3 of fall. I’m a fan of arena shows. You get the big sound and light shows and there should be tickets galore as Nashville is not a jam band town at all. They didn’t even open the upper level for Panic New Years for the Friday night show and had maybe 100-200 max upper level for actual New Years eve. Hoping for some cheap get in tix but phish is a bigger act.

James Brady is only oppressive if it’s packed. This place would be oppressive too sold out. This will be the show to go to on a Wednesday night. Should be dance room for days. It’s crazy how much Newport has grown up. That whole downtown area has been torn down and condos and hotels built up. I always wondered why Newport with a quick bridge to Cincy wasn’t the go to place to live if you work in downtown cincy as it’s the closest living area to downtown when most Cincy residents live 10 miles away. fun fact: Newport used to be Sin City. They had illegal gambling and prostitution houses and the liquor stores are still open until 2:30 am. They have changed a lot but it’s where peeps go for booze late night in cincy

brand new venue. Dso played there before. It evidently has a different name now but it’s a new, large, indoor outdoor venue. Boogie down. what’s weird is if you drive around if you will never find it. It’s on the 2nd floor of a parking garage. We and others were like where the hell is it then we see a tiny sign pointing to an elevator that takes you up

definitely a monster of a set 2.

yoo had 3 Richmond shows in 2022. 3/26/22 and 11/17 and 11/18/22. Facebook is where people who get way more than their fair share of shows go to complain. the very last show before Wyoming was Boston. That tour had a lot of Vermont and CT and nonstop New York. Dso plays different areas of the country on different tours. New York and the northeast has had way way more than they used to get. They play maybe 70 shows a year at this point and half have been up there. Again, Facebook is the place to go complain when you aren’t aware how they do tours and when they just played your town a couple shows ago and are mad they play in a different region. and I don’t even know what this is. Forums got a bit weird today.

Sweet. Several 3 day weekends that look nice. I’m shooting for the Birmingham>Atlanta>Chattanooga run and St. Louis at least. Real tour schedule again. Giddy up

Is there ever a night where you just open Apple Music/Tidal and search Willin’ and let every live version play in a row for over an hour? I’m there.

i sold a friends weekend ticket for $40 for rislofest on CashorTrade. Prob should have let you know

Got to see Panic at redrocks for 3 shows June 23-25th. Flight was delayed 6 hours which created a ton of stress and we got to the show 20 mins in which was so lucky. Unfortunately what we didn’t know is if you don’t get there way before doors which is 2:30 before the show, you can’t get in the seating part. Everyone puts down blankets and you are screwed. Saturday we get there 30 mins before doors and can only get row 53 of 70. You couldn’t hear any bass up there and the sound was super weak. Everyone near us was shocked how quiet the sound was. So Sunday we get in line at 2pm and get row 30. We were stilll disappointed in the sound. Panic usually turns it way up. You never complain about volume at their shows but it was lacking. The whole weekend was a race. Race to eat and hit dispensary then race to the show then race up the stairs to drop your blanket and secure a spot. We had zero time to enjoy Colorado. We did spend a ton of time at redrocks and it has gorgeous views so there’s that, but we won’t be going again for this. It’s like tailgating at a football game 3 straight days. We like getting to a show right before start time and relaxing before. There was none of that for us. I also realized that no matter what song, I can’t get to the level I get when DSO plays dead or several of the other dead bands we like. We couldn’t push through the pain Fron climbing stairs like we could if dead was playing. On that note we will probably catch Phisj 3 shows im Nashville early October b/c we can do all 3 without her requesting any PTO as it’s a quick drive.

id love some Saturday night then a Sunday 2pm show then hop on an 8pm flight home lol. Unfortunately her boss sent this scathing memo about how no one can request off work anymore well in advance and they have to wait until closer to request off which is insanity. She also said no requesting off near a federal holiday until the week before. This hospital job won’t last long if they won’t let us off for music. Besides beach week, every PTO day goes to music and dso besides a few exceptions. Having a young one it’s easier to deal with but as he gets older and easier to care for, we will be ready to hop on the bus for 9 days and see some shows.

It’s been so strange after following these guys for over 10 years to see tours dropping like this. I don’t know what to make of it. Is there another connector? Is it just Saturday night for Atlanta too. I know many many peeps who haven’t been able to do shows b/c of late announcements or single shows where you don’t wanna make an 8 hour trip for 1 show. I don’t understand what’s up with scheduling unless they are doing private parties or something on Friday. I’d assume there’s an Atlanta connector but they did do that solo Boston show. I just want to see a whole list and figure it out before someone else requests off that day from her work and we’re out of luck. hopefully with Deadco over and Billy mania possibly fading slightly, attendance will begin to pick up and dso can start doing 14 shows tours again.

Id guess around 2500-3k maybe. They have expanded the VIP area and I think it used to sell out at 3k peeps. Not sure capacity for jubilee now.

You need to definitely do it with your proximity.

i forgot you saw it live lol. 2 hours away. Huge dso fan. 1st jubilee. You guys were also last men out at 3pm 😂. edit: if you didn’t know, AC’s buddy woke at noon on Monday. Pretty much ignored security saying you have to leave as he made his coffee with no one else left in the venue. For a couple hours security tried to get them to leave until a stern warning came lol. Had such a good time didn’t want to go lol.

did they announce a St. Louis show in November?

back in the day when I was taking dead novices and dso virgins to shows, I really wanted them to play this era. Now I’d rather hear dso do originals, mid to late 80’s or old school. Most of my my friends now listen to dead at least in a rotation. They did that 69 at Louisville several years ago and it was a buddys 1sr show. I was worried but he thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was using big boy Pete lyrics that week and I’m like what’s that from. He’s like we heard it in Louisville. Note he likes to go big on getting a buzz on so that era was kind to him that night lol. I got a forty-five to keep me alive Seven bullets on my side

Looking back at this post, I don’t remember the band ever playing unfinished versions of songs. On the early GSET did they just do the couple minute version missing the hook? Sunshine daydream was like that the 1st 10+ versions

https://archive.org/details/jmaf2023-05-28.AKGmix.toaste.flac16/jmaf2023-05-28.AKGmix.t01.flac this was one of my favorite sets all weekend. Enjoy.

Mei’s fav thing is Charlie singing promontory rider. Thats the only song she desperately wants to hear.

I’m sure tea saw you. He doesn’t miss a stream. I think we may do Lazy summer home late august and camp. Indy should be a bit cooler by then. No way you’d want to camp in my area end of august. Likely still in the 90s

night 1 we were so tired trying to adjust to a night time schedule from a 9pm bed time that mei actually said at drums space she wanted to go to sleep. I made her push on but at 12:45 we were in the tent asleep. By night 3 i had my sea legs and a set 2 start of HSF is my favorite intro. Energy plays a huge part in musical enjoyment

Definitely night 3 set 2. It was a full on face melter.

If you fly to see every show, many songs get old but you see more shows than anyone likely. I’ll take all the Beatles that the band wants to do dead style. And you had to know we were getting a love the one your with and oh darling this weekend.

thats like slugging a pint of whiskey. With no tolerance, not sure how he could play.
