Rude

Wasn’t that your 1st show toomuchfun?

Umm car camping. Would you guys care if boss happens to wake up and scream middle of the night. He’d love camping as we are free range parents—you know that controversial method of parenting how everyone of us fucking grew up but if you do it now you get social services on your ass. Chris you need to handle 4a-8a duty. You’ll prob be up until then anyway. Don’t be twisting my arm or I may accept the peer pressure

If you take that 7/4-5 slot you have to sell it out. I don’t know how ticket sales are going to be but have to assume they are down a bit. Not sure if DSO could command those 2 days and would think Red Rocks would go with someone they know could sell it. Now say if you do DSO then JRAD or some combo of 2 dead bands you have a shot at it if they both agreed not to book a competing show the other ones night. That could be cool. On Dead50 weekend, DSO sold out July 2nd before it started and we did the July 3rd Dso show and it was empty b/c everyone was at dead50. Then we capped the weekend with the July 4 show which was so fun. Another issue about July 4th is it’s on a Monday. That would be rough to pull off a sellout.

Just announced. Playing in the cave. Personally I like the outdoor amphitheater better. Indoors is packed and sound bounces everywhere. But….this is the weekend before Jubilee which makes it tough for the regulars to be gone the weekend before we head out Thursday for 4 days for jubilee.

We’d try to make it if 2 nights red rocks. I’d guess more likely deadco plays those 2 days.

I won’t drive cross country again like we did a few years ago. Too old for an 18 hour day on the road. I’ll fly and rent a car but getting from Kentucky to Palm Springs in 36 hours almost did me in. That counts sleeping. Once we made it out there it was gravy but that drive....

The mission ballroom looked packed in the pics especially in comparison to the covid crowds I’ve seen lately. That amazing Coca Cola Roxy in Atlanta was at maybe 10% capacity Friday night. Someone on stage joked for people to bring a friend to the Saturday show. Skip said can you all bring 5. That mission looked like old days and a 3 day run there would be cool. Curious how packed the Anthem is gonna be. That place is the crown jewel of the new music venues but holding 6k means there’s gonna be some room to boogie.

I don’t know why I thought this was a small venue. Isn’t there a small ballroom in Denver that DSO has played. I googled mission ballroom and realized it’s about 4k capacity. Looks like a great spot to get down.

He needs to stock up on black sweat pants and black tees with an occasional red tee thrown in there. He was smoking a cig so he’s got that part down. did Jerry ever wear a full tie dye outfit or is that creative license. I’m sure there will be a lot of that. A pure Jerry docudrama would likely be a tad boring or at least based on his last 15 years. Play show, hide out, go to Hawaii.

There’s been a bunch of dso shows where I begged for a ballad to take a breather. With the last couple years of fewer shows and a more sedentary life, I think we’ve all lost a step or 2 on our dance game compared to pre pandemic so I need a ballad or long tuning every other song. Play Freebird.......ballad style!!

I hope Eaton drops one on archive.

That’s a great Atlanta dead band name for sure!!!!

Starting out with a 69 to begin tour in Tahoe is the way to do it. Haven’t caught a 69 since Louisville in 2018 but caught 4 Straight of their 69s over an 18 month stretch from ‘16-‘18. This was actually the 1st 69 recreation since 11/19. Ugh. I knew I should have called social services and said I need a foster parent for 2 weeks so I can fly out west to see some shows. Those foster parents only make like $600 a month so that’s pro rated to $20 a day. That’s some cheap babysitting and pretty sure they are available at a moments notice. The Baby Kennel chain is pretty expensive in our area at like $700 a week. That would add up after a long tour plus they only play Christian music all day long but they don’t allow dancing as that leads to fornication. The boss likes Talking heads followed by Dead, so that’s a nonstarter and he dances a lot so don’t want him getting lashed while we are away.

That is the worst analogy I’ve ever heard. Bobby being on stage didn’t cost dso a shot in the jam band finals. This is music, not a scored sport. The creator of this music sat in and for 40 minutes they played a slightly different style of music with a legend. You’d likely hate jazz fest as at 2am on Frenchmen St there are tons of collaborations where a member from 5 different bands come together to do something different. My suggestion is see more shows. The more you see, the more you crave something like this that’s a bit different. Gr8fulpair and I freaking loved when Donna joined the band in Birmingham for a Jerry band show. We saw something unique. Bobby has joined the band like 3x or so ever?

how many are you doing. Did I last see you in Utah or Asheville?

I’d be thrilled to see bobby join dso for 5 songs even if it is slow tempo. It’s Bobby FFS. The band loves it too. It lends credibility and the articles about Bobby playing with them get shared across dead sites leading to more potential ticket buyers in the future. It’s good for the fans and the band!!!! Eaton plays Bobby guitar. He’s happy to have a sit while his idol fills in.

well my friends are spread out over the country and we get together for show runs. Locally you’d be extremely lucky to get 10 friends to do anything much less traveling. I’ve probably got more close friends from dso shows than I have locally considering kids, life and jobs get in the way like you say after 40.

Boring

The current reality sort of discourages a whole tour. You don’t have many who are on the road too which takes a bit of the fun away and covid restrictions are a cherry on top of the shit burger that’s our reality atm. I’ve been pulled on whole tours with peer pressure. The more the merrier and without friends on tour, it’s not the same. If 10 friends were like Tahoe baby, I maybe would have snuck out there for the weekend, but alas no. I think the lack of pull from different friend groups really hurts attendance. If your local friend group isn’t going to a local show for whatever reason you may not either. We are pulling some St Louis friends to Jrad in the Lou right before a 3 show dso run, but if we weren’t going, they wouldn’t either as they need that peer pressure. I figure I’ve gotten friends over the years to purchase 400 dso tickets and one year we had 7-8 from my hometown pack up for jubilee. MC was a huge peer pressure driver of ticket sales. He was maybe one of the best dso promoters ever as he’d make peeps get in his car to hit the next show. I was nrver like that but I put my share of peer pressure on friends be it local or far away. I think that’s sort of gone since the start of the pandemic. Turn and face the strange ch ch ch changes

So you have the right to spout your views but those musicians can’t. Talk about being a snowflake. Oh no. A musician pulled their music for their beliefs. I’m going to lose my mind. Joe Rogan can do what he wants but they can’t. Got it. It’s the mind of the right wing. They want to cancel anyone who doesn’t think like them and don’t understand the hypocrisy of their stance.

It was sad to see him have to be golf carted in and sadder to see the golf cart get stuck trying to turn around to take him 4 feet closer to the stage. You just don’t survive severe obesity into old age like that. You don’t want to see talented people like that die. A human body can survive most things into old age, but severe obesity isn’t one of them. He’s 68 years old. That’s pretty much a miracle and not to be morbid, but making it to jubilee at that age with that health condition is in no way assured.

saw him at the caverns earlier this year. I don’t think he’s long for this earth sadly. You get to a point to where you either decide to make a change to live or you don’t.

St. Louis vs cincy in the SB Mahomes had an epic collapse starting with 5 secs left in the 2nd Q. Crazy. It looked like he forgot how to throw. He was putrid after a hot start. then Stafford tried to lose and had the easiest int of the year dropped. Wow.

My buddy is like Burrow won the game. I’m like bro, Tennessee was driving. Your defense won the game. Burrow refused to throw the ball away and took 9 sacks. On at least 3-4 of those he should have thrown it away and he took a sack in FG range end of the game that forced a punt when it was tied 16-16. The only thing you can’t do at the 35 is take a sack. If your 1st read isn’t open on 3rd at the 35, you throw it away.

KC can’t get to the QB like Tennessee. They also don’t have an inept QB like Tennessee.
